Turia Pitt has admitted to watching the hit '90s drama SeaChange more than 600 times, sharing the quirky fact as part of a laugh-out-loud post calling for her fellow "soul twins".
The 37-year-old took to Instagram with a carousel post of "chaotic" confessions, from overthinking a fringe to donning "good" activewear with zero plans to exercise.
"If you've ever rewatched the same comfort show again instead of risking something 'too intense' or stared at yourself in the mirror wondering if this is the era you finally get a fringe… Then yep, we might be soul twins," she captioned the post.
One slide included a snap of Turia in bed with her son and read: "You'd rather rewatch a feel-good show you've seen 637 times like SeaChange than risk a new one being 'too scary' just before bed."
The iconic ABC series, which first aired in 1998, starred Sigrid Thornton, John Howard, David Wenham, Kate Atkinson and Kevin Harrington, and clearly still holds a special place in Aussie hearts.
Followers flooded the comments with love for both the show and Turia's honesty.
"In that case… we are besties Turia," one wrote, while another said: "SeaChange forever!"
A third added: 'Oh my goodness- all of them! And SeaChange is my ALL time favourite TV show…. Besties?!"
Celebrity mates also joined in, with Melissa Doyle writing: "Yep. Friends," alongside a heart emoji, and Steph Claire Smith adding: "Ahahaha yes yes yes."
Some of Turia's other favourite things included wearing her "good" activewear to school dropoff despite having "no intention of exercising" and thinking of new hobbies such as "pickleball" and "learn[ing] harp".
Turia's relatable post comes hot on the heels of her latest book announcement.
On July 2, she unveiled her sixth title Selfish, due for release in October- a project aimed at flipping the script on what it means to put yourself first.
"We're told that being selfish is bad," she wrote.
"That we should always think of others, put everyone else first, push our own needs aside. I bought into that story. And it led me straight to burnout. This is the book I wish I had during that time."
The Sydney-based mum of two has long been open about the life-altering bushfire that reshaped her path.
In 2011, then 25, Pitt was competing in the Racing the Planet: Kimberley ultramarathon when she and another person became trapped by a fast-moving grassfire.
She sustained burns to 65 per cent of her body, was placed in a medically induced coma, lost seven fingers, and underwent more than 200 surgeries.
Her recovery spanned two years- but since then, she's become one of the country's most beloved speakers, authors, and role models.
