Brooke Boney is best known as the entertainment reporter on Channel Nine's Today, but she's also an ambassador for The Smith Family, in part because she understands what it's like growing up as a child experiencing disadvantage in Australia. She join us on This Glorious Mess to talk about growing up in a big family with a strong mum, being a role model, and how we can support our most vulnerable kids.

Plus, our nails and fails include winter swimming lessons and Disney on Ice.
