Melissa Mason On Fertility, Big Age Gaps & Curly Hair Hacks

31 min • 15 november 2022

Melissa Mason tells Hannah about her journey with fertility testing, and it wouldn't be a beauty podcast if she didn't tell us how she maintains her curls.

Adore Beauty Acknowledges First Nations People as the Traditional Owners across the lands and waters of Australia. We recognise and pay our respects to Elders past, present and future, whose lands were never ceded.

Journalist Melissa Mason talks about dealing with curly hair in a humid climate, fertility testing and how early she had the 'kids chat' with her younger partner.

Melissa Mason is a journalist, Contributing Editor for Grazia International and podcast host of The Zest Is History Podcast and also Jeans & A Nice Top Podcast.
