From deciding on a whim to pack up her little Mitsubishi and leave Brisbane for the glossy magazines of Sydney, to the stone she received from a magic healing man in India that remained taped to her body throughout an entire pregnancy, Bronwyn McCahon has tales to tell, so it's no wonder she's spent the good part of her career in magazines and media.

She's edited some of the biggest titles in the country, she's rubbed shoulders with the likes of Beyonce and Tommy Hilfiger, and in amongst it all, she's raised three children.

Here, we talk working during the golden era of magazines, knowing when it was time to shift gears, and why as a parent, it's important not to give up everything for your kids.

And just a note, we also discuss her experience with pregnancy loss.
