Hey, legends! Today on the show, we bring you the formidable Kylie Brown. Kylie is in the public eye, partly, because her husband Jonathan Brown is a well-known former AFL star and radio personality. But it’s what Kylie has managed to do with her profile and platform that has blown us away. After struggling with chronic endometriosis for two decades, and undergoing no less than nine surgeries - including a hysterectomy at 34 - to manage her condition, Kylie opened an Instagram account to track her journey and spread awareness about endo. In this chat, we talk about Kylie’s battle with her body so far, and why she decided to run a marathon when the odds were well and truly stacked against her. For more from Kylie, follow her on Instagram at @endo.runner. If you enjoyed this episode, we recommend you check out our chat with fellow endo warrior Bridget Hustwaite.

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5PwGumOnjhUbz2vNtWkQdS?si=90750de4c18e40ec A very happy Saturday to you, book club friends!!! This month, we’re delving into bestselling author Dolly Alderton’s fiction debut: the warm, funny, tender novel, Ghosts. Ghosts tells the story of food writer Nina Dean who enters her thirties with a successful career under her belt and strong friendships around her. And then, well... then she meets Max - a tall, clever, evasive man who told her on their first date that he will marry her. She loves him, he loves her. For five months, they’re entwined in each other’s lives and then he just… disappears. Ghosts tells the story of how friendship changes over the decades and how terminal illness in a family can sometimes splinter the relationships of those who are hurting. Just over a month after release, Ghosts is already a Sunday Times bestselling novel. Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle discuss the hype around this book, the magnificent character that is Lola, and the plot lines that didn’t quite land (we’re looking at you, Angelo). Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, Penguin Books Australia and The Last Migration by Charlotte McConaghy. Head here to pick up a copy.
