It’s the night of Linda’s book launch, and emotions are flying. 

For the last two years, Linda’s been writing a memoir about family and relationships. While getting stuck into the process, Linda’s been digging into a big part of her personality: she is a life-long people pleaser. 

Linda turns to two close friends for guidance on how to live a more honest, unapologetic life and how to set boundaries while remaining compassionate. 

And before Linda can celebrate the release of her book, she needs to have an uncomfortable conversation with one of the main characters in it. 

Join Linda on her hilarious, raw and (sometimes) sad journey towards self-reflection and growth in a time of uncertainty.

Linda heads out of the city to check in on her fertility journey with a close ‘egg freezing’ friend. She makes a happy discovery while realising an important emotional lesson on control and expectations. How do we let go of things outside of our control? A new friend teaches us the philosophy of stoicism as Linda asks, how do we remain stoic in times of uncertainty? Why do the stoics say no to ‘hope’?

We’re halfway through Season Two of Tough Love!

So we’re taking a hot minute to catch our breath and share part of the one off Live Show we did at the Sydney Opera House in March 2023. It was sold out and part of the esteemed All About Women festival. 

This conversation is about Making Tough Decisions. 

Linda is joined by some fascinating & funny friends - comedian Becky Lucas and journalist Kumi Taguchi. Hear why Linda feels guilty about everything, how Kumi held onto her dream job, and what Becky said to get her banned from a social media giant for life.   

Make sure you listen until the end to hear an ultra special guest who salsa dances her way on stage.

Faced with the reality of her parents getting older, Linda realises that their time together is limited. With her move to the US on the horizon, Linda asks how can we navigate duty and loyalty from afar? How do we deal with our parents getting older?

When a lawyer gives Linda some hard truths about reuniting with Magnus, the future feels more uncertain than ever. Linda turns to her brother who dishes up some grounded advice and later reminisces about how she first met Magnus.

Determined, Linda asks how do we remain hopeful while embracing the unknown? An expert gives her real talk on finding peace (even just a little bit) when we can only expect the unexpected.
