Inherited

Hello!

Today I’m joined by Stephanie Browitt. Stephanie is a survivor of a volcanic eruption that tragically claimed the lives of her sister and her father. She experienced severe burns to 70% of her body and has since shown incredible strength throughout her recovery, documenting her journey online.

In this conversation, Stephanie reflects on her time recovering in hospital, the deeply emotional experience of saying goodbye to her dad, and the promise she made to find the strength to walk to the lectern and speak at her sister’s and father’s funeral.

She also talks about the incredible support from her mum, Marie, who, even while grieving the loss of her husband and daughter, was always there for Stephanie. This is an incredible story of resilience and a powerful reminder of the importance of family.

Hello!

A very exciting episode today! We’re joined by Rhiannon Joyce, Shameless Media’s Chief Commercial Officer.

In this conversation, Rhi opens up about her relationship with accountability and how labels can sometimes become a convenient way to justify behaviour. We explore how she shows up as a leader, the balance between leading with facts versus feelings, and why being direct can be both a strength and a challenge.

Rhi also reflects on her relationship with her husband, Lewis, why a house by the lake in Yarrawonga is her favourite place in the world, and the importance of recognising that it’s okay not just to want your partner, but to need them too.

Hello!

Today I’m joined by Matthew Johnson, better known as Matty J. Matty first rose to fame here in Australia on The Bachelorette, before stepping into the spotlight as The Bachelor. It was during this journey that he met the love of his life, Laura Byrne. Today, Matty and Laura are married with three beautiful daughters and are widely considered one of Australia’s most successful reality TV love stories.

In this conversation, Matty opens up about growing up in a big family and the strong influence of his mum. We talk about the “sliding doors” moment when he met Laura, and he shares honestly about the challenges he faced supporting her through the early stages of parenthood.

We also dive into more personal topics, including miscarriage, his close friendship with Ash from Two Doting Dads, and just how much he truly loves being a dad.

If you'd like to support Matty, head to his podcast Two Doting Dads!

Hello!

Today I’m joined by Courtney Ugle. Courtney is a proud Ballardong/Wardandi Noongar woman, the founder of Waangkiny, a passionate advocate in the domestic violence space, and a seriously talented football player.

In this conversation, Courtney shares the experiences that have shaped who she is today. She speaks about losing her dad when she was just 11, and later losing her mum to domestic violence when she was 19, and the grief, love and resilience that have followed her through those chapters of her life.

We also talk about the strength she’s built along the way, the importance of community, stories about her relationship with her partner, the footy sock ritual she just can’t shake, and the work she’s doing today to help drive meaningful change.

Hello!

Today I’m joined by British pop artist Maisie Peters. Maisie is quite literally a ray of sunshine. At just 25, she’s already supported Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, and made her debut at Glastonbury.

Maisie grew up busking on the streets of Brighton and sharing her music on YouTube. In this conversation, we talk about how she eventually signed to Ed Sheeran’s label and how important that relationship has been for her over the past few years.

Maisie also chats about collaborating with Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Dimoldenberg, choosing Benny Drama to play the heartthrob in the music video for her latest single My Regards, and how falling in love has influenced the lyricism on her new music.

If you'd like to support Maisie, head here! to pre-order her new album, Florescence.
