It is often acknowledged that grief or loss can transport us to accompanying things we wouldn't normally do. For Kathy Gabriel, that was entering the world's toughest horse race, the Mongol Derby, not once, but twice.
After chewing her up and spitting her out the first time, she had to wait another three years for the Pandemic to pass in order have another go in fulfilling her dream of completing this 1000km horse race across Mongolia.
It's an inspiring story from this Aussie lass and one that will encourage you to get outside of your own comfort zone.

In this compelling interview with Founder and Franchisor of Australia's only Occupational Therapist Franchise, ActivOT, Helen Whait shares her story of growing up in a household led by extreme coercive control.

In this very raw and open interview, Ben Dobbin or Dobbo to most who know him, opens up about how he went from city kid, to Ringer in the Northern Territory to working for Triple M Radio and commentating on the NRL.
Dobbo, is super loveable. He's the kind of bloke that you know wants the best for you and strives to be a voice for the bush. However, this 'blokey bloke' also has an incredibly sensitive and self aware side that not many see. In this candid conversation, he shares his battles with romantic relationships, his need for validation and to have a close family and just how his Honeymoon was ruined by George and Amal Clooney...
The interviewer becomes the interviewee in this conversation about life, failure and the want for success.
