TEA WITH JULES

Welcome to the first Current Life Edit, a brand new kind of episode where Jules and her manager and friend Lisa Johnston pull back the curtain on exactly what's going on in their lives, in real time. No guest, no script, just a handful of honest questions and wherever the answers take them. It's the kind of unfiltered, feet up chat you have with your best mate, and it might all change by next week.In this first edit, the girls get into what's actually giving them energy right now (sunshine, pools and saunas for Jules, a secret sugar free Red Bull for Lisa), and what's quietly draining them, from the dreaded ten o'clock "what's for dinner" text to a brain that feels like the spinning wheel of death that never lands on anything. They talk about the mental load of scheduling exercise, the chaos of signing the kids up for too many sports, and the generational rabbit hole that ends with Jules realising she's not actually a millennial. There's a lot of laughing, a little existential spiralling, a surprising new love of watching footy ahead of the grand final, and a genuinely lovely thread about wanting more time, more books and more hours to help other people.Pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in.CHAPTERS00:00 — Welcome to Current Life Edit: Life in Real Time 00:54 — What's Giving Us Energy: Sunshine, Pools and Saunas 02:42 — Lisa's Confession: The Secret Sugar Free Red Bull 05:46 — Holding On for Daylight Savings and Longer Days 06:41 — What's Draining Us: The 10am "What's For Dinner" Text 08:02 — The Spinning Wheel of Death: A Brain That Never Stops 09:50 — Are We Millennials?

In this episode of Tea with Jules, Jules is joined by Lisa Johnston for a very honest, very relatable conversation about the emotional whiplash of school returning. Routines, exhaustion, expectations, and the quiet pressure parents put on themselves (and their kids) without even realising it.There’s laughter, vulnerability, a few parenting confessions that may sting a little, and plenty of moments where you’ll think, oh wow.. that’s me. This episode is for anyone who’s navigating school drop-offs, parenting guilt, changing seasons of family life, or trying to learn how to guide their kids without controlling them. Because sometimes the hardest part of parenting is learning when to hold on and when to let go.Enjoy xConnect with JulesGet Jules’ Newsletter – a letter each week with personal antidotes, recipes, fashion, cocktails, podcast episodesJules Best Selling Book – Tea & HonestlyWatch Tea with Jules on YouTubeFollow Jules on InstagramFollow Tea with Jules on InstagramFollow Jules on TikTokSubscribe to Tea with Jules the Podcast in iTunesCredits:Sound Engineer & Music: @kailesh_reitmansVideographer & Editor: @nathan_niguidulaProducer: @lisajohnston_ @julessebastianWelcome to Tea with Jules hosted by Jules Sebastian.
