TEA WITH JULES

When I first heard Dr Hayley Watson speak at an event, I had no idea that we wouldlater partner up to help thousands of kids in Australia with their mental health.Through the work of her in-school mental health program, Open Parachute, and the support of The Sebastian Foundation, we have been able to touch the lives ofthousands of kids throughout Australia. In this very special episode of Tea With Jules, I sit down with Dr Hayley to hear her own story with overcoming big life challenges and why that fuelled her passion to help others. She shares her entry into studying Clinical Psychology and her PhD in school bullying interventions. We cover off the work we are doing together, and she offers up some invaluable advice on helping ourselves and others through various stages of mental health.There are some serious pearls of wisdom and take away moments through this whole chat. I came for the tea, but left with some pretty life altering perspective. I hope you enjoy the episode with Dr Hayley Watson.For more info on Open Parachute:https://www.openparachute.com.au/about-hayley/The Sebastian Foundation:https://thesebastianfoundation.orgFollow:https://www.instagram.com/julessebastian/https://www.instagram.com/tea_with_jules/Watch:https://www.youtube.com/@JulesSebastianChannelSubscribe:https://julessebastian.com/pages/sign-upRead:https://www.booktopia.com.au/tea-honesty-jules-sebastian/book/CREDITS:Sound Engineer & Music: @kailesh_reitmansVideographer & Editor: @nathan_niguidulaProducer: @lisajohnston_ @julessebastianWelcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian.

(Sept. 29, 2019) Tash Sefton is a fashion and online business force. Her website  Where Did Your Style Go teaches us how love clothes and how to love ourselves in them.When she joined me on Tea with Jules, I was not expecting the conversation to take the course it did – but I couldn’t have been more happy with where we went. We got down to the real deal and talked about topics that affect us all. Social media is something I have been thinking a lot about lately and have been trying to navigate my way through feelings of overwhelm and insecurity, so I was happy when Tash opened up to share her thoughts around living her life online, and how she found her true calling after hitting rock bottom.We talk about ageing in a ‘forever young’ industry and how Tash views this as a positive and uses it to learn and know more. Tash is at a fearless place in her life, and it shows. She is unstoppable. This is a powerful conversation and I think is an important one for all of us to hear.Now go grab your cuppa and listen in.Here is Tash Sefton for Tea with Jules The Podcast.For the visuals:TEA WITH JULESFor more on TashWhere Did Your Style GoInstagramWelcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian.

(June 21, 2021) Steve Cordony is a master of interior style and life styling. What a treat to have him for my latest episode of Tea with Jules. I first met Steve when he waved his magic style wand over our house for a shoot we did with Belle Magazine Australia where he sits as Style Director at Large. He struck me as kind, generous with information and meticulous with his impeccable taste, and he has absolutely lived up to that first impression. With so many of us spending so much time at home right now, it is lovely to hear Steve talk about how he gives his home a soul. Steve shares with me how growing up he always felt that coming out, might be a risk or an unachievable dream to have his own perfect image of home life. Remaining neutral, was safer. He believes that everything happens for a reason at the right time, and with a moment of complete honesty with himself and those around him, he was released into his truest identity. Once he stepped into that, the sky has been the limit.We talk about the secret sauce of a successful relationship, what is the soul, finding purpose and of COURSE I wouldn’t let him get away without asking him some very important home styling questions!I loved this chat and Steve’s wonderful insight into life, love and career. He is a true gem-I hope you enjoy too. Oh, and please check out his and Michael’s current dream home renovation Rosedale Farm.

(April 24, 2021) ‘I don’t know what’s on the other side of this, but I trust that I can pick up the pieces’ My next guest on Tea with Jules is surfing legend and my friend from the south coast, Sally Fitzgibbons.  I remark this in the interview what strikes me the most about this wonderful woman, and it’s her true depth. Sally is an athlete by trade but a seeker by heart. She is in constant learning from the world around her and any conversation with her leaves you feeling uplifted and inspired.  Her relationship with the ocean is spiritual and you can see the profound impact it has on her life both when she is surfing it’s waves or watching on as she reads and anticipates what mother nature will do next. It’s her meditation, her connection and her power.  We speak about fear, permission to pause, our addiction to forward momentum and the brilliance in the ordinary. We really go there and I can honestly say, this has been one of my most favourite chats to date.  I can’t wait for you to tune in and see what this sun kissed, smiling slice of sunshine has to offer us. I promise you will finish wanting to either take your shoes off and find some sand, or exchange some, as Sal calls it ‘intentional energy’ with someone you love. Go grab a cuppa and enjoy Sally Fitzgibbons on Tea with Jules. xxFor the visual of the chat:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=791QHi3N1nE&t=10sWelcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian.

