Welcome to the first Current Life Edit, a brand new kind of episode where Jules and her manager and friend Lisa Johnston pull back the curtain on exactly what's going on in their lives, in real time. No guest, no script, just a handful of honest questions and wherever the answers take them. It's the kind of unfiltered, feet up chat you have with your best mate, and it might all change by next week.
In this first edit, the girls get into what's actually giving them energy right now (sunshine, pools and saunas for Jules, a secret sugar free Red Bull for Lisa), and what's quietly draining them, from the dreaded ten o'clock "what's for dinner" text to a brain that feels like the spinning wheel of death that never lands on anything. They talk about the mental load of scheduling exercise, the chaos of signing the kids up for too many sports, and the generational rabbit hole that ends with Jules realising she's not actually a millennial.
There's a lot of laughing, a little existential spiralling, a surprising new love of watching footy ahead of the grand final, and a genuinely lovely thread about wanting more time, more books and more hours to help other people.
Pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in.
