“Breakfast (now where have @melissadoyleofficial and I heard that word before?!) this morning chatting with this wonderful woman about some of the stories behind my book – along with some very special @audiaustralia customers,” Lisa began.

She continued to detail how Mel mentored her and gave her endless support that left Lisa feeling at ease and assured someone was in her corner.

“When I was lucky enough to work with Mel at @sunriseon7, she taught me so much about how to “do” breakfast tv – both on and off-screen…and I remain forever grateful for her kindnesses and generosity over the years.”

“And Mel, given we were only meant to talk for 20 minutes this morning, and we could have so easily talked for hours.”
