Majella Hay is undoubtedly one of the most powerful women in Australian television.

She’s the Director of Content, Unscripted at the Seven Network, which means She’s the driving force behind shows like My Kitchen Rules, Australian Idol and Farmer Wants a Wife.

But in this conversation, Majella doesn’t just talk formats and ratings. 

She opens up about balance, about what it means to carry both a huge slate of TV and the everyday realities of being a mum. 

From the lessons she learned chasing con men down the street in high heels, to how she reframes that all-too-familiar ‘mum guilt,’ this is a candid look at the woman shaping what millions of Australians watch every week.
