Hello!

This Thursday, we're back with a very special Life Lessons episode. Ruby sits down with her Nana, Kay Hall!

At 80 years old, Kay has lived a life marked by love, resilience, and more wisdom than we could ever fit into one conversation. In it, she shares how grief and estrangement have shown up over the decades, and the moment she had to give up her firstborn son for adoption after unexpectedly falling pregnant at 17-years-old.

She also reflects on what it was like growing up as a young woman in the 1950s and 60s, from being forced to leave work after marriage, the moment she met her husband of 60 years, Keith Hall, and the heartache they went through after the loss of their second child at 40 weeks pregnant.

It's a really special one. We hope you enjoy this conversation between Ruby and Kay!

Hello!

Today, we're joined by the brilliant Melanie Bracewell - comedian, TV host, writer and one of the sharpest talents to come out of New Zealand. Mel first built a cult following as a teenage Tumblr text-post blogger before exploding onto the international stage in 2020 with her wildly accurate impersonations of former New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern. Since then, she's become a beloved presence across comedy and television.

In this conversation, Mel opens up about the early stages of her relationship with her fiancé Shaun, including how his short-term memory loss shaped the beginning of their connection. Mel also candidly shares the moment she decided she got an ADHD diagnosis later in life, and how it's changed the way she understands herself and her creativity.

If you’d like to support Mel, you can buy tickets to her current tour, Dilly Dallying right here!

Hello!

Today, we have an extra-special Life Lessons episode with one of Australia’s most well-recognised and formidable journalists, Lisa Wilkinson. Lisa’s career in media spans over four decades: for 10 years, she co-hosted Nine’s Today Show alongside Karl Stefanovic, before becoming a regular host on Network 10's The Project, a role she held until 2022.

In recent years, Lisa has faced public backlash, navigating a highly publicised court case. Today, she shares how her 3 Life Lessons and new book, The Titanic Story of Evelyn, have grounded her amid the scrutiny.

She also speaks about becoming the editor of Dolly Magazine at just 21, facing heartbreak in her early thirties, the moment she feared she might never have children, and how everything changed when she met her now-husband, Peter FitzSimons.

If you’d like to support Lisa, you can buy her new book The Titanic Story of Evelyn here, or at any good bookstore!

This conversation touches on themes of abuse, so please listen with care. If you or a loved one needs support, please contact 1800 RESPECT.
