Glennon Doyle on body image, resilience - and that Ivanka Trump post
When Glennon Doyle was diagnosed with anorexia in her 40s, her wife Abby was grieving the sudden death of her brother, and her sister Amanda had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a year that brought all three of them to their knees — and became the unlikely foundation for their new book, We Can Do Hard Things. In this episode, Glennon opens up about what it means to keep showing up when the people you usually rely on are struggling, too. We talk about the power of friendship, the myth of having it all together, and the moment Glennon stopped hiding her illness — even on the red carpet. She reflects on visibility, activism, and why the most honest people often feel like the biggest messes. And for the first time, Glennon reveals how she felt when she saw Ivanka Trump holding a copy of her book Untamed in an Instagram post. Raw, wise and unexpectedly funny – just like this conversation is a reminder that none of us are doing this alone. Glennon’s new book We Can Do Hard Things is available here.

Six months on, axed Today star Alex Cullen is ready to talk
This week, Sarrah sits down with Alex Cullen for his first interview since the controversial “Lambo guy” incident that resulted in his departure from Today and Nine Network — as he exclusively reveals his plans for the future. In January, after he took up an offer from Melbourne-based billionaire Adrian Portelli, Alex found himself in the middle of a media storm that sparked national headlines. Now, in a raw and reflective conversation, he opens up about the personal and professional fallout, the toll it took on his mental health, and how close he came to walking away from the industry altogether. He talks about starting over — with a big move to Melbourne for him and his family, a new radio role on The Christian O’Connell Show, and in a Stellar exclusive, the announcement of his return to TV with Seven News. This is a story about public fallout, private resilience, and what it takes to start again… when the whole country is watching. Alex begins tomorrow on The Christian O'Connell Show weekdays from 6am and weeknights from 7PM on GOLD104.3 Watch the full episode with Alex here.

Everyone knew Laura Byrne was pregnant… except Matty J
It’s easy to be sceptical about reality TV romances. But sometimes, they just work. Take Laura Byrne and Matty J, who met and fell in love on The Bachelor Australia in 2017 – and are now one of the country’s most popular couples. In this episode of Something To Talk About, Laura and Matty sit down just weeks out from welcoming their third child to discuss – with humour, honesty and, yes, a bit of exhaustion – how they are revamping traditional gender roles as they raise their young family.Laura explains what it’s like being the primary breadwinner, and Matty opens up about modern fatherhood and – with a third daughter on the way – the reality that he may never raise the son he always envisaged he would have. From baby name slip-ups to beach house renos, this is a surprisingly moving conversation with two people who are doing marriage and family their own way. Hear more from Laura on her podcast Life Uncut, and Matty J on his podcast Two Doting Dads, wherever you get your podcasts Watch the full episode with Laura Byrne and Matty J here.
