In The Heart Of The Vault

Sometimes, understanding the parent you’ve become means going back to the child you once were. This is a very different kind of conversation for In The Heart Of The Vault. Before I talk about Charlie and the experiences we’ve navigated together, I wanted to share some of my own story — because our past doesn’t simply disappear when we become parents. Our experiences, our fears, the things we’ve lived through and the things we’ve carried can shape how we respond when our own children face challenges we never imagined. As I’ve navigated Charlie’s complex medical journey, I’ve come to understand more about myself, the experiences that have shaped me, and the ways I’ve been able to show up differently for him. Not because I’ve got everything figured out. Not because the decisions are easy. But because sometimes, the hardest experiences teach us things about ourselves that we only understand years later. This episode is about my story, Charlie’s story, and the connection between the two. Because sometimes, the…

What happens when the person you’ve spent years waiting for finally comes home — but life doesn’t look anything like you imagined? Zoe Cullen joined me for one of the most honest conversations I’ve had about the reality of living alongside PTSD, trauma and moral injury — not just for the person experiencing it, but for the entire family. Zoe is a mum of four and, for many years, found herself carrying the responsibility of raising her family while her husband, Australian Army veteran Andrew Cullen, spent long periods away serving his country. She spoke openly about the reality she hadn’t anticipated — the loneliness, the exhaustion, the loss of her own identity and the resentment that can build when you feel like you’re carrying everything alone. And then he came home. But coming home didn’t mean everything simply went back to how it was before. The PTSD, disconnection, withdrawal and loss of identity affected not only Andrew, but Zoe, their relationship and their children. Zoe shares what it was like to…

Bronte met her childhood sweetheart at 15. They married at 19, had their first baby at 21, followed by another child and then twins. Four beautiful children. A home they were building. A life she had always dreamed of. But somewhere along the way, Bronte lost herself. She felt like a failure because she’d always wanted her children to have both parents together. When she reached out for support, she was made to feel like the problem was hers — and if it was her problem, then it was her responsibility to fix it. This was also the only relationship she’d ever known, so she had nothing to compare it to. She questioned herself, withdrew, and found herself crying alone at night, sometimes hiding in her wardrobe while her husband slept. She tried. She asked for couples therapy. She tried to hold everything together while raising three children under 18 months and a four-year-old, navigating work, financial pressure and a marriage where she felt increasingly alone. Eventually, she made the incredibly difficult…

There’s something I’ve always loved about being a mum…Seeing the world through my children’s eyes.This is actually the third time Evie has joined me on the podcast, but this conversation was completely different.We sat down and talked about what it’s actually like to be 19 — almost 20 — today.Dating. Friendships. Social media. Going out. Drinking (or not drinking). Growing into yourself. The conversations we have as mum and daughter. The things she thinks about that I never would have thought about at her age.And what I loved most was hearing her perspective.Because sometimes, as parents, we think our job is to teach our children.But I honestly believe our kids are some of our biggest teachers.They challenge the way we see the world. They open our minds. And they give us a perspective we simply can’t get anywhere else.And I feel incredibly lucky that Evie and I have always had such open communication. That openness even extends to her friends, who will sit and talk to me about things too.But I also know that…

Some promises never end. At Josiah’s funeral, Jessica made her little boy two promises: “I will honour you by the way I live my life.” “And I will always speak your name.” Today, she keeps that promise. After a long journey through IVF, Jessica and her husband Josh welcomed their precious son, Josiah. Born tiny but deeply loved, he spent seven weeks changing their world forever. In this conversation, Jessica shares what life looks like after baby loss—the shock, the silence, the ache of empty arms, and the reality of returning to a world that keeps moving while yours has stopped. But more than anything, she speaks about something every bereaved parent deserves: Permission to keep talking about their child. So often, grieving parents swallow their words because they’re afraid of making others uncomfortable. Jessica reminds us that love doesn’t end because a life was short. Josiah is her son. His life matters. His story matters. I hope this conversation helps anyone walking the impossible road of grief feel…

🎙️ Forever Five: Ozzies Legacy — A Life Measured in Love, Not Years with Maria Raggio This week, Maria Raggio opens the vault to share the story of her beautiful son, Oskar — known and loved by everyone as Ozzie. Born with the ultra-rare Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome, Ozzie faced more challenges in his five years than most people will face in a lifetime. Yet despite countless hospital stays, procedures, and unimaginable hurdles, he continued to light up every room he entered with his smile, his spirit, and his zest for life. But this episode isn’t about a diagnosis. It’s about a little boy who was deeply loved. It’s about a family who refused to let adversity define their son. It’s about parents who fought tirelessly for every opportunity, every milestone, and every precious moment. It’s about siblings who adored their brother. And it’s about a family whose love grew stronger through the very challenges that could have torn them apart. In this deeply moving conversation, Maria shares the realities of raising…

