BRODIE'S BIG STEP 'I'M READY TO SETTLE DOWN'

For the high-energy star of The Traitors, putting down roots doesn't necessarily mean a husband and kids

- Kelly Bertrand

Brodie Kane has never been known to do things slowly. On the face of it, she operates at one speed: high-energy, high-speed, high-excitement.

Her yarns are a mile a minute and she's got so much going on in her head, conversations will often have three different threads running at the same time.

She's jazzed for everything, up for anything and in her self-named role as a "professional hype woman" (legitimately a job she gets booked for), she has a unique ability to absolutely froth whatever needs frothing.

But personally, the broadcaster and business owner - plus the star of upcoming new reality show The Traitors is looking to make a bit of a change.

"Right now, the one thing I'm really craving and trying to do is put down some roots, believe it or not," she tells Woman's Day.

"Don't get me wrong I love the chaos of my life, but I feel like I need to put in better steps around it to give me a little more quiet time and calm. I actually am ready to settle down."

She adds firmly, "Now, let's be very clear on this. Settling down doesn't mean the picket fence, and the kids and the husband. But now I feel like I'm yearning to be a bit more settled around the amazingness of my life."

Having just celebrated her 37th birthday last month, Brodie's currently enjoying a supremely fulfilling stage of her life. From last year's second place on Dancing With The Stars, through to setting up her own podcast business, Brodie Kane Media, she's absolutely living her best, if very busy, life.

Just don't ask her if she has a boyfriend, please.

"God, can we just stop asking that?" she quips. "It's literally the least interesting thing about a person. I know it's mostly people asking because they care, but it gets so boring.
