John Aiken is here with a sneaky teaser on what to expect from the upcoming season of MAFS. John also has an amazing, important new three-part documentary series, Lessons on Living.
John reflects on the honour and pressure of bringing Nigel Latta’s final work to life after his passing, sharing how the project helped him process his own grief following the sudden death of his Married At First Sight co-star, Mel.
We discuss the reality of public grieving, the power of vulnerability, and the three core principles of resilience Nigel outlines in his book.
