TEA WITH JULES

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!

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.

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.

(Sept. 29, 2019) Tash Sefton is a fashion and online business force. Her website  Where Did Your Style Go teaches us how love clothes and how to love ourselves in them.

When she joined me on Tea with Jules, I was not expecting the conversation to take the course it did – but I couldn’t have been more happy with where we went. We got down to the real deal and talked about topics that affect us all. Social media is something I have been thinking a lot about lately and have been trying to navigate my way through feelings of overwhelm and insecurity, so I was happy when Tash opened up to share her thoughts around living her life online, and how she found her true calling after hitting rock bottom.

We talk about ageing in a ‘forever young’ industry and how Tash views this as a positive and uses it to learn and know more. Tash is at a fearless place in her life, and it shows. She is unstoppable. This is a powerful conversation and I think is an important one for all of us to hear.

Now go grab your cuppa and listen in.

Here is Tash Sefton for Tea with Jules The Podcast.

(15 Nov 2018) Liv Phyland & Teigan Nash are little rays of sunshine! They quite literally light up every room they walk into.

Both from a background in TV presenting they were moved by the stories of young people's struggles with low self-esteem, social media battles, and unhealthy lifestyles. They wanted to see a change in the next generation and decided to do something about it. They started workshops that travel all over the country called Girls Who Glow. The movement has been life-changing for teenager girls who get to meet Liv & Teigs amongst other inspiring speakers who give them advice and guidance on health and wellbeing, social media, goal setting, fitness, and choosing healthy relationships.

They are 2 friends on a mission and they share the same dream. To see people live their best lives and to be happy.

(Dec. 11, 2019) Angela Ceberano has been my friend for over a decade. We first met when my husband Guy signed to the music label BMG (later becoming Sony Music) after winning the very first Australian Idol!  Ange was his assigned publicist at the label.

The first thing I noticed about Ange was her Hollywood actress looks and her kind nature. I was very new to the world of the public eye, so anybody who showed me genuine kindness and was down to earth, I clung to! We grew closer over the years and it has been a pleasure to watch Ange blossom into the business mogul she is today.

With all her music industry and PR knowledge, she decided to start her own agency. She named it Flourish. She and her team handle huge clients on all things publicity and branding. She has also recently released her very own range of candles called Marco and Co. which she lovingly named after her beautiful horse Marco. 

As a busy entrepreneur and working woman, Ange has had her fair share of challenges. Earlier this year, her husband Phil and her went through a heart renching miscarriage. She was brave enough to share her thoughts and feelings around that in our chat. Running your own business, juggling staff, a marriage and all that goes in between has lead Ange to take some time to reflect, pause and really take head of what is important in life. Her mission is to inspire but to also encourage people to find a lifestyle that is right for them. This includes rest and doing things you love. She believes it feeds your soul and fuels your passions. I couldn’t agree more. 

This is Angela Ceberano for Tea with Jules the Podcast.

(Oct. 19, 2019) Continuing along with our brave series on Tea with Jules, I could not go past the story of my next guest.  As we sat and shared our tea, I was more and more taken with her tale of courage, determination and passion. Rabia Siddique begins her story in suburban Perth growing up as a Muslim. Her life changed forever when she became the victim of abuse and decided at a very early that she wanted to dedicate herself to helping others access justice in a way that she wasn’t able to as a little girl.

She committed herself to helping others find their voice. The law was her vehicle. After joining the British Army as a military lawyer, she served in Iraq and was sent to negotiate the release of two kidnapped British soldiers. I’ll let Rabia finish sharing what unfolded while in negotiations. It’s an edge of your seat kind of moment.

Rabia believes her higher purpose and calling is to serve people who live in parts of the world where they can’t access justice and equality is a foreign concept. What a purpose! She lives this calling out with a conviction that is rare and important for humanity.

I decided to split this episode into two parts as Rabia’s story is detailed and beautiful and I didn’t want you to miss a thing. The next episode will follow soon.

This is the epic journey of a brave woman, soldier, Muslim and mother.

To really grasp the intensity of Rabia’s life, you really have to sit and absorb this conversation. So please, make your cuppa really hot, and enjoy PART 1.

(Feb. 10, 2021) What an exciting day this is! Due to many reasons (COVID lockdowns, the world turning upside-down, writing a book, raising 2 boys and well…life!) it has been over a year since I shared a Tea with Jules episode with you all. Late last year I felt the time was right to boil the kettle again and invite people into my home to have honest, heartfelt conversations about life, love and career. 

 My first guest is my dear friend Sam Moran. He has been a children’s entertainer for 22 years, bringing joy and fun to our homes via his show ‘Play Along with Sam’ and his time as the yellow Wiggle. 

 What I love about this chat with Sam is his openness about all the stages and phases of his life so far. He talks about the power of letting things go, how smart kids really are and the level of sincerity they need from their entertainers. Sam also, opens up about his relationship with depression over the years and how important it is to deal with the ‘meh’ feeling that can creep in slowly.

 I can’t tell you how much I learn about people and about myself through these conversations. It’s not just sharing tea, it’s a ceremony of exchange – human to human. I love that we are back in the Tea with Jules saddle and that we get to experience this together.

(April 24, 2021) ‘I don’t know what’s on the other side of this, but I trust that I can pick up the pieces’

 My next guest on Tea with Jules is surfing legend and my friend from the south coast, Sally Fitzgibbons. 

 I remark this in the interview what strikes me the most about this wonderful woman, and it’s her true depth. Sally is an athlete by trade but a seeker by heart. She is in constant learning from the world around her and any conversation with her leaves you feeling uplifted and inspired. 

 Her relationship with the ocean is spiritual and you can see the profound impact it has on her life both when she is surfing it’s waves or watching on as she reads and anticipates what mother nature will do next. It’s her meditation, her connection and her power. 

 We speak about fear, permission to pause, our addiction to forward momentum and the brilliance in the ordinary. We really go there and I can honestly say, this has been one of my most favourite chats to date. 

 I can’t wait for you to tune in and see what this sun kissed, smiling slice of sunshine has to offer us. I promise you will finish wanting to either take your shoes off and find some sand, or exchange some, as Sal calls it ‘intentional energy’ with someone you love.

 Go grab a cuppa and enjoy Sally Fitzgibbons on Tea with Jules. xx
