Ever wondered what a motivational speaker, best-selling author and podcast host with over one million monthly listeners (plus 1.5 million social followers) does right before stepping on stage to inspire an arena full of people?
Wonder no more. We caught up with Gabby Bernstein ahead of the Australian leg of her Manifesting Masterclass tour and got all the behind-the-scenes details.
Designed to help you 'discover a new manifesting toolkit to unlock the presence of your true power: Self energy', the Manifesting Masterclass kicks off May 12 across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Tickets are still available, starting at $140.96, plus if you buy now you'll get a free 6-module digital course valued at $471.
Dubbed a 'thought leader' by Oprah Winfrey, Gabby keeps things simple backstage. Her green room ritual includes vibing out to Ryan Adams' Greatest Hits, while enjoying an assortment of tea, honey, rice crackers and water. Then, just before stepping into the spotlight, she takes twenty minutes to meditate and sets a powerful intention: 'to let the energy of love move through me and to be of high service to the audience.'

Filled with nostalgia and great music, this Gen X romantic drama hits the right notes

Mix Tape ★★★ Mix Tape is all about the wonder. First love, favourite songs and inescapable heartbreak are the building blocks of this Irish-Australian romantic drama. Ricocheting between past and present, the teenage protagonists and their middle-aged successors, these four hour-long episodes have an inexorable momentum. It's not subtle, but it's effective. Yes, the plot forcefully pushes these characters into bitter circumstances, but there's also a deeper recognition that sometimes a gesture, or an unspoken decision, or a great song, can add more than carefully crafted detail. Sheffield, England, 1989: lanky teen Dan O'Toole (Rory Walton-Smith) sights high school classmate Alison Connor (Florence Hunt) across the room at a house party. New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle is playing: 'I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue.' Cut to the present day and Dan (Jim Sturgess) is a music journalist, still based in Sheffield and married with a son to Katja (Sara Soulie), while Alison (Teresa Palmer) is getting far more sunshine in Sydney, mother of two daughters and married to surgeon Michael (Ben Lawson). Why aren't they together? When will they get back together? Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart is obviously cued up, but this adaptation of Jane Sanderson's 2020 novel knows, as does the viewer, that Dan and Alison are meant to be together, both as a means of healing and a wellspring of happiness. Their children are mostly leaving home and their partners are slightly off – the emphasis Michael puts on the 'my' in 'you're my wife' lingers uneasily. Loading 'You never forget the boy who makes you your first mix-tape,' Alison tells her daughter, Stella (Julia Savage), which means more once Alison explains to her Spotify-era child what a mix-tape is. Irish writer Jo Spain (Harry Wild) and Australian director Lucy Gaffy (Irreverent) treat love and longing as a magnetic force. It draws the teenagers together, with montages and shared reveries that come with an impeccable soundtrack – Psychedelic Furs, The Church, The Cure – and immaculate production design for the adolescent bedrooms.

'The show is not being cancelled': Seven denies Sonia Kruger in trouble after debunking reports Dancing With The Stars not renewed

Channel 7 has publicly denied reports that Dancing With The Stars Australia will not be renewed after speculation the cancellation could impact the show's hosts Sonia Kruger and Dr Chris Brown. Dancing With The Stars is set to return to Channel 7 next week with 12 popular Australian celebrities set to tackle the foxtrot. Kruger, 59, is reportedly under contract with Seven for over $1 million a year and currently hosts The Voice and Dancing With The Stars. The TV star, who began her career as a ballroom dancer and appeared in the iconic film Strictly Ballroom, has been closely associated with the dance series since it first aired on Seven in 2004. However, the TV star could soon be down to just one gig at Seven amid reports the upcoming season of the long-running dance competition series will be its last. A TV insider who spoke to claimed Seven was 'tipped to axe' Dancing With The Stars because the show is too expensive to produce. Seven's decision to 'revive' the show in 2021 was reportedly at the centre of contract negotiations to woo Kruger back from Channel 9. The contract, which made Kruger one of the highest-paid women in Aussie TV, also included gigs on the now-cancelled Holey Moley and Big Brother. If true, Kruger will be down to just her hosting duties on The Voice to justify her seven figure salary, a rarity in the industry amid a massive drop in viewers and advertising revenue in free-to-air. In a statement to the Daily Mail, Seven debunked reports that Dancing With The Stars will not return to screens in 2026 and insisted 'the show is not being cancelled'. Nine gave Kruger her first on-air presenting role on the series Wonder World! in the 1990s before she moved over to Seven to work as an entertainment reporter. In 2011, Kruger joined Nine for the second time where she hosted the morning program Mornings alongside David Campbell and its successor Today Extra, as well as Big Brother and The Voice. Kruger was rehired by Seven in 2019 by then-CEO James Warburton, who she infamously called 'God' in her Gold Logie acceptance speech. Despite decades of experience, Kruger was only nominated for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter at the Logie Awards for the first time in 2022. She was first nominated for the Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television in 2022 and won the top gong in 2023.
