515: The undeniable Abbie Chatfield, on romance, reality and butt stuff

Abbie Chatfield is the most exciting figure in Australian media today, and she’s only just getting started.

A finance degree graduate who arrived on reality TV fresh from a career in corporate real estate, Abbie absolutely exploded on to our screens in Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor Australia.‌

However it was what she did next that changed everything. Earnestly, honestly, and openly - she began to navigate public life with a power and cadence which took many by surprise.

Creating her podcast It’s A Lot pulled back the catapult that has set Abbie on a course for stratospheric heights.

I’ve never in my entire career met someone like her.

She treats every gig as a learning opportunity, sees self improvement and mastery as a daily goal, knows when she’s right and knows to ask for help when she needs it, knows her worth, knows her value and is not afraid to take the lead on monetising that value either through her podcast, her national tours, or the creation of a line of sex toys which have seen phenomenal success.

Abbie is an open book - and this conversation covers trolling, self-harm, destructive patterns in relationships, an enormous deep-dive into the nuts and bolts of making reality TV (which I rarely do) and yes, butt stuff.
