The mum of three’s turning point came during Melbourne’s long lockdown and she also has a passion for walking every day.

“I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions but I’ve become serious about carving out some ‘me time’ this year,” she wrote in March.

“I’ve read everything there is to read about self care and the benefits of occasionally honouring your own needs ahead of everyone else’s.

“But I’ve never done anything about it, until now. Learning how to meditate kicked it off for me and I realised after the first 10 min block that it was the first time in ages I’d stopped and slowed down with my own well-being top of mind.”

The popular host of Nova breakfast’s Chrissie, Sam and Browny, has also formed a close bond with fellow Celebrity MasterChef contestants.

She said actor Rebecca Gibney and Tilly Ramsay, the daughter of British chef Gordon Ramsay, her “kindred spirits” and is also close with AFL champion Nick Riewoldt.

The trio attended an intimate celebration with leading Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil company Cobram Estate, held at Matilda 519 in South Yarra as they celebrate the recently launched 2021 EVOO Harvest whilst honouring CEO and chief oil maker Leandro Ravetti’s 20th anniversary with the business.