They quite literally light up every room they walk into.Both from a background in TV presenting they were moved by the stories of young people's struggles with low self-esteem, social media battles, and unhealthy lifestyles.

The movement has been life-changing for teenager girls who get to meet Liv & Teigs amongst other inspiring speakers who give them advice and guidance on health and wellbeing, social media, goal setting, fitness, and choosing healthy relationships.

(Feb. 11, 2021) CALLING ALL PARENTS! This is a special Tea with Jules episode just for you. Trust me – get your pen and paper out and takes some notes on this one. Maggie Dent joins me for an insightful and in-depth conversation on (one of the toughest jobs of all) parenting. She is known as Australia’s favourite parenting authors and educators and it is easy to see why. Her warmth, calm nature and wisdom had me hanging off her every word.Maggie has written 11 books on all things parenting and hosts the ABC podcast ‘Parental as Anything’. Her website is an incredible resource helping us all to navigate the many challenges we face as parents. A mum of FOUR boys, and an engaged grandmum, Maggie’s life experience covers teaching, counselling, working in palliative care, funeral services and suicide prevention. From this Maggie has come to advocate for the healthy, common-sense raising of children in order to strengthen families and communities.I reached to my community for their burning questions for Maggie and I tried my best to cover off as much as I could in our chat. We cover a lot of ground. From toddler tantrums, parental pauses, co-parenting as a team, her roosters and lamb theory, screen time and teaching our kids to be safe digital citizens, singing silly songs, structure, predictability and boundary’s, helping our teenagers find their spark, modelling behaviour for our kids and probably the highlight…..why Maggie is sending me into fart training! The bottom line of this conversation is, the best thing we can ever do for our kids is to love them fiercely and unconditionally. Oh – and Maggie’s parting words to all parents everywhere – YOU’VE GOT THIS.Please, if you are a parent or know a parent who might need some sound, sensible advice in raising their kids (that’s all of us right?!), watch this interview. Then watch it again. The link is in my stories or search Tea with Jules on YouTube.Enjoy xFor all things Maggie:https://www.maggiedent.comFor Tea with Jules in visual form:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWR9y1nK99wWelcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian.

(Feb. 10, 2021) What an exciting day this is! Due to many reasons (COVID lockdowns, the world turning upside-down, writing a book, raising 2 boys and well…life!) it has been over a year since I shared a Tea with Jules episode with you all. Late last year I felt the time was right to boil the kettle again and invite people into my home to have honest, heartfelt conversations about life, love and career.  My first guest is my dear friend Sam Moran. He has been a children’s entertainer for 22 years, bringing joy and fun to our homes via his show ‘Play Along with Sam’ and his time as the yellow Wiggle.  What I love about this chat with Sam is his openness about all the stages and phases of his life so far. He talks about the power of letting things go, how smart kids really are and the level of sincerity they need from their entertainers. Sam also, opens up about his relationship with depression over the years and how important it is to deal with the ‘meh’ feeling that can creep in slowly. I can’t tell you how much I learn about people and about myself through these conversations. It’s not just sharing tea, it’s a ceremony of exchange – human to human. I love that we are back in the Tea with Jules saddle and that we get to experience this together.  Follow the link in my stories to watch the full episode or listen to the podcast. #teawithjulesWatch Tea with Jules here!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIo6T3iI71wWelcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian.

(Oct. 19, 2019) Continuing along with our brave series on Tea with Jules, I could not go past the story of my next guest.  As we sat and shared our tea, I was more and more taken with her tale of courage, determination and passion. Rabia Siddique begins her story in suburban Perth growing up as a Muslim. Her life changed forever when she became the victim of abuse and decided at a very early that she wanted to dedicate herself to helping others access justice in a way that she wasn’t able to as a little girl. She committed herself to helping others find their voice. The law was her vehicle. After joining the British Army as a military lawyer, she served in Iraq and was sent to negotiate the release of two kidnapped British soldiers. I’ll let Rabia finish sharing what unfolded while in negotiations. It’s an edge of your seat kind of moment.Rabia believes her higher purpose and calling is to serve people who live in parts of the world where they can’t access justice and equality is a foreign concept. What a purpose! She lives this calling out with a conviction that is rare and important for humanity. I decided to split this episode into two parts as Rabia’s story is detailed and beautiful and I didn’t want you to miss a thing. The next episode will follow soon. This is the epic journey of a brave woman, soldier, Muslim and mother. To really grasp the intensity of Rabia’s life, you really have to sit and absorb this conversation. So please, make your cuppa really hot, and enjoy PART 1.For the visuals on this episodehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe1dqLjt6pUWelcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian.
