Beauty isn’t a 10-step routine - especially for busy, midlife women.

We cover perimenopause and missed symptoms, what actually works in skincare, how to choose clinicians (and when to skip them), and why “less is more” might be th...

Sex. Intimacy. Desire. Shame. These are topics we don’t often talk about, especially as women in midlife, but they affect every part of who we are. In this deeply honest episode of Tea with Jules, I sit down with Lara Boielle, a clinical sexologist and naturopath, to have the conversation we’ve all been avoiding but desperately need. From scheduling space (not sex) to understanding how our libido is tied to how we feel about ourselves, Lara shares wisdom, warmth, and practical steps for findi...

Fear is loud. It wants to keep you small, safe, and silent. But here’s the truth: fear is just a feeling - not a fact. And everything you’ve ever wanted is waiting on the other side of it. In my very first solo episode of Tea with Jules, I’m diving into the topic of fear - how it shows up, why it tries to hold us back, and how we can move forward anyway. I’m sharing personal stories (like the time I almost said no to MTV because I was terrified), plus the five powerful questions I ask myself ...

Friends! I’m a little ball of nerves to put this poddy out there. Why? Because in this episode, I really go there.

Yes, truly. This week on Tea with Jules, Lisa Johnston is back in the blue chair, and she somehow managed to unlock a memory vault I clearly wasn’t ready for. We talk bloating (middle-aged s...

We first met when my husband Guy signed to the music label BMG (later becoming Sony Music) after winning the very first Australian Idol! Ange was his assigned publicist at the label.
