    From "Hard No" to Standing Ovation: Archie Sebastian's Journey to the Stage with Guy

    Jules Sebastian is back! A new room, new era, and the story she's been waiting to tell. In this first episode of a brand new chapter of Tea with Jules, Jules sits down with her manager and friend Lisa Johnson to finally speak openly and honestly about one of the biggest moments of her family's year: her son Archie joining his father Guy Sebastian on tour and the extraordinary journey that led to a standing ovation in a packed arena. Jules shares what it felt like to watch Archie's talent quietly develop over years. The emotional weight of playing that unfinished song to her father in hospital. The conversations that convinced Archie to say yes. The moment she came outside herself, watching him on the big screen. And the pride in Archie, in Hudson, in Guy, and in this season of life as a family. This is also an episode about what tour life really looks like from the inside: the unseen stamina of an artist like Guy, the joy of bringing kids to the Brisbane Children's Hospital. Jules also reflects on what this podcast means to her personally, why she made it, what it's given her, and where it's going next. Pour yourself some tea, let's begin!

    Jules & Lisa Couch Catch-Up: Just Getting on With It! Trying to Keep Up Habits & Resetting After Routine Disruption

    This week’s episode is a real-time life update. School term is back, routines are out the window, the gym schedule has collapsed, the Coke Zero is flowing and the lawyer in Jules head has taken up permanent residence. If you’ve ever gone from “I am thriving” to “I am unravelling” in the space of two weeks - this one’s for you.  Lisa and I talk honestly about what happens when your carefully built habits get disrupted, how hormonal weeks can make everything feel heavier than it actually is, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is surrender instead of spiral. There’s crying. There’s chips. There’s Beyoncé. There’s a saxophone wedding story that will wreck you in the best way. If you’ve been feeling off-kilter, emotional, stretched or like you’ve let yourself down you haven’t. You’re human. And you’re not alone. Hit follow if you’re loving Tea with Jules - your support means the world. Let’s keep trying to life together.

    Jules & Lisa Couch Catch-Up: Letting Your Kids Be Who They Are, Parental Growth, & School Stories

    In this episode of Tea with Jules, Jules is joined by Lisa Johnston for a very honest, very relatable conversation about the emotional whiplash of school returning. Routines, exhaustion, expectations, and the quiet pressure parents put on themselves (and their kids) without even realising it. There’s laughter, vulnerability, a few parenting confessions that may sting a little, and plenty of moments where you’ll think, oh wow.. that’s me.  This episode is for anyone who’s navigating school drop-offs, parenting guilt, changing seasons of family life, or trying to learn how to guide their kids without controlling them. Because sometimes the hardest part of parenting is learning when to hold on and when to let go.
