  • Jamila Rizvi on why more women should be "difficult"

    Jamila Rizvi on why more women should be "difficult"
    Mar 2 2026
    Hello! Today, I’m joined by Jamila Rizvi. Jamila is an author, public speaker, and Deputy Managing Director of ⁠Future Women,⁠ where she champions gender equality across Australian workplaces. At just 31, and a first-time mum to her son Rafi, Jamila was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour. What followed were countless medical appointments, two brain surgeries, and 36 rounds of radiation. Today, the tumour is the size of half a grain of rice, a tiny physical reminder of a life-altering chapter that reshaped her perspective in profound ways. In this episode, we also talk about building a career inside government at a young age, navigating ambition alongside motherhood, and the power of asking for help from friends and family during the hardest seasons of life. If you'd like to support Jamila, head to the ⁠All About Women Festival⁠ on International Women's Day, this Sunday, the 8th of March. This conversation touches on themes of body image and disordered eating, if you or are loved needs support, please contact ⁠The Butterfly Foundation 1800 33 4673. ⁠ Thank you so much to ⁠Pandora⁠ for supporting this episode of Inherited.

    3 Life Lessons with Madeleine Edwards
    Feb 25 2026
    Hello! Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Australian beauty content creator and first-time mum, Madeleine Edwards. In this conversation, Madeleine opens up about her journey in the beauty industry, from building her platform to navigating the ever-evolving (and often unrealistic) standards that shape the world of beauty. We also dive into a more personal chapter of her life: falling pregnant with her daughter, Carmen, stepping into motherhood, and the terrifying moment during birth when she thought she might lose her.

  • Sophie Cachia on her age-gap relationship

    Sophie Cachia on her age-gap relationship
    Feb 23 2026
    Hello! Today, I’m joined by Sophie Cachia. Sophie is a Melbourne-based content creator, business owner and mum to her three children, Bobby, Floss and Esme. After more than a decade in the public eye, Sophie has learned to tune out the noise and live life on her own terms. In this episode, she opens up about marrying and divorcing in her 20s, the deeply personal journey of coming to terms with her sexuality, and navigating the challenges of dating and relationships in the spotlight. Sophie also shares insights into her blended family, the beautiful co-parenting dynamic she’s built, and the role her partner, Maddy Prespakis, plays in their lives. She speaks candidly about online criticism, including commentary around their 10-year age gap, and why she no longer lets strangers’ opinions define her.
