This week on Pod Friends, Matt Scott (@MattScottGW) sits down with Annabel Fidler, one of the breakout stars of The Traitors Australia, for a funny, vulnerable, and deeply moving conversation about survival, healing, identity, and finding your voice.

Annabel reflects on her unconventional childhood growing up in caravan parks across Australia, the trauma and abusive relationships that shaped her early adulthood, and the years of therapy that helped her rebuild trust in herself and others. She also opens up about her experience on The Traitors, becoming an unexpected fan favorite, and what it was like to be right when almost no one believed her.

Together, Matt and Annabel discuss queer identity, reality TV, the psychology of strategy games, surviving trauma, EMDR therapy, being labeled “annoying,” the friendships that changed her life, and why choosing yourself can be the bravest move of all.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, underestimated, or like you had to become someone else just to survive, this episode is for you.
