Whether you ARE a parent or know a parent, this common sense approach will give guidance. This week, renowned Pediatrician and author, Dr. Golly pulls back the curtain on how to manage some of the trickiest parts of parenting by leaning into biological truths of human development. 

From debunking viral "regression" myths to explaining why we were never meant to raise children in isolation, this is essential listening for everyone. What if the hardest parts of raising a child aren't actually "natural" but a result of how we live today?

A bonus episode for your weekend! I am joined by current MAFS bride, Julia Vogl, for a conversation that is as unfiltered as it gets. Julia isn't holding back as she breaks down the "blatant lies" shown on screen, including what really happened with that infamous anniversary letter.

Julia also opens up about Grayson's "hot-headed" and "abrasive" behaviour that was left on the cutting room floor and why she feels her character was "obliterated" and why the show’s portrayal of her sexuality was "misunderstood".

This week we are joined by the unfiltered fan-fave Jamie Marinos to unpack the time that has passed since her season of MAFS, what she’s been up to and her plans for the future. 

We’re diving deep into the headlines, from the shocking off-camera language used by Clint to the trauma-bond romance with Elliot. She pulls back the curtain on the "blindside" that fooled everyone, plus, Jamie addresses those viral photos with Farmer Luke. 

From surviving the "corporate hustle" to her upcoming move to Athens, Jamie proves why she’s still the most authentic voice in the experiment.

This week we are joined by the absolute powerhouse that is Abbey Holmes. I sat down with her the week before footy was back to chat about the juggle of being a sports broadcasting icon and a new mum. I asked her about the backlash she got last year coming back to work (and the support) and about THAT kiss on the cheek with Lachie Neale.
This episode is for anyone trying to find their balance, chase their version of greatness, and ignore the noise along the way.

Fresh off his departure from Season 13 of Married at First Sight, Luke Fourniotis joins the podcast to share his raw and honest experience from the experiment. Just 24 hours after his final episode aired, Luke reflects on the relief of it being over and the difficulty of watching the season back - from seeing  the things said behind his back

From nursing on the frontlines to commanding an audience of 1.3 million on TikTok, Aimee Connor (aka Aims) joins the Ella Era for a raw, unfiltered deep dive into the "chaos" of her life. She opens up about the dark side of digital fame- speaking on the terrifying cyber-bullying that led to panic attacks, therapy, and calls to Lifeline. 

But that’s just one layer. Aims shares her incredible 13-year journey of sobriety, walking us through the "rock bottom" rehab moments that eventually paved the way for her beautiful family of six. Plus, she gets real about the emotional rollercoaster of her daughter's autism diagnosis and why she made the controversial choice to share it with the world.

I have MAFS royalty in the studio this morning to recap the explosive MAFS episode that aired last night. Last season's brides, Rhi Disljenkovic & Jamie Marinos speak on how disgusted they were seeing the behaviour of some of the cast last night and the action they think the industry needs to take against them.

We’re talking body trends, peptides 💉, and the messy return of “skinny culture.” I’m getting real about my experience biohacking with peptides, why influencers aren’t talking about their usage and how “Skinny Tok” is affecting us all.

I’m joined by Dr. Brad McKay (yep, from Embarrassing Bodies. He is also an experienced GP, science communicator, and author) to break down what peptides are, why people are buying them online and why they aren’t approved yet 🤯.

It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s the trend everyone is scared to talk about right now ✨.
