Stanley is not homeless, he lives in a parking building in Vancouver, thank you very much. He loves his city and he loves life and if you want to learn about empathy and self awareness then let Stanley tell you about his world. 

Let's eat a weird NASA breakfast from McDonalds, charge our electronic devices, take advantage of some free ketchup sachets and get a little Nietzschean.

His song choice: We Want To - New Young Pony Club

Alison Wright is a diamond. She's beautiful and raw and earthy but look out or she'll bloody cut you to smithereens with her multifaceted honesty. She's an actress making interesting choices and embodying complex characters. But perhaps she wouldn't be doing the things she is doing today if she hadn't made the decision to figure out just who the hell she is.

Once upon a time Frankie Adams fundamentally doubted herself. On her first day as Bobbie Draper in massive fancy US TV show The Expanse, little Frankie from NZ walked on to set feeling horrifyingly ill prepared, illegitimate and undeserving.

Natalie once had a panic attack whilst frantically jogging around Ikea.

Let's hit the vape and drink green smoothies while discussing the finer points of mental health.

Writer and actor, Natalie Medlock, is about to debut her latest stage play, a tragic comedy inspired by her own lived experience with anxiety and depression.

"At the time I was like, why the fuck am I doing this?" If Sequoia Schmidt was an element she would be fire. She moved from NZ to the States as a 16 year old and shut the door on a disconnected childhood where she felt misunderstood and abandoned. The new life she built in L.A revolved around high rise offices and high heels, the antithesis of her small hometown of Napier, and things would have continued on this way had her father and brother not been killed in an avalanche while climbing K2.

"Some kind of bread thing" and coke with a side of ostracisation and tribalism!

There's a speech impediment. There's Roseanne. This C*ntinental Breakfast features honorary lady, Sam Brooks; playwright, journalist, stutterer and TV and Gaming Editor at The Spinoff. Regular c*ntributor Tamar Münch is also back bringing that salty jewish realness.

Opening tune: Lola's Theme by The Shapeshifters

"I've had arguments with four year olds about their saffron porridge..."

Holly Bradfield has the soul of a wandering gypsy but the mind of an accounts auditor. That's why her hair's so big, it's full of perfectionism.

We eat a high end peanut butter on a classic brand of toast bread and discuss working on the most luxurious yachts in the world, for the most demanding billionaires on the planet. And what happens when ya lose ya damn mind doing it.

This is the first instalment in what I hope will be LADIEEZ gettin togetha on the regs to talk about whatever the hell we like.

First up, my queen Tamar Münch (publicist, yogi, parasite enthusiast) and heaven on this earth, (actress/maker) Rachel House.

If you give 0 f*cks about the Oscars, skip to to the 44 minute mark where we talk about freelancing, saying NO, and happiness.

"I'd rather hang out with a bunch of dogs sometimes"

Dean O'Gorman is an actor, photographer, painter and cool person. We talk about his work, toxic masculinity and war whilst enjoying overpriced avocado on toast washed down with a cup of chemex. 

The book Dean refers to about Liberalism is Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari

The track he chose is Seven Wonders by Fleetwood Mac.
