    Lisa Wilkinson On Life After TV, Legal Battles & The Story She Had To Tell

    13/04/2026 | 20 mins.
    If you grew up with Dolly magazine, woke up with Today, or unwound with The Project, Lisa Wilkinson has likely been the voice in the room for most of your life. After one of the most turbulent chapters of her career and a high-profile legal battle, Lisa has stepped away from the cameras to uncover a story lost to time.
    We’re sitting down with the media veteran to discuss her new book, The Titanic Story of Evelyn, which follows the extraordinary life of Evelyn Marsden; the only Australian-born survivor of the Titanic. Lisa reveals how she pieced together this '10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle' to tell a tale of heroism through a female lens.
    Plus, Lisa opens up about her 'new chapter' after television, the reality of 'rowing against the tide' in the Australian media landscape, and whether she’s got another big story under her hat.

    HEADLINES: Australia Won’t Join Hormuz Blockade & Britney Spears Enters Rehab

    13/04/2026 | 2 mins.
    🗞️ HEADLINES
    Australia will not join the United States' efforts to blockade the Strait of Hormuz with the federal government warning the move could put global trade in a "very difficult" position.

    A woman will lead the Australian Army for the first time, with Susan Coyle named the next chief.

    More than a quarter of young Australians are turning to artificial intelligence to support their mental health, as the cost of professional help continues to rise.

    Britney Spears has checked into a treatment facility following her DUI arrest last month.

    As Donald Trump announces a US Navy blockade on one of the world's most vital fuel routes after failed talks with Iran, we look at what this means for global stability; including the plans of Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese this week.
    Plus, as Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors prepare for high-stakes meetings in Washington, we're joined by Beirut-based journalist Wael Taleb to find out what life is like on the ground after a series of devastating strikes and whether a ceasefire is actually within reach.

    LISTEN: How To Silence Your Inner Critic (For Real)

    11/04/2026 | 44 mins.
    Do you ever notice that inner voice ... the one that’s quick to judge or put you down, even though you’d never speak to a friend that way?
    In this episode of But Are You Happy, clinical psychologist Dr. Anastasia Hronis talks about how to deal with your inner critic, especially when it starts affecting your mental health, and how to start building a more supportive voice instead.
    You'll also learn:
    Where that critical voice comes from
    Whether it gets easier to manage as we get older
    Signs someone might be struggling with self-worth
    Practical ways to build self-compassion
    If you or someone you know needs support, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636. Both services are available 24/7 for free, confidential mental health support.
