BONUS EPISODE: When back to normal isn’t always what our kids need after loss

Monday, May 4, 2026 • Duration 42:49

There’s so much pressure to get back to normal after something life-changing.

As adults… we learn to step away.

From conversations that don’t feel right.

From people who say the wrong thing.

From environments that feel too heavy.

But kids don’t always have that choice.

They sit in classrooms.

They hear comments.

They carry expectations they don’t understand —

from people who think they’re helping.

And slowly… it builds.

Not because they’re not coping —

but because they haven’t been given the space to.

This episode is just me…

talking about that pressure,

and why “back to normal” isn’t always the safest place for a child to land.

They Told Us to Prepare for Palliative Care… But we chose to fight for Louie

Wednesday, April 22, 2026 • Duration 01:54:57

In this episode of In the Heart of the Vault, Nicola shares the deeply personal journey that began when her baby boy Louie was born prematurely at 32 weeks.

Just days after his birth, Louie’s intestine twisted and strangulated, leaving only 8cm of small intestine able to be saved after multiple emergency surgeries.

Nicola and her husband were told to prepare for palliative care.

They were warned that continuing treatment could prolong suffering and that letting him go may be the kinder option.

But Nicola trusted her instinct as a mother.

What followed was eight months in hospital, navigating life in survival mode, making impossible decisions, and learning how to advocate for their son while holding their family together.

Today, Louie is exceeding expectations.

This conversation explores the raw reality of motherhood in medical crisis, the grief parents carry behind closed doors, the strength it takes to advocate for your child, and the deep trust that can grow when you learn to listen to your intuition.

Nicola shares what it means to walk through uncertainty, resilience, and the parts of motherhood that are rarely spoken about.

On The Other Side Of Addiction: With Amanda Lockyer

Sunday, November 30, 2025 • Duration 01:50:40

✨ New Episode — with Amanda from @AddictionMakesthree

This conversation opens the vault on the side of addiction most people never talk about — the impact it has on the partners, the families, and the people silently holding everything together behind closed doors.

Amanda shares the hidden reality of living alongside someone in addiction:

the chaos, the hyper-vigilance, the constant checking, the broken trust, the cancelled plans, the emotional whiplash, and the feeling of slowly losing yourself in someone else’s struggle.

She speaks for anyone who has ever found themselves asking:

“Is tonight going to be okay?”

“Can I trust what they’re saying?”

“Why do I feel like I’m the problem?”

“How did their addiction turn me into someone I don’t even recognise anymore?”

This episode isn’t about blaming.

It’s about understanding the emotional cost of living with addiction — any addiction — and the toll it takes on your identity, your stability, and your sense of safety.

It’s for the people who love deeply, carry silently, and finally reach the moment they realise:

Life After the Unthinkable: With Phoebe Stuart

Sunday, November 23, 2025 • Duration 01:42:19

This conversation hit differently.

You know those episodes where it doesn’t feel like an interview — it feels like two women sitting together, soul-to-soul, honouring the truth of what life can take… and what it can give back?

Phoebe Stuart’s life changed in a single moment.

First year of uni. Healthy. Happy. Future laid out in front of her.

Then — an unexpected medical emergency that placed her in ICU for five weeks and set off a chain of consequences most of us can’t imagine living through.

Phoebe became a triple amputee.

She was left legally blind.

Her body was burned, traumatised, reshaped.

And then… she rebuilt everything.

She became a lawyer.

A public speaker.

A mentor.

A mother.

A woman who leads with grace, humour, perspective and fire.

This isn’t a story about tragedy — it’s a story about choosing life every day, even when life doesn’t look like what you planned.

It is one of the most open, honest, belly-to-belly conversations I’ve had inside In the Heart of the Vault.

https://www.simoneobrien.com.au/

Today, she uses her voice to raise awareness, to educate, and to remind survivors that there is life after violence. Her message is one of strength, hope, and unwavering courage.

This is not just a story about what was taken from her — it’s a story about what she rebuilt, and the lives she continues to touch.
