JOHANNA GRIGGS HOW I LEARNT TO TRUST AGAIN

LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER FOR THE MUCHLOVED HOST

- 

Twenty years ago, the stars aligned for Aussie sweetheart Johanna Griggs.

In 2005, the former swim champion not only took over as host of Better Homes and Gardens, but also realised she’d finally met the love of her life.

Down-to-earth builder Todd Huggins, who Johanna wed the following year, taught the single mum to trust again, after her painfully brief, high-profile marriage to actor Gary Sweet.

“Failure is the greatest lesson in the world,” she told The Australian Women’s Weekly in a wide-ranging interview. “The greatest opportunities in my life, the greatest lessons I’ve learnt and the greatest pivot points where you totally change direction, have come from my failures. And that’s not a bad thing.”
