Sarah's Thoughts: The Hidden Grief in Watching Your Kids Grow Up
There are no warning bells. No calendar reminder that says: This is it, the last time. You just notice one day that your child no longer reaches for your hand. Or climbs into your lap. Or wants the story they once begged you to read every night. In this week's Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg reflects on the invisible endings that come with raising children, the quiet ways they outgrow us, not out of malice, but momentum. These are not milestones we celebrate, but moments that linger in the heart. The ache of it lives in the ordinary. And we don’t talk about it enough. Because while we prepare for their firsts, no one prepares us for their lasts. You’ll learn:*Why the hardest part of parenting isn’t the chaos, but the letting go.*How to navigate the shifting role of parenthood with grace and strength.*What it means to hold space when you’re no longer the centre of their world. In this episode you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how to hold onto what matters, even as you learn to let go. Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.

Andy Allen: Grief, Growth, and the Side of Fame We Rarely See
Do you ever daydream about leaving your job and turning your passion into your career? Andy Allen went from a fourth-year apprentice electrician with no clear path to becoming one of Australia’s most beloved MasterChef winners and judges. But behind the effortless charm and foodie fame lies a story marked by unexpected pivots, personal reckoning, and the kind of loss that reshapes everything. In this open-hearted conversation, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Andy to explore how a dare turned into a calling, how he rebuilt his identity after grief, and why he believes happiness, not fame, is the true marker of a great life. You’ll learn: *Why grief after the death of best friend Jock Zonfrillo changed how he lives and loves. *What MasterChef taught him about pressure, purpose, and presence. *The small daily habit that keeps his mental health in check. *Why being a great husband, and future father now drives everything he does. This conversation provides an excellent reminder that it's not about what you do, but who you become in the process.

Sarah's Thoughts: Can Schools Control What Happens After Hours?
Should schools be able to punish students for things they do outside the classroom? In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores the controversial new rule in Victoria, Australia that gives schools the power to suspend or expel students for what happens off school grounds, even online or on the weekend. Through her signature lens of reflection and heart, she asks a bigger question: Are we shaping behaviour through fear of consequence, or through the quiet cultivation of character? You’ll learn: *Why true values are built outside the classroom, not within it.*How integrity shows up in unseen moments.*The mean comment your child posts on a Friday night might feel small in the moment, but it can have lasting consequences when they walk back into school on Monday. This episode isn’t just about school policy. It’s about what kind of people we’re helping raise and who we’re choosing to be ourselves. Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.
