Bianca Dye is a trailblazer for women working in Australian radio and a breath of fresh air for any woman who listens to her.

That’s because what you see and what you hear, is exactly who she is. She’s warm, cheeky, funny and so, so real about everything going on in her life: from mental health issues to her fertility struggles. You feel like she’s your best friend. Lucky for me, she’s been in my circle since we worked together at Nova in Sydney.

Bianca’s a three-time winner of Australia’s Best Radio Personality and, over a 20-year broadcasting career, has entertained listeners on major radio networks across Australia, with a number 1 rating breakfast show on the ARN network. She’s anchored her own show on Foxtel and is a regular on commercial TV.

Comedian Merrick Watts makes millions of people happy. I’m lucky enough to have laughed with him on a daily basis - we co-hosted a number one breakfast show together on the Nova network in Sydney for around six years. He was one half of the hugely successful comedic duo Merrick and Rosso and it somehow ended up as my job on the show to keep them in line. Not really sure I succeeded!

As well as comedy, Merrick’s acted on Hollowmen and Underbelly and is a regular on TV shows like Thank God You’re Here and The Project. Now, he’s literally invented his dream job with his business Grapes of Mirth: taking comedy to wineries.

Now this episode was such a treat for me. Firstly we kind of got to relive being on radio together. But behind the comedic façade, Merrick is a really deep thinker who’s not afraid of sharing his vulnerabilities and I knew he would have some really great insights on confidence.

At just 25 she’s made history as the youngest person in the world to run Ultra Marathons on all seven continents.

These races are NOT for the faint hearted. We’re talking running for five to seven hours each day through deserts and snow while carrying all your food and equipment and dealing with crippling injuries.

For nearly a decade, Edwina Bartholemew’s beautiful smiling face has greeted millions of people on the Seven Network’s breakfast show Sunrise.

She’s not only had to be bright-eyed before the rest of us have woken up properly, but able to turn on a dime at short notice for whatever live television will throw at her: from the Olympics, to red carpet events to natural disasters.
