Melinda Willis was a part of the cast of Season 10 of Married at First Sight Australia where she found love with her now partner Layton.  But Mel is also a CEO and an entrepreneur running two businesses before she left to find love on reality TV.  Mel and Yvie chat about Mel's upbringing and her attitude towards the experiment was influenced by her 3 brothers.  Plus Mel thought she'd be the villain on her season for speaking the truth, and her feeling that Harrison's edit was actually a good one.  And how social media played a part in her imposter syndrome.  Stay tuned for Part 2 which will drop next week where Mel will be telling her side of the story on what really happened at the Logies.  LINKS Yvie Jones @yvie_jones Melinda Willis @melindarichelle Nova Podcasts Instagram @novapodcastsofficial Email us at [email protected] CREDITSHost: Yvie Jones Guest: Melinda Willis Executive Producer: Rachael Hart Editor: Adrian Walton Supervising Producer: Ricardo Bardon Show Artwork By: @ellymalone Find more great podcasts like this at novapodcasts.com.au Nova Entertainment acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we recorded this podcast, Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

Comedian and actor Nikki Britton stops by to chat with Yvie (AKA Oprah) this week, and yes they end in tears talking about their dogs... but they're only human right?  Nikki shares how she's still learning from younger Gen Z women in the industry when it comes to self confidence and also what words of wisdom she would give her 20 year old self.  Plus, how did she get into comedy, what typecasting she's experienced in her career and also how does she handle relationships, dating and the prospect of having kids at 40.   Lastly, Yvie + Nikki speak about their saviours and their fur children.. Their dogs. And yes it does get emotional - we love it.  LINKS Yvie Jones @yvie_jones Nikki Britton @thenikkibritton For tickets to see Nikki head here: https://comedy.com.au/tour/nikki-britton-getting-out-in-front-of-it/  Nova Podcasts Instagram @novapodcastsofficial Email us at [email protected] CREDITSHost: Yvie Jones Guest: Nikki Britton Executive Producer: Rachael Hart Editor: Adrian Walton Supervising Producer: Ricardo Bardon Show Artwork By: @ellymalone Find more great podcasts like this at novapodcasts.com.au Nova Entertainment acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we recorded this podcast, Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.
