This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter.

You might know Poh Ling Yeow as an artist, a chef and a regular fixture on television ever since she was first introduced to Australia on MasterChef. But that’s just the public side of Poh.

The version you see is only part of her truth; behind it lies a layered, often painful journey. 

In this conversation Poh opens up about her years spent in the church before walking away from it, which left her untangling years of belief and identity. 

She shares the profound grief she has experienced with the loss of her mother, and as well as the heartbreak of two marriage breakdowns and how those moments led to loneliness, questioning and rebuilding. 

But through it all, she’s discovered something quite extraordinary: an ability to find beauty in the sorrow, light in the mess, and humour in the most unexpected places.

This is a No Filter conversation about identity, resilience, creativity, and what it means to truly move on and start over. 

You can watch Poh on this season of MasterChef on Network 10 and you can follow her here:
