We love Sally Hepworth on the Unleashed couch for her razor-sharp wit and her hilarious, no-BS take on modern motherhood. Sally is one of Australia’s most successful, best-loved authors and her novels are regularly on top bestseller lists around the world.
But in this No Filter conversation with Kate Langbroek, she strips back the bestseller glamour to share her most personal story yet - and it’s as layered and compelling as one of her books. Sally gets incredibly real about ending her 20-year marriage, why she no longer believes marriage is a good deal for women and her new golden rule: never living with a man again.
And why, despite the heartbreak, this next chapter might just be her happiest yet.
It’s honest, a little bit raw, and a chance to get to know this powerhouse author a whole lot better.
This episode originally aired on No Filter.
