Uncut with Sam Frost - When it's all too...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Joining the podcast today is the wonderful Sam Frost.
Sam is an actress, an author, a mental health advocate and a mum. She originally graced our screens on the bachelor 10 years ago when she was just 24 years old. Sam has had many ‘eras’ and we address all of them in today’s chat!
We speak about:

  • Being so young when she entered the reality TV world and what those experiences were like
  • Being so open about the darkness of mental health and mental illness
  • Becoming an actress on Home and Away, and navigating the criticism of whether she was ‘worthy’ of the opportunity
  • The vaccination conversation and public backlash that Sam endured in 2021
  • Why she actually decided to leave Home and Away
  • The fear of becoming a mum as someone who already experiences mental illness
  • How motherhood has changed her life 
  • What’s in line for her and her partner Jordy’s future with their son Ted
