Lisa Wilkinson has lived most of her life in the public eye.

At age just 21 she became editor of DOLLY magazine, before going on to edit CLEO magazine and later becoming a longtime co-host of the TODAY show with Karl Stefanovic.

Now co-host of The Project and with a new autobiography in bookstores, Wilkinson remains at the top of her game. 

In this chat with Jamila Rizvi she spoke about television, feminism, working hard and making it to the top. 

Lisa's memoir It Wasn't Meant to Be Like This is available in all good bookstores.
