What She Said and More

What does it really take to go from a small country town to the biggest moments in Australian media — without losing who you are along the way?In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode of What She Said, we sit down with journalist, presenter and surfer Katie Brown to talk about sport, media, women’s representation, burnout, courage, and the moments that quietly shape a life.Growing up in Grafton, NSW, Katie originally dreamed of becoming a PE teacher. What followed was a career she never could have planned — from reporting in Hervey Bay, working inside the NRL, covering elite sport, global events and entertainment, to becoming a familiar face on Channel 7’s Sunrise. Along the way, she’s challenged stereotypes, navigated male-dominated spaces, and launched her own platform Real Talk Media, dedicated to elevating conversations around women’s sport and athlete identity.This episode goes far beyond career highlights. Katie opens up about the real side of working in media — the pressure, the adrenaline, the comedowns, the criticism, and the constant learning curve. She speaks candidly about imposter syndrome, body image, female athletes’ health, and why representation in sport still has a long way to go.We also dive into the personal moments that shaped her most — including heartbreak, learning to slow down, discovering surfing as a form of meditation, and what happens when your job no longer gives you routine but demands presence. Katie reflects on self-worth, public perception, social media criticism, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who keep you grounded.And because this is What She Said, there’s plenty of humour along the way — from celebrity interviews with Snoop Dogg, Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds and Michael Bublé, to dating apps, potatoes (in all forms), tattoos that never existed, and some very revealing Would You Rather questions.In this episode, we talk about:• Growing up in a small country town and why sport was a lifeline• Breaking into media when you “can’t be what you can’t see”• Working in male-dominated sports environments• Women’s sport, body image, injury, and athlete health• Why so many girls stop playing sport — and how that’s changing• Burnout, adrenaline crashes and finding balance outside work• Surfing as therapy, meditation and mental reset• Interviewing A-list celebrities and what fame is really like• Navigating public criticism, tabloids and online commentary• Dating, boundaries and learning to love yourself again• Why you don’t need to dim your light to stay relatable• Creating your own timeline — personally and professionallyKatie’s story is proof that success doesn’t come from following a straight line — it comes from curiosity, courage, resilience, and backing yourself when the path feels unclear. Whether you’re interested in journalism, sport, women’s empowerment, mental health, or simply love honest conversations with people who don’t take themselves too seriously, this episode will stay with you long after it ends.Follow & Watch Katie Brown:📱 Instagram & TikTok: @katiebrown📺 Watch Katie on Channel 7’s Sunrise🎙️ Keep an eye out for the return of Real Talk MediaAbout What She SaidWhat She Said is a podcast built on real conversations, big laughs and meaningful stories — hosted by women who aren’t afraid to ask the questions everyone else is thinking.

This week in the Big Brother house, the chaos level is unprecedented.💨 Bruce’s Weaponised Wind:Farting is “NOT funny”… unless you’re Bruce, who somehow earned nomination points for tactical gas deployment. Impressive? Concerning? Both.👑 The Holly Dynasty Begins:Holly can’t remember Colin’s name (sorry, Connor), but she can run the house. She’s the new Head Housemate, smashed the budget, and may or may not have eaten caviar off her own skin.👕 Coco + Bruce = Too Close:Big Brother literally banned Bruce from taking his shirt off. His nipples have been declared a health hazard. Only in this house, honestly.☕ Coffee-Gate Erupts:Connor tries to restore order while everyone dry-scoops sadness. Meanwhile, Holly and Coco have a “secret stash” that is absolutely not secret because—newsflash—coffee has a smell.📞 Mia’s Telemarketing Era: She held full conversations this week with mirrors, screens, and a fake BB phone. Edward attempted an intervention. Unsuccessfully.🧹 Jane : She called out the boys for disrespect and then zoomed off like a witchy queen. 🍽️ Challenges, Tears & Questionable Beverages: Bruce and Jane battle in BB Eats, Mia’s nips salute Edward, and Coco cries when her kids call (same, honestly).Also… there was no long black in that cup. You cannot shake a coffee like a maraca.

