What if the strength we praise is the very silence that’s killing our men?

In this deeply human episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg reflects on the tragic loss within the Selwood family, a name etched into the heart of Australian sport, and the quiet crisis that continues to unfold in locker rooms, households, and hearts across the country.

You’ll learn:

*Why emotional silence is still rewarded—and how that’s costing lives.
*What resilience really means beyond grit and performance.
*How we begin to rewrite the script for our boys, one conversation at a time.

This isn’t an episode about sport. It’s about survival. And it’s time we started listening. Before it’s too late.

Christian O'Connell had everything he (thought he) ever wanted, but something just didn't feel right. Most of us have been there too.

Christian O’Connell is one of the most beloved voices in radio and currently on Gold FM, an award-winning broadcaster who has reached millions across the UK and Australia. But behind the microphone and the confident persona is a man who has wrestled with fear, doubt, and a profound loss of identity.

Sarah Grynberg sits down for a conversation with Christian, as he shares the highs and lows of his incredible journey. He opens up about the emotional weight of navigating anxiety, public scrutiny, and the false rumours that shook the foundation of his personal life.

You’ll learn:

*How Christian rebuilt his identity after hitting emotional rock bottom.

*How he coped with debilitating panic attacks

*How he dealt with hurtful fake news being written about his family

*Why courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the willingness to keep going

*How to make friends at any stage of life

This is a story of resilience, rebirth, and having the strength it takes to be fully, fearlessly yourself while enjoying a healthy dose of hilarity along the way.

When did freedom become something we assumed, instead of something we protected?

In this searing episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg unpacks the haunting truth behind The Handmaid’s Tale, a story that feels more like memory than fiction, and more like warning than entertainment.

You’ll learn:

*Why The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t about the future, but a mirror of the past and the present.

*How real-world events have already played out the darkest chapters of Atwood’s novel.

*The silent ways control creeps in.

*What it means to move from fear to fire, from silence to strength.

This episode isn’t about fear. It’s about awakening. It’s about seeing clearly the places where power is abused, where voices are silenced, where women are still being told to stay small, stay soft, stay silent. And it’s about saying: no more.

Listen now. Then ask yourself the only question that really matters:
Where in your life are you still waiting to be free?
