The Pressure To Be Extraordinary In Your 20s. With Jemma Sbeg
22/07/2026 | 47 mins.
Have we accidentally created an impossible definition of success?
This week, Sarah is joined by Jemma Sbeg, host of The Psychology of Your 20s, one of the world's biggest podcasts, now adapted for Netflix - to unpack the pressure so many of us feel to achieve something extraordinary before 30.
Together they explore the psychology behind comparison, burnout, perfectionism, quarter-life crises, social media's impact on ambition, and why the finish line for success always seems to move. If you've ever felt behind despite loving your life, this conversation is for you.

What Does A Pop Stars Wellness Routine Look Like? With Kita Alexander
15/07/2026 | 38 mins.
This week, Sarah is joined by pop star Kita Alexander. ARIA-nominated, a collaborator of Fisher, started out with Dua Lipa (who she opened for on the Radical Optimism tour), Kita has just released her new album, Rage, which she will be touring this year!
Together, they chat about her wellness routine, fitness habits, anxieties, and the role meditation plays in navigating both everyday life and major career moments. Then, inspired by her new album, they unpack the idea of rage: what happens when you stop worrying about being "the nice girl", why so many women struggle to express anger, and whether it's possible to be both soft and grounded while moving through difficult emotions.

Taylor Swift's MSG Wedding, Dua Lipa Library & Karlie Kloss
07/07/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
The Taylor Swift Wedding has happened. It's the biggest pop culture story of the year (probably) and we have plenty to unpack. We chat about the venue, Adam Sandler officiating, performances, the extensive (and yes, controversial) guest list, the raffle, the impact on NYC citizens and the comparisons to Bezo's.
Next up, Karl Stefanovic has now also been axed by ARN as well. He opens up about that while interviewing Piers Morgan on a yacht.
Dua Lipa opens a library in one of Europe's most famous, beautiful bookshops. The library is a permanent collection of hotly debated or banned books.
We then talk through the tragic murder of a teenage girl in Thailand at the hands of an Australian man.
Finally, we unpack supermodel Karlie Kloss recent PR moves, opening up about her marriage to a Kushner and becoming a media mogul.
Then of course, we had to mention the Prime Minister playing a game of shag, marry, date.
