  • Alone vs Lonely - A self dating convo with Milly Bannister (Pt.1)

    Your twenties are some of the most exciting times in your life. Reserved for figuring out what you love and what you hate. It’s a time where you can afford to be selfish while you’re responsible for you and you alone. Many use to this time embark on career defining adventures, like travel blogger Courtney Leopard and international model Elly-Grace spoke about in previous episodes. But as rewarding as those adventures may be, the road there can get quite lonely at times, something Aussie Blogger Milly-Rose Bannister knows all about. 

    Grab a seat, for this convo on being alone, but not lonely.

  • It happens in Australia too - A convo on racism w/ Alexis Moran

    I would. like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land this podcast was made on. The Jagera and Turrbal people of Meanjin Brisbane. Sovereignty was never ceded. 

    This episode is part one of a two part series on racism. In this first episode, I speak to Proud Wakka Wakka and Yuin woman Alexis Moran on Australia's culture of casual racism. We unpack why it took the death of a Black man in America to spark a movement here in Australia, the Black Lives Matter movement, black squares on instagram and activism as a trend, and why celebrating Australia Day is problematic and disrespectful to our First Nation Peoples. 

    I wanted to bring you stories from both sides of the world. To show people that it doesn’t “only happen in America” (I’m talking to you Prime Minister Morrison, claiming slavery never happened in Australia). Injustice is happening everywhere, and if you don’t agree, you may need to check your privilege. Grab a seat, you need to hear this very important Convo.
