Lifestyle Journalist Leigh Campbell on Loss, Love and Adult ADHD

Listen to the full episode here

I am so excited to be back with Season Two of Beautiful Inside, and there was only one person I wanted to open with. Our first guest is my dear friend Leigh Campbell, one of the most loved talents in Australian beauty and lifestyle media, and someone I have had the pleasure of knowing for many years.

We were invited into Leigh's stunning home, which she shares with her husband Rich and their adorable son Alexander. Sitting together on her bed, we reminisced about our magazine days and then went somewhere much deeper, into the moments that have quietly shaped who she is.

A childhood with an adventurous spirit

Leigh opens up about her childhood and her family's adventurous spirit, a window into the experiences that made her who she is today. It is the kind of honest, formative storytelling that sets the tone for everything that follows.

Building a career in media

We trace Leigh's career through the media industry, from her early days in magazines to becoming one of the most recognisable voices in the Australian beauty world. It is a reminder of how much the landscape has changed, and how she has evolved alongside it.

Her adult ADHD diagnosis

One of the most illuminating parts of our chat is Leigh's recent adult ADHD diagnosis, a revelation that has offered her fresh insight into both her personal and professional life. She speaks candidly about the patterns it has helped her finally understand, and the relief that came with a name for them.

Motherhood, grief and self-care

Leigh shares her experiences of motherhood and the complexities of managing grief, with heartfelt reflections on how those moments have shaped her. We talk about the challenges and joys of balancing a demanding career with family life, and how she protects time for self-care in the middle of it all. Her authenticity makes this part of the conversation both moving and deeply relatable.

Stay tuned for Part Two

This conversation was so rich that we could not fit it into one episode. Stay tuned for Part Two, where Leigh talks us through her years long fertility struggles, her honest take on the manifestation trend, and the surprises hiding in her Sacred Six.

Whether you are navigating similar challenges or simply looking for an uplifting and genuine conversation, this episode is packed with wisdom, laughter and the warmth of shared experience. Do not miss this deep dive into Leigh's world.
