Curious Conversations with Tully and Sarah

[Watch on YouTube here] This week on Curious Conversations, we’re diving into the conversations people have behind closed doors, the ones where we don’t necessarily agree. Should mums always be the ones organising catch-ups? What matters more in relationships, physical intimacy or emotional intimacy? And when it comes to friendships… should you take them back after they’ve hurt you? It’s honest. It’s uncomfortable. It’s real. We unpack expectations in motherhood, the pressure to maintain friendships, emotional vs physical connection in relationships, and the hard truth about forgiveness and second chances. Because sometimes growth doesn’t come from agreement, it comes from debate.

This week on Curious Conversations, we’re back with a real-life update. It’s not the perkiest episode, but it is an honest one. We wanted to check in and share what’s actually been happening in our lives, no gloss, no pretending, just where we’re really at right now. Sometimes life feels heavy, uncertain, or messy, and this is one of those hard conversations. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

[Watch the episode here] We went live from the Chemist Warehouse Brand Showcase (yep, in freezing weather 🥶) and jumped on stage thanks to our friends at Chemist Warehouse! In this special episode, we look back on the past 5 years of Curious Conversations and play a fun game of re-introducing ourselves. Think of it as a mix between a celebration, a catch-up, and a little trip down memory lane. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

[Watch the episode here] This week on our Business Series, we sit down with Mia Klitsas, the woman who nearly 20 years ago made periods less taboo and tampons the accessory every girl carried in her bag. Mia shares the story behind building the Moxie brand and how it made a noise in the FMCG space, the challenges she faced along the way, and why she believes she has been able to create such lasting success. Mia reveals how their marketing has shifted, what still works, and what founders need to know about consumer goods today. This episode is packed with honesty, insight, and inspiration for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, marketing, and building products people truly connect with. #BusinessSeries #FMCG #Entrepreneurship #TikTokMarketing #CuriousConversations #business #periodtalk #interview Hosted on Acast.

[Watch the episode here] This week, it’s part life update, part deep dive (because we always end up going there). One of us has been a total Debbie, the other a full Karen lately, but we owned it, laughed about it, and unpacked what’s really been going on. We ponder philosophically: Are we living or just existing? How do we know the difference? Plus, Tully shares why she’s officially boycotting a certain place after what they did recently (spoiler: she’s fired up and salty). It’s real, it’s honest, and it’s the kind of unfiltered conversation that makes it feel like you’re having a conversation with your best friends. Hosted on Acast.

[Watch episode here] In this Business Series episode, we sit down with Bade and Lila of RIPPL Water, a sustainable hydration brand redefining how we think about water. From real estate to reverse osmosis, Bade’s gift of the gab has helped turn something as simple (and free) as water into a sell-out brand that’s focused on health, wellness, and sustainability. Together, Bade and Lila share the journey of building RIPPL: the challenges of breaking into the competitive beverage industry, why quality control matters more than anything, and how smart licensing collaborations have helped them grow. We also dive into the science behind reverse osmosis water purification, what makes RIPL different, and their mission to inspire better hydration practices without compromising on quality or the planet. If you’re curious about entrepreneurship, sustainability, and the future of wellness-driven brands, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration.

And yes, we had to chat about inflammation, because when do we not? And what's the one ingredient you should be checking on every food label?

(Watch episode here.) We stuffed up again… and as you’ll hear in the intro, one of us forgot to turn on the mics. But honestly, we loved this episode so much we had to share it with you anyway. This week we’re spilling the kind of secrets that were meant to stay private, predicting summer’s next big fashion trend, and giving you a behind-the-scenes look at our latest Tully Lou campaign.

Fun, Fluff & Fortune From thousands to millions (yep, millions), we sit down with the phenomenal Lizzie Waley, co‑founder of Sundae Body, to spill on how they went from small‑batch to 7 countries and thousands of stores around the world. Sundae Body transforms everyday showering into a fun, sensory celebration—where skincare meets self‑care, and each product feels like a tiny indulgence in a can. We talk scaling secrets, distribution wins, what Lizzie wishes she’d known sooner, and that wild moment they launched in one of Australia’s biggest supermarkets before they even had a website. Proof that anything is possible… and that sometimes, you’ve just gotta wing it. Subscribe for more episodes from our Business Series, real conversations with real founders, building real businesses.