This week on What She Said, we dive head-first into the mayhem erupting in the Big Brother 2025 house — and trust us, there’s plenty to unpack. From a record-breaking 20,000 applicants to a full return of the 24/7 livestream, the house is stacked, the drama is loud, and the egos are already clashing.We break down the BBFF Fashion Show, the hilarious meltdown over missing luggage (apparently “a human rights issue”), and the questionable hygiene choices — including whether Colin actually brushed his teeth with a toilet brush.Then it’s time to dissect the housemates:Connor, the resident chef with Tourette’s,Abs, already showing vulnerability and leadership,Holly, confident, stunning, and possibly the house’s new villain,Vinnie & Colin, the bromance-turned-love-triangle-that-now-isn’t,Bruce, the 70s-porn-star-looking tradie recovering from soy-induced man boobs,Mia, stirring debate on old-school gender roles,Michael, the self-appointed wealthy alpha stirring tension,And of course Groovy Granny Jane, the public’s pick and instant fan favourite.We cover the first kiss, the smooching scandal in the oversized bedroom, the accusations of gaslighting, conflicting stories, sleepwalking snack theft, the deadly-serious battle for Kit Kats, and whether Holly is selfish, clueless, or just accidentally rubbing everyone the wrong way.Finally, we look at the emotional cracks forming, including Colin’s breakdown after being voted “least intelligent,” the group’s early alliances, and Mum-ski’s attempt at strategic shopping on a painfully tiny budget.It’s only week one — and Big Brother has already delivered chaos, cattiness, and conversations that Australia will absolutely be arguing about online.SHOW YOUR SUPPORT – IT’S FREE!Follow us on ·       Instagram @whatshesaidau·       Facebook What She Said & More ·       TikTok @whatshesaidau You can also watch and subscribe to us over on YouTube @WhatSheSaidandMore WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!Whether you have a funny story to share, got a burningquestion you need 3 fabulous opinions on, or maybe you just need some advice onlife’s weirdest situations?

This week we are joined by the hilarious, unfiltered, and utterly fabulous Chrissy Hearn – aka Chrissy50andCranky.If you’ve ever scrolled TikTok late at night and stumbled across a woman ranting, laughing, falling over, or declaringherself “55 identifying as 49”… chances are, you’ve already met Chrissy. She’s built a community of women (and I’m sure, plenty of men too!) who love her no-BS honesty, self-deprecating humour, and colourful approach to life. Andlet’s just say — once you find her content, you never stop watching.In this episode of What She Said, Chrissy spills on:💬 The TikTok beginnings —how boredom during COVID spiralled into over 5,000 videos and a loyal following that cheers her on for every rant, fall, and fashion find.💬 The infamous “Ultimate Cruise” trip — what really happened when she had FOMO, signed up, and ended up meeting the one and only Christian Hull. (Hint: it includes a gondola, a rooftop, and a lot of screaming laughter).💬 Christian Hull shenanigans — from climbing things theyprobably shouldn’t, to recording their joint podcast We Will Always Have, Chrissy shares why their friendship works and how they keep each other constantly laughing.💬 Fashion after 50 — her love of colour, op-shopping, and the flat-out refusal to wear bland, boxy clothes just because she’s “of a certain age.”💬 Why women over 50 are done being invisible — and howsocial media has given her, and thousands of women like her, the platform to say: “We’re here, we’re loud, and we’re not apologising.”💬 The fart story — yes, we went there. Because according to Chrissy, if you can’t laugh at yourself when you fall over or let one slip, what are you even doing with your life?💬 “Would You Rather” chaos — our game segment that got very silly, very fast (and may or may not have ended in tears of laughter).💬 Cranky vs Not Cranky — the moments in Chrissy’s day-to-day that set her off, and the things that bring her joy. Spoiler: op-shops, wine, and cheeky adventures rank high.Chrissy is raw, real, and relatable to her core. She’s not here to sugarcoat life.
