Inherited

Hello!

Today, we speak to writer Bri Lee. Bri has just released her brand new novel, Seed. She is also the best-selling author of Eggshell Skull, Who Gets To Be Smart, and The Work. 

In this conversation, Bri explains why you’ll never be great if you don’t like being under the hood, focusing on what actually matters, how she balances the success, the feedback on her writing work, and the life-changing epiphany that came over her in Antarctica: choose love always.

Hi!

Today, we speak to Shameless Media’s Style-ish Podcast co-host, Anika Joshi-Smith. 

Anika is ambitious, hard-working, and someone willing to take risks. She left her hometown in New Zealand at 21 to propel herself in the Melbourne fashion scene, and it absolutely paid off; she’s the director of Sage agency.

In this conversation, Anika opens up about her 12-year relationship with her husband, James, and how losing her Dad and experiencing repeated pregnancy loss brought the two of them closer together than ever. Anika is now pregnant, and she’s reflecting on the next phase of her life, slowing down to prioritise parenthood.

Hello!

Today, we are bringing you a very special interview with Shameless Media’s very own Eilish Gilligan. Pop culture has always been a huge part of Eilish’s life, but before she started working on the Shameless Podcast, she was pursuing a career as a solo artist in music. 

In this conversation, Eilish speaks about her non-linear career trajectory and the moment she was dropped by her music manager, out of the blue, after years of hard work. She also opens up the ebbs and flows of her mental health, and how she found the strength to walk away from a toxic relationship when everyone else around her was settling down.
