MY GUEST THIS WEEK: DELTA GOODREM

This week, I’m joined by singer, songwriter, and Australian icon Delta Goodrem—whose career began in her teens, soared with chart-topping hits, and then took a shocking turn. Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at just 18, Delta was forced to step away from the spotlight just as her music was going global.

We talk about what it’s like to lose your voice—literally. In her thirties, Delta underwent surgery that left her unable to speak, let alone sing, forcing her to re-learn how to communicate. We talk about the strength it takes to survive something like that not once, but twice—and how both of those moments reshaped her sense of self.

She tells me about the viral Beyoncé concert clip that turned her into a meme—and why it ended up being one of the most liberating moments of her life.

Welcome to The Life of YOU — the bonus series where we tackle your dilemmas and share advice to navigate life’s messier moments.

This week, I’m joined again by presenter, author and podcast queen Vogue Williams, whose latest book Big Mouth is a tribute to living unapologetically, surviving chaos, and saying the things others are too afraid to.

Together we answer your questions about being labelled ‘too much’, dealing with mum guilt, and why trying to ‘have it all’ is a myth women are still burdened with. Vogue talks about what it means to grow up loud, feel shame for taking up space, and how to let go of the people who make you feel small.

We also share how many unread WhatsApps we each have, which is a lot.

Today:

💬 Tanya asks how to stop apologising for being “too much” 🍼 Jade wants help managing the constant guilt of single motherhood and feeling like she’s always failing

MY GUEST THIS WEEK: VOGUE WILLIAMS

This week, I’m joined by podcast royalty Vogue Williams—broadcaster, writer, and co-host of My Therapist Ghosted Me—whose hilarious new memoir Big Mouth is packed with outrageous stories, unflinching honesty, and the kind of emotional truth that sneaks up on you.

We talk about growing up in 90s Ireland, why Irish funerals are unexpectedly joyful, and how Vogue’s chaotic first wedding helped her realise what she really wanted in a partner. She opens up about the long illness and death of her beloved father, the anxiety that followed, and how writing became the only thing that quieted her mind.

Vogue also shares what it’s like navigating fame, gossip, and mum-life while trying to stay grounded—and why she’ll always keep beta blockers in the bathroom cupboard, just in case.

If you’ve ever struggled with grief, anxiety, or just trying to hold everything together while making people laugh, Vogue’s mix of humour and honesty will speak to you.
