But Are You Happy?
Laura Byrne On Feeling The Pressure To “Fix” The Way She Looks
Listen on
Episode notes
Imagine stepping into the spotlight on a TV show, finding love, and then facing nationwide scrutiny—not for anything you did, but simply for how you look. Laura Byrne knows this all too well, and it's taken her years to reclaim her self-love.
Laura is a podcaster, an author, and a business owner, who entered Australian homes when she won The Bachelor in 2017, ending up with her now-husband, Matty J.
In this candid chat, Laura opens up about the relationship challenges and mum guilt that comes with being a working mother, the harsh impact of online criticism, and what she won't share on a podcast.
