Episode 2 of The Wrinkle Report goes deeper than services, it’s about people, purpose, and what it really feels like to be cared for.

Lucie sits down with Kay and Martin from Mark & Sylvie’s Homecare to talk honestly about their work, their stories, and the invisible weight that lifts when the right support is in place.

It’s not just about homecare, it’s about dignity, connection, and the difference that one conversation can make.

🎧 Listen in, reflect, and maybe re-think what ageing well could look like for you or someone you love.

Episode 45: From Silence to Fierce – Joel Bourke’s Story

What does it take to go from bullied, silenced, and shamed… to standing tall, loud, and unapologetically yourself?

This week, Hannah sits down with Joel Bourke, sharing his first-ever podcast conversation. Joel’s story is about surviving relentless bullying, finding strength in Britney Spears’ music, and ultimately learning to embrace his authentic self.

From nights spent hiding away to proudly claiming life as “Queen Joel,” this episode is a reminder that even in your darkest moments, healing and transformation are possible.

Listen in for a conversation on courage, self-expression, family, and the power of music to save lives.

Because your story matters. Always.

The Joe Show Ep.16 – Mario from Bittern Motors: From Boat to Bittern, and Why Potholes Keep Him Awake at Night

This week’s guest is Mario from Bittern Motors, a man whose story starts before he was even born. In 1960, his parents left former Yugoslavia, boarded a boat from Italy, and by the time they landed in Australia, Mario was already on the way. From Richmond to Bentleigh to Balnarring, his journey is one of grit, family, and building a business that’s now packed every single day.

We talk about:

The life lessons that come from migrating with nothing but hope.

Why potholes on the Peninsula aren’t just an inconvenience, but a silent killer of tyres, rims, and suspensions.

What happens when government decisions are made without private-sector experience.

Why Mario believes fixing crime could unlock everything else in society.

And why he still believes Australia can be the lucky country—if we find stronger leadership.

If you want your car serviced, Bittern Motors is the place. And if you want raw honesty about business, politics, and life, Mario is your man.

Inspired to Soar with Hannah – Episode #43 with Paul Edbrooke MP

Sometimes the most inspiring moments don’t come from a perfect studio setup, they come when resilience meets resourcefulness. This week, despite technical hiccups, I hit record on my phone and captured a raw and powerful conversation with Paul Edbrooke, State Member for Frankston.

Paul’s journey is one of courage, community, and service. From growing up in the Latrobe Valley, to spending 14 years as a firefighter on the frontlines of Black Saturday and the Morwell coal mine fire, to now shaping the future of Frankston in parliament , his story reminds us what real leadership looks like.

We talk firefighting, politics, mental health, and the balance between serving others and looking after yourself. Paul’s message? Resilience isn’t about being unbreakable, it’s about showing up, again and again, even when the odds feel stacked against you.

🔗 Press play and let this story remind you: no matter where you come from or what you’ve faced, you can rise, lead, and soar.

✨ Episode 42 – Rising Through Loss with James Avent

Some stories remind us just how powerful the human spirit can be.

In this episode of Inspired to Soar with Hannah, I sit down with James Avent, a singer-songwriter turned café owner whose journey is one of resilience, heartbreak, and hope. After losing both parents at a young age and battling suicidal thoughts, James made the courageous choice to fight for his life, rebuild from rock bottom, and create something that’s now transforming his community.

From music that moved legends like John Williamson and Guy Sebastian, to building Dinners with Jimmy in Hastings , a café and community hub that’s about far more than food , James shows us how healing, creativity, and second chances can change everything.

This is a story about grief, sobriety, and rising again with greater purpose than ever before.

🎧 Tune in and be inspired: no matter how broken life feels, you can rebuild, rise, and soar.
