Friends! I’m a little ball of nerves to put this poddy out there. Why? Because in this episode, I really go there. Like... right back to my $5.25 an hour Macca’s days, my short-lived jazz uni era (spoiler: I was a pop girl trying to scat), and the time I became an aerobics instructor in a lycra situation. Yes, truly.

This week on Tea with Jules, Lisa Johnston is back in the blue chair, and she somehow managed to unlock a memory vault I clearly wasn’t ready for. We talk bloating (middle-aged spread is here and she did not come quietly), bougie socks, church squads, and the full story (if you haven’t already heard it 200 times) of how I met Guy. It involves Mariah Carey, a wedding, and matching outfits. I KNOW.

There’s laughter, oversharing, and the lawyer in my head, yelling, “JULES, STOP TALKING.” But here we are. And honestly, I think there’s something in here for anyone who’s ever felt a bit not-smart-enough, not-ready-enough, or just a little bloated and bewildered by life.

Thanks for coming along for the ride. Please be kind - I’ve basically handed you my teenage diary with a cup of tea and said, “Enjoy!”

Welcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian. Here we spill the tea and learn life lessons from honest conversations with experts, celebrities and friends.

In this week’s episode of Tea With Jules, I sit down with my good friend, manager, creative right-hand gal and brutal truth-teller, Lisa Johnston. We talk about corporate life, building confidence, pushing through judgement, and what it means to truly back yourself (and your people). Lisa is bold, brilliant, and has the rare ability to see the magic in others before they see it in themselves.

With a background in media and a leadership role heading up the Social Media Virtual Experience at National Australia Bank, Lisa brings deep industry insight and a bold, creative approach to everything she does. She has travelled the world speaking at major events, sharing her expertise on social media, digital storytelling, and how to turn online engagement into genuine emotional connection. 

Her specialty lies in transforming social media from a shouting match into a
storytelling experience. Lisa works with businesses to shift their message from
selling to connecting—because people don’t just buy products; they buy feelings.
Lisa lives for branding, bold ideas, and those magic moments when everything just clicks.

If you’ve ever questioned your path or needed that one person in your corner, this
episode is for you.

Steph De Sousa—AKA The Frugal Foodie or steph_cooks_stuff on Instagram—is a passionate cook, author, mother of 4, and Instagram sensation. 

While living with her young family on the French-speaking island of Vanuatu for a short time, Steph worked as a hairdresser and makeup artist for weddings. It was here that the island taught her about buying and using fresh ingredients from local markets, eating organic, and where she developed her love of scratch cooking. 

She made her way to becoming a contestant on MasterChef, and Australia fell in love with her gorgeous personality and ability to simplify meals. Across Steph’s content, website and books, she shows us how to create simple, delicious, family-friendly meals without a lavish budget. Steph has two amazing books available—Air Fryer Queen and her new book, Easy Dinner Queen, which will have you in your own kitchens not believing how easy she makes creating food. 

Steph is like a warm hug, and you will probably get hungry during this episode...so grab snacks!

Fidan Shevket is an Accredited Family Law Specialist and Director at her firm.
Fidan is a Lawyer by day, and a TikTok sensation at all the other times. 

At the time of this recording, Fidan has a whopping 1.1 million followers on her TikTok page, where she serves up content that is so relatable, you can’t stop
watching. From making her salad lunches for her lunch break at her desk, to
sharing the family case notes she’s working on, Saturday, Platter-Day—because we "don’t f*^king cook on Saturdays"—to taking us along for her grocery shop to make spaghetti bol and nachos for her hubby and twins, Cara and Clark, to her once a year Birthday Extravaganza shopping spree—she has us all hooked and saying "don’t worry about it!" We can’t get enough. 

I wanted to chat to Fidan on Tea With Jules to dig a little deeper and see what makes Fidan unapologetically herself, and how she has built a brand I don’t think she even knew she was building. Enjoy this episode!

Welcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian. Here we spill the tea and learn life lessons from honest conversations with experts, celebrities and friends.

When I first heard Dr Hayley Watson speak at an event, I had no idea that we would
later partner up to help thousands of kids in Australia with their mental health.

Through the work of her in-school mental health program, Open Parachute, and the support of The Sebastian Foundation, we have been able to touch the lives of
thousands of kids throughout Australia. 

In this very special episode of Tea With Jules, I sit down with Dr Hayley to hear her own story with overcoming big life challenges and why that fuelled her passion to help others. She shares her entry into studying Clinical Psychology and her PhD in school bullying interventions. We cover off the work we are doing together, and she offers up some invaluable advice on helping ourselves and others through various stages of mental health.

There are some serious pearls of wisdom and take away moments through this whole chat. I came for the tea, but left with some pretty life altering perspective. I hope you enjoy the episode with Dr Hayley Watson.

Welcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian. Here we spill the tea and learn life lessons from honest conversations with experts, celebrities and friends.

After a 4 year very long tea break, Tea with Jules is BACK! Jules has dusted off the
mic, boiled the kettle, and is officially spilling the tea again.

Our first episode has been hijacked by her husband, @guysebastian, who steals
the mic and asks the questions. So yes, the guest becomes the host, and Jules gets put in the hot seat.

They are coming in hot - talking fame, friendship, trust, grief, parenthood, courage, confidence, career and gratitude. They really go there.

Thank you for being here. Missed you! Now go listen before Jules changes her mind and disappears for another four years.

Welcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian. Here we spill the tea and learn life lessons from honest conversations with experts, celebrities and friends.

(June 21, 2021) Steve Cordony is a master of interior style and life styling. What a treat to have him for my latest episode of Tea with Jules. 

I first met Steve when he waved his magic style wand over our house for a shoot we did with Belle Magazine Australia where he sits as Style Director at Large. He struck me as kind, generous with information and meticulous with his impeccable taste, and he has absolutely lived up to that first impression. 

With so many of us spending so much time at home right now, it is lovely to hear Steve talk about how he gives his home a soul. Steve shares with me how growing up he always felt that coming out, might be a risk or an unachievable dream to have his own perfect image of home life. Remaining neutral, was safer. He believes that everything happens for a reason at the right time, and with a moment of complete honesty with himself and those around him, he was released into his truest identity. Once he stepped into that, the sky has been the limit.

We talk about the secret sauce of a successful relationship, what is the soul, finding purpose and of COURSE I wouldn’t let him get away without asking him some very important home styling questions!

I loved this chat and Steve’s wonderful insight into life, love and career. He is a true gem-I hope you enjoy too. Oh, and please check out his and Michael’s current dream home renovation Rosedale Farm. It is serious #housegoals
