    Episode 126: How Lachlan met Marcaela - "It All Started With One Photo"

    What if one night you were never supposed to have changed the rest of your life? Neither Lachlan nor Marcaela was supposed to make it onto a harbour cruise that night. Against the odds, they both did. Then came one small moment of confidence: Lachlan crashing a photo, offering to take one for Marcaela and unknowingly beginning one of the most romantic love stories I've had the privilege of hearing. Coming from different countries and cultures, their connection had every reason to remain a beautiful memory from one extraordinary night. Instead, after only weeks together, they made the daunting decision to attempt long-distance and spent years wholeheartedly choosing a relationship that asked both of them to take an enormous chance on love. Now, finally living in the same country, they're building a life together while supporting each other's individual dreams. As the first couple I've interviewed in months, Lachlan and Marcaela feel like the perfect love story for this new era of Just Enamoured. Because while chance may have put two people on the same boat, chance didn't build their relationship. They did. This is a story about distance, sacrifice, commitment and the beautiful things that can happen when two people decide that love is worth the risk and keep choosing each other long after that first leap of faith.

    Episode 125 - "A Sober Love Story" Learning to Love Myself Without Alcohol

    For a long time, I believed alcohol made me someone worth loving. It gave me confidence. It made me louder, funnier and more uninhibited. It helped me create a version of myself that I thought other people loved and for a while, a version of myself that I loved too. But maintaining that person came at a cost. In one of the most vulnerable episodes I've recorded, I reflect candidly on my relationship with alcohol, the ways it negatively shaped parts of my life and the uncomfortable realisation that something I associated with confidence, connection and belonging was slowly pulling me further away from myself. I explore the moments that forced me to reconsider my relationship with drinking, the imposter syndrome I felt around my own authenticity and what happened when I stopped relying on intoxication to become the person I thought I needed to be. Because sobriety, for me, has become about much more than not drinking. It's been about learning that I don't need to manufacture a different version of myself to feel confident, interesting or worthy of connection. That somewhere along the way, I realised this wasn't really a story about giving up alcohol. It was a story about finally learning to love the person who remained without it.

    Episode 124 - “Icarus Didn’t Have A Back-Up Plan, Why Should I?” with Nathan Hamilton

    What if Plan A is the only plan you ever wanted? Nathan Hamilton and I met at a professional wrestling tryout, two people throwing ourselves into something difficult, uncomfortable and uncertain but something we're both truly passionate about and we’ve been bonded by that pursuit ever since. In this episode, we unpack the reality of chasing a life that offers no guarantees. Nathan opens up about his journey as an actor, the moments that pushed him towards this pursuit and why performing, storytelling and creating have never felt like career choices to him. They feel like home. We talk candidly about the thrill and agony of being an actor, the rejection and uncertainty that come with choosing a creative life and what it means to keep pursuing something when the world constantly encourages you to find something safer. And through our shared experience of wrestling training, the pain, setbacks, growth and strange fulfilment found in voluntarily doing something incredibly hard, we explore what relentless ambition actually looks like while you're still in the middle of it. Nathan doesn't have a perfectly mapped-out destination. He just knows the kind of life he wants to live: on stages, in front of cameras, inside wrestling rings and wherever else he gets the opportunity to tell stories. This is a conversation about refusing the back-up plan, embracing the possibility of falling and choosing to build your life around the thing that makes you feel most alive.

    Episode 123 - "How Bad Do You Want It?!" Re-Chasing The Dream of Becoming a Professional Wrestler

    For years, I carried shame around the way my first attempt at becoming a professional wrestler ended. I told myself I had moved on. I focused on my career, built a life I was proud of and buried a dream that I was too ashamed to admit I had given up on. But five years later, I found myself asking a difficult question: how can I tell young people they can chase their dreams if I’m unwilling to chase mine? As a teacher and someone who hopes to be a father one day, I don’t just want to give that advice. I want to model it. In one of my most personal episodes, I unpack the guilt, excuses and self-pity that followed my first attempt at wrestling, what made me fall in love with it again and why returning this time means so much more than simply becoming a professional wrestler. This is about confronting a version of myself I no longer recognise, putting myself in uncomfortable situations and refusing to let an old failure decide how the story ends. Because sometimes the question isn’t whether you have a dream. It’s how bad do you want it?

    Episode 122 - "The Return" with Justin Magsino

    For the last nine months, Just Enamoured has taken me around the world through conversations with extraordinary people over Zoom. I've loved learning their stories, but I've found myself hungry to get back in the room. Back to face-to-face conversations. Back to the intimacy, vulnerability and unpredictability. Back to the grind of being a personal, introspective podcaster. This episode marks the beginning of that next chapter by reflecting on the year that brought me here. 2026 has my wife and I in the middle of chasing our dreams. Emma has just launched her own skincare business and is discovering the realities of entrepreneurship, while I'm back training to become a professional wrestler, embracing the physical challenges, uncertainty and fulfilment of pursuing a childhood dream. I'm also one month away from becoming a qualified marriage celebrant, we've moved back in with my parents and I somehow came incredibly close to appearing on reality television. None of these stories have neat endings yet. We're still living them. And that's what this episode explores: what does it actually mean to take the things you love seriously while you're still in the uncertainty, sacrifice and grind of making them real? Just Enamoured is going back to its roots, but it's evolving as I evolve too. New Episodes out EVERY TUESDAY 6:00am AEST.  Hosted by Justin Magsino.

