  Episode 25: Lisa Dibb - Love Makes You A Mountaineer

  Aug 6, 20261h 1m

  Lisa Dibb met her husband Steven at a party; he turned to his best friend and said, "I'm going to marry her," before the two of them had even spoken. Forty years later, their story includes an infertility journey neither of them expected, and a decision that took them across the world and back, more than once. In this episode, the last in the current series, Lisa shares the real story behind the love, the heartbreak, and the family she and Steven built through adoption: two sisters from Ethiopia, and two brothers who arrived years apart, the youngest after a three-year legal fight that very nearly didn't end in their favour. Lisa is also one of the real-life storytellers featured in Trent Dalton's Love Stories , and speaks openly here about infertility, IVF, and what it actually takes to bring a family together against the odds. It's a conversation about love in its most stubborn, determined form, and a reminder, in Lisa's own words, that "love makes you a mountaineer."

  Episode 24: Jordhan Mullen - Out of Monologue, Into Dialogue

  Jun 30, 202639 min

  Jordhan Mullen is 22 years old, Carolyn's PA, and one of the most self-aware people you'll meet at any age. In this episode, Jordhan opens up about growing up with a mum who was unwell for as long as she can remember, a dad who worked around the clock to hold everything together, and a childhood where moving around meant her older sister was often her only constant. She talks about the unspoken rule that held her family together for years, not talking about it, and how that silence followed her into adulthood. About arriving at her mum's door as a kid only to be turned around and taken home without explanation. About blaming her dad for years before finally understanding why. Jordhan also shares the moment a best friend changed everything, the grief of losing her mum during COVID and missing the funeral, and the realisation that moving to Wollongong wasn't coping. It was deferring. Honest, tender, and quietly powerful, this conversation is a reminder that opening up isn't weakness. It's the whole point.
