In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah sit down in person with the glittering, best-selling author, Chelsea Winter, for a very special live conversation with the cookbook queen, mother of two, and all-round force of divine feminine nature.

Chelsea has been part of our kitchens and hearts since MasterChef days, and she opens up about everything from her free-range childhood to following intuition, navigating motherhood solo, and finding balance between her brand and her true self.

She shares the journey from corporate burnout to MasterChef glory, her evolution through plant-based living and back to balance with her instant best-selling cookbook, Nourish, and how her relationship with food has mirrored her personal growth.

Chelsea speaks with striking honesty about the tougher parts of that journey too. Dealing with public criticism, navigating the expectations of fame, and calling out the sexism that still surfaces when women dare to expand beyond the boxes they’ve been put in. Her candour about self-doubt, resilience, and finding strength through vulnerability made for some of the most powerful moments of the afternoon.

Chelsea talks candidly about motherhood, in all its joy, chaos, ego hits, and the daily lessons our kids throw back at us. She shares how she’s discovered the importance of self-care, boundaries, and honouring your inner knowing. She shares about her upcoming ‘Nourish & Bloom’ retreats, designed to help women reconnect with their divine feminine energy and each other, and her plans for her future direction.

Thank you to our live audience for turning up to share this moment and bringing an incredible vibe. We were honoured to host you and get to hang out for an unforgettable afternoon! Thanks also to Chelsea who gave so much to the audience, being authentic, funny, open, inspiring and just totally captivating.

And a huge shoutout to the incredible sponsors who helped make the day such a gift: Allen & Unwin, Chelsea Winter, TET Stadium & Events Centre, Neat Skincare, My Big Moments, Two Rivers, Clover Ferments, Weleda, Clinicians, Wild Pear Kitchen, Bennetto, BraveFace, Sawmill Brewery, Drink Almighty, and, Kombucha Bros.
