This week, Rynae sits down with one of her oldest and dearest friends, Sharnee Commins, for a conversation that is equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply honest.

From motherhood, raising three daughters, and navigating the chaos of family life, to friendship, career, pregnancy loss, and the village it takes to get through life's biggest challenges.. nothing is off limits.

It's a conversation about resilience, community, friendship, and finding joy in every season of life. Plus, a few stories from the old days, plenty of laughs, and a shared love of bubbles (and caviar).

Joining Rynae this week is Yasemin Cooper, founder of The Cooper Method, for an honest conversation about motherhood, modern wellness, mindset, and what it really means to take care of yourself as a woman.

We unpack everything from Pilates, running, nutrition, and meditation, to the realities of perimenopause, hormonal health, and learning to prioritise yourself without guilt.

Yasemin opens up about her Turkish upbringing and losing both of her parents, navigating a divorce, becoming a mother, and how those experiences shaped her approach to health and wellbeing. We explore discipline, resilience, body image, emotional healing, and the pressure women place on themselves to “do it all” while still feeling disconnected from their own needs.

They dive into the emotional side of wellness and creating habits that actually support long-term change. It’s a warm, reflective conversation about modern womanhood, finding purpose, and building a life that feels aligned, healthy, and empowering from the inside out, especially over 30.

This week, Dr Anthony Chaffee is back… and this one goes completely off the rails (in the best way). From his surprise proposal and wedding plans to Alaska adventures, dating stories, and what it’s really like living with a carnivore — we ask everything you’ve actually wanted to know.

We get into steak secrets, cheat days, Perth hangouts, and the day-to-day reality behind the lifestyle — plus the fun stuff: celebrity DMs, wild messages, and the moments that definitely don’t make it to social media.

It’s fun, chaotic, and completely unfiltered.  If you thought you knew Dr Chaffee… think again. 🍷

This week, we’re joined by Mandi J Nelson for a deep dive into energy, astrology, and the shifting world around us. We unpack the Year of the Fire Horse, lunar eclipses, and the idea that major global events may be tied to larger energetic cycles — from systems breaking down to the possibility of something new emerging in their place.

From there, the conversation turns inward. We explore intuition, past lives, and the concept of “sovereignty” — learning to trust your own inner authority and recognise thepatterns, wounds, and experiences that shape your life. Mandi shares how her work uncovers emotional imprints, childhood conditioning, and even past-life influences that may still be playing out today.

We also get personal — from family dynamics and healing the “inner child,” to the feeling of being drawn to certain places, people, or experiences without knowing why. It’s a reflective, open conversation about understanding yourself on a deeper level, and what it means to move through life with more awareness, presence, and intention.

Dr Anthony Chaffee is back — and this time, we go deeper.

We dive into women’s health, hormones, perimenopause and menopause, unpacking what’s really driving symptoms, weight gain, and hormonal shifts. From insulin and estrogen to HRT, thyroid concerns and fertility, this conversation challenges a lot of what we’ve been told — and why so many women feel like their bodies are working against them.

Then we zoom out. Kids’ nutrition, brain development, cholesterol myths, and the research that rarely makes headlines. It’s a mix of science, controversy, and big-picturethinking — covering everything from diet and disease to how modern food is shaping our health across generations.

It’s bold, thought-provoking, and guaranteed to start a few conversations. Pour a glass — this one goes there.

This week on Wiser With Wine, we sit down with Tim Buckton— the man quietly (or not so quietly) behind Fremantle’s glow-up. From boutique hotels to some of Perth’s most loved venues, Tim shares how he’s helping reshape Freo into a destination again — blending history, hospitality and a whole lot of personality.

We get into what actually makes a venue work (hint: it’s not just good food and pretty interiors), the importance of storytelling, and why creating spaces people feel something in is the real secret sauce. Plus, a behind-the-scenes look at building a hospitality group, keeping customers happy, and why reviews matter more than most people think.

It’s part business chat, part Freo appreciation, and part “how did he pull all this off?” — with plenty of laughs along the way. If you love a good venue, a good story, or just a good cocktail… this one’s for you. 🍸

Paediatric dietitian, fussy-eating specialist and founder of Mealtimes, Dr Kyla joins us for a refreshingly honest conversation about feeding kids in a world full ofconflicting advice. From food pyramids and ultra-processed panic to sugar myths and supermarket psychology, we unpack what the science actually says — and why nutrition has become so confusing for parents.

We dive into the big debates dominating parenting forums right now: baby-led weaning vs spoon feeding, whether sugar really causes kids to go wild, and the growing fear around “processed foods.” Dr Kyla explains why nutrition isn’t as black-and-white as social media makes it seem, and why balance, flexibility and context matter far more than rigid food rules.

Most importantly, we talk about the parental guilt surrounding kids’ food — and why it might be the most harmful ingredient of all. This episode is a reassuring reminder that feeding your kids doesn’t have to be perfect, and that shared meals, variety and a relaxed approach to food go a long way.

Backyard sausage sizzles, fairy bread and Pass the Parcel with one ruthless winner… or balloon arches, petting zoos and a $900 entertainer? This week we unpack how birthday parties have gone from simple to full-scale production — and whether we’recelebrating our kids… or competing with each other.

We talk party politics (invite the whole class or risk playground warfare), teen socialpressure and the “Pinterest problem,” and the adult birthday identity crisis noone admits to having. From guest-list drama to bottomless brunches andsurprise-party nightmares, nothing is safe.

Is the $400+ million kid-party industry making memories… or just making us tired? Pour a glass and join us for a very honest conversation about birthdays — then and now.
