Jules Sebastian is back! A new room, new era, and the story she's been waiting to tell.
In this first episode of a brand new chapter of Tea with Jules, Jules sits down with her manager and friend Lisa Johnson to finally speak openly and honestly about one of the biggest moments of her family's year: her son Archie joining his father Guy Sebastian on tour and the extraordinary journey that led to a standing ovation in a packed arena.
Jules shares what it felt like to watch Archie's talent quietly develop over years. The emotional weight of playing that unfinished song to her father in hospital. The conversations that convinced Archie to say yes. The moment she came outside herself, watching him on the big screen. And the pride in Archie, in Hudson, in Guy, and in this season of life as a family.
This is also an episode about what tour life really looks like from the inside: the unseen stamina of an artist like Guy, the joy of bringing kids to the Brisbane Children's Hospital. Jules also reflects on what this podcast means to her personally, why she made it, what it's given her, and where it's going next.
Pour yourself some tea, let's begin!
