In this month's episode, we interview Shannyn all about her career as a mechanic and hear from her about the things she does to ensure she is making an impact where she is passionate.

As a young person, Shannyn was offered the opportunity to work for a local mechanic after falling in love with his car and found quickly that there was no place she would rather be then understanding the mechanics of mechanics both from under the hood and in the office.

Through fire, strength and determination she has forged her way as a female mechanic and speaks about the importance of creating space for a woman's touch in the workplace; and more specifically, male-dominated industries.

With swift problem solving skills and proven competence from multiple angles, Shannyn proves that women in STEM are not to underestimated.

Join us to learn more about her journey and reflections on how to gear up for some tough work that's unarguably (by me and her former boss) done better by women.

Welcome to the month of April and what is simply abundance of life, opportunity and unmeasurable moments which will support you to feel recognised, understood and validated.

Grab a notebook and a pen and write down the dates of the remaining days in the month taking a simple moment to acknowledge and notice how abundance truly flows to you and how the universe is aligning to help you step into your fullest potential.

There’s confidence… and then there’s real confidence: the kind that isn’t just styled for the outside world, but built from within.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the incredible Kimmi Jayne who truly embodies both style and confidence in all that she does.

As a fashion blogger, a social media marketing professional, and a former Ms Australia, she’s someone who deeply understands the connection between how we present ourselves, how we feel within ourselves and how to can work to embolden ourselves to show up more confidently.

We dive into the world of fashion as more than just clothing and it’s ability to support self- expression, identity, and creative energy, and we unpack the mindset shifts that actually create confidence (not just the illusion of it).

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your confidence, questioned your worth, or wondered how to truly own your presence: this conversation is for you!

We’ve always been told the same thing: be honest, tell the truth, don’t keep secrets.

But what if it’s not that simple?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the uncomfortable reality that many women already know: Sometimes, secrets aren’t about deception… they’re about protection. Sometimes, a lie isn’t weakness… it’s survival.

This conversation explores the hidden role that silence, secrets, and even dishonesty can play in navigating unsafe spaces, complex relationships, and moments where telling the truth didn’t feel like an option.

We talk about:

• When silence becomes self-preservation
• The kinds of lies we tell to stay safe or avoid harm
• The emotional weight of carrying untold stories
• How to recognise when something that once protected you is now holding you back
• Reclaiming your voice on your own terms

This isn’t about glorifying dishonesty. It’s about understanding the why behind it; and creating space for women to reflect on their experiences without shame.

Because sometimes, the story isn’t just about finding your voice… it’s about understanding why you had to stay quiet in the first place.

Listen in, reflect, and ask yourself:

Is what I’m holding onto still protecting me; or is it time to let it go?

In this month's guest episode I speak to my energetic and enthusiastic friend Joan on her journey into having her first.

From physical changes attributed to growing a person, to mindset shifts to prepare her to filter out the noise, Joan gives us insight into some of the best and worst moments of being a young mother.

At 22, Joan speaks about the sparks which came from excitement knowing truly that this was a journey she was made for from the moment she knew she was pregnant and some of the difficulties which arose to surprise her throughout the early days.

From 25 hospital admissions due to an unforeseen medical complication to breaking up with people who no longer served who she was becoming as a mother, join us in this quietly confident episode about entering the next best stages of your life.

As we move into March, I wanted to create a space for something a little slower, a little deeper, and a little more intuitive.

This episode is for the women who know they are meant for more, the women who are stepping into their power, their purpose, and their potential, but who sometimes find themselves feeling disconnected from that higher version of themselves.

Being a high-value woman isn’t about perfection, productivity, or having everything figured out. It’s about alignment. It’s about knowing your worth, honouring your boundaries, nurturing your growth, and showing up for your life with intention.

But the truth is, even the most self-aware women experience moments where they feel out of sync, with their intuition, their direction, or their deeper purpose.

That’s where the March Oracle episode comes in.

In this episode, we’re going to explore oracle guidance for the month ahead, gentle reflections and messages designed to help you reconnect with yourself, realign with what truly matters, and step back into the energy of the woman you are becoming.

If you’ve been feeling a little lost, a little uncertain, or simply ready to deepen your connection to yourself, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and receive.

So take a breath, get comfortable, and let’s see what guidance March has in store!

In this episode we interview my valued colleague from Country Girl Management (CGM), Alex.

Alexandra Sarandis has been across the slopes in her life and with every rise and fall, she has redefined what it means to be determined, strong and confident.

Alex uses some of the most difficult moments in her life as the catalyst for rising to meet her potential and reminds us all how easy it is to get things wrong and how important it is to climb back up the mountain to reaching your dreams too.

From the in's and outs of business ownership, to building engaged audiences on social media and being transparent about her "work in progress" status, Alex helps us reshape what it means to be confident and transform our beliefs around perspective and success.

Here's the Quick 101: No one who ever was, was ready the first time around.

No matter how much preparation, how many mic checks or how many crisis plans you have, you're never going to be ready for it all.

But, there is a way to remind your nervous system who you are and become dynamic and flexible unlike anyone you've ever met... how? DO IT ALL BEFORE YOU FEEL READY.

This episode is a straight down the line pep talk about cutting through the bull stuff to get to the good stuff.

In the famous word of LSKD, "move fast, break shit" but always keep learning, growing and becoming the best version of you.

This month's bonus episode comes from the beautiful Taylee who has been recently (on Australia Day) awarded Cessnock's Young Citizen of the Year for her outstanding work with the local community!

Taylee is a young mother with her own advocacy mission, Beyond the Label, aimed at raising awareness of the experiences of young parents and breaking down stigma which she feels is still attached to the label.

For too long, Taylee experienced stigma as a young parent and her advocacy project aims to eliminate this for young people and give them a supportive platform to share their experiences, combat challenges together and connect to shoulder their experiences so that they can raise a generation of children who are not impacted by the stigma faced by their parents.

In addition, with 10 years of pageantry experience Taylee speaks to us about her nomination for Young NSW Woman of the Year and her endeavours as Ultimate International Ms Australia.

Taylee details how motherhood supports her passions and drives her to be more determined with every passing year. Taylee's episode is a beautiful reminder of the power of perseverance and the humble reminder that accepting help when you need it can be truly be a catalyst for change.
