Convo Radio

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.

New years resolutions can be S T R E S S F U L . If the thought of having to commit to something for 365 days straight overwhelms you, fear not! I sat down for my first ever solo episode to talk about 8 different ways you can make the most out of your life in 2021. No, i don't tell you to make your bed everyday or exercise more, these aren't your average resolutions. From money to reading to gratitude to clearing out your closet, this episode covers it all.

2020 has been a tough year, and if you just happened to graduate this year, you’ll know that job prospects are pretty grim. But what if you could hone your skills and turn a passion project into  a profitable business? Am I sounding like a pop-up ad? Probably, but today’s guest, ditched the job market and started her own business during a global pandemic. At a time when jobs were few and far between she created her own. Teneal Eske, Founder of Sweeter Social joins me today to talk about how she took the scary step of leaving the workforce to become her own boss.

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.

This is not clickbait, we swear! Thinking of venturing into the travel/content creation realm? It’s the dream job everyone wishes they had, but only few actually make it their reality. Courtney Leopard, also known as @shetravelledtheworld , quit uni to take on the world (literally) and hasn’t looked back. She’s grown a community of broke but adventurous travel lovers and shares all her tips for travelling on a budget, cracking the instagram code, and taking beaut photos all on your own (significant others everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief RN). Planning a trip or considering a career in social media/content creation soon? This episode is your one stop shop for all things travel, instagram growth and living your best life on a budget (because let’s face it none of us are flying first class anytime soon, we’re all skyscanner devotees). Know of someone you think should be on this podcast? Send a dm on IG to @convo_radio ! But in the meantime, grab a seat, let’s have a convo.

LA based actress, model and creative Chessi Phillips took an entire year off her acting career because of her skin and its impacts on her confidence. In this episode, she tells us all she learnt in that year, from cutting out people instead of cutting out food, and how to stop critiquing every. single. part. of your body that you THINK is a flaw. Do you tear apart every photo taken of yourself to the point where you don't even feel like posting it anymore? We're all guilty of that, but we shouldn't be. It's time to do better for ourselves and Chessi tells us just how to do that in this episode. 

Find her @chessiphillips on insta for some beautiful, raw and unedited photos! 

STORYTIME! In this episode Kelly and I talk about all the pals we've known over the years. From our first friends in primary school to the toxic people we came across in high school. We talk everything from 'friends for phases' of our lives, to that forever friend you know will be holding your hair back at your bachelorette party. Kelly gives her best tips for making friends in your 20s when you're no longer at uni/college, but most importantly, we talk about the importance of being your own best friend and JOMO (joy of missing out).
