In this deeply honest and emotional episode of Let’s Be Real, I sit down with fitness coach, entrepreneur and mum of five, Chontel Duncan.

From building a successful fitness empire with her high school sweetheart to raising five young children in a loud, love-filled home, Chontel shares what life really looks like behind the social media highlight reel.

She also recounts the terrifying moment she found her two-year-old son at the bottom of their backyard pool and how instinct, CPR training and staying calm under pressure ultimately saved his life.

But there's so much more to Chontel's story, and she'll be back for part two in the next episode.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte is one of Australia's best-known entertainers, thanks to her years in musical theatre, starring role on soap Neighbours and fronting dance act Rogue Traders.

This week, Nat joins me on Let’s Be Real for one of her most raw and honest conversations yet.

After years in the spotlight, Natalie opens up about the story behind the headlines, and what it was really like to unravel the version of herself she had been living for so long.

Natalie speaks candidly about juggling fame, motherhood, marriage, co-parenting, coming out later in life, and the terrifying but freeing process of choosing authenticity.

She opens up about the moment that changed her life while performing in the stage production of Jagged Little Pill, the “electric” connection she felt when she met her now-fiancée Pip, and the reality of navigating such a deeply personal journey as the world watched.

This is a conversation about heartbreak, healing, identity, blended families, public pressure, therapy, and learning to honour your heart.

You can read more about Nat's story in her book Love Like This, which is out now.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte on Coming Out, Co-Parenting & Living Authentically

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/8c3156e6-4626-44f4-9ce4-b41d000696ee/transcript

In this episode, I sit down with Georgie Stevenson - entrepreneur, podcaster and founder of Nu Harvest supplements, and Rise & Conquer, the self-development platform brand built on manifestation and self-trust. 

Georgie shares her journey from studying law and working at a corporate firm to walking away from it all to follow a path that felt more aligned with her values. What started as a creative side hustle quickly evolved into multiple thriving businesses.  

But this conversation goes deeper than business. 

We unpack the power of manifestation and what it really means (and what most people get wrong), the value in identity shifts, and why becoming the person you want to be matters more than chasing external success. Georgie breaks down practical tools to help you get unstuck, rewire your thinking, and step into a new version of yourself - even when it feels uncomfortable. 

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or like you’re capable of more, this episode will change the way you think about growth, mindset, and what’s possible for your life.

Why You Keep Feeling Stuck (And How to Break Free) with Georgie Stevenson

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/138ad280-5b11-452d-82d0-b4160160c044/transcript

What if trauma, grief and emotional pain don’t just live in your mind — but in the rest of your body too?

Dr Sarah Jane is a chiropractor, holistic counsellor and founder of Spinal Energetics, a powerful approach to healing that works with the nervous system, the spine and the body’s stored emotional experiences.

In this deeply honest conversation, Sarah discusses how she coped after experiencing five miscarriages. We talk openly about her fertility struggles, grief, resilience, and how the body processes trauma, as well as why healing isn’t something someone else “does” to you, but something your body already knows how to do.

Sarah shares how the devastating losses, grief and unanswered questions that ultimately led her to create a healing method now used to help thousands of people around the world.

We also discuss the connection betweentrauma and the body, and how emotional experiences can shape your nervous system for years.

It's a raw and unfiltered conversation about loss, healing, and finding meaning after unimaginable pain.
