In this raw and vulnerable episode, I open up about the unfiltered reality of motherhood burnout, the mental fatigue of balancing work with baby Pia, and the power of giving yourself grace.

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. ____________________________________________________________________________ Bec's socialsINSTA instagram.com/bec_zacTIKTOK tiktok.com/@beesnees555 My socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamaydinginstagram.com/ellaerapodcastTIKTOK tiktok.com/@emaydingWEBSITE ellamayding.com.au   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This might be one of my favourite chats to date for just how raw and real this week’s guest, Tilly Whitfeld was. We dive deep into her shocking cosmetic regrets, from getting veneers at 18 and suffering temporary blindness during a DIY freckle disaster, to surviving toxic Breast Implant Illness and navigating a miracle pregnancy following a devastating infertility diagnosis. 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.

In this highly anticipated episode, I sit down with one of the most quietly compelling contestants from Married at First Sight, David Momoh. From walking out of his final vows before Alissa could even finish her speech, to selling his MAFS wedding ring on Facebook Marketplace, no topic is off-limits. David drops truth bombs on hiding in the bathroom with Scott, to what it's really like to maintain your faith in "the depths of hell," and how his dating pool quadrupled overnight._________________________________________________________________________________ David's socialsINSTA instagram.com/davidxmomohTIKTOK tiktok.com/@david_momoh My socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamaydinginstagram.com/ellaerapodcastTIKTOK tiktok.com/@emaydingWEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.  ______________________________________________________________________________ His socialsINSTA instagram.com/drjustincoulsonWEBSITE happyfamilies.com.auPODCAST podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dr-justin-coulsons-happy-families/id1082244480 My socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamaydinginstagram.com/ellaerapodcastTIKTOK tiktok.com/@emaydingWEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.   My socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamaydinginstagram.com/ellaerapodcastTIKTOK tiktok.com/@emaydingWEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you still afraid of Creatine? In this episode I get Melbourne’s leading naturopath back on Lucas Aoun (Ergogenic Health) to cut through the noise. We’re talking about why every woman should be on Creatine, the reality of "bulking" myths, and why buying better salt might actually be worth it.

This week, it’s just you and me. I’m stripping it all back to talk about the reality of being a self-managed working mum. From the terrifying panic attack I had before my first in person event to how I'm keeping all the plates in the air, we’re diving deep. Plus, I answer your most-asked questions: Why did I stop breastfeeding? Is screen time actually a "no-go" for Pia? And how am I really doing with the post-baby relationship juggle?

You’ve seen her hilarious reenactments all over your FYP, and she’s bringing that energy to the mic. This week, I sat down with Katie Lamb, the voice of Triple M Perth and the genius behind those spot-on MAFS skits. We dive deep into the "unhinged" behavior of the latest season, Katie explains why certain contestants make for the perfect comedy fodder and how she manages to find humor in even the most "vile" situations. _____________________________________________________________________________ Her socials INSTA instagram.com/katielamb929/TIKTOK tiktok.com/@katielamb929 My socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamaydinginstagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week’s guest is perhaps the most perfectly fitted to a show about ‘eras’ ever. From the high-pressure stadium lights of the NRL to the rose ceremonies of The Bachelor, to Book-Toker, podcaster and most recently, a top-three finish in the jungle, Luke Bateman has lived many lives. But beneath the "Alpha" athlete exterior, Luke was a boy who hid his love for fantasy novels in locker room toilets and a man who fought a debilitating, million-dollar gambling addiction. Luke shares how he overcame all of that and the path he’s now on. _____________________________________________________________________________ His socialsINSTA instagram.com/lukebateman_/TIKTOK tiktok.com/@lukesreadsPODCAST In The Good Books My socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamaydinginstagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we’re hearing the other side of the story. After our explosive chat with Chris earlier this week, his other half, Sam Stanton, joins us to set the record straight. Sam, the Adelaide gym owner, and one half of MAFS 2026’s first gay intruder couple. While their wedding looked like a fairytale, the honeymoon phase didn't last long. Today, Sam opens up about the "slow burn" that frustrated Chris, the red flags he saw on the very first morning, and why he felt he had to bring a journal to the dinner table. We also discuss his support of Bec throughout the season and now after. ____________________________________________________________________________ His socials INSTA instagram.com/sammystants   My socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamaydinginstagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this explosive episode, MAFS Chris joins me to peel back the curtain on what wasn't shown that went down between him and Sam. From the shock of being called to get married with only a four-day turnaround to the heartbreak of two failed surrogacy attempts, Chris leaves nothing off the table. He reveals the crucial unseen footage that changed the context of his "defensive" behavior, the truth behind the bonfire breakup, and the regrets he carries regarding his friendship with the season's "arch-nemesis," Gia. This is the therapy session we both desperately needed. _______________________________________________________________________ His socials INSTA instagram.com/its.chris.robinson BUSINESSES Wave & WillowBody Skin Soul My socialsINSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamaydinginstagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I’m joined by certified naturopath and biohacking expert Lucas Aoun (founder of Ergogenic Health) to pull back the curtain on the industry. While influencers and celebrities are "glowing" on camera, Lucas reveals the good, bad and the interesting about the many trending peptides we’re hearing about online.

A couple of weeks back I got on mic to open up about how I've been feeling about sex recently whilst pregnant. I said I needed to get a sexologist on to answer all the questions I had and that listeners had asked too.

I took to my Instagram recently to ask my followers if they too felt some kind of way about sex and pregnancy – what I found was SO interesting. In this episode, I talk about my experience of how sex has changed for me since pregnancy (all the juicy details), and how to talk to your partner about it. I also share some useful tips and advice around connecting in ways where sex isn’t the end game, but intimacy and understanding still are.   My socials INSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamayding instagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You think you know Evelyn Ellis? Think again. She’s funny, she’s blunt, she’s a little bit chaotic… and she’s here to give us the behind-the-scenes on reality TV, relationships, and that transition from MAFS star to internet It-Girl with her weird community she adores. Warning: once you hear this side of Evelyn, you’ll never look at her the same way again.   Evelyn's links INSTAGRAM instagram.com/evelyn.ellis TIKTOK tiktok.com/@evelyn.ellis   My socials INSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamayding instagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Effie gets real about what it’s like to close the doors on a business, dust yourself off, and find the confidence to start again, this time on her own terms. From the highs of building a new fashion empire to the lows of morning sickness and swollen ankles, nothing is off limits. 🙃 Together, we laugh, vent, and bond over the not-so-sparkly side of pregnancy (spoiler: it’s not always glowing ✨). But in true Effie style, there’s plenty of sass, honesty, and empowerment along the way. A reminder that whether it’s business or babies, starting over can be your biggest power move   Effie's links INSTAGRAMS instagram.com/effiekats instagram.com/effiekatsofficial instagram.com/baysebrand TIKTOK tiktok.com/@effiekatsofficial  WEBSITE effiekats.com/ baysebrand.com/   My socials INSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamayding instagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
