  • What does it really take to build a lasting career in one of the most cutthroat industries in the world?

    Richard Roxburgh has starred in iconic films like Elvis, Moulin Rouge, and The Great Gatsby. But beyond the fame and red carpets is a man who’s spent decades quietly mastering his craft, while working alongside the biggest names in the business.

    In this revealing conversation, Richard joins Sarah Grynberg to reflect on the highs, the heartbreaks, and the hard-won wisdom of life in front of (and behind) the camera. He opens up about working with Cate Blanchett, taking creative leaps with Baz Luhrmann, and his powerful new film The Correspondent, which explores the personal cost of truth-telling in a noisy world.

    You’ll learn:

    What it’s really like working with Cate Blanchett and Baz Luhrmann

    How to chase a dream when the odds are stacked against you

    The tools Richard uses to stay grounded in an industry built on ego

    Why success doesn’t always look (or feel) the way you think it will

    What deep, lasting creativity actually requires — and how to protect it

    If you’ve ever felt burnt out, unsure of your path, or pressured to keep achieving, this episode will show you how to keep going without losing yourself. It’s a masterclass in staying grounded, navigating ambition, and living with purpose.

    This conversation will leave a mark, in all the best ways.

  • What if your pursuit of perfection is actually destroying you?

    In this raw and provocative episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg dives into the haunting film The Substance, a twisted mirror reflecting the terrifying truth behind our obsession with youth, beauty, and approval.

    This isn’t just a horror film. It’s a wake-up call.
    What are you willing to sacrifice to be liked? To be wanted? To be perfect?

    If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, I need to be more
    If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough unless you’re constantly improving

  • Hooked on MAFS? Here’s What That Really Says About You.

    If you find yourself glued to the chaos of Married at First Sight, you’re not alone. The betrayals, the blow-ups, the fake weddings... it’s messy, addictive, and impossible to look away.

    But what if watching reality TV wasn’t just entertainment? What if it was revealing something deeper about who we are and what we crave?

    In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg pulls back the curtain on our cultural obsession with shows like MAFS, and what they might be distracting us from.

    She asks the big questions:

    Why do we watch strangers fall in love (or implode) on national TV? What does our obsession say about our own relationships, our loneliness, or our need to feel something real? And where in our own lives are we afraid to be seen, known, or truly vulnerable?

    This episode is not about judging your guilty pleasures. It’s about using them as a mirror. Because sometimes, what we binge says more about us than we think.

    Why are we so obsessed with tearing people down? And what does that obsession say about us?

  • When Sarah sat down to watch Avicii - I'm Tim, she didn’t expect it to hit so hard. The story of Swedish DJ Avicii wasn’t just about fame, it was about the unseen struggles that eventually led to his tragic death. And the truth is, his story isn’t unique.

    In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah unpacks the reality behind the curated lives we see on the surface. How often do we assume someone is fine just because they seem successful, happy, or put-together? How often do we check in, really check in, with the people around us?

    By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why the stories we don’t share often matter the most, how to recognise the silent struggles of those around you, and why deep connection starts with truly seeing and listening.
