Wildly Appropriate w/ Krissy Marsh

Do you say yes when you mean no? That is not kindness, it is fear. Krissy on the signs you are a people pleaser, why it comes from fear, and the response nobody warns you about. Everyone knows fight and flight... the people-pleasing one is fawn. One topic. One opinion. No filter. People pleasing in relationships, fawning over your kids, the friend who drains you, saying yes at work, and how to sto...

Did Michael Jackson get away with it? Krissy's unfiltered opinion on power, money and fame. A table of twenty-somethings told Krissy he was great. Her book club calls him a monster. Same man, two verdicts. One topic. One opinion. No filter. Why she believes fame and money bought decades of silence, how abusers groom the parents and not just the kids, and why a whole generation still refuses to bel...

MasterChef's Alvin Quah on lying, cheating and the betrayal that taught him what loyalty really costs. Krissy and her friend Alvin Quah, the MasterChef fan favourite and former scientist, get into the one thing neither of them can forgive. A lie.

20 years. No red flags. Then he was gone... and the clue was in the money. Krissy just finished Strangers, the true story of a woman blindsided by her husband's affair after 20 years, and it sent her straight into her own marriage. The thing that scared her most was not the cheating. It was how easily a smart woman gave away all of her financial independence and never saw it go. What you'll get: -...

Claudia Bonifazio's first boyfriend cheated for months in the supermarket freezer. Everyone knew. No one told her. Krissy met the Love Island Australia winner on The Traitors, and this chat goes everywhere... the ex who altered her brain chemistry, the girl group who hid him at their house, and the villa bombshell story nobody believes. Every single one of her exes said yes to Love Island. What yo...

Jacob Elordi vs Harry Styles, Ryan Gosling, every leading man alive... and he wins every round. Krissy gets dragged through the celebrity-crush firing line and won't budge. Harry Styles is sex on legs. Austin Butler is too trapped in Elvis. Chris Hemsworth is too Brad Pitt. It's Jacob, every time, until she stops dead... "I'm starting to sound like a cougar stalker." Then the dating round lands: r...

You can give your kid every label, every PlayStation... and still hand them anxiety by 11. Krissy goes off on the thing she sees every day. The toddler screaming on the supermarket floor while the parent caves. The Gucci shoes on Mufti day. The kids handed a tap-and-go card who then have zero drive. Here is the real secret to a happier, more secure child, and it is not toys. It is boundaries, cons...

One person marries in, shows up, comes along... and the whole family is never the same. Here's how to protect your peace. The new partner who rearranges everything. The second wife who erases the first family. The relative who drives a wedge and calls it boundaries. Krissy uses the messiest example going, Harry and Meghan, the fake royal tour, the Ukraine trip timed right as his dad heads to t...

Lending money to friends is just stupid, full stop. Krissy in the hot seat, no soft answers. Producer puts her on the spot with rapid-fire money and marriage questions. $250k lands overnight... what do you do. A friend asks for $30k... what do you say. She lent money twice, never saw it again, and now she has a rule. Then the honest stuff. 23 years married. Why a one-night thing is more forgivable...

You will never be able to afford your first home... and that is exactly why you can buy one in 2026. Krissy has never once been able to afford the property she was buying.

Someone on $350k a year, always broke. Someone on $80k, already owns their home. The gap isn't the salary. This is the plain version of how Krissy built wealth from nothing, the same way since she was 13. Assets, liabilities, cash flow. And the mindset flip that changes everything... stop renting the flex, buy the asset. What you'll get: • Why $80k beats $350k done wrong • Assets vs liabil...

Money won't fix you. It just turns the volume up on who you already are. Krissy has been broke and she's been rich, and the values never moved an inch. The Gucci cap with no coffee money.

What you'll get: • The Gucci cap test for spotting b...

Ten small health habits you can actually keep in 2026. No perfection, no guilt. Everyone says the same thing... no time, can't commit, I'll start Monday. The problem isn't time. It's chasing perfection instead of stacking tiny things that add up. So here's what I actually do. 30 years of lemon water. Spirulina for energy. Celery juice most days. Thyme tea when a cold's comi...

Someone told me to lay off the filler. It wasn't filler. It was a disease I didn't even know I had. I'm celiac. Diagnosed about a year ago. The puffy face people kept commenting on was swelling, not a syringe. And that's what made me sit down and list every procedure I've actually had. No lying, no green-juice excuses. What you'll get: • Every procedure, in order, no hiding...

Everyone's writing a to-do list for 2026. The one that changes your year is the to-don't list. The Year of the Horse starts on the 17th of Feb, and this is a fire horse... once every 60 years. Setting goals is easy. The hard part is naming what you'll stop doing. People pleasing. The commitment that drains you. Baggage that was never yours. What you'll get: • Why a to-don't lis...

Nicola Peltz is running the Meghan Markle playbook on Brooklyn Beckham. Here is why he crawls back. Spoilt brat. Rumoured million-dollar allowance. Suddenly a Beckham. You look at a family falling apart and there is almost always one person who caused it. The dress war, the "ruined" dance, the renewed vows, and the slow drag away from his whole family... to me it is the same script Meghan ran on H...

17 years old, first day on a trading floor... 100 men, one other woman, no HR department to call. The Wolf of Wall Street, but real.

What you'll get: • The three types of women in business • Why quota hiring backf...

Prisoners told a researcher the same thing... no boundaries growing up, and they never felt safe. That's from a book called Raising Boys, written by someone who spent years inside the New Zealand prison system. It changed how I raised my three. Boundaries aren't the opposite of love... they're how a kid feels secure. So yes, I smacked them, I put soap in their mouths, and they tell me...

22 years ago I was crippled with mum guilt. Here's what finally stopped it after 15 years. Guilty for working. Guilty for the gym. Guilty for five minutes in the shower without the baby on the floor. If you can't breathe without your newborn in the room, this is for you. I ran a business with ten staff while my kids were tiny and still felt like I was failing them daily. It took getting re...

He knew at five. He came out at nineteen. And he carried his passport everywhere so he could run. This is a coming out story without the movie ending.

What you'll get: • Why "I'm sad" was the only t...

Seven losses in about three years. And the part nobody warns you about is not the grief... it is the paranoia. One in four pregnancies end in miscarriage. Krissy lived that seven times, one a set of twins, all before 20 weeks, and she is telling all of it. The losses, the surgeries, the husband who thought he was bad luck and stopped coming to scans, and the last pregnancy that finally held. What...

A stranger on a boat asked me about foreign exchange at 17. That yes started a whole career... and taught me what a mentor really is. I never went looking for one. I just kept saying yes, and the right people kept turning up. The trading floor. The chef at the Ritz. The coffee that became a job. Then the GFC hit, I'd gone two years without a wage, and my husband walked into my business and sta...
