Easter Sunday 2025, I was joined on the show by a guest I’ve known for every single second of her 30 years — and, if we’re getting technical, even before that, when she was giving me heartburn, and heart attacks with in the lead up to her grand entry into the world.

All said, this amazing woman is my first true love. The most beautiful princess in all the land and, quite frankly, one of the scariest people I’ve ever met.

Fierce doesn’t even begin to cover it — her razor-sharp intuition, unshakeable standards, and piercing blue eyed gaze have been the driving force behind some of my biggest life decisions… largely because I was terrified of disappointing her.

But beyond all that, she’s kind, caring, strong, hilarious, endlessly thoughtful, and loves nothing more than creating magical moments for anyone in her vision.

And the 20th of April was special. Not just because we were on the radio together, but because we’ll be doing “us” in an environment we’d never shared before.

We dove straight into the magical world of motherhood — across generations. Talking through what it was like raising Rose in the 90s and 2000s, and how she’s now raising my granddaughter, Evelyn, in a world that looks very different. From parenting philosophies and old-school values to the things she’s reinventing, holding onto, or letting go of — we explored it all.

There we laughed, cried, cracked a Kath ‘n Kim reference and played some Kings of Leon in the breaks.

She’s one of my favourite people in the world and mother to the most talented, gifted, and beautiful granddaughter that ever walked the earth.

The Tables Turned! 🎙️ I was the Guest, with Steve Carey Hosting!

On a very warm Sunday in February, at 94.1FM 3WBC, for the first time ever, I handed over the reins of my show and settled in as a guest of longtime friend and magnificent media man, Steve Carey.

He took the lead and asked me “what does it feel like being you, today?” which provided foundation for a deep dive into my personal and professional journey … a story I’ve not told in its entirety and it evoked all kinds of emotions 😃 🤔 😐 😑 🫨 .

Accustomed to being the “interviewer”, it was certainly a shift – but Steve, former CHANNEL 7 TV News Director, crafted a surprise package of questions and delicately peeled back my layers, as he expertly guided conversations around my early life, challenges with mental health, and how my career evolved to focus on men’s health and mental health.

We also tackled some of the more gnarly topics like suicide, self-harm, addiction, and violence – backed up with information about where find support.

What does it feel like being you today?
