Australia’s biggest beauty mogul, Shelley  Sullivan, has built three powerhouse businesses from the ground up. At just 21, she launched a boutique modelling agency. While working with models, Shelley spotted beauty fails like DIY lash-curling burns and patchy self‑tans – which led to her first beauty innovation: a heated lash curler, then “tan‑in‑a‑can”, and the birth of her first brand, ModelCo.

In 2016, Shelley targeted another gap: luxe-looking beauty at mass-market prices. MCoBeauty launched with 12 products, scaled to hundreds, and earlier this year was sold in a deal valuing the company at  $1 billion.

In this episode of Something To Talk About, Shelley opens up about building – and exiting – a billion-dollar beauty empire, trusting her instincts amid doubt, and life after the headlines.

This week on Something To Talk About, Laura Henshaw joins Sarrah Le Marquand for a powerful and deeply personal conversation, as she celebrates and talks about her just-announced pregnancy. It was, as Laura says, “a complete shock” that came after a year of questioning whether motherhood was even right for her. 

Today, Laura reflects on the fears she worked through as she grappled with whether becoming a parent would mean losing her sense of identity, the emotional moment she shared the news with her business partner Steph Claire Smith, and the unsolicited commentary she’s received about her body along the way. Plus, Laura speaks out on the rise of “manosphere” content online and why she felt compelled to challenge a podcaster who she believes was promoting outdated gender roles – a decision that would take her viral and spark a national conversation. 

Laura also discusses her new KicPod miniseries Am I Equal?, which explores the importance of informed conversations about finances, power, and partnership in modern relationships.

Being investigated by the Australian Electoral Commission was not on Abbie Chatfield’s bingo card for 2025. But after interviewing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and then Greens leader Adam Bandt on her podcast It’s A Lot, Abbie found herself at the centre of several conversations about the recent federal election campaign. In fact, some days it seemed there were more headlines written about Abbie than there were about Anthony Albanese or Peter Dutton.  

Today, Abbie sits down with Sarrah in the Something To Talk About studio to unpack her decision to speak out about politics – and the double standards at play when it’s a young, famous woman who dares to do so. She also talks about life and love as she prepares to turn 30, what it’s like to be in the middle of a very public feud, and whether or not we might see her mum on The Golden Bachelor…

Sarah Roberts has been through more than most people in the last five years. The actor and DJ lost her brother in 2019, grappled with infertility and pregnancy loss and last year, ended her marriage to her former Home And Away co-star James Stewart.

In this exclusive conversation, Sarah joins us in the Something To Talk About studio to discuss what her life looks like now, reveal that she has found love again, and discuss how appearing in Make It Look Real, a new documentary about the rise of intimacy coordinators on film and television sets, taught her how to finally set boundaries — and in the process, changed her life for the better.

The disappearance of three-year-old William Tyrrell - the little boy in the Spider-Man suit who vanished from his foster grandmother’s garden - is a case that shocked the nation, destroyed lives and ended careers. More than 10 years later, we still don’t have answers. 

Award-winning journalists Dan Box and Nina Young have been covering the story since William first went missing in September 2014. Late last year, they released the investigative podcast Witness: William Tyrrell, which went straight to the top of the charts and has since had millions of downloads.

Now, after months of research, being back on the road and speaking to people involved in the case, four new episodes are about to be released revealing shocking information that’s never been heard before. 

In this episode of Something To Talk About, Dan and Nina join Sarrah in the studio to share the reality of what it was like to create the series, the personal toll of investigating true crime - and what they’ve uncovered along the way.

 

Listen to the four new episodes of Witness: William Tyrrell, out this week.

The conversation around restricting social media for children has been one of the biggest hot-button issues of the year – but Candice and David Warner have a very different view.

In today’s episode, Candice reveals why the high-profile couple decided to open an Instagram account for their daughters (Ivy, 10, Indi, 9, and Isla, 5) called The Warner Sisters, which at the time of recording has almost 200,000 followers.

In a candid back-and-forth with Sarrah, Candice explains why she believes it’s her responsibility as a parent to embrace social media in a positive way, her approach to building resilience in children, how she became immune to trolling – and the secret to her 10-year marriage to David.

When Mamamia co-founder Mia Freedman first hired Jessie Stephens to write for her, she had no idea she had also just hired her eldest son's future wife, and the mother of her first grandchild.

That was 10 years ago. Since then, Mia and Jessie have gone on to sit opposite each other as two of the co-hosts of the Mamamia Out Loud podcast and have recently wrapped production on the second season of Strife, the TV drama loosely based on Mia’s memoir, on which Jessie worked as a co-producer and writer and Mia as an executive producer. 

The mother and daughter-in-law duo sat down with Sarrah in the Something To Talk About studio for their first-ever interview together to talk all things work and family - and whether truth really is stranger than fiction. 

Strife season two will premiere on BINGE May 8.