At 18 years old, Kate Seselja walked into a pokie room for the first time. What started as a night out with friends quickly became a secret battle that would consume the next 12 years of her life. Over that time, Kate lost approximately $500,000 through refinanced mortgages, credit cards, and years of gambling losses. Alongside the financial toll came overwhelming shame, secrecy, and a desperate search for help that simply wasn't there. Despite countless attempts to stop, gambling addiction tightened its grip. Kate eventually found herself in such a dark place that she contemplated ending her life. Then she discovered she was pregnant with her sixth child. Knowing that any decision she made would also affect the life she was carrying, she couldn't go through with it. In what had become her darkest chapter, her unborn baby became the reason she held on — and the turning point that would lead her toward recovery, advocacy, and hope. But this is not where her story ends. In this powerful conversation, Kate…

There’s so much pressure to get back to normal after something life-changing. As adults… we learn to step away. From conversations that don’t feel right. From people who say the wrong thing. From environments that feel too heavy. But kids don’t always have that choice. They sit in classrooms. They hear comments. They carry expectations they don’t understand — from people who think they’re helping. And slowly… it builds. Not because they’re not coping — but because they haven’t been given the space to. This episode is just me… talking about that pressure, and why “back to normal” isn’t always the safest place for a child to land.

In this episode of In the Heart of the Vault, Nicola shares the deeply personal journey that began when her baby boy Louie was born prematurely at 32 weeks. Just days after his birth, Louie’s intestine twisted and strangulated, leaving only 8cm of small intestine able to be saved after multiple emergency surgeries. Nicola and her husband were told to prepare for palliative care. They were warned that continuing treatment could prolong suffering and that letting him go may be the kinder option. But Nicola trusted her instinct as a mother. What followed was eight months in hospital, navigating life in survival mode, making impossible decisions, and learning how to advocate for their son while holding their family together. Today, Louie is exceeding expectations. This conversation explores the raw reality of motherhood in medical crisis, the grief parents carry behind closed doors, the strength it takes to advocate for your child, and the deep trust that can grow when you learn to listen to your intuition.…

BONUS EPISODE : Finding Your Voice as Your Child’s Advocate Sometimes in medicine, decisions aren’t made by just one doctor. Teams come together. Surgeons, specialists, consultants — all sharing knowledge and experience to make the best possible decisions. And that matters. But there’s another voice that belongs in that room too. The parent. Because no matter how skilled the medical team is, no one knows your child the way you do. In this episode we talk about advocacy — finding the courage to speak up when something doesn’t feel right, even when you’re scared, overwhelmed, or unsure why. Not out of defiance. But out of love. Because trusting the experts and trusting your instincts can exist at the same time. Inside the Vault we share stories about navigating those moments — the uncertainty, the questions, and the strength it takes to find your voice when it matters most.

But this conversation isn’t only about loss. It’s about remembering. Rochelle speaks about the importance of saying Milli’s name, keeping her memory alive, and creating space for…

Finding Sunshine When Your World Has Fallen Apart Sometimes the hardest part of trauma… isn’t just what happened. It’s the fear of the unknown that follows. When your nervous system has lived in survival mode, it’s so easy to stay there — constantly waiting for the next thing to go wrong. In this solo episode of In the Heart of the Vault, I talk honestly about how I’ve navigated that space.

✨ New Episode — with Amanda from @AddictionMakesthree This conversation opens the vault on the side of addiction most people never talk about — the impact it has on the partners, the families, and the people silently holding everything together behind closed doors. Amanda shares the hidden reality of living alongside someone in addiction: the chaos, the hyper-vigilance, the constant checking, the broken trust, the cancelled plans, the emotional whiplash, and the feeling of slowly losing yourself in someone else’s struggle. She speaks for anyone who has ever found themselves asking: “Is tonight going to be okay?” “Can I trust what they’re saying?” “Why do I feel like I’m the problem?” “How did their addiction turn me into someone I don’t even recognise anymore?” This episode isn’t about blaming.

This conversation hit differently. You know those episodes where it doesn’t feel like an interview — it feels like two women sitting together, soul-to-soul, honouring the truth of what life can take… and what it can give back? Phoebe Stuart’s life changed in a single moment. First year of uni. Healthy. Happy. Future laid out in front of her. Then — an unexpected medical emergency that placed her in ICU for five weeks and set off a chain of consequences most of us can’t imagine living through. Phoebe became a triple amputee. She was left legally blind. Her body was burned, traumatised, reshaped. And then… she rebuilt everything. She became a lawyer. A public speaker. A mentor. A mother. A woman who leads with grace, humour, perspective and fire. This isn’t a story about tragedy — it’s a story about choosing life every day, even when life doesn’t look like what you planned. It is one of the most open, honest, belly-to-belly conversations I’ve had inside In the Heart of the Vault. I walked away changed — and I…
