Magnus and Linda head back to Australia to visit family before the baby pops out in a few months. It’s Mother’s Day so Linda’s mum, Janet, reminisces about becoming a mum and then Linda seeks out a best friend to talk about her experience of new motherhood, how parenting changes your relationship, and especially those first few challenging weeks of life with a newborn. 

Join Linda on her hilarious and real journey towards self-reflection and growth. Season 3 will continue to see Linda grapple with every essence of change and control with an extended season of weekly episodes of returning characters and a new cast of exciting guests: comedians Blair Socci (Aqua Teen Forever), DeAnne Smith (Netflix’s Gender Agenda), best-selling author Charlotte Ree (Heartbake: A Bittersweet Memoir), and some of the most integral personalities of pop cultural fabric, Chelsea Devantez (The Problem with Jon Stewart, Girls5eva, Glamorous Trash: A Celebrity Memoir Podcast), Osher Günsburg (The Bachelor), and more to be revealed.

It’s the night of Linda’s book launch, and emotions are flying. 

For the last two years, Linda’s been writing a memoir about family and relationships. While getting stuck into the process, Linda’s been digging into a big part of her personality: she is a life-long people pleaser. 

Linda turns to two close friends for guidance on how to live a more honest, unapologetic life and how to set boundaries while remaining compassionate. 

And before Linda can celebrate the release of her book, she needs to have an uncomfortable conversation with one of the main characters in it. 

Join Linda on her hilarious, raw and (sometimes) sad journey towards self-reflection and growth in a time of uncertainty.

Tough love lessons on all the shit that counts.

Linda heads out of the city to check in on her fertility journey with a close ‘egg freezing’ friend. She makes a happy discovery while realising an important emotional lesson on control and expectations. How do we let go of things outside of our control? A new friend teaches us the philosophy of stoicism as Linda asks, how do we remain stoic in times of uncertainty? Why do the stoics say no to ‘hope’? 

Join Linda on her hilarious, raw and (sometimes) sad journey towards self-reflection and growth in a time of uncertainty.

We’re halfway through Season Two of Tough Love!

So we’re taking a hot minute to catch our breath and share part of the one off Live Show we did at the Sydney Opera House in March 2023. It was sold out and part of the esteemed All About Women festival. 

This conversation is about Making Tough Decisions. 

Linda is joined by some fascinating & funny friends - comedian Becky Lucas and journalist Kumi Taguchi. Hear why Linda feels guilty about everything, how Kumi held onto her dream job, and what Becky said to get her banned from a social media giant for life.   

Make sure you listen until the end to hear an ultra special guest who salsa dances her way on stage.
