Chloé Hayden is one of the world’s first autistic actors to co-lead a global series on Netflix’s Heartbreak High, and now she has teamed up with NOVA Entertainment to launch original podcast, Boldly Me.
An award-winning motivational speaker, performer, author, influencer, content creator and disability rights activist and advocate, her podcast features inspiring interviews about the power of authenticity and what it means to live life boldly.
“For such a long time, we've only heard from one type of voice, one type of person, one type of experience. And, for such a long time, it led me to believe that only one voice, one person, one experience held value,” says Hayden.
Underpinning all areas of Hayden’s career is a deep passion for creating change, celebrating diversity, and pushing towards a better future, following her own autism and ADHD diagnosis when she was thirteen years old.
Conversations in Boldly Me cover everything from life lessons to advice for overcoming challenges, and learning to embrace your sparkle.
The first episode features American motivational speaker, activist, author and YouTuber, Lizzie Velasquez. In the second episode, Hayden chats to Taryn Brumfitt, Australian body positivity advocate, writer, filmmaker and founder of Body Image Movement.

A powerhouse in advocacy and an international name, Hayden has half a million online followers and nearly half a billion views on her platforms.
Nova Entertainment’s Acting Head of Podcasts, Elle Beattie, says the podcast is a great example of the role that podcasts can play in elevating unique voices, while delivering engaging, and sometimes life-changing content for listeners.
“It’s been a dream to work alongside Chloé. Boldly Me shows the power of original content and we hope the series inspires people to forge their own path and live a better life for it,” Beattie says.
Other guests on the podcast include high-profile names Grace Tame, Nedd Brockmann, Deni Todorovic, Dylan Alcott, Tim Minchin, Brihony Dawson and RJ Mitte and many others.
Weekly episodes drop every Monday from 1 May. Listen to the first two episodes above for a taste of Boldly Me.
The podcast is available on the Nova Player or wherever you access your podcasts.
