Shelly Horton - Journalist and Media Personality

Since taking her Mum's advice to 'not sleep with anyone' from her home town of Kingaroy Shelly Horton has never been afraid of forging her own path. As one of Australia's leading media personalities Shelly's opinion can be heard nationally a number of times a week in her regular segments on Channel Nine, while she's chatting with Richard Glover on ABC Radio, and as part of her popular and controversial health web series - Things You Can't Talk About On TV.

Her behind-the-camera credits include producing for the most watched entertainment program in the world, Entertainment Tonight America, Channel Nine’s A Current Affair and ABC TV’s George Negus Tonight, Mondo Thingo and Sunday Arts. She also hosted and produced her own TV show in the UK called “What’s On In London”. She was the host and producer of video content for Australia’s biggest women’s website Mamamia.

There are bucket-loads of laughter in this episode as Shelly unpacks her stories from a varied career from crime reporter to the 'fake-it-til-you-make-it' moment on live TV, to launching her video production company ShellShocked Media with her husband.

There are infinite moments of 'aha' and permission to be real in this conversation, and the following are a few of the key take-aways:

* it's okay to be upset if life doesn't got your way

* always make time for your close friends

* turn up camera-ready before you're ready (step into the life you want before it arrives)

* none of us should feel bad for our choices

* look after you in the busyness

* always have a laugh or 50!
