Parenthood

Behind every big opportunity is a story most people never see.

While I was filming The Block, everyone saw the exciting career milestone. What they didn’t see was my husband holding down the fort at home—school drop-offs, dinners, bedtimes and everything in between.

This episode isn’t just about ambition. It’s about partnership.

Because success is rarely achieved alone. It’s often built on the quiet sacrifices of the people who love us most.

If you’re in a season where you’re carrying more so someone else can chase a dream, or someone has done that for you, this episode is for you.

This week we’re answering an audience DM: “I’m a mum of 3 young children and I’m exhausted. It’s impacting my relationship. How do you know if your relationship is truly falling apart, or if it’s just due to the sleep deprivation phase?”

We chat all things the realities of sleep deprivation, our experiences with no sleep in the early days of parenting, how our relationships were challenged due to the lack of sleep and is this just a season?

Jack Kennedy is a familiar face from ABC’s Muster Dogs, a community leader and dad of two.

We talk modern fatherhood, becoming a stay-at-home dad, identity after stepping away from work, paternal postnatal stress, and why asking for help can be one of the hardest.

Did I manifested my role on The Block Australia?

My answer?

Yes—but probably not in the way social media makes manifestation look.

Manifestation wasn't about wishing for something and waiting for it to happen.

It was about getting clear on what I wanted, preparing as though it was possible, putting myself out there and trusting the timing.

This episode is about the mindset that helped me create this opportunity —and how you can apply the same principles to your own goals.
