My Warm Table ... with Sonia

I am very excited to welcome you to My Warm Table Season 2. 

Over the last few months, we’ve done a lot of thinking, listened to your survey feedback and tried to sharpen the focus of the podcast a little more. 

My Warm Table Podcast is an independent podcast which is unashamedly focussed on Western Australians. It’s my way of adding some positivity to our state’s media landscape and amplifying the smart, kind, values-driven people in our communities who are out there doing good.

So this season around the warm table we will be talking about Passion and Purpose. It’s a theme that really resonates with me as I again throw myself into this podcast passion project!

Warmest thanks to:
Females Over 45 Fitness - Season 2 Sponsor
Damon Sutton - Sound Engineer Extraordinaire

My Warm Table, translated into Italian is Tavola Calda. These were the words my Papa used to describe a table of good friends, good food and good conversation. I always aim to create a tavola calda in my life and I hope this podcast encourages you to do so too!

I’m sneaking in this live and raw episode of My Warm Table recorded on 28 March 2023 with Season 1 guest Sister of Mercy Anne Tormey. 

I had the privilege of hosting a conversation with Sr Anne during the 25 year reunion of the Catherine McAuley Developing Women in Leadership and Service Award.  

We celebrated this milestone in the olive grove at MercyCare Wembley - a foundation sponsor of the Award Program.  Speakers on the night included Award co-founder Elena Douglas, convenor Rosa Speranza and our evening’s MC Jenni Del Marco. 

I’m sharing this conversation with Sr Anne for all the Catherine McAuley Award women who couldn’t be there at the event and for the My Warm Table podcast listeners who enjoyed the deep wisdom and encouragement from Sr Anne last season. 

Enjoy this live recording and raw episode!

Migraine attacks are not just bad headaches. They can be debilitating and as My Warm Table guest Brenda Moore explains, migraine is a complex genetic neurological disorder.

Brenda shares her lived experience of migraine and how after much angst she accepted the disability as a constant in her life, finding effective treatments and life work balance. 

Brenda has established her own productivity consultancy, working on her own terms and also helping others understand the superpowers of migraine. 

*NB audio correction:  Brenda refers to some medication as “off-brand” in our interview, but instead this should have been “off-lable”. 

Duration: 40 minutes.
