Reunion: The Podcast

Grace & Eliza do a debrief on the podcast so far.

With a little Q&A.

And a fair bit of rambling.

We've loved Season 1 of Reunion: The Podcast!

Amelia Kelly works for a funds management company in Utah, America.

She lives with her husband Bergin who's also a mad-keen skier. They have two little kids.

School was a bumpy ride for Amelia. She was an excellent swimmer, whilst also partying hard. She had low self-esteem. In the later years, things got a bit wobbly for Amelia and school became a bit of a wild ride.

In this episode, she reflects on school and finding herself in her 20s.

Bridgid Hutton lives in California with her husband Matt and two step-children.

She's a nurse who's working on the Pfizer Covid-19 trial for children at Stanford University.

Bridgid was a very sporty school girl who made the most of all Loreto had to offer. Bridgid was - and continues to be - a chillaxed Aussie chick adapting to a new culture in America.

Phoebe Lewis is a social worker who lives in Sydney with her husband Matt and two kids.

She loved her time at Loreto. A giggle was never far away. Phoebe had bucketloads of EQ. She had a keen instinct about people and an endless curiosity about people’s lives.

Katrina Lau lives in Sydney with her husband Gordon and two little boys.

She was not artistic. We got that wrong. (She loved maths).

Katrina didn't love her high school years. But with adulthood came more freedom and happiness. She has found a great comfort in faith.

From renovation to religion, the conversation introduces you to a more confident and content Katrina than the girl from school.

Carla Johnston was mature beyond her years at school.

Maybe that's because she was the youngest in a family of three super-smart sisters. But she always had a strong sense of self.

It was a conversation at the last school reunion five years ago that prompted this podcast idea. It made Grace marvel at the honesty of high school connections. Despite never having been close friends and not seeing eachother for many years, within minutes Carla and Grace were having a deep talk.

Carla is Mum to three young girls and runs her own pilates business with two studios in Sydney.

Courtenay McDermott was an integral member of the school community.

She was musical, astute and had loads of street smarts.

Courts has overcome some serious personal crises over the past three years with the help of her close group of friends, many who she first met in prep.

She lives in Sydney and its a marketing and events specialist (which comes as no shock to those of us lucky to attend of her parties at school).

Kate Inglis is a clinical psychologist and runs her own business in Canberra. She lives there with her partner Roddy and her three year old son Charlie.

She specialises in the treatment of complex trauma, psychosis & anxiety.

This was not the path she thought she'd take in life when she left Loreto in 2001. In fact, she had firm plans to be a hot-shot lawyer, who earnt lots of money and lived in a nice part of Sydney.

But life took some very unexpected twists and turns and left this guest with moments of despair.

Kate has emerged stronger and more content. She loves her life in Canberra where she plans to live until she retires up to Queensland with her partner.

Susan Tucker moved to the tropics for a two year assignment about a decade ago and never moved back to Australia.

At school she had a healthy mix of grit, sass and mild rebellion. She was, well, a little bit daunting.

In this conversation Susan looks back fondly at Loreto, particularly what she describes as a "spirit of feminism" that was fostered by school.

She tells Grace and Eliza about a particular connection she formed with a Loreto teaching icon.

They want to find out why.
