Kristy O'Brien is a journalist, presenter and documentary maker based in the Northern Territory. Her job has taken her around Australia and the globe. Her passion is telling and sharing the stories of people who live and work on the land in some of the most remote parts of Australia. 

In the other side of her life, Kristy is married to Michael Gunner - the NT's former Chief Minister. In that role, she preferred to take a quieter, supporting role as the NT’s first lady, balancing the career of her husband and her own, as well as entering early motherhood.

But her most important job to date has been as Mum to their beautiful boys - Hudson and Nash. It's a role which Kristy has had to learn to accept and adapt to in her new identity.

Originally from Engadine in Sydney, Sammy Perry is one of Darwin's best known floral artists, but is now bringing Aboriginal fashion to the world through her work with DAAF.

She's worked in NYC as a florist, but lost her job after the 9/11 terror attacks, has two children through IVF and stayed in Darwin for the lamb....we mean kids. She stayed in Darwin for the kids.

Sammy has lived 10 lifetimes in one, has discovered the beauty of the NT, and is now working tirelessly to spread the good word of the Territory.

Born and raised in Alice Springs, Jamie Collins is a proud eastern Arrernte woman now living in Darwin.

She's got her plate full with two young kids, a full time job and running her own successful business - My Glow Darwin.

To add to all that, she's also part of the Indigenous Marathon Project, and will be travelling to New York in late 2023.

She's terrible at cooking, wants to teach her kids to speak up for themselves and tells a good story about a Freddo Frog.

Her gut is always right, she's changed a shocking nappy where no one wants to change a nappy, and has huge goals for My Glow Darwin.

She's personality + and is a role model for young indigenous women in this honest chat, our first one back after a few week's break.

Paediatrician Dr Louise Woodward doesn’t wear cape, but a stethoscope around her neck.

She’s a well-known general paediatrician in Darwin, who moved here with her husband and young daughter a decade ago. Now a mum of three, she’s still here 12 years later.

Louise has a breadth of experience in all areas of paediatrics from newborn to late teens, and her goal is to improve the care of all children in the Top End through advocacy, medical education, and providing high-quality service. 

Working at both Royal Darwin and Darwin Private Hospitals, as well as in her own practice, Louise is also heavily involved with the Humpty Dumpty Foundation, and her story there is nothing short of phenomenal. 

As the famous Ray Martin said - she’s made miracles happen.

Natasha Fyles has been in politics since 2012, when she was elected as the Member for Nightcliff. She’s now 12 months into her Chief Ministership.

But her political persuasion and decisions, whether you agree with them or not, and the job as a whole, are a small part of who she is. 

You might see her on your television, hear her on your radio, see her at the Nightcliff Markets, or on the floor of Parliament. To many, she’s just a politician, but she's also mum. She packs lunchboxes, washes school uniforms, signs excursion paperwork and feeds a dog every single day. She’s a born and bred Territorian, a former teacher, and mum to two gorgeous boys. 

It certainly hasn’t been an easy journey for her and her family. To be frank, some things you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.

But somehow - impressively - she still manages to hold it all together and turns up day after day all while in the public eye. 

In her most raw and honest interview yet, Natasha Fyles reveals the mum behind the politician.

Beccy Pryer and her fiancé Kat have recently welcomed their little boy Jed - a beautiful and happy little boy, now 14 months old.

He exists thanks to the generous donation from a stranger on the other side of the world, with Beccy sharing a heartfelt message to their donor.

In this interview, we delve into a same sex relationship and the difficulties and joys of going through IVF and finding the perfect donor to start a family.

Love pho? Kat and Beccy each reckon they know the best place to get the best pho in Darwin, and Sally joins us for her first ever podcast appearance.

This episode is a first, where Molly and Kathleen chat to two guests.

These ladies, Sorcha and Jenna, are two of four woman who call themselves Three Maas and a RaRa. 

They're a a group of like-minded mums and a grandmother - affectionately known as their RaRa - who are raising awareness and funding for Autism NT. 

Their passion and drive comes from personal experience, with each member of their team having a loved one on the spectrum. Last year, they raised a personal best fundraising goal of $10,000 and their blue shirts are hard to miss while walking around Darwin.

They’re by no means experts but want to raise awareness, understanding, and acceptance to create a more inclusive and safer community for all kids.

Join us for this heartwarming chat with two wonderful Darwin mums.
