  • 😭😊 crying & smiling ❤️❤️‍🩹

    I have cried in every single episode so far! My favourites are Amanda and Ross (city girl found her country man), Georgie Tunny and Rob Mills (how did you get them to open up about babies?! Can’t wait to see Rob’s stay at home Dad Life) and I bawled my eyes out at the man talking about his dog 🐕 😭. Thanks Tiff. We needed this. Ps Mum and my aunties always loved Women’s Weekly, I feel like we are all together when I listen ❤️

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Vika & Linda Bull Battled Boys Clubs, Break-Ups & Bad Times While Staying In Tune
Q: How did you navigate the challenging period in the 90s when you felt directionless as a duo?
We faced a lack of clear management and different tastes; a major turning point was reassessing the business, stepping back from family involvement in management, and choosing to stay true to singing and collaboration, which ultimately strengthened our partnership.
Meet Martin & Kim Shaw, The Couple Whose Love Holds Veteran Families Together | Acts of Service
Q: Why did Martin get involved, given he's not a veteran?
He was drawn by the national reach, the transparency that 100 percent of public donations go to veterans, and the chance to make a tangible, life-saving impact on families facing crises after service.
