Empowerhouse

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to run a magazine? Is it really all glam and 'Miranda Priestly' in Devil Wears Prada? This ep goes straight to the source. Zoe Rice is the editor of SouthAustralia’s biggest selling magazine, SA Life. She gives us a look behind the scenes and what it really takes to land the top job. We chat about overcoming imposter syndrome and perfectionism, balancing the hustle with mum life and advice for those striving to work in the world of media too.

Since my last ep I’ve moved interstate, twice, landed my dream job, dream man and became a mama! Empowerhouse had to take a back seat for a while but I’m so excited to be back with you and I have some incredible women lined up to chat with. My hope is that you'll listen and feel inspired to step into your power, to know it's normal to be working on your worthiness every day and to hear from women who are at the top of their game in their field - powerhouses - so that you might feel empowered to rule your realm too.

Model, actress and Miss Universe Australia finalist for 2022, Stella Badenoch is helping women find their true purpose and fully enjoy life. With her growth mindset, her qualifications in Neuro Linguistics Programming (we’ll find out more about that) and her love for healing, Stella is also a life coach guiding women to stand in their power and authenticity. That’s what we’re all about here in the Empowerhouse!

Making it in breakfast radio is no easy feat. You are required to be ON at all times, full of personality and vulnerable, sharing all of you and opening yourself up to judgement from 100s of 1000s of people. TWO femme powerhouses join me for this inspiring ep; Laura O'Callaghan (aka Loz from Triple M Breakfast with Roo, Ditts and Loz) and Lauren 'Davo' Davidson from Fresh 92.7 Breakfast with Davo, Tom and Callum. These ladies are living examples of those who feel the fear and do it anyway! 

Leah Itsines is a lover of good health, but good food comes first. Entrepreneur, author, Mumma and absolute Boss Babe of multiple successful businesses, Leah is on a mission to show women how easy and maintainable it is to enjoy a nutritionally balanced and healthy relationship with food. Inspired by her Greek heritage, Leah shares delicious recipes from her Yiayia's dolmathes and cheese triangles to her famous pinwheels and she is an airfryer queen! I’m so grateful to be able to chat with her and have no doubt she will inspire you to stop sitting on your dreams and start taking action to achieve them!

Have you ever dreamed of turning your hobby into your career? Have you ever felt a little lost, unsure of your path or lacking direction? What's it like to sit across from some of Australia's most powerful, inspirational women and be trusted with the honour of capturing them with your paintbrush? Tsering Hannaford is a seven time Archibald Prize finalist - one of the most prestigious Art prizes in Australia. Her portraits have been finalists every year since 2015 and last year she came Runner Up with a self portrait. Tsering has painted some incredible female powerhouses and is herself an absolute artistic powerhouse. Though it wasn't until one of her pieces was purchased by another notable Aussie creative, Barry Humphries AO (aka Dame Edna Everage!) that she realised she might be able to turn her talent into her career.

Do you or someone you know experience racing thoughts, over stimulation of information, impulsivity, may be an adrenaline junkie? When we think 'ADHD' we tend to think of a hyperactive teenage boy, not a successful, high performing, career woman. Entrepreneur and CEO of Superfierce, Trenna Probert, was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. This chat is the most interesting insight in to the mind of a business powerhouse who's using her 'disorder' as her superpower.
