Natalie Bassingthwaighte has spent decades building a life in the public eye, but in recent years, everything changed.

In this episode, she shares the moment that shifted her world, the quiet but undeniable turning point that led to the end of her marriage and a complete rethinking of who she is.

She speaks openly about the confusion of that time, the impact on her family, and the courage it took to step into something new. Now engaged to her partner Pip Loth, Natalie reflects on finding love in a way she never expected and what it means to live more truthfully.

Love Like This: A Memoir by Natalie Bassingthwaighte (Hardie Grant Publishing) is out now.
