Covid has hit us hard in all manner of ways. Anita Bilkey, like many, went into a bit of ‘lockdown funk’ and had to find a way to cope. She drew on her experience as an interior designer and embarked on a new adventure – turning trash into treasure, one item at a time.

This very practical podcast contains hints on how to transform furniture, an insight into how to dress a room and most importantly, how you can furnish your home for AU$2000. Yep, this podcast has it all and I must say, I learnt so much.

This unedited podcast journeys with laughter and wonderful insights generously shared by Anita.

So, if you are glum for any reason, get our hands busy and start sanding!

Amanda Gorman, artist, shares her story of how life crises transformed her once bubbly outgoing personality to one of complete overwhelm and depression. This awareness, this constant distraction led to a diagnosis of adult ADHD and a new perspective of her childhood and how she navigates life today. Equipped with this knowledge has helped Amanda navigate change and restoration of her bubbly light self and ignited an innovating and successful art practice and business.

Amanda’s deep desire is to help others with ADHD, both children and adults was the inspiration for the organisation Distractd, a community to inspire, educate and celebrate ADHD.
