In her books, and as a columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Kerri has documented her journey through marriage, divorce and years of dating in mid-life. Her most recent book The Secret Life of You: How a bit of alone time can change your life, relationships, and maybe the world is about embracing solitude. But in learning to be content by herself, Kerri also found love.

There's much to learn from Kerri and Mike's unconventional love story. Listen as they discuss dating in mid-life, the distinction between loneliness and solitude, why being single is better than being with the wrong person, and Kerri's quirky method of cutting bread.

How Learning To Be Alone Leads to Better Relationships

Cam and Ali are hosting an iconic Australian show-biz couple in the bathroom today.

Debra Lawrence and Dennis Coard got together 35 years ago, playing on-screen couple Pippa and Michael Ross on Home and Away. And, according to Debra, they still fancy the PANTS of each other. The couple also discuss keeping their relationship (and marriage) a secret on set, how marriage is similar to a corporation, the changing attitudes towards soap opera acting, and why they don't care about 'keeping romance alive'.
