Many of you will know Jules from Married at First Sight Australia, where she met her now husband Cam Merchant in what has become one of the show’s most successful love stories. They met on the experiment in their mid-30s, fell in love on screen, and have since built a family life together with two kids. Since the show, Jules has grown into a successful entrepreneur, launching the inclusive shape wear and fashion brand FIGUR. Jules lives with PMDD and explains how her hormones really threw a spanner into the works after having her first baby.

Today we speak about what it was like going on reality TV later in life and unexpectedly meeting your husband, how her experience on MAFS compares to what the show looks like today, the realities of postpartum mental health, and how she’s turned her platform into a thriving business.

We chat:

• The concept of ‘timelines’ and how Jules’ life pivoted at 37 years old
• Having babies in her 40s
• What a ‘gender selection specialist’ does and how Jules feels about getting pregnant in her mid 40s
• What PMDD actually feels like
• The post natal period with PMDD
• The difference a supportive partner can make
• Why Jules started Figur after MAFS and being body shamed
• The realities of growing a business
• Who we all think will last as a couple from this season of MAFS

We did an episode on PMDD with endocrinologist Dr Izzy Smith that you can watch here

Hey Lifers!!

Welcome to Laura’s 40th birthday party! She’s got another party coming but her friends have taken over party planning and it’s becoming an extravaganza! Britt’s been tasked with finding a magician and we’re all on the hunt for Laura’s birth time for her birth chart.

We have a nice sentimental moment when we get to share some of the ways that Laura has impacted your lives. Some are heartfelt and beautiful, some are absolutely hilarious.

Laura also gets a personalised surprise performance by the incredible Hannah Conda

We need to talk about Taylor Frankie Paul and the cancellation of the bachelorette in the US.
ABC pulled the season three days before it was supposed to air. They pulled the season after WE saw the violent video, not because they became aware of the past behaviour of the person they chose to cast!
We speak about:

• Whether Taylor was cast because of controversy or in spite of it?
• The courts vs the court of public opinion
• How far the ‘line’ is being pushed by casting someone with criminal charges
• ABC's culpability
• Britt and Laura’s lived experience with the bachelor and why certain people are cast
• The background checks that they do
