Monday, July 20, 2026 • Duration 52:32
Welcome back to another completely unfiltered episode of The Ella Era! You all know this podcast has always been about going way deeper than the reality TV headlines, and this week I’m sitting down with Bec Zacharia to uncover the raw, messy truth about life after the cameras stopped rolling. We dive into how she is navigating therapy and body dysmorphia today. Bec even pulls out her phone to read the exact, final text messages exchanged with her ex Danny, exposing the dramatic breaking point of their relationship once and for all.
We also tackle the internet-breaking news surrounding her recent trip to Bali for that $14k "snatched waist" rib-contouring surgery AND we react to the latest bombshells currently blowing up our feeds, from Gia’s shock pregnancy to Stella and Filip’s sudden breakup.

She also opens up completely about a traumatic emergency C-section where she fell off the operating table mid-labor, her struggles with eating disorders, and navigating severe postpartum depression and intrusive thoughts as a new mom.

Welcome back to the Ella Era! In this episode, I sit down with the talk of the town: Lily Phillips, Only Fans headliner and breakout star of Stan’s brand-new hit reality docudrama, Turned On: Dirty Sexy Money.
We dive headfirst into the reality TV chaos, the mental gymnastics of on-screen arguments, and why Lily actually welcomes internet trolls for her business algorithm. Plus, Lily shares the wildly bizarre behind-the-scenes details of her custom requests- including what producers made her do for that infamous "cake-sitting” scene.
Finally, Lily reveals a massive personal shift in 2026: why she is returning to her faith, getting baptised, and enforcing a strict new boundary that has completely changed her content. You do not want to miss this one!

The Physiological Cost of Going Viral - Dr Justin Coulson explains
Monday, June 22, 2026 • Duration 33:29
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Australia’s most trusted parenting expert, author, and psychologist, Dr. Justin Coulson. He breaks down the terrifying neurobiology of public scrutiny and trolling, explaining why high emotions equal low intelligence- and why your brain literally starves itself of oxygen when you’re under online attack.
Finally, we dive into the digital battleground our kids are facing. As a dad of six daughters, Justin delivers some hard-hitting, candid truths about the shockingly early age Australian kids are being exposed to violent online pornography.
You’ll hear Julie Inman-Grant is also featured on this episode as I reflect on a conversation I had with her last year about this topic. If you are a parent, a creator, or just someone trying to survive the lawless wasteland of the internet, this episode is an urgent wake-up call.

The Reality of Reality TV: Stalkers, Death Threats & Last-Minute Cancellations
Wednesday, June 3, 2026 • Duration 27:12
I tackle the topic of the reality of Reality TV and online bullying, it's a topic that has been weighing heavily on my chest all week. Triggered by back-to-back, last-minute guest cancellations from reality TV personalities who are simply "not okay," I strip back the glitz of instant celebrity to expose the brutal mental health toll of online life.
From cyberbullying and toxic "pile-ons" to the chilling reality of death threats, I unpack the blurred line between true public accountability and outright cruelty. She gets deeply personal, opening up about her own battles with defamatory TikTok pages, navigating a year-long stalker file, and she officially sets the record straight on her emotional Mother’s Day reconnection with fellow MAFS Alum.
