No Sleep, Burnout & Mum Brain: Expert Tips For A Better Night's Sleep

Most mums are dealing with exhaustion and a lack of sleep these days and feeling like there's no end in sight. In this episode, I sit down with Australia’s leading sleep expert, Olivia Arezzolo, to unpack why so many of us are exhausted, wired, and waking up at 3am, and what we can actually do about it. Olivia shares her powerful personal story, from battling severe mental and physical health challenges as a teenager to rebuilding her life and becoming one of the most trusted voices in sleep, stress, and holistic health. This isn’t just a conversation about getting more rest. It’s about understanding your body, your hormones, and the hidden factors that could be quietly sabotaging your wellbeing. We dive deep into the science of sleep, covering everything from cortisol and melatonin to the real impact of stress, blue light, fasting, and alcohol on your sleep quality. Olivia also breaks down her “Five Fundamentals” for better sleep - simple, actionable strategies you can start implementing tonight, no matter how busy your life is. Whether you’re a busy mum, a high performer, or just someone who wants to feel better, clearer, and more energised, this episode is packed with insights that could genuinely change your nights (and your days). Information contained in this episode is general in nature and is not intended as medical advice. If you have concerns about ongoing sleep issues, consult your health professional.

Healing After Heartbreak: 'Saying Yes To Grief' with Eslana Lower (Part 2)

This episode deals with suicide, bullying and sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised. Elsana Lower is a nurse, a mindset coach and a mum. In the last episode, she shared the raw reality of losing her teenage daughter Rylee to suicide following abuse and online bullying. In the deeply moving conclusion to our conversation, Elsana Lower explores the transformative power of forgiveness and the mindset required to survive the unimaginable. This episode dives into the mechanics of 'learning to live and grieve simultaneously', offering a roadmap for anyone sitting in the "depths of hell" and is searching for a reason to choose life. Elsana discusses how choosing forgiveness was not a gift to those who hurt her daughter, but a necessary disconnection to save her own life and release her attachment to their outcomes. She also talks about the importance of breaking self-isolation by showing up for social connections, even when your "social battery" feels empty, and using gratitude to retrain the brain to look for the "best part of the day," making it harder for the mind to dwell on the negative.

Life After 'Married At First Sight': Carina Mirabile Spills The Tea

Most people think they know Carina Mirabile from the hit TV series Married At First Sight… but what you see on screen is only part of the story. In this episode, Carina joins me for a raw and unfiltered conversation about what really happens behind the scenes of reality TV — from strict rules and emotional pressures, to the mental toll of being watched (and judged) by millions. She opens up about spending her own money to keep up her on-screen image, the truth about her relationship with Paul on MAFS, and why the experience changed the way she sees love, identity, and herself. We also dive into the darker side of fame — online trolling, anxiety, and what dating looks like after reality TV in a world of apps and questionable intentions.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte on Coming Out, Co-Parenting & Living Authentically

Natalie Bassingthwaighte is one of Australia's best-known entertainers, thanks to her years in musical theatre, starring role on soap Neighbours and fronting dance act Rogue Traders. This week, Nat joins me on Let’s Be Real for one of her most raw and honest conversations yet. After years in the spotlight, Natalie opens up about the story behind the headlines, and what it was really like to unravel the version of herself she had been living for so long. Natalie speaks candidly about juggling fame, motherhood, marriage, co-parenting, coming out later in life, and the terrifying but freeing process of choosing authenticity. She opens up about the moment that changed her life while performing in the stage production of Jagged Little Pill, the “electric” connection she felt when she met her now-fiancée Pip, and the reality of navigating such a deeply personal journey as the world watched. This is a conversation about heartbreak, healing, identity, blended families, public pressure, therapy, and learning to honour your heart. You can read more about Nat's story in her book Love Like This, which is out now.

Why You Keep Feeling Stuck (And How to Break Free) with Georgie Stevenson

In this episode, I sit down with Georgie Stevenson - entrepreneur, podcaster and founder of Nu Harvest supplements, and Rise & Conquer, the self-development platform brand built on manifestation and self-trust. Georgie shares her journey from studying law and working at a corporate firm to walking away from it all to follow a path that felt more aligned with her values. What started as a creative side hustle quickly evolved into multiple thriving businesses. But this conversation goes deeper than business. We unpack the power of manifestation and what it really means (and what most people get wrong), the value in identity shifts, and why becoming the person you want to be matters more than chasing external success. Georgie breaks down practical tools to help you get unstuck, rewire your thinking, and step into a new version of yourself - even when it feels uncomfortable. If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or like you’re capable of more, this episode will change the way you think about growth, mindset, and what’s possible for your life.
