Inherited

Hi!!

Welcome to our new three-part series, Love Stories.

Every Thursday for the next three weeks, I’ll sit down with a guest who tells me about their love story.

Today, I’m joined by Tully Smyth and her partner, Ned Rohrt.

Tully is a familiar and much-loved voice in Australia’s digital media space. She first captured the nation’s attention in 2010 when she entered the Big Brother house, and since then has built a deeply personal career as a writer and online creator. Over the years, Tully has shared her life with honesty and heart, opening up about love and heartbreak, the devastating loss of her beautiful mum, and her journey through egg freezing, creating a community that has grown alongside her.

Ned first came across Tully on the dating apps, but it wasn’t until a second swipe, two years later, that their story really began. From that moment on, everything clicked.

Now, Tully and Ned are stepping into their biggest chapter yet, as they prepare to welcome their first baby in July 2026.

Hello!

Today I speak to Fergus Neal. Fergus is a comedian, writer & the co-host of his podcast On it Off It with Louis Phillip, and he’s just about to tour his latest show Boy, across Australia. 

In this conversation, Fergus talks about his creative rituals, and how he’s managed anxiety and panic attacks since his early twenties. He reflects on his journey into comedy, how he feels about commenting on topical political issues online, about the concept behind Boy, and why he’s chosen to highlight modern masculinity, and the manosphere through comedy.

Hi!!

Welcome to our new three-part series, Love Stories.

Every Thursday for the next three weeks, I’ll sit down with a guest who tells me about their love story.

Today, I sit down with Phoebe Simmonds, co-founder of The Memo, to share her personal love story with husband Shaun Caton.

In her mid-30s, single and career-focused, Phoebe was dating with intention when she met Shaun. Shaun was navigating life after the devastating loss of his former partner, Sam, and Phoebe stepped into their world with patience and care, embracing co-parenting Shaun’s young son, Tyler. With a strong desire to have children of her own, Phoebe and Shaun went on to grow their blended family, welcoming their son Remy.

Phoebe’s journey to motherhood might not have been what she expected, but it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences yet, and she’s been so grateful to have Shaun, who is no stranger to parenting, right by her side.

Hello!

Today, I’m joined by Roísín Tarrant. Roísín has built a loyal and engaged online community under her Instagram and TikTok handle, @geebungalow, where she generously shares the ins and outs of her career and motherhood journey. Late last year, she added another string to her bow with the launch of her kidswear brand, By Gee The Label.

In this conversation, Roísín reflects on the steady process of building her online profile alongside her now-husband Zac, and the deep personal challenges they’ve faced together, including infertility and pregnancy loss. She speaks candidly about resilience, partnership, and what it means to keep showing up when life doesn’t go to plan.

Roisin also opens up about the juggle of parenting three children under three, the boundaries she’s intentionally set around sharing her children online, and how her own difficult childhood has shaped the way she wants to parent.

Hello!

Today, we speak to lawyer-turned-entrepreneur, Sarah Davidson. After quitting her job in law, Sarah and her now-husband, Nic, created their wildly successful brand together, Matcha Maiden. Since then, Sarah has propelled herself into a huge social media career and more recently, embarked on her motherhood journey when she welcomed her son Teddy into the world.

In this conversation, Sarah speaks about the leap she took when she decided to quit her full-time job in corporate law, why meeting people where they are takes away the friction in relationships, and how being adopted when she was five months old shifted her perspective on motherhood.
