    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.

    What's Really Going On Inside Your Brain? How Social Media, AI, & Modern Life Is Reshaping Us - Dr Lila Landowski (Leading Neuroscientist)

    In this episode of Tea with Jules, Jules sits down with one of Australia’s leading neuroscientists, Dr Lila Landowski, for a fascinating, eye-opening conversation about what’s really going on inside our brains - and how modern life, social media, habits, multitasking, and AI are quietly reshaping the way we think, feel, focus, and connect. If you’ve ever wondered why your attention feels scattered, why habits are so hard to stick to, or why scrolling leaves you exhausted but oddly unsatisfied - this episode will make you feel deeply seen (and a lot more informed). Together, Jules and Lila break down complex brain science into practical, relatable moments. What you'll learn in this episode: Why your brain craves shortcuts and how habits are actually formed at  neurological levelThe real reason motivation drops off when there’s no immediate rewardHow dopamine works as both a reward and a habit-builderWhy multitasking feels productive but is actually draining your brain’s energyHow social media is designed to fragment attention and keep you scrollingWhy face-to-face connection gives us brain chemicals that texting never canWhat boredom actually does for creativity (and why kids need it)How exercise, silence, and green space physically improve brain healthWhy AI worries neuroscientists and how to use it without outsourcing your thinkingWhat happens to the brain as we age (and how to protect it)The powerful science of belief effects and how mindset literally changes physiologyDisclaimer: This podcast episode is intended for general information and personal reflection only.

    Welcome back, Tea-mates and welcome to the very first episode of Tea with Jules for 2026!

    Preparing Your Child To Meet Difference With Empathy - Sean Szeps On Identity, Finding Acceptance, Otherness, & More

    In this deeply moving and powerfully honest episode of Tea with Jules, Jules sits down with writer, speaker, content creator, podcast host, and fierce LGBTQIA+ advocate Sean Szeps.  What begins as a conversation about parenting quickly expands into something much bigger: identity, belonging, empathy, religion, raising kind humans, finding love, rewriting the script of your life, and the courage it takes to live as your truest self. Sean shares his extraordinary journey - from growing up in a deeply religious community in the U.S., to navigating his sexuality alone as a child, to eventually coming out and finding acceptance, love, marriage, and fatherhood. He opens up about internalised shame, choosing between two impossible futures, the moment the world shifted and parenthood became a real possibility, and the emotional rollercoaster of raising twins through surrogacy. Jules and Sean dive into otherness - the feeling of being different and how every one of us, regardless of sexuality, gender, or background, has experienced moments of being the “only one in the room.” Together they explore how parents can prepare children to meet difference with empathy, curiosity, and compassion. This episode is emotional, uplifting, raw, hilarious, and full of wisdom, the kind that deepens your understanding of yourself and the world around you.  Tea-mates buckle up. We go there.
