Ever feel like you’re the only one struggling to keep a friendship afloat?

Danielle Bayard Jackson is a friendship coach, author, and educator who has made it her mission to decode the silent, often messy world of female friendships. In this eye-opening episode, she sits down with Sarah Grynberg to share the science and stories behind what makes our connections thrive and what quietly pulls them apart.

From ghosting and jealousy to the shame of outgrowing old friends, Danielle breaks down the unspoken rules that govern who we let in, who we hold close, and who we quietly let go.

You’ll learn:

*Why some friendships end and how to know when it’s time to let them.

*The three ingredients every strong female friendship needs.

*How to make new friends as an adult (without the awkwardness).

*Why holding on “just for the history” could be hurting you more than helping.

This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder: friendship is not about obligation. It’s about energy, reciprocity, and choosing people who see you as you are and love you because of it.

Fighting for Our Friendships by Danielle Bayard Jackson is available now in all good bookstores and online here.

There are no warning bells. No calendar reminder that says: This is it, the last time. You just notice one day that your child no longer reaches for your hand. Or climbs into your lap. Or wants the story they once begged you to read every night.

In this week's Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg reflects on the invisible endings that come with raising children, the quiet ways they outgrow us, not out of malice, but momentum. These are not milestones we celebrate, but moments that linger in the heart. The ache of it lives in the ordinary. And we don’t talk about it enough.

Because while we prepare for their firsts, no one prepares us for their lasts.

You’ll learn:
*Why the hardest part of parenting isn’t the chaos, but the letting go.
*How to navigate the shifting role of parenthood with grace and strength.
*What it means to hold space when you’re no longer the centre of their world.

In this episode you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how to hold onto what matters, even as you learn to let go.

Do you ever wonder if your thoughts could be the key to your healing?

Kelly Noonan Gores is the filmmaker behind the groundbreaking documentary Heal, and in this deeply insightful conversation, she opens up about the turning points that led her from Hollywood acting to becoming a voice for the mind-body connection. But behind the science and spirituality lies a woman who has walked through fire, literally and found purpose on the other side of pain.

In this soulful exchange, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Kelly to explore how heartbreak, loss, and a house fire shaped her understanding of surrender, and why she believes our beliefs are more powerful than any diagnosis.

You’ll learn:

*Why your inner voice could be the most powerful medicine of all.
*How language, self-talk, and prayer shift your body’s biology.
*The science and mystery behind spontaneous healing.
*Why living your truth isn’t just fulfilling, it might be lifesaving.

This conversation is a reminder that healing isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering who you really are.

That post you just scrolled past? Yep, another reminder that someone else has more. More success, more sparkle, more stuff.

In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg unpacks our obsession with grandeur, from Bezos-level weddings to butler’s pantries, and asks the question few dare to voice: what are we really chasing?

You’ll learn:
*Why “more” often leaves us feeling emptier than ever.
*The quiet truth behind scarcity thinking and status anxiety.
*What a simple wooden box can teach us about living a rich life.

This isn’t an episode about minimalism. It’s a call to strip back the noise and come home to what really matters: love, connection, and the legacy of how we made people feel.

Do you ever daydream about leaving your job and turning your passion into your career?

Andy Allen went from a fourth-year apprentice electrician with no clear path to becoming one of Australia’s most beloved MasterChef winners and judges. But behind the effortless charm and foodie fame lies a story marked by unexpected pivots, personal reckoning, and the kind of loss that reshapes everything.

In this open-hearted conversation, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Andy to explore how a dare turned into a calling, how he rebuilt his identity after grief, and why he believes happiness, not fame, is the true marker of a great life.

You’ll learn:

*Why grief after the death of best friend Jock Zonfrillo changed how he lives and loves.

*What MasterChef taught him about pressure, purpose, and presence.

*The small daily habit that keeps his mental health in check.

*Why being a great husband, and future father now drives everything he does.

This conversation provides an excellent reminder that it's not about what you do, but who you become in the process.

MasterChef Australia: Back to Win continues Sunday at 7pm, and Monday to Wednesday at 7:30pm on 10 and 10 Play.

Should schools be able to punish students for things they do outside the classroom?

In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores the controversial new rule in Victoria, Australia that gives schools the power to suspend or expel students for what happens off school grounds, even online or on the weekend. Through her signature lens of reflection and heart, she asks a bigger question: Are we shaping behaviour through fear of consequence, or through the quiet cultivation of character?

You’ll learn:

*Why true values are built outside the classroom, not within it.
*How integrity shows up in unseen moments.
*The mean comment your child posts on a Friday night might feel small in the moment, but it can have lasting consequences when they walk back into school on Monday.

This episode isn’t just about school policy. It’s about what kind of people we’re helping raise and who we’re choosing to be ourselves.
