Episode 11 | Matilda Green Part 01

Stand Up Again

Show Notes

Matilda Green became a household name after finding love on The Bachelor, transforming from a media sales professional into one of New Zealand's most recognizable content creators, broadcasters, and advocates.

But behind the public success came unexpected challenges. Overnight fame, online scrutiny, the pressures of social media, and the constant juggle of career ambition, marriage, and raising three young children forced Matilda to confront what really matters.

In this episode, Matilda opens up about mum guilt, balancing opportunity with family, and the lessons she's learned about boundaries, authenticity, and letting go of perfection. It's a powerful conversation about accepting life's seasons and finding peace in the choices we make.
