  • Episode 36 - Jo and Scott Harris

    Jo Harris was diagnosed with stage 4 Ovarian cancer 3 years ago. Jo and her husband Scott had to travel to interstate to seek trial treatment that just wasn't available here in Tasmania.

    The time spent travelling was less time for rest, and of course making memories with family and friends.

    As Jo continues to fight, they have both taken on another challenge, joining forces with State Government, UTAS, and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and cancer support group S.H.E to help develop and build a Cancer Research and Wellness Centre right here in Tasmania.

    Scott and Jo have been the leaders on this, as they are driven to see change so that other families experiencing the same challenges, can face them right here in our own state.

    In this episode, Scott and Jo open up on everything from facing cancer and the struggles that brings both physically and mentally. Their reasons around the drive to see a center set up here in Hobart, and we talk about the future and what other humps and hurdles might be on their way.

    Make sure you also look out for the specially made Jack Jumpers jersey's this week (Jan 29), as the players wear "Teal" in support for the SHE Gynecological Cancer Group in their match here in Hobart - You can donate, visit the auction, and purchase virtual seats here - aus.givergy.com/TasmaniaJackJumpers

    Thank you so much to Jo and Scott for their vulnerability in sitting with me in this very special episode.

    Enjoy!

  • Episode 35 - Meriem Daoui

    It was an absolute pleasure to have the recently crowned Tasmanian Young Australian of the Year Meriem Daoui on the podcast.

    A Tasmanian marathon runner and registered nurse, Meriem uses her running as a way to do good and give back to so many others.

    Born in Morocco, Meriem relocated to Tasmania at age 10 where she experienced racism and was bullied for wearing a hijab.

    Anxiety, depression and eating disorders plagued her teenage years, but the support she received during her adversities inspired her to give back to the community.
    Now 23, Meriem has also used marathons to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research.
    She most recently conquered the Everest challenge, running the Point-to-Pinnacle course, also known as the world’s hardest half-marathon, every day for one week.
    The challenge raised over $12,000.

    What a pleasure to hear about Meriem’s incredible life journey - Such an incredible story, at such a young age.

    Meriem has won awards all over the place but on January 25 she may well become Young Australian of the Year – which I think she has a very BIG chance.

    Enjoy!

  • Episode 34 - Mark Acheson
    Mark Acheson is just a normal Tassie guy who quite simply decided to design something to help others.
    Whilst dealing with over 5 months of Melbourne lockdowns, with a couple of mates, Mark developed Crisis Heroes. A marketplace app for people to give, and of course receive random acts of kindness.
    He now has rebranded to ‘Kindly’ and is working tirelessly to grow an initiative that he believes the world needs – and how right he is. Kindly now has 20,000 users and has seen thousands use the app to give or get help.
    Adding to this, Mark has many other fascinating elements to him, he continues to face mental health challenges and be open about that, sadly also his Dad passed away this year after battling cancer. In his honor, we discuss how and why Mark cycled over 230 kilometers in a day.
    I loved unpacking Mark’s life in this episode, hearing about his challenges, learning about his ambitions, he simply is a very inspiring guy, and I know you will be deeply moved.

  • Episode 33 - Hannah Radcliffe

    Hannah Radcliffe is the Founder of the very successful Tasmanian Born business, Francesca Jewellery.

    A prominent businesswoman, Mum of 2 children, wife, avid supporter of charity and a leader here in Tasmania.

    It was a pleasure to unpack many different areas of Hannah’s life. From starting and growing a business as a teenager and her lessons and learnings from through that journey. Running the business with her sister and the gratitude they feel to do that together each day. We chatted about the importance of culture within an organisation. Hannah’s passion for human trafficking after a lucky escape herself in Hong Kong, and the ongoing affects that has had on her life.  And we also spoke about the challenges Hanna and her husband BJ faced when becoming a Mum to her daughter Vienna.

    Hannah is an amazingly kind and genuine person, and I was really grateful to get an insight into her world.

    Enjoy!
