Oh, I'll never forget that.

Hold on, Sophia.

Did you just say they lost everything after becoming a millionaire?

Hello and welcome to an episode of this podcast that I'm going to be honest, I haven't really planned and I'm not sure where this will go.

But I suppose I just wanted to come on and speak a little bit more about Mel, who is obviously someone who is on most of our minds today, I assume.

And last night, as you probably heard in the pod that I put out at like 3am, I spent a few hours going through a lot of the interviews she's done over the last couple of years, especially since finding out she had cancer.

And

I kind of built them into like a little tribute telling her story of the last couple of years and the things she's learned about herself and like her final messages.

And I suppose that's what I want to chat a little bit more about in this episode, because I was thinking about speaking in that pod at 3 a.m., but I hadn't really formulated anything.

what I wanted to say.

And I kind of liked the idea of just having that as Mel in Mel's words, like without me.

But yeah, with this one, I suppose I've just been thinking a lot today, like what can we take from this sad news?

Like what can we learn?

What,

was there?

What was Mel's final kind of messages?

And I think the reason I want to do this as well is because I personally hate what happens in the media after any celebrity or public figure passes.

And I say this because

having previously been a part of it when I did work in the tabloid several years ago.

And I've seen time and time again how essentially when news breaks that someone has passed away, all media, it's then just a race between them of like who can get an article up fastest, who can get it on socials the quickest to get the engagement.
