Women’s lifestyle network, 9honey, is celebrating its sixth birthday with the launch of a new site, new columnists and an expanded editorial team.
The new vertical, 9honey living, will offer expert advice, tips and hacks to make a house a home.
Editor of 9honey, Shauna Anderson, said, “Our newest site cements 9honey as the most extensive lifestyle site in Australia, catering for all Aussie women with content that is relatable, factual and entertaining.”
The women’s network is also announcing three new columnists.
The Block contestant Rachel Carr, of team Rachel and Ryan, joins the living team with years of DIY tips and tricks under her belt to share. Rachel said: “I’m so excited to be part of the 9honey team, especially the new living site. It’s such a great fit. I can’t wait to share all of my tips and tricks for the home, including styling, renovating and so much more.”
Chef Minoli de Silva joins the team, where she will share her passion for food and issues close to her heart.
Minoli said, ”I’m thrilled to be joining 9honey to share my love of food, flavours and cooking. It’s a dream come true to share the recipes I learnt as a child and the tips I have found to bring restaurant quality food into the homes of the 9honey readers, and also show them just how easy cooking can be.”
Also joining is Stephanie Trethewey, 2022 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award winner and founder and CEO of Motherland.
Stephanie said, “Rural communities are the backbone of Australia and it’s my mission to put rural motherhood on the mainstream map. I’m so excited to join the 9honey team to bring readers a real and raw look into the realities of life on the land.”
Furthermore, the publication will expand its editorial team, with Maddison Leach returning to the Nine family as senior features writer, Lucia Hawley promoted to 9honey style writer, April Glover appointed to senior producer, and Bronte Gossling taking over as weekend producer.

Nine.com.au director, Kerri Elstub, said, “9honey has grown from a small site run by a handful of journos, to a true juggernaut of women’s lifestyle offerings.”
“Adding 9honey living to our catalogue presents a perfect opportunity for content and commercial to align. As a long time fan of Minoli, a Block addict and devotee of Rachel’s style, and a former colleague of Stephanie’s, I’m thrilled to have these strong women on our team.”
