Real Talk

Australian Diamond and Queensland Firebirds star Gretel Bueta burst onto the netball scene known for her famous layup and unorthodox playing style. The 28 year old has returned to the International stage after giving birth to beautiful Bobby and her story attracted plenty of headlines at the Netball Quad Series - for all the right reasons!

As the new mum navigates her way back into elite sport with her sights set on the Commonwealth Games, Gretel talks about her journey and has an inspiring message for others.

Real Talk is back with a bang or in this case, Millie Boyle! The Australian, NSW and Broncos forward found herself in the headlines last year, but Katie caught up with the country girl ahead of her SAS Australia debut and return to the NRLW season. The pair discuss Millie's passion for helping people of all abilities, how we can work towards equality in sport and of course the infamous toilet kiss with her now boyfriend Adam Elliott.

Deb Lee has done it all. On and off the footy field. And in 2021 the 304 gamer became the first WOMAN inducted into AFL's Hall of Fame.

Many people including myself see Deb as a superhero - a game changer - but under that cape there's a woman who denied her identity until recently.

Big thank you to Deb for her inspiring conversation and there will be a part two in 2022!

She speaks and instantly you smile and want to support.

Abbie is only 11 years old, but don't let her age fool you. The Sydney-based editor and young athlete is wise beyond her years and within a month has created 'Her Way', a magazine promoting women's sports. Yes, she's a game changer.

Holly Hazlewood was living two half lives. Man during the week, woman on the weekend. But finally Holly addressed the continuous 'silent screaming' and is now fulfilling a life, lie free. Incredibly moving story that Real Talk hopes could help someone else who is suffering in silence.

Imagine being told you can't go home and then every day after that anxiously waiting to find out when you might be able to go home... That's the reality for 7 Newcastle Knights and 1 Gold Coast Titan currently stranded in Australia. The treatment of these NRLW players is becoming increasingly worse and unfortunately the head office isn't doing enough to fix it.

FACT OR CAP? NRLW drama continues, Parramatta Eels recruit and New South Wales forward Kennedy Cherrington joined me for a Q & A to inform and educate... and of course brought her A grade attitude!

Wrap your head around what is happening in Australia's elite women's rugby league competition.

Australian, Queensland and Brisbane Broncos Captain Ali Brigginshaw joins former Australian Jillaroo now commentator Allana Ferguson and myself communicate what has unfolded in the NRLW.

The lack of communication and respect from the Australian Rugby League Commission and NRL have left more than 200 women frustrated, helpless and disappointed.

We have loved your continued support and please continue to spread the message and share with your friends and family.

MSCL UP. Remember the brand and let me introduce you to Maddy Richie. A proud Gamilaroi woman, she's an entrepreneur, a registered nurse, artist, fiancé and mother. Maddy and her partner Asher created MSCL UP with a vision of combing fitness, health, education and a hope of giving back to the community. Let me tell you, they're certainly doing that! Maddy's journey is a great reminder that even when you think you can't, you can.

If you want to meet a woman creating a positive influence on a developing nation... look no further than PNG Orchids Captain Elsie Albert. Female footy numbers have incredibly tripled in ONE year, following the 25-year-old's NRLW debut in 2020. And it doesn't end there, this proud St George Illawarra Dragon believes the mindset of men in Papua New Guinea is changing with more respect to the ladies playing league.