    Episode 121 - "The Way Back To You" with Elizabeth Jane

    What happens when the life you've spent decades building suddenly disappears and you're left asking who you are without it? In this episode of Just Enamoured, I sit down with Elizabeth Jane, bestselling author of FREE and FIRST: Unlocking Your Ultimate Life, emotional wellbeing expert, speaker and artist, for an incredibly open conversation about heartbreak, identity, self-love and rebuilding a life when the future you imagined is no longer there. After the sudden collapse of her 25-year marriage, Elizabeth found herself confronting far more than the loss of a relationship. Looking back, she realised that somewhere between raising four children, supporting her family, navigating different careers and fulfilling the roles expected of her, she had gradually sidelined her own needs and lost touch with parts of herself. What followed wasn't simply a journey of "moving on." It became a journey back to herself. Elizabeth candidly shares the emotional reality of those early days, from struggling to get out of bed and wrestling with anger, grief and victimhood, to eventually recognising that while she couldn't control what had happened, she could take responsibility for what came next. Together, we explore why putting yourself first isn't necessarily selfish, the importance of boundaries and honest communication, the difference between being a "human being" and constantly becoming a "human doing," and Elizabeth's belief that our internal state profoundly shapes the way we experience our relationships and the world around us. We also unpack her "ABC of Me" approach, acknowledging and accepting how you feel, establishing boundaries and communicating them and how these lessons ultimately changed not only Elizabeth's relationship with herself, but the way she now approaches love. Eight years after initially searching outside herself to feel loved again, Elizabeth reflects on finding a relationship where she can speak openly, live authentically and show up without the walls that once existed in her life. At its heart, this is a conversation about what can emerge from profound change: learning to know yourself again, choosing yourself without abandoning the people you love, and discovering that sometimes rebuilding your life begins by rebuilding the relationship you have with you.

    Episode 120 - "Tchaikovsky, Creativity and the Hidden Inner Life of the Artist” with Chris Nielsen

    What if the experiences that make the least sense in our lives are the ones that invite us to ask the deepest questions? In this episode of Just Enamoured, I sit down with Chris Nielsen, best-selling author, former classical ballet dancer, cultural communication specialist, holistic healer and self-described "life researcher" for one of the most unconventional and thought-provoking conversations I've had about identity, purpose and the search for meaning. Chris shares how a life surrounded by art, culture, discipline and achievement eventually led her somewhere completely unexpected: regression therapy. Through years of exploring current- and past-life regression, Chris came to understand her experiences through the belief that she had lived previously as composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, a discovery she says helped her reinterpret everything from her childhood connection to ballet and music to deeper emotional patterns within her life. But this conversation isn't simply about who Chris believes she may have been. It's about why we search for meaning in the first place. Together, we explore Chris's understanding of regression therapy, why she believes healing matters more than simply uncovering a story and the questions that have driven her to examine the patterns, relationships, pain, love and seemingly inexplicable moments that shape a human life. Chris also opens up about the vulnerability of sharing such deeply personal beliefs publicly through her book Being Pyotr Ilyich, the six-year journey to bring it into the world and why she ultimately felt that what she had discovered was something she needed to share with others.

    Episode 119 - "Do You Want To Be The Hero Of Your Own Story?" with Kate Markland

    What happens when one of the most painful chapters of your life becomes the beginning of a story you never imagined writing? In this episode of Just Enamoured, I sit down with Kate Markland, former physiotherapist and creator of StoryQuest, for an incredibly personal conversation about motherhood, storytelling, creativity and the fundamental human need to feel heard. Kate's journey began during a court-ordered separation from her son, Gabriel, when their relationship was reduced to just one hour of FaceTime each week. In the middle of an experience filled with grief and uncertainty, they turned to storiea and one spontaneous question changed everything: "Do you want to be the hero of your own story?" What began as a deeply personal way for a mother and son to remain connected grew into the Adventures of Gabriel book series, workshops in schools, and eventually StoryQuest: a movement centred on giving children the confidence and freedom to become authors of their own stories. But this conversation goes much deeper than writing. Kate reflects on her childhood dream of figure skating and the uninhibited creativity she once felt on the ice, her 20-year career as a physiotherapist where she learned that "the answer always lay in somebody's story," and the unexpected way those seemingly disconnected chapters of her life eventually came together. We explore why children can become afraid of the blank page, what happens when we prioritise their voices over getting everything "right," and the extraordinary things young people can create when they're given permission to trust their imaginations. And beneath it all is something even more personal, a mother's love for her son, the refusal to allow silence to have the final word and the decision to transform their story into an opportunity for other children to discover the power of their own. As Kate herself realises towards the end of our conversation: at the end of the day, it's a love story.   You can find all her work here: https://katemarkland.com/    New Episodes out EVERY TUESDAY 6:00am AEST.  Hosted by Justin Magsino.