Curious Conversations is back! Sarah is back from Europe, and Tully is back in the studio. This week, we debrief on everything that’s been happening since we left - how was the travel? What’s it like running two businesses? And naturally, we ended up talking about the anti-inflammation diet (because that’s half of my personality right now), and Tully dives into all things creatine. Sit down, catch up with us, and get ready because we’re back, baby. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's episode of Curious Conversations, it’s another long-distance life update, from the Italian Riviera to a chaotic Gold Coast hotel bathroom. (Yes, we’re recording from a toilet... kinda.) Sarah shares stories from her European summer, traveling with friends, falling into Lake Como (literally.) Back home, Tully’s holding it down in true mum mode, navigating toddler gastro, solo parenting, and a much-needed family escape to Queensland. We dive into that relentless juggle between motherhood and work, and why routine can feel both grounding and soul-sucking. We also unpack the Chinese farmer story, a perspective-shifting parable about why things aren’t always good or bad, they just are. Watch the Chinese farmer's story here. This episode is about friendship, freedom, family, falling (into lakes and life), and doing what makes you feel alive, even when it’s uncomfortable. 🎧 Hit play for a reminder that life is messy, magical, and always better when shared. 🛍️ Shop Tully Lou: www.tullylou.com.au 💸 Use code TLCHERRY for $15 off your first order 📲 Follow us on Instagram for behind-the-scenes and episode extras We have an official Instagram page.

This week’s episode of Curious Conversations is a tale of two very different realities – one from the dreamy mountains of Italy, and the other... covered in toddler vomit. Sarah checks in from the Italian Alps (yes, it looks Photoshopped) and shares what it’s really been like travelling through Europe right now – from navigating flight detours due to global unrest, to reconnecting with slower living and the romance of foraged food in tiny mountain towns. But is the European lifestyle everything it seems… or is it just the holiday glow? Meanwhile, back in Australia, Tully has been in full mum mode – dealing with baby gastro, her own bout of it, and the chaos of solo parenting while sick. Let’s just say it’s not the Italian dream – but it’s real, raw, and relatable AF. We chat about the freedom of solo travel, the pressure of parenting through illness, and the importance of staying present – no matter what season of life you’re in. If you’ve ever dreamed of moving to Europe, wondered what motherhood really looks like when the shit hits the fan (literally), or just want to feel like you're catching up with two mates on different sides of the world – this one’s for you.

We’re back on the mics for a real and raw solo chat – this time from two different locations (because Sarah’s about to jet off overseas!) but with the same honest energy you know and love from Curious Conversations. In this episode, we unpack relationships out of obligation – you know the ones. Friendships that drain you, catch-ups that feel like chores, and connections that leave you feeling worse, not better. We dive into long-term friendships, partner’s mates, and even family ties – asking the big question: are you doing this out of love or guilt? Plus, we chat about the “five people audit,” how to stop being the people-pleaser version of yourself, and why a few small daily rituals can completely shift your energy (spoiler: consistency really is the secret sauce). Also... hugs. The Disney kind. We’ll explain. This one’s for the girls who crave more authenticity and less obligation in their lives – with a little tough love and plenty of laughs.

We’re back behind the mics for a solo episode of Curious Conversations, and as always, this one is raw, honest, and full of the real-life stuff we all think about but don’t always say out loud (even our most recent disagreement). In this episode, we share personal life updates and discuss the "Let Them" theory, the things that annoy us right now, the power of perspective, and the ever-complicated world of modern dating. From needing someone vs. wanting someone, settling, and babies - this chat is full of relatable gems (hopefully) and “OMG, same” moments. This one’s for the girls who love a deep chat, a laugh with your bestie, and a little life perspective. Don’t forget to subscribe for more real conversations on Curious Conversations.
