Lisa Wilkinson: 'I knew these women had no one else to go to'
About this episode
Lisa Wilkinson shares her life lessons and experiences in journalism amidst public scrutiny.
Hello! Today, we have an extra-special Life Lessons episode with one of Australia’s most well-recognised and formidable journalists, Lisa Wilkinson. Lisa’s career in media spans over four decades: for 10 years, she co-hosted Nine’s Today Show alongside Karl Stefanovic, before becoming a regular host on Network 10's The Project, a role she held until 2022. In recent years, Lisa has faced public backlash, navigating a highly publicised court case. Today, she shares how her 3 Life Lessons and new book, The Titanic Story of Evelyn, have grounded her amid the scrutiny. She also speaks about becoming the editor of Dolly Magazine at just 21, facing heartbreak in her early thirties, the moment she feared she might never have children, and how everything changed when she met her now-husband, Peter FitzSimons. If you’d like to support Lisa, you can buy her new book The Titanic Story of Evelyn here, or at any good bookstore! This conversation touches on themes of abuse, so please listen with care.
