    MAFS, Julia breaks down the “blatant lies” and finding new love

    A bonus episode for your weekend! I am joined by current MAFS bride, Julia Vogl, for a conversation that is as unfiltered as it gets. Julia isn't holding back as she breaks down the "blatant lies" shown on screen, including what really happened with that infamous anniversary letter. Julia also opens up about Grayson's "hot-headed" and "abrasive" behaviour that was left on the cutting room floor and why she feels her character was "obliterated" and why the show’s portrayal of her sexuality was "misunderstood". ______________________________________________________________ HER SOCIALS INSTA instagram.com/juliavogl_/ WEBSITE juliavogl.com.au/ MY SOCIALS INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/ellamayding PODCAST IG: instagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK: tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE: ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    This week we are joined by the unfiltered fan-fave Jamie Marinos to unpack the time that has passed since her season of MAFS, what she’s been up to and her plans for the future.

    Getting criticised for returning to work postpartum with Abbey Holmes

    This week we are joined by the absolute powerhouse that is Abbey Holmes. I sat down with her the week before footy was back to chat about the juggle of being a sports broadcasting icon and a new mum. I asked her about the backlash she got last year coming back to work (and the support) and about THAT kiss on the cheek with Lachie Neale. This episode is for anyone trying to find their balance, chase their version of greatness, and ignore the noise along the way. _________________________________________________ Ella’s Socials INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/ellamayding PODCAST IG: instagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK: tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE: ellamayding.com.au Abbey’s Socials INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/abbeycholmes BLINDSIDE: blindside.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Peptide Era; Everyone is on it. 💉

    We’re talking body trends, peptides 💉, and the messy return of “skinny culture.” I’m getting real about my experience biohacking with peptides, why influencers aren’t talking about their usage and how “Skinny Tok” is affecting us all. I’m joined by Dr. Brad McKay (yep, from Embarrassing Bodies. He is also an experienced GP, science communicator, and author) to break down what peptides are, why people are buying them online and why they aren’t approved yet 🤯. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s the trend everyone is scared to talk about right now ✨. _______________________________________________________________________ DR BRAD MCKAY’S LINKS WEBSITE: drbradmckay.com.au INSTA: @drbradmckay FACEBOOK: Dr Brad McKay ___________________________________________________________ My socials INSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamayding instagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    A quick word from me on the Bonnie Blue interview...

    Honestly, I think it's disappointing how hard it's become to have real conversations without getting torn down for it. Just know that curiosity isn't endorsement and conversation isn't agreement.

    💙The BONNIE BLUE era

    I’ll be honest... I was nervous to sit down with Bonnie Blue, given she’s one of the most googled women in the world, as well as one of the most controversial. I wanted to have a very honest & open conversation about her life and work in the adult content industry and try to understand why she does what she does. I wanted to steer away from the usual questions and learn something new and different about her. If these topics aren't for you, listener discretion is strongly advised! Bonnie's documentary '1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story' is out on Stan now. And just a reminder... interviewing a guest on this platform is not an endorsement of their views or actions.

    Just finished the Bonnie Blue doco… 👀

    Okay... we need to talk about this doco 😳 I had SO many thoughts, from the business side of it all to how she used shock as currency.
