This conversation is honest. It’s confronting at times. It’s also incredibly reassuring. If you’re in the trenches of parenting adolescents (or heading there soon), this one is for you. In This Episode, We Cover: If it resonated, share it with a friend who’s navigating the teenage years too. And as always, teammates - we’ve got this.

In this episode of Tea with Jules, Jules is joined by Lisa Johnston for a very honest, very relatable conversation about the emotional whiplash of school returning. Routines, exhaustion, expectations, and the quiet pressure parents put on themselves (and their kids) without even realising it. There’s laughter, vulnerability, a few parenting confessions that may sting a little, and plenty of moments where you’ll think, oh wow.. that’s me. This episode is for anyone who’s navigating school drop-offs, parenting guilt, changing seasons of family life, or trying to learn how to guide their kids without controlling them. Because sometimes the hardest part of parenting is learning when to hold on and when to let go.

Welcome back, Tea-mates and welcome to the very first episode of Tea with Jules for 2026! This one is less “new year, new me” and more “this new year isn’t starting till February.” Jules is joined on the couch by the always-brilliant Lisa Johnston for a free-flowing, hilariously honest catch-up covering everything from mum-life realities and habit building, to manifesting, journaling, Taylor Swift, playdate pressure, and why January absolutely does not count as a fresh start for parents. This episode is pure banter, comic relief, and gentle reflection - the kind you listen to while driving, folding laundry, getting your steps or hiding in the pantry with a protein bar. ☕In This Episode, We Chat About: Connect with Jules Get Jules’ Newsletter – a letter each week with personal antidotes, recipes, fashion, cocktails, podcast episodesJules Best Selling Book – Tea & HonestlyWatch Tea with Jules on YouTubeFollow Jules on InstagramFollow Tea with Jules on InstagramFollow Jules on TikTokSubscribe to Tea with Jules the Podcast in iTunesCredits: Sound Engineer & Music: @kailesh_reitmans Videographer & Editor: @nathan_niguidula Producer: @lisajohnston_ @julessebastian Welcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian.

In this deeply moving and powerfully honest episode of Tea with Jules, Jules sits down with writer, speaker, content creator, podcast host, and fierce LGBTQIA+ advocate Sean Szeps. What begins as a conversation about parenting quickly expands into something much bigger: identity, belonging, empathy, religion, raising kind humans, finding love, rewriting the script of your life, and the courage it takes to live as your truest self. Sean shares his extraordinary journey - from growing up in a deeply religious community in the U.S., to navigating his sexuality alone as a child, to eventually coming out and finding acceptance, love, marriage, and fatherhood. He opens up about internalised shame, choosing between two impossible futures, the moment the world shifted and parenthood became a real possibility, and the emotional rollercoaster of raising twins through surrogacy. Jules and Sean dive into otherness - the feeling of being different and how every one of us, regardless of sexuality, gender, or background, has experienced moments of being the “only one in the room.” Together they explore how parents can prepare children to meet difference with empathy, curiosity, and compassion. This episode is emotional, uplifting, raw, hilarious, and full of wisdom, the kind that deepens your understanding of yourself and the world around you. Tea-mates buckle up. We go there.

In this solo episode of Tea with Jules, Jules gets real about the chaos of modern life, 35-page to-do lists, and why multitasking is quietly frying our brains. She shares the small, science-backed habits that have completely reshaped her days – from becoming a 5:30 am morning person (yes, really) to breaking the chips-and-Netflix cycle at night. This is a gentle, practical pep talk for anyone who feels busy, scattered, time-poor, and wants to feel calmer, clearer, and more on top of life without doing a full personality transplant overnight.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Tea with Jules, I sit down with sleep scientist, author and advocate Dr Carmel Harrington, whose life’s work began with unimaginable loss. After the sudden infant death of her son Damien, Carmel left a successful law career to pursue a PhD in sleep medicine and has since become an internationally recognised expert in the science of sleep. Carmel shares what actually happens in our brains and bodies while we sleep, why it impacts everything from our mood and memory to dementia risk, and how our modern, always-on lifestyles are quietly eroding one of the most important foundations of our health. If you’ve ever stayed up scrolling, pulled an all-nighter, or told yourself you can “push through” on little sleep, this conversation will gently (but firmly) change the way you think about rest. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of why sleep is non-negotiable, plus practical, realistic strategies to protect your sleep – even in busy seasons of life with kids, work, and a very full plate.

Today’s Tea with Jules episode is one of those conversations that sits with you. The kind that gently nudges you to look inward, reflect, and reconnect with yourself and the people you love. I’m joined by relationship therapist Nicole Armstrong, Managing Director of The Relationship Practice, a specialist in attachment theory, communication patterns, emotional awareness, and helping individuals, couples and families navigate relational challenges with honesty, courage, and compassion. Nicole isn’t just an expert in her field, she has been my personal therapist, and someone whose guidance has helped me rebuild calm in seasons of anxiety, deepen connection in my relationships, and nurture a healthier relationship with myself. In this episode, we explore why women historically place themselves last, how to rebuild connection with ourselves, and what a healthy partnership actually looks like. We talk attachment styles, conflict, boundaries, time, and why sometimes the bravest thing we can do is slow down.

If you’ve ever stood in the middle of your home and thought, "Where on earth do I even begin?", this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Today on Tea With Jules, I sit down with the brilliant Anita Birges - professional home organiser, declutter queen, founder of Mise En Place, and the woman behind hundreds of beautifully calm, functional homes across Australia. But this episode isn’t just about cleaning cupboards and colour-coding pantries - it’s about the emotional clutter. The guilt, the overwhelm, the “I’ll deal with it later” piles, and the fantasy of living in a Pinterest-perfect showroom. Anita walks us through why clutter weighs so heavily on our minds, how to start when you feel completely overwhelmed, and the simple systems that help households run more smoothly - especially when kids, school bags, wrapping paper, sport gear and surprise junk mail are part of the daily chaos. We cover everything from sentimental items, to wardrobe rules, to the hilariously relatable reality of donation bags living permanently in the boot of the car. If you’ve been craving more calm, space, order, time and mental clarity - this one’s for you.

This week, Jules and Lisa sit down for another hilarious and heartfelt debrief about love languages, November burnout, and the beautiful madness that is Christmas. From the art of acts of service (“don’t do that without asking me first!”) to the suspicious side of bin duties, Jules and Lisa unpack what it really means to give and receive love when your partner’s language just doesn’t match your own. The chat takes an unmissable turn into church antics like, the moment Lisa confidently said “(bow)” out loud during Mass and continues through family traditions, chaos management, and why November feels like a full-blown emotional marathon. They open up about Guy’s year of surgeries, the juggle of motherhood and work, and the delicate dance of keeping Christmas magic alive when you’ve never had the same Christmas twice. It’s a warm, witty, and wildly relatable chat that perfectly captures friendship, family, and festive-season fatigue, all wrapped up with laughter, honesty, and hydralyte.

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 finding your way back to yourself and to intimacy. We talk about shame, the noise of midlife, and why slowing down and reconnecting with your body is the key to rediscovering desire. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship, freshly dating, or navigating this season of life solo, this episode is about breaking stigma, finding safety, and realising that sexuality is not for someone else, it’s for you. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: About Lara Boielle Lara Boielle is a clinical sexologist, relationship therapist, and naturopath who works with individuals and couples across diverse relationship structures. She creates safe, inclusive, non-judgmental spaces to explore intimacy, communication, and pleasure, while helping clients navigate sexual challenges.
