Slay Your Way

Are you settling in your relationship? This week I sat down with love coach Angela Barrett to discuss everything that could be stopping you from having the most fulfilling relationship possible.

Angela works to the teachings in the New York Times best selling book 'Calling in the one' by author Katherine Woodward Thomas.

If you're unfamiliar with the book, it makes an ambitious promise that in 7 week's you can attract the love of your life.

In this episode we unpack;

- Is the concept of 'the one' real?

- How to know if you're settling in your relationship.

- Are relationships meant to be hard?

- What to do if you're the kind of person that moves too hard too fast when you first meet someone.

- What to do if you feel like there's no one out there for you.

And lastly, how do you know if you've found 'the one'.

If you're single and looking for 'the one', or alternatively in a relationship you're unsure about (or haven't consciously chosen), or alternativethis episode is for you.

If you're a filmmaker, get to know Genevieve Clay-Smith.

It was such a pleasure interviewing Genevieve Clay-Smith. She's a Film Director Co-Founder and Executive Director of Bus Stop Films and Non-Executive Director of Taste Creative. PHWOAR, content and creative powerhouse.

At 20 years old Genevieve won Tropfest (one of the most prestigious film festival in Australia until 2019) and although she used that credibility to land clients when she started her production company–Taste Creative (which she built with her now husband in the closet of their apartment).

Genevieve also advocates for adults with disabilities to enter the film industry via her not for profit But Stop Films.

We talk about the importance of inclusivity in film, the lack of representation for marginalised communities in film and how having low expectations rob's people of their opportunity and potential.

If you're studying film, starting a production company or are just generally interested in how you can be more inclusive in your filmmaking then I know you'll enjoy this one.

If you're feeling stuck and frustrated, yearning for more but unsure where to start, this episode is for you. It's completely natural to reach a point in your career where you question your path and consider making a change. But before you jump into the job search process, it's crucial to first ask yourself some pivotal questions. In this ep you'll learn: - The importance of an exit strategy that ensures you make the most of your current role while you're there and has you exiting graciously. - What role your values play in being able to identify the right kind of work for you. - The importance of uncovering your real 'why' and how to do it. - What is lifestyle design? And how to use it to your advantage. - How to comfortably test out ideas with minimal risk so you can gather information and clarity on which direction is right for you. - The psychology of decision making and what it means to make a 'right' or 'wrong' decision. - The myth of passion and why passion alone is not enough to sustain a fulfilling career. Still stuck? Download the free 'Life GPS: from lost to laser focused' journal. Ask Dani questions at Slay Your Way here.

Michelle Owen is a creative powerhouse and founder of Almost Real–a source of fine art photography and visual art by a collective of globabl artists and reatives.

Michelle was a DJ for 20 years doing the circuit at Sydney clubs like Sounds on Sunday, Chinese Laundry, Tank and Home.

After spending more than 6 years expanding her DJing career overseas, Michelle returned home to Australia to make a passion pivot, and in 2014 launched Almost Real–interviewing and showcasing work from creatives and artists from an alternative world. It's not a real world it's an almost real world.

I love Michelle's philosophy on creativity and life. She is someone who has explored her passions full throttle without explanation. There's something really refreshing about someone who fearlessly pursues their interests, gets really good at something and starts getting paid for their skills.

Even more impressive is someone who doesn't allow their ego to get in the way and knows when something isn't working for them anymore.

All the way from Bali where she now resides, Michelle shares how she got into DJing, doing the Sydney and Berlin circuit then founding Almost Real.

Lou Bannister was half of the brains behind the inception of the iconic Frankie Magazine. Born from the offices of the publishing company she was employed at–Lou and a colleague put the proposal for Frankie Magazine on their boss's desk prior to leaving for a trip to Africa.

By the time they returned, Frankie Magazine had been given the green light to go ahead. Cutting through the noise of Dolly and Girlfriend magazines at the time, Frankie provided a more grass-roots alternative for the creative real-girl who wanted more from mags than the 'sealed section'.

Following Frankie, Lou has launched many successful publications with the most recent being Lunch Lady, inspired by a blog of the same name originally created by Kate Berry.

Lou is a thought leader in the publishing space, a genius at recognising gaps in the market and filling them with relevant publications which serve and inspire audiences.

This Byron living mum of 3 is full of clever anecdotes about carving your own creative path, in business and life. A true, quality content creator who knows how to merge ideas and brands with humans.

A little TMI this week. I dish the tea on being burnt out from 7 years of freelancing, having my boyfriend end our relationship over a text message and moving to a tropical island to focus on my health.

I break down the results of spending $3,000 on medical tests and the detailed info it provided me that you can't get from your regular GP. Results like cortisol levels, gut health, immunity and predisposition to disease.

If you're currently in a health rut, low energy, wanting more out of life but stuck in the same cycle of reaching for take-out and skipping the gym, this one's for you. ESPECIALLY if you're freelancing, I feel you. It's rough out there trying to do ALL THE THINGS.

Consider this episode your friendly (but blunt) nudge to take stock of how you feel and finally take the steps towards improving your state, however small those steps may be.

Uppy Media founder, Laura Piccardi, wasn't always the bold and fearless woman in front of me today.

Less than a decade ago, she stood on the street while she watched the fire brigade fight tirelessly to save her business.

After watching her brick and mortar business burn to the ground, Laura was back to square one and went on a windy journey of stress, burnout and re-discovery to figure out what the 'f' to fo next.

Now, her purpose is to make a positive difference in people's lives. Her favourite way to do that is to teach leaders and teams how to leverage the way their brains work, so they can achieve what they want without burning out…and have a bloody good time in the process!

Her company, Uppy, brings together her experience as an executive coache, NLP practitioner, stress management expert, business leader and comedian to deliver unique learning experiences. Laura is also the author of the bestselling book Unfaked (uppy.com.au/unfaked), co-owner of two Italian pasta bars and obsessed fur-mum to my little doggo, Tony! Connect with Laura and Uppy:

If you don't know the bright, bubbly, mermaid that is Bobbi Lockyer–strap in.

Bobbi was named NAIDOC artist of the year in 2021, is a creator for Nikon, and has had her photographs published in Vogue Magazine.

She was told in school 'you can't make money doing art'. She spent a lot of her youth burying her true self so she could fit in–a story we all know too well. We chat about divorce and how leaving her marriage allowed her to dye her hair and finally wear lipstick. She's now a rebel in her own right, making waves (and a living) doing something she loves.

On a mission to get her power back and find her true identitity, Bobbi has used art to come back to herself. It's a true story of saying a big "f you" to society, expectations and not settling for a less than fulfilling life. I'm really excited for you to meet Bobbi Lockyer.
