Actress Jodi Gordon on her recovery journey, new counselling work, and feeling grounded at 41.

For more than 20 years, Jodi Gordon lived much of her life in the spotlight. But behind the scenes, she was quietly struggling. Four years ago, she revealed her struggles with depression – and spoke for the first time about going to rehab for alcohol addiction.  

On this episode of the Stellar podcast, Jodi opens up about what life has looked like for her in recovery, stepping away from acting to work as a counsellor for Sane Australia, launching her new practice The Modern Recovery Group, and why, at 41, she feels more grounded than ever.

Chrissie Swan opens up on leaving breakfast radio, sobriety, co-parenting teens & her emotional Who Do You Think You Are? family discovery.

Chrissie Swan doesn’t do many interviews. “I’m like Halley’s Comet,” she jokes of the astrological phenomenon that only appears every 75 years or so. Now, Chrissie is orbiting back to the other side of the microphone, a place she readily admits she doesn't tend to be. 

This week on Something To Talk About, Chrissie reflects on the headlines she refuses to let define her, and how she walks the careful line between sharing her life publicly and protecting her children privately. She also discusses leaving breakfast radio, giving up alcohol, co-parenting teenagers, and why uncovering generations of rebellious women and family tragedy on her upcoming episode of SBS’ Who Do You Think You Are? ultimately changed the way she sees herself.

Chrissie’s episode of Who Do You Think You Are? airs on SBS on Tuesday, June 9, at 7.30pm.
