A Message About Milan... Jun 08, 2018

Show notes

A couple of months ago you may have heard my interview with Marilee Mai, the mother of a little girl called Milan who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer last July and who I met when I spent some time in the hospital with one of my kids at the end of last year.

Many of you have been asking for updates as to how Milan is going and it’s with a heavy heart that I wanted to let you know she passed away this week....

For Milan’s parents, Marilee and Min and for her little sister Micah and brother Major and everyone who knew and loved Milan we extend our deepest sympathies and our most heartfelt love and sorrow for her loss.

Jessica Rowe Is Not Vanilla May 27, 2018

Show notes

When self described crap housewife, journalist and presenter Jessica Rowe announced she would be leaving her job as co-host on Studio 10 to spend more time with her daughters Allegra and Giselle, people cared.

Because when high profile women lean out of their jobs, it seems like the decision is being made on behalf of all women.

So how did she know when it was time to lean out of her job and lean in to her family?

Don’t Tilt Your Head At Barry du Bois May 06, 2018

Show notes

Barry du Bois is a great bloke. Everyone who knows him will tell you that.

And even if you don't know him, he's one of those guys you see on TV and you just want to be mates with him.

So last year, when the former builder got his second cancer diagnosis and announced it on The Living Room, people had a lot of feelings.

The outpouring of support proved that people don't just love Barry, they love him hard. Which is why he’s decided he’s not going anywhere...

Two Female Comedians Walk Into A Studio Apr 29, 2018

Show notes

Mandy Nolan and Ellen Briggs are two comedians from Byron Bay who tour the country with their stand up show Women Like Us. Between them, they have seven kids.

Publicly and privately, they discuss everything from menopause, to moon cups, to being sandwiched between parents that need you and teens that need you too - even if they pretend they don’t. And because their conversations on stage have resonated so much with a group of women who society often glosses over, Mandy and Ellen have written a book, also called Women Like Us...

Constance Hall Really Is A Queen Apr 15, 2018

Show notes

In 2016 Constance Hall’s world changed forever after a Facebook post about 'parent sex' went unexpectedly, next-level viral. Constance had been sharing honest stories about raising her four kids online for years, but it was this one that kicked her into the stratosphere and made her Australia’s best known ‘Mummy Blogger.’

It’s also when things went very nuts. Hate groups were formed, but so too was a community of women who backed her, calling themselves ‘Queens’. And her private life became very, very public.

So what is it like being famous for being honest? How do you speak your truth when some people want to bring you down? And how the heck do you raise six kids with another on the way?
