Sam Wood rose to fame as The Bachelor in 2015, where he found the love of his life, Snezana. But he’s now best known as one of Australia’s leading voices in health and fitness. With 20+ years of experience and his hugely popular program, 28 by Sam Wood, he’s helped thousands take charge of their wellbeing.

In this candid conversation, Sam and Jess dive deep into the unfiltered realities of parenting. From the ‘beautiful chaos’ of blended families to the often unrealistic expectations set by social media. Sam also opens up about the challenges of explaining fame to their children, why he’s now a ‘yes’ person, and shares the surprising reason he and Snezana still haven’t had their honeymoon.
