Many of you will know Jules from Married at First Sight Australia, where she met her now husband Cam Merchant in what has become one of the show’s most successful love stories. They met on the experiment in their mid-30s, fell in love on screen, and have since built a family life together with two kids. Since the show, Jules has grown into a successful entrepreneur, launching the inclusive shape wear and fashion brand FIGUR. Jules lives with PMDD and explains how her hormones really threw a spanner into the works after having her first baby.

Today we speak about what it was like going on reality TV later in life and unexpectedly meeting your husband, how her experience on MAFS compares to what the show looks like today, the realities of postpartum mental health, and how she’s turned her platform into a thriving business.

We chat:

Having babies in her 40s
What a ‘gender selection specialist’ does and how Jules feels about getting pregnant in her mid 40s
What PMDD actually feels like
The post natal period with PMDD
The difference a supportive partner can make
Why Jules started Figur after MAFS and being body shamed
The realities of growing a business
Who we all think will last as a couple from this season of MAFS
