Power Up Life

Hey you! Welcome to our bonus episode with Sarah Davidson, Author and Host of Seize The Yay Podcast and Co-Founder of Matcha Maiden and Matcha Mylkbar.

In case you didn’t know, Sarah just recently published her first book, Seize The Yay! It’s full of sliding door moments, quotables, top tips and other fab resources. 

In this bonus ep, Sarah and Gianna chat about her book as a springboard to give you a whole lot of tools to help you feel more confident and chill at the same time. We chat about what imposter syndrome feels like, the power of mates who challenge you and even how to write a book. Plus, loads more.

In Seize The Yay, Sarah describes herself as, “Equal parts nerd-burger bookworm and crazy, arty-farty performer kid.” This pretty much sums up this bonus ep as well!

Let’s Power Up Life.

AFL Finals fever is upon us! Now whether you’re a footy fan or not, it’s a time where loads of Aussies come together and celebrate sport and community across the country! And if you’re in Victoria, you even get a public holiday every year, right before the Grand Final!

This year’s footy season, like everything else, hasn’t quite gone to plan. The season had a few stop-start moments, which in the end led to the creation of an AFL hub up in sunny Queensland.

Just before the BIG move to Queensland took place, Gianna had the opportunity of chatting with an AFL player who’s on a mission to create a better world when it comes to men’s mental health. This guy is an absolute legend and SO authentic.

So on that, we’re so excited to introduce you to this week’s guest on Power Up Life, AFL Player, and number 19 for the Melbourne Football Club, Mitch Hannan. As well as being an AFL player, Mitch is also the Co-Founder of Mendl, a lifestyle brand with all profits from their apparel going to men’s mental health charities.

On top of this week’s awesome challenge, Mitch and Gianna talk about:

• His childhood – growing up on an acreage with his family, his love for gymnastics, and footy. 
• His world during high school and uni before his professional footy career began!
• Why he co-founded his social enterprise Mendl and his BIG goals for it.
• His mission to break down stigmas in the AFL world, especially being a heavily dominated male industry. 
• The pressures that come with being a professional athlete and a public figure. 
• The effects of social media on mental health and his advice.
• Mitch also opens up about his battle with anxiety and how it’s made him who he is today. 

Also, a quick content warning on this episode, as we cover a range of mental health issues. Listener discretion is advised. If you do need someone to talk to, you can always ring the wonderful people at Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800.

Isn’t it your lucky day? Because this week we’re dropping not one, but TWO episodes with Speaker, Author, Aboriginal Rights Advocate and Happow Ambassador, Marlee Silva!

When it comes to Aboriginal culture and history, Marlee is like a well-resourced library. She’s incredibly knowledgeable. So we decided to take full advantage of this and ask Marlee a stack of questions, because to be totally honest, there was a lot we didn’t know about Indigenous culture and history. So we wanted to educate ourselves and others who too would love to learn more!

Marlee was so gracious and respectful of Gianna’s questions, and her answers and perspective were eye-opening and insightful. Gianna and Marlee spoke openly about some BIG issues that still exist today.

Fun fact. Did you know Aboriginal history spans 80,000 years! This is just one of the many facts Marlee and Gianna spoke about. Here’s some other stuff they covered too:

• Aboriginal Countries in Australia and Torres Strait Islands
• Skin names in central Australia
• Dreamtime
• The meaning of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags
• Why Uluru means so much to Aboriginal people
• The significance of the Southern Cross
• The 2005 Cronulla riots 
• The link between racism and fear
• How far we've come as a society and our hopes for the future

Hope you get a lot out of this chat just like we did.

…So, for the second time this week, let’s once again Power Up Life!

We’re thrilled to introduce you to this week’s guest on Power Up Life. She’s one extraordinarily talented boss babe, advocate and much more.

Her name is Marlee Silva – a Gamilaroi and Dunghutti woman who is Co-Founder of Tiddas4Tiddas, a social media initiative, which is dedicated to celebrating Indigenous women and girls through storytelling.

Marlee is a breath of fresh air. She’s so funny and so wise – an exceptional human who also happens to be a speaker, author and host of the super-successful ‘Always Was, Always Will Be Our Stories’ Podcast. She also happens to be a Happow ambassador as well!

Marlee is a true inspiration. Despite lacking confidence in high school, she decided to push through in order to pursue her dreams despite her fears, and look at her now! It just goes to show who you think you are in high school in no way determines your future. And that’s something to get excited about. 

By the way, if you’re keen to know the challenge Gianna and Marlee went to head-to-head with, they played Heads Up! No pun intended.

It’s been one tough year, from bushfires to Coronavirus and everything in between, it’s totally natural to feel overwhelmed.

Somebody who knows this feeling first-hand is Dr. Jodi Richardson. She’s not only a best-selling author and speaker, she’s also an anxiety expert, because she too experiences it, even as an adult. 

Because 2020 has been an extra difficult one, we thought to invite Jodi onto the show because she’s such an awesome human with a stack of knowledge.

In this episode, Gianna and Jodi go deep, with no question off the table. And because of that…

• Jodi opens up about her own struggle with an anxiety disorder
• She tells us how we can recognise the signs of stress and anxiety in our own lives
• And explains the difference between anxiety and an anxiety disorder
• Plus, she shares a whole lot of tips to help us manage stress and anxiety and so much more. 
• And of course, like every episode Jodi reveals what she’s grateful for and then to finish off we go head-to-head in a challenge called Pick Your Pillar. 

So let’s #PowerUpLife!

If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed and needing immediate support, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 and in an emergency, always dial triple 000.

We’re so excited to introduce you to our first guest on Power Up Life. This guy is one of the most talented, selfless and passionate people we’ve got to know. 

Meet Jules Lund, one of Australia’s most well-known faces in the media industry. 

Jules was born in 1979, however you’d think he was born in 1999 because he’s young at heart. After finishing high school, Jules studied Graphic Design, Photography and Film before winning FOX FM’s '15 Days of Fame' competition back in 2001, which launched his media career.

Jules has hosted some of Australia’s biggest TV and radio shows, working alongside Fifi Box, Sophie Monk and many other household names. For not 1 but 8 years Jules was a presenter on Getaway, Australia's longest-running travel and lifestyle TV show!

These days Jules is the Founder of global influencer marketing platform called Tribe. Since its launch back in 2015, Tribe has seen huge growth with offices in New York, London, Sydney and Melbourne. They also get to work with many of the world’s biggest brands. 

But here’s the thing. Jules was a troubled kid in high school. He went through some stuff, and he admits he’s still learning life lessons today. 

Jules and Gianna chatted about everything and anything. And one thing’s for sure, he has one inspiring story to tell.
