New Mum, Who Dis?

Radio presenter Mitch Churi joins me this week for lots of LOLS and lots of heart.  From awkward interviews with famous popstars on Hamilton Island, to accidentally getting outed by a waiter...it's all in here!  We may have gone head to head in the radio ratings, but this episode is proof that when the universe wants you to be friends with someone...it'll happen. ENJOY!

With a community of over 100 thousand followers, this 'real mamma' has been entertaining and educating me on the 'gram for years.  It was a pleasure to sit down with Adele Barbaro and hear about her journey from falling in love on a Contiki tour, to getting married, navigating a career with kids and ultimately launching her own business with two little ones in tow.

As Australia opens up again after nearly two years of uncertainty and intermittent lockdowns, clinical psychologist and all around legend Dr Julie Crabtree joins the show this week to help me answer questions like ‘how do we feel safe again in the world?' and ‘how do we cultivate hope after all of this disappointment and fear?'. 

I hope you're as inspired by this conversation as I was, and I hope you walk away armed with some practical tools to get back into a life full of wonder.

After 15 years in Hollywood with starring roles in The Young and the Restless, Hannah Montana and Pretty Little Liars, Tammin Sursok has returned to Australia with her young family to work on local projects, and give her daughters a taste of relaxed Aussie life.  In this episode you'll hear about her experiences in Hollywood (spoiler alert: it's not as glamorous as you think), nearly losing her husband to COVID, and the struggles with self image that she worked through in order to become the strong, feisty and focused woman she is now, 20 years after we fell in love with her in Summer Bay.

Real name Polly Harding – this superstar of kiwi radio crossed the ditch in 2018 to take on Melbourne breakfast radio as the ‘PJ' half of KIIS 101.1's brekky show - Jase and PJ. A lot has happened since then - and in this episode we share our experiences of breaking into the industry, finding on air partners we genuinely connected with, falling in love, and ultimately choosing to walk away from the gig…something we both strangely did within months of eachother. At its heart - this chat really is about dreaming up and then creating the life you want - and the decisions we have to make (some easy, some hard) to get there. Enjoy!

Superstar ‘Sneaky Sound System' front woman Connie Mitchell brings lights, glitter and good times wherever she goes. In this episode Connie shares some hilarious stories from life on the road, performing in hot pants while 9 months pregnant in Europe, and a particularly insane birth story which involves her husband being on stage in Mykonos when she went into labour…and somehow making it home to Sydney just in time to meet his son. Connie has had to work hard to build a life that works for her and her family, and has done so with her signature wild and wonderful-ness. Enjoy!

She's not a regular Mom, she's a COOL MOM (according to me)!  Singer, songwriter, DJ, producer and mama of two Kristy Lee Peters (better known as KLP) joins me this week for one of my favourite chats so far.  There aren't that many young mamas in the local music scene, and certainly not many hitting the decks to a crowd of thousands while 9 months pregnant...so she really had to create her own path.  This chat will inspire you to model a life that works for you, and stay true to your own needs in the process!

Jamila Rizvi is an author, CEO, gender equality activist, public speaker and podcast host.  But above all else – she is a mother.  One who faced an incredibly tough battle with a brain tumour very early on in her own journey of motherhood.  In this episode Jam speaks with unfiltered honesty about the doubts she had about motherhood, the tough early days, dealing with her diagnosis while parenting a young child, and ultimately discovering that despite all her achievements – all would pale in comparison to her experience of mothering her son, Rafi. If you've ever wondered about your own life beyond motherhood, have questioned your abilities as a parent, or had a ‘scream into the pillow in secret frustration' moment, then this episode is the dose of reality you need to remind yourself that when it comes to parenthood – you're never alone.

Senator Larissa Waters is pretty badass...and not just because she's dedicated her life to protecting our most precious resource - the environment.  Not many women leave a successful career in law to enter the unforgiving world of politics - especially not with a young child.  Larissa made headlines around the world for doing something that new mums find themselves doing multiple times a day.  Breastfeeding.  The only difference?  I do it on the couch...she did it in parliament...while putting forward a motion.  Like I said. Badass. 

In this episode Larissa talks with candour and humility about raising her own girls in a landscape that's traditionally not been very forgiving for mothers (or women, really).  May we all be inspired by Larissa's determination to follow her passion and make motherhood work alongside it. Enjoy!
