"Hair is everything"
🎙 New pod with Madeleine Gottlieb

This week on the pod, I spoke with Madeleine Gottlieb — an award-winning director, producer, screenwriter, and one of my oldest friends.
I met Mads when I was five. She was the smartest person I’d ever met, with the bluest eyes and the most commanding presence.
We were a couple of drama kids. And listening back to this conversation on a walk this week, I realised, we still are.
We talk about morning rituals, meditation, ADHD, therapy, why Mads’ word for 2025 scares her, and how cutting off all her hair at a roadside barber in Hobart turned out to be the best thing she ever did.
I loved this chat. It’s messy and raw and it made me smile. It also made me want to be braver. To be more myself.
Because over the last decade, Mads has stopped hiding. She’s learning to live, fully and honestly, as who she truly is.

And if it charms you, share it with a friend!
