In this deeply honest and emotional episode of Let’s Be Real, I sit down with fitness coach, entrepreneur and mum of five, Chontel Duncan.

From building a successful fitness empire with her high school sweetheart to raising five young children in a loud, love-filled home, Chontel shares what life really looks like behind the social media highlight reel.

She also recounts the terrifying moment she found her two-year-old son at the bottom of their backyard pool and how instinct, CPR training and staying calm under pressure ultimately saved his life.

But there's so much more to Chontel's story, and she'll be back for part two in the next episode.

If you're like me, you probably got a bottle of Who Is Elijah in your purse, but the story behind the brand is as amazing as the fragrance itself. Raquel Bouris was working a 9-5 corporate job when she stumbled across this phenomenal scent, and decided to build a business around it. She's gone from bottling in her lounge room to a million-dollar global brand. 

This week, Raquel reveals to me exactly what it took to make the business a success while juggling being a mum, the truth about working with her husband on a daily basis, her lessons in personal and business failure, and her thoughts on whether women can have it all.
