   BEYOND THE GRAM: Panic Attack, Mum-Guilt, A Day in My Life

   This week, it’s just you and me. I’m stripping it all back to talk about the reality of being a self-managed working mum.

Plus, I answer your most-asked questions: Why did I stop breastfeeding? Is screen time actually a "no-go" for Pia? And how am I really doing with the post-baby relationship juggle?

   “Manhood is Hard to Attain, Easy to Lose”: Luke Bateman on the $1M Rock Bottom and Finding His Way Out

   This week’s guest is perhaps the most perfectly fitted to a show about ‘eras’ ever. From the high-pressure stadium lights of the NRL to the rose ceremonies of The Bachelor, to Book-Toker, podcaster and most recently, a top-three finish in the jungle, Luke Bateman has lived many lives. But beneath the "Alpha" athlete exterior, Luke was a boy who hid his love for fantasy novels in locker room toilets and a man who fought a debilitating, million-dollar gambling addiction. Luke shares how he overcame all of that and the path he’s now on.…

   MAFS Chris Tells All: Getting married four days after the call and ALL the unshown footage

   In this explosive episode, MAFS Chris joins me to peel back the curtain on what wasn't shown that went down between him and Sam.

   Are peptides killing passion? Understanding peptides with naturopath, Lucas Aoun

   This week I’m talking peptides again. I promised I would get a peptide ‘guru’ to explain more about them. I’m joined by certified naturopath and biohacking expert Lucas Aoun (founder of Ergogenic Health) to pull back the curtain on the industry. While influencers and celebrities are "glowing" on camera, Lucas reveals the good, bad and the interesting about the many trending peptides we’re hearing about online. We move beyond the TGA warnings to discuss the science of human optimization. ________________________________________________________________ HIS SOCIALS INSTA…

   We Never Thought We’d Speak Again | Part 2

   You heard how it all fell apart. Now, we’re talking about what brought us back together. Domenica Calarco joins me for Part 2 — and the final chapter — of the conversation we’ve waited over two years to have.

We also speak honestly about pregnancy, separation, solo motherhood, online judgement and the loneliness that no one warns you about. After everything that happened, this is us sitting together for one last time — ready…

    You saw the headlines. You heard the rumours. Now, we’re finally having the conversation. Domenica Calarco joins me for Part 1 of a conversation we’ve put off for over two years.
