    Alex Fevola on Grief, a Public Affair and Giving Her Marriage Another Chance

    You knew Alex Fevola’s name. But how much of her story did you really know? Alex joins me to talk about losing Mia’s father just four weeks after giving birth — and the medical emergency that nearly took her life that same day. We also talk about raising her four daughters, living through a very public affair, and why she and Brendan found their way back to each other after divorcing. This is an honest conversation about grief, motherhood, betrayal and finding the strength to begin again. ❤️ 00:00 Meet Alex Fevola 04:41 Losing Mia’s Father 08:19 The Day Alex Nearly Died 13:20 Grieving While Raising a Newborn 17:36 Watching Mia Grow Up in the Public Eye 22:25 How Alex Met Brendan 24:59 The Affair and Public Humiliation 28:54 Why They Got Back Together After Divorce 33:28 Raising Four Daughters Through It All 39:05 The Relationship Alex Has With Her Girls 50:32 Building Runway Room 59:05 Telling Her Story in Her Book THE ELLA ERA: Instagram | TikTok ELLA MAY DING: Instagram | TikTok PARTNERSHIPS: ⁠klaudia@pivotalconversations.ai Learn more about your ad choices.

    We Never Thought We’d Speak Again | Part 2

    You heard how it all fell apart. Now, we’re talking about what brought us back together. Domenica Calarco joins me for Part 2 — and the final chapter — of the conversation we’ve waited over two years to have. We open up about the Mother’s Day message that changed everything, discovering we were pregnant at the same time, becoming mums and finding our way back to one another. We also speak honestly about pregnancy, separation, solo motherhood, online judgement and the loneliness that no one warns you about. After everything that happened, this is us sitting together for one last time — ready to close the chapter on Sit With Us and begin whatever comes next. ❤️ 00:00 How We Found Our Way Back 02:18 The Message That Changed Everything 05:11 Reaching Out on Mother’s Day 06:46 Pregnant at the Same Time 10:03 The Worst Breakup We’ve Ever Had 11:58 What Losing Our Friendship Taught Us 14:40 Our Daughters Meeting for the First Time 16:31 Pregnancy, Separation & Surviving It All 24:33 The Reality of Online Judgement 30:22 The Loneliness of Motherhood 34:19 The Pressure on Women in Their 30s 37:57 Losing Yourself After Becoming a Mum 41:04 Why Friendships Don’t Always Have to End 42:58 Send the Message 43:27 A Weight Has Finally Been Lifted THE ELLA ERA: Instagram | TikTok ELLA MAY DING: Instagram | TikTok PARTNERSHIPS: klaudia@pivotalconversations.ai Learn more about your ad choices.

    What Really Happened? Sit With Us for One Last Time | Part 1

    You saw the headlines. You heard the rumours. Now, we’re finally having the conversation. Domenica Calarco joins me for Part 1 of a conversation we’ve put off for over two years. From becoming best friends on MAFS to building Sit With Us, we shared so much of our lives online. But when our podcast and friendship fell apart, there was so much we didn’t know how to explain. This is an emotional conversation about friendship, regret and what really happened behind the headlines. And if you think this is the whole story… there’s more we need to tell you. Part 2 drops this Thursday. ❤️ 00:00 The Conversation We Never Thought We’d Have 03:34 Before It All Fell Apart 14:33 The Episode That Changed Everything 18:11 The Backlash & Losing $250,000 22:14 What Was Happening Behind Closed Doors 38:19 Why Sit With Us Ended 50:10 When We Stopped Speaking 56:34 There’s More to This Story… Part 2 THE ELLA ERA: Instagram | TikTok ELLA MAY DING: Instagram | TikTok PARTNERSHIPS: klaudia@pivotalconversations.ai Learn more about your ad choices.

    Welcome back to another completely unfiltered episode of The Ella Era!

    “Sometimes the videos run off hate” OnlyFans Star, Lily Phillips on building a platform

    Welcome back to the Ella Era! In this episode, I sit down with the talk of the town: Lily Phillips, Only Fans headliner and breakout star of Stan’s brand-new hit reality docudrama, Turned On: Dirty Sexy Money. We dive headfirst into the reality TV chaos, the mental gymnastics of on-screen arguments, and why Lily actually welcomes internet trolls for her business algorithm. Plus, Lily shares the wildly bizarre behind-the-scenes details of her custom requests- including what producers made her do for that infamous "cake-sitting” scene. Finally, Lily reveals a massive personal shift in 2026: why she is returning to her faith, getting baptised, and enforcing a strict new boundary that has completely changed her content. You do not want to miss this one! If these topics aren't for you, listener discretion is strongly advised! And just a reminder... interviewing a guest on this platform is not an endorsement of their views or actions. _______________________________________________________________________ Lily socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/lilyphillip_sTIKTOK tiktok.com/@lily_phillipss My socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamaydinginstagram.com/ellaerapodcastTIKTOK tiktok.com/@emaydingWEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
