Renos & curated corners… she’s deep in her interior‑design era. PLUS, if you missed it on the show: Raising Boys, Rethinking Character: Dr Justin Coulson joins the show to unpack the surprising challenges boys are facing today. He explains that boys often start school developmentally behind girls in areas like regulation, attention, and organisation, which leads to higher suspension rates, lower engagement, and long‑term academic struggles. He highlights teacher bias, the widening gender gap in university enrolments, and the growing value of trades for boys who don’t thrive in traditional schooling. His core message: boys stay connected to learning when they feel purpose, and parents should focus on helping them find environments- academic or hands‑on - where they can be productive, motivated, and confident.

The top‑five list is revealed, and it sparks a delicious deep dive into cultural food, comfort meals, and the dishes that feel like home.
