Lyrella Couzens on an awkward trip to Sexyland, relationship red flags, and Darwin's wall of humidity.

Update: 2024-05-07

Description

Please note, This episode touches on drug use, self harm and has a few naughty words so be mindful around little ears.

Lyrella Couzins is a voice you might recognize if you listen to the radio on a Saturday morning. She fell in love with Darwin the moment she walked off the plane and hit the wall of humidity, and she’s never looked back.

A mum of two, Lyrella’s story spans two marriages, two divorces, two kids with ADHD, a kid in the Cowdy ward twice, dealing with drugs, vapes, and a failing education system.

Despite going through a year from hell, Lyrella is exceedingly positive for what 2024 will have to offer for her and her kids, with a few lighthearted stories in between and plenty of giggles.
