From being ‘canceled’, to alcoholism and post-natal depression, Yumi Stynes knows how to get vulnerable in the Vulnerabilitea House.

Starting as a magnetic, music presenter on Channel V, Yumi’s career spans more than 20 years on our screens, on the radio, or in the very successful books she’s written. However as she shares with Hugh, Ryan and Josh, there were times in her career when the phone simply didn't ring.

In this episode, Yumi shares stories from her childhood, from feelings of isolation; to being the victim of racism in 1980s Swan Hill; we discuss the loss of her father and how it shaped her perspective on life; and what it was actually like to be cancelled and the role that friendship played in her lowest moments; above all, Yumi tells us of her long struggles with alcohol, the journey of quitting and the positive impact it has had on her life.

Buckle up for a big one! We know you’ll love this chat as much as we did!
