Hi Em , it's Lauren here longtime listener first time asking a ama.I know you have a million zillion things releasing in the next 6-12 months.I was just curious and needed to ask as your close and personal friend Mr Reuben Kaye is the new Artist director of the 2026 Adelaide Cabaret festival..Have you considered bringing outgrown to the festival?
Interview requests
Not tech savvy, may not be the way to get this to you but now I’ve managed to reset my password and find this box I am compelled to respond to your call for interviewees. Basically any of our formative TV idols from the 90s and early 2000s would be awesome. I’m thinking Ranger Stacey, Dr Quinn medicine woman, Xena warrior princess, the truly iconic Australian gladiators (I’m thinking Delta, Fury, Cheetah). What are they doing now? How did they feel about their roles? Were they exploited? What was it like to be them? Do they even know how influential they were? Please and thank you. Alice
Have you read Broken Brains?
Hi Em, you’ve mentioned your friendship with Jamila, just wondering if you have read/listened to her new book and what your thoughts are? I listened and cried so much (I’m also a big fan of co author Rosie Waterland). While listening, there were so many bits that made me think of you.

4-step bench routine
Rather niche question but something that has stuck in my brain for over a year or so. A while ago Em you mentioned your 4-step kitchen bench routine. I really struggle to get mine clean and I think of you every time I try. Please go through it again for me?? Thankyou, can’t wait to read the book xx Jude
Ballroom Sessions
Will the Ballroom Sessions be live-streamed and/or recorded for future purchase? I unfortunately can’t attend but would to love to be able to watch eventually (especially because if my guess for one of the guests is correct, and I miss her duet with Em, I fear I would end up on the news).
Managing your relationships with your children
Em, let me start off by saying you’re a pure delight and often my touchstone for all things parenting, women’s health and pop culture. You inspired me to get back to me, through daily movement and exercise, discovered my ADHD and perimenopause and that I deserve better in this world. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Now that the fangirling is out of the way, my question is, how do you ensure you’re giving your three divine children the attention and love they need and deserve equally? Listening and watching your epic adventure with your eldest, it got me curious how you make sure that all your kids’ feel equal. As a mum of three myself (mine 9, almost 8 & almost 5 AuDHD) I feel like each child can never get enough of me and I’m struggling to balance the giving back to myself and giving to them. Any words of wisdom? Thank you again for all that you do!
Music for the (family) masses
As a music lover and nerd, how are you balancing raising Elio and the girls with sharing your own music taste and letting them have the proverbial aux cord? My eye twitches at the thought of being a parent forced to listen to something called 'lava chicken'. Absolutely not.
Em's house
Hey Em, Ben, Michael, and Zeke and i think someone else i'm missing - peri brain fog, woohoo! First time questions, listener from the start! Em I want to know a bit more about your house - how did you come to pick that house and was there much you changed prior to now? I recall some of the painting additions to the stairs and a wall here and there, but how much of it is still original? I love the tiles in the bathroom, the kitchen colour and layout. Looking forward to hearing all about the happening that are top secret squirrel business! Danielle xx
How to come out of the teen years still friends with your kids
As the mother to an autistic tween, I'd love to hear Em's experience of the teenage years with her daughters and how she managed to come out with such a close relationship with them? I've been hearing some horror stories of the teen years lately and am so worried I'll lose the closeness I have with my beautiful little girl.
Elio & School
Hi Em! I know you said we probably wouldn’t be seeing as much of Elio now, and I understand that completely. But I miss seeing his cheeky little face on your Instagram and I’m just wondering how he’s going at school and how are YOU going with him being at school? Absolutely respect it if you don’t want to answer. I hope he’s having the best time there!
Dear Evan Hansen ethics place
You’ve mentioned many times about your “ethics place” and I’m curious how you feel about Dear Evan Hansen in that regard. I love the soundtrack and have seen it on broadway but I just can’t get past the lie being told to a grieving family in my ethics place to enjoy it as much as I hoped
