Lisa Wilkinson: 'I knew these women had no one else to go to'

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. If you or a loved one needs support, please contact 1800 RESPECT. Your host today was Ruby Hall (⁠@rubytuesday2.0⁠), and the guest was Lisa Wilkinson (@lisa_wilkinson). Inherited is produced by Monica Vantilburg and executive-produced by Lucy Hunt. If you enjoyed this episode, click ‘follow’ on your favourite podcast app!
