We’re back for season two and what a way to kick off, with Australian broadcasting icon, Yumi Stynes – a fierce and fearless trailblazer who knows all about finding your strength when you are very much on your own.
Yumi opens up about surviving some very public media pile-ons, and how she manages the hateful trolling that has made her fear for her safety.
She also shares her journey through two divorces, how it helped her cultivate a robust sense of self, and why we she threw a huge party to celebrate the end of her last marriage.
Yumi’s wisdom, strength and trademark humour make for a candid conversation where nothing is off limits, as she speaks about the freedom and joy she’s found in embracing not only the single life but sobriety.
A writer, podcaster, TV presenter, and mother-of-four, Yumi is the author of the best-selling Welcome To book series (Welcome to Your Period, Welcome to Consent, and more), and her award-winning podcast Ladies We Need To Talk is a groundbreaking show tackling topics that have often been shrouded in shame, stigma or ignorance.
Check out the episode she did recently with Jill talking about her own sobriety journey.
