  Maggie Dent: How to Protect Your Kids From Social Media, AI & the Dark Side of Tech

  Oct 5, 20261h 23mS10

  What is your child being exposed to on their phone,and would they tell you if something went wrong? Parenting educator and bestselling author Maggie Dent returns to A Life of Greatness with Sarah Grynberg to discuss her new book, Digital Freedom, and the online dangers parents can’t afford to overlook. From pornography and cyberbullying to deepfakes, sextortion and AI companions, Maggie explains what parents need to understand, and how to protect children while keeping their trust. You’ll learn: How algorithms can lead children towards harmful content. How to set phone boundaries without shutting down communication. When to talk about pornography and online safety. How to support children through exclusion, teenage emotions and self-harm. Your child doesn’t need you to know everything about technology. They need to know they can tell you anything. This is an essential conversation for anyone trying to raise children in a world unlike the one we grew up in, and a powerful reminder that beneath all the technology, our greatest protection is still connection.

  Sarah’s Thoughts: You Don’t Have to Like Everyone in Your Family

  Oct 1, 20265 minS10

  Here’s something we’re rarely told about family: you can love someone, care about them and still not particularly like them. In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts , Sarah explores why accepting that truth can actually make difficult family relationships easier — especially when you stop expecting someone to become the person you wish they were. Maybe it’s the parent who never gives you the emotional support you need. The sibling who turns everything into a competition. Or the family member who always seems to know exactly which button to push. Often, the frustration isn’t just about who they are — it’s about who you keep hoping they’ll eventually become. Sarah shares three practical ways to protect your peace: lower your expectations without lowering your standards, decide your boundaries before you see them, and stop taking the bait when familiar comments inevitably come. Because acceptance doesn’t mean approving of someone’s behaviour. It means recognising what they are capable of giving you — and choosing your response accordingly. You don’t have to defend every decision. You don’t have to correct every opinion. And you certainly don’t have to hand over your peace simply because someone is family. You may not get to choose your family, but you absolutely get to choose how much access they have to you. Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.

  Joe Aston: Inside the Qantas Story, the Dark Side of Power & the Cost of Speaking Out

  Sep 28, 20261h 2mS10

  What happens when powerful people stop hearing the word no ? In this compelling episode of A Life of Greatness , Sarah Grynberg sits down with journalist, author and Rampart founder Joe Aston for a candid conversation about power, ambition, addiction and the stories that have defined his career. Joe shares his unlikely journey from working inside Qantas PR to becoming one of the journalists most closely associated with scrutinising the airline and its former CEO, Alan Joyce. He reveals the moment he believed something had shifted in Joyce, and what reporting on Australia’s most powerful people taught him about ego and influence. Joe also opens up about his difficult relationship with alcohol, how drinking became intertwined with his career in journalism, and the frightening point when it began affecting his ability to think, remember words and write. You’ll learn: What Joe believes prolonged power can do to a person Why success can sometimes enable destructive behaviour What finally forced Joe to confront his relationship with alcohol Why he walked away from the Australian Financial Review How he deals with criticism after years of criticising others The lesson of acceptance that has changed how he approaches life This conversation will take you behind the headlines to the human cost of power and ambition, and leave you thinking about what it means to succeed, to change, and to build a life around what you love.

  Sarah’s Thoughts: Keeping Up With Your Friends Is Quietly Ruining Your Life

  Sep 24, 20265 minS10

  You can have the house, the career, the family and a life you once dreamed about — and still somehow feel like you’re falling behind. In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts , Sarah explores the hidden reason so many of us struggle to feel satisfied with what we have: we’ve quietly turned the people around us into our competition. A friend renovates and suddenly your kitchen feels tired. Someone books an incredible holiday and your weekend away feels small. They get the promotion, buy the car or hit another milestone — and although you’re genuinely happy for them, underneath it can sit that uncomfortable thought: Am I falling behind? Sarah unpacks the psychology of relative deprivation , why our brains naturally judge what we have against the people around us, and how social media has supercharged that comparison by exposing us to thousands of carefully curated lives every day. Because comparison doesn’t just steal your joy. It can quietly decide how much joy you believe you’re allowed to have in the first place. Your friends were never meant to be your measuring stick. They were meant to be your people. The scoreboard isn’t real. And the moment you stop keeping score might be the moment you finally get to enjoy the life you were too busy comparing to actually live.

  Sep 21, 20261 hourS10

  On December 14, 2025, Valentyna and Michael Britvan took their daughters to a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. It was meant to be an afternoon of family, food and celebration. Instead, gunmen opened fire on the crowd, killing their 10-year-old daughter, Matilda. In their first sit-down podcast interview, Matilda’s parents join Sarah Grynberg for one of the most important and deeply moving conversations ever shared on A Life of Greatness . Valentyna and Michael speak candidly about what happened during the Bondi massacre, the desperate moments trying to save Matilda and the unimaginable reality of learning to live without their daughter.

In this episode, you’ll hear: What happened to the Britvan family at Bondi Beach How they are navigating grief and unimaginable loss Their concerns about antisemitism and safety in Australia The people who risked their lives to help others that day What they hope will come from the Royal Commission Why they refuse to let hatred define Matilda’s memory This is a powerful conversation about grief, love, faith, antisemitism and two parents determined to ensure their little girl is never forgotten.
