Let's Talk about Boobs Baby (Sing that just like Salt and Pepa!) 

Today's solo episode is literally me talking about boobs!  I had a huge amount of personal DM's after Amy's episode a few weeks ago from people I know. I also had many from well random legends who have started to tune into the podcast and who wanted to know more about Amy's surgery journey and in particular why I have breast implants. 

I'm all for being up front about boobs and breast implants and so today's episode I discuss: 

1. Why I chose to get breast implants and how I have had not one but TWO surgeries. 
2. Experiencing capsular contracture after 6 years of having my first set and needing to make the decision to have them out and replaced. 
3. Realizing I also needed a lift and this meant researching a surgeon who had an incredible reputation....that being Dr Michael Miroshnik.  Suss him out! 
4. Having the surgery with the lift, the COST and how I didn't regret a single moment having them done. 
5. The importance of doing regular breast checks on yourself and having professional mammograms. 

If you want to know more about this topic, feel free to send me a msg, I LOVE talking about boobs!

My last LA guest is Korby Siamis, a two-time Emmy award winning writer for Murphy Brown and longtime resident of Los Angeles. 

We sit and discuss what it's like to have lived in Los Angeles the past 71 years and how the city itself has changed in that time. 

Korby and I chat about her career path and how she managed to become a writer on the hit TV series Murphy Brown. We also chat about the other shows she has worked on such as Suddenly Susan and The Middle. 

I ask Korby what it was like being a resident of the recent Pacific Palisades fires and how her husband's WhatsApp group has truly connected a community even more so now after the tragic events of the fires. 

Lastly, we discuss what its like to finally retire after the 7th time and how much joy she gets from being able to help take care of her grandchildren everyday now that they live in a closer neighbourhood. 

If you enjoy listening to women who are inspirational, then Korby's episode is for you because boy has she lived an amazing life so far and what a career she has had!

Kasey Janousek - What a dream guest! 

Kasey is my American sister Molly's, sister in law! 

Yes, a mouthful however, I HAD to get her on when I was in LA recently and sit across from her and ask all the questions!

Kasey is a Chief of Staff at a tech company in Los Angeles and has recently become a fishing influencer. Her passion for fishing and the process and everything that goes behind the actual event...is surreal. 

We chat about her love for Sth Africa and how after becoming recently divorced, she has learnt to chase her dreams, find herself again and reflect on this current season in her life. 

Kasey is only in her early 30s but sure is wise beyond her years and I truly enjoyed our conversation. She sure is one ambitious and inspirational woman!

The last out of the Miller sister series is Rebecca Miller! 

Rebecca is the youngest out of the Miller sisters, who are my American sisters in LA. She is a wife and mother to two young boys and lives in Los Angeles. 

I sat down with Rebecca when I was in LA recently to talk about her interesting job as an executive producer on reality tv shows. We also had a great chat about home births and how she had two completely different experiences with each of her sons. 

Our conversation touched on the topics of:

What it's like working and having a career in the entertainment industry as a freelance producer and some of the difficulties when it comes to being a Mum as well.

Rebecca was honest as well in that as women, we don't often talk about how joyous and healing our birth experiences can be and that a lot of the time, society does tend to fixate on the traumatic side. 

Rebecca is a passionate advocate for women and especially mothers who also want to have a career as well and want to own that!

I spent last week in LA after attending a personal branding workshop in NYC. 

I stayed with my American sister Molly Miller at her place with her husband Wylie and two young daughters. I have three American sisters in total and Molly is the one who I shared a room with and lived with in 1998 whilst on was on exchange to Nebraska. 

Molly came to Broome in 2024 for my wedding where she was a bridesmaid and we have this bond that is certainly like sisters. She is one of the most kind and generous people I have ever met. 

I really wanted to get her on the podcast to chat about what it's like working in the Entertainment Industry in LA, how she even got such a dream job and what it's like being a Mum of two young daughters, being a wife and still managing to stay sane! 

Anyone that knows Molly personally can agree that she is one of the hardest working and driven women I know. It only made sense to hear her story and hopefully inspire other ambitious Mums out there!
