Luke Bateman: Diving Inwards, Life In The Jungle & Writing His Way Forward

Breaking My Neck, Losing Myself, and Finding My Way Back

This week on our new season of So Alli… I’m sharing one of the most personal episodes I’ve ever recorded. From a relationship that slowly made me lose myself, to the partying and pain that eventually led to me breaking my neck… to the depression, recovery, and re-building that came after it all. This episode is about the darkest chapter of my life, but also the beginning of finding my way back to myself again & igniting the next, brightest chapter of my life. I talk openly about the mental toll of serious injury, healing emotionally while recovering physically, and learning to navigate life with chronic pain & my diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia. But more than anything, this episode is about resilience, growth, and choosing to keep going. If you’ve ever felt lost, broken, anxious, stuck, or like you’re rebuilding your life from the ground up… I hope this conversation reminds you that you’re not alone!! 🤍 Love Alli x Follow Alli Simpson on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/allisimpson], TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@allisimpson?lang=en] & YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/soalli].

Luke Bateman: Diving Inwards, Life In The Jungle & Writing His Way Forward

This week on So Alli, we sit down with Luke Bateman — the kind of human the world needs more of.  We start with a 10 question “Get To Know Luke” deep dive. We also move through the moments before anyone was watching, to surviving the jungle on this season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here (on channel 10), to finding purpose and healing through writing.  Luke opens up about vulnerability, addiction, love, and what it really takes to rebuild yourself. We dive into the personal stories that shaped him, the challenges that tested him, the moments that broke him and the lessons that are guiding him into his next chapter — including his new incredibly successful BookTok journey and an exciting new book deal with Simon & Schuster. This is an episode about honesty, growth, and choosing to keep going — and it’s packed with laughs, love, reflections, and moments that will stay with you long after the conversation ends.  I hope this episodes stays with you as much as it has stayed with me.    ALL THINGS LUKE: • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukebateman_/ [https://www.instagram.com/lukebateman_/] • TikTok — BookTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lukesreads/ [https://www.tiktok.com/@lukesreads/] • Podcast — In The Good Books with Luke Bateman: – Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inthegoodbooks_podcast/ [https://www.instagram.com/inthegoodbooks_podcast/] – TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@inthegoodbooks_podcast/ [https://www.tiktok.com/@inthegoodbooks_podcast/]   Follow Alli Simpson on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/allisimpson], TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@allisimpson?lang=en] & YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/soalli].

Harry Jowsey Pt 2: Let’s Marry Harry, Sex Talk & One Too Many Laughs

This week on So Alli, we continue the chaos from Harry’s episode last week — and somehow… it’s even spicier. Harry Jowsey is back and giving me exclusive tea on his upcoming Netflix show Let’s Marry Harry — and yes, this is the most he’s spoken about it so far. We dive deeper into getting to know Harry, continue the segment from Pt. 1, and then things take a sharp turn into a little hot seat sex talk, followed by laughs that were so hard it made our stomachs hurt. Expect zero filters, surprise bomb drops (as always from Harry LOL), and nonstop banter. This episode is utterly chaotic, honest, and way too fun.  Enjoy babes, until next time on SO ALLI.  Follow Alli Simpson on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/allisimpson], TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@allisimpson?lang=en] & YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/soalli].

Harry Jowsey Pt. 1: Unhinged Confessions, Blasts From The Past & Insane Tea

Harry Jowsey is BACK - and boy did we have a lot to catch up on. After not seeing each other for three years, this episode turns into the ultimate catch-up, debrief, and chaos-filled hour you didn’t know you needed. In Part 1 (of 2), Harry drops a wild story from our past that he’s never told ME or anyone publicly before. He spills some INSANE TEA, and reacts to some of the biggest rumours swirling around him right now — including whether he’s actually dating Anna Paul. We also get into the inside scoop of what Harry knows about the internet-breaking Brisbane Lions affair scandal involving ex co-captain Lachie Neale, plus how being adjacent to viral drama really works behind the scenes. Between the laughs, the shocks & our nonstop banter, we also slow it down and get to know Harry on a deeper level — from his past, to how he’s changed, to the parts of himself people don’t usually see online. It’s chaotic, unfiltered, hilarious & somehow heartfelt all at the same time. This is a no-filter, So Alli kind of conversation & this is only Part 1. Trust me… it only gets wilder from here. Buckle up babes... & enjoy!!
