Fruitful Conversations

Who gets up your nose?  Who do you like hanging out with?  What annoys other people about YOU?  Is that even possible?

In this last episode of the season I share a quick rundown of the Fruit personality characteristics before diving into stories and scenarios which allow us to see ourselves and each other in a different way.  Perspective is everything! And then we take a good look at how we can bring out our own inner Fruit to be the very best versions of ourselves.

You may find a slice of Lime  within that you never knew existed. Jump on in to the silly but extremely useful world of Fruit in which I live.

Big Banana hugs to all of you for listening in this season.
Be kind to each other.

For almost twenty years, Moya Sayer Jones wrote comedy for TV, print and theatre, too much to mention here, but including Ferals, Bananas in Pyjamas and Petals. She’s also the author of four fiction books.

But it was when she wrote her first non fiction book, a collection of stories about families suffering disadvantage, that her career took another turn and Moya founded Only Human Stories.

We talked about growing up as the youngest of four sisters, her early adventures in writing and cycling through Europe, playing at the Edinborough Fringe, and lots about story and the great power it brings to us as businesses, but also as individuals.

Enjoy the articulate, learned and very fun Moya Sayer Jones.

What I love about this season in the Northern Rivers is that I get to talk to people with very different backgrounds and life journeys to myself. Because this is how I open up and learn.

 If you are a practical Apple who doesn’t like woo woo, ignore this podcast at your peril.  Because it is packed full of useful shit.

Seriya Cutbush is a yogini (that’s a female. Yogi, people) certified in a bunch of stuff. Daoist yin yoga, Sivananda hatha yoga, kahuna bodywork and shamanism, a massage therapist, liquid crystal practitioner, energetic healer, soul retrieval therapsit, sound therapist  and passionate Kirtan singer – chanting stuff.

 As cofounder of Sound Healing Australia, the heart of her work is healing and as the name suggests, she’s super passionate about sound as a healing tool.

We talked about parenting, her life as a hippy baby from 6 months old

 If you expect her to be all soft and floaty and speak in a whisper, you’ll be surprised. I found a strong businesswoman with a big laugh, a great sense of a self and a gift for healing.

Come on, dive on in and enjoy Seriya Cutbush.

 I was excited to chat to today's guest. Susi Muddiman. OAM,  is the Director of the Tweed Regional Art Gallery and Margaret Olley Centre just outside Murwillumbah.

She’s a local from Lismore and  has worked as the director of three regional galleries in NSW over the last 20 years. She has always worked in this sector for which she is overflowing with passion and I suspect it never feels like work for her.

 We talked a lot about art, as you would expect, what it means, what it can do for us, how to buy it. We talked about finding love later in life, and what makes you happy in a relationship. Punctuation, for example, and a great voice. Apart from art,  she loves shiny things and doesn’t like to get dirty. She’s fab.

Toni Scanlan is a stage and television actress, singer, dancer, teacher and director, probably best known to TV viewers as Senior Sargent Helen Blakemore on police drama Water Rats. 

Her acting credits are too long to list but notably she won Best Actress in a Lead Role, twice, in the Sydney Theatre Awards, once for King Tide and once for All My sONS.

Born a Perth girl to a single mum, Toni trained in London before making Sydney, and then the Northern Rivers of NSW, home. We talked about a lot about acting, and it struck me how much the process mirrors real life.  We talked about TV vs stage, farting, fluffing your lines and why Greek wives are the funniest.

Enjoy the talented, thoughtful and entertaining Toni Scanlan.

It's Easter 2023 (and some of you may not remember this is a Christian festival) so it's timely that I introduce you to the the Poster Girl for God. Stay with me. You won’t regret it.

The Rev Rosie Wynter is a bit of a find. She’s been a model, a successful retail business owner, a musician, worked in natural therapies for 10 years, had a catering company, renovated houses and had bed and breakfasts (currently still does) and now is an Anglican priest.

Our lovely conversation, which included tea and biscuits with the vicar (had to be done) covered a range of topics, including Rosie’s personal experience with domestic violence, how the traditional church has to evolve, how to get back up again when you’re knocked down – physically and metaphorically, and why she is not religious.

Straighten your stockings, put on your lips and smile for the camera. 

Enjoy the refreshingly normal Reverend Rosie  Wynter.

Please be aware our discussion on DV could be potentially triggering.

Today’s episode is a classic if you’re thinking about jumping off a cliff – metaphorically! and changing your career.  Anna Mortimer is co-owner and head chef (the only chef actually) at the unassuming and fabulous little French bistro in Brunswick Heads called Honour. But before cheffing she was a communications and management consultant for big corporations such as Deloitte.

Here she shares that journey between different worlds. We chatted about her time in Paris, from working in a Michelin star restaurant to finding love,  her foray into butchery, along  with her most embarrassing moments and importantly, tips for a good red lip. This episode should come with a warning. We talk A LOT about food.

Enjoy the talented and  refreshingly down to earth Anna Mortimer.

 We’ve split her podcast into two episodes. because there was just so much interesting stuff to learn. In this episode Arabella talks broadly about indigenous culture and history, her great grandmother and the impact on her life and how the missionaries shaped her family of 3000 people.

 Enjoy the erudite Arabella Douglas.

Janet Swain is all about the music. She’s had such a diverse and eclectic musical career which has seen her live in Tokyo, Singapore and Kuwait before settling back in Mullumbimby here on Bundjalung country 9 years ago.

 She is a big hearted singer/songwriter who plays bassoon, piano and ukulele and shares her passion working with community choirs where she’s had wide ranging success.

 We talked about her forthcoming show in late February 2023 at the Adelaide Fringe, Delphi Goes Bassooning, how it came about and the great inter generational connection of women in her family. We also chatter about how this daughter of a Methodist minister became a Catholic, you get to hear her sing a few bars and learn why you should not enter lightly into rebirthing.

 Enjoy the charming and very interesting Janet Swain.
