Todays guest Carissa Lake is someone I have known for many years and I have enjoyed more than a few of her sweet treats. I had no idea 'The Cup Cake Princess' started her career working the financial markets though! A perfect guest for the pod. Hope you enjoy. xx

Today's guest has one heck of story! Paul MacNamara was originally a horticulturist before taking up teaching English in the prison system. Paul has also penned his first book The Criminal Class which is based on a true story of his time working as a teacher in jail. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Paul's career leap and when it came to the hard hitting questions I ask every guest I was impressed he loved cooking mince as much as I do! Enjoy.

The Criminal Class is out now.

Today's guest and I could literally have talked for 12 hours non-stop - my dear friend Kathryn Eisman who has one hell of a story!

I know I say this every episode but you are in for a treat! Bernadette (Ben) Barrett's story takes us from her early years as a chef, through to Music Mangement (including the likes of David Grey) and now an inspirational life coach. What's even better is that she tells her story with an Irish accent, she's not putting one on Ben is from Ireland, but now calls London home and just to confuse you will recorded our chat while she was in Portugal. So international this podcast! Enjoy. xx

If you haven't already got a crush of some sort on today's guest Ali Daddo, then I am tipping be the end of our chat you will. Gorgeous inside and out, funny and full of amazing stories. From gracing the covers of fashion magazines like Cleo, Dolly and Cosmopolitan to moving to the US with actor husband Cameron Daddo, to stepping away from the world of modeling to working in the pregnancy space through to a fulfilling childhood dream to teach. And now back in Australia with her family Ali can add author and podcast host to her incredible life journey.

Her first book, QUEEN MENOPAUSE – a friendly, frank, compassionate and comprehensive companion for any woman experiencing menopause – was published in 2022 by Allen & Unwin. She also Co-hosts with her husband of 30 years on their hit podcast “Separate Bathrooms”. Interviewing some of the most interesting couples in Australia, they take a look behind the closed doors of their relationships.

One of my favourite people and eps to share - enjoy. xx

Today on the pod I get to hear the fellow red-lip wearing Jen Bishops' fantastic story. From starting her career as a journalist for a local paper in the UK to creating The Interiors Addict - Australia's largest interior design, styling and renovation blog for the everyday Aussie (and anyone else around the world). Jen's story really is the epitome of turning a passion and side hustle into a successful business. A marvellous story and some interesting poster choices and hard hitting question answers!! Enjoy I loved chatted to Jen! xx

Today's episode is full of joy, inspiration and features a fabulous love story. I loved chatting to Sara Agah Franti and hearing her incredible story unfold. Speaker, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Change-Maker, Mother as Sara describes herself on her website. Her career path took her from a nurse, to an international keynote speaker, to creating the not for profit 'Do It For The Love' that she set up with musician husband Michael Franti and to Soulshine Bali's first resort rooted in barefoot luxury, the joy of wellness and rock & roll. Enjoy! xx

You'll enjoy this week's episode! I loved hearing Victoria McEvoy's career story wind from one role to the next. Victoria returned to Australia from NYC having worked with Ralph Lauren and Tory Burch, with a penchant for pinching her husband’s shirts. She realised she wanted her own - and with her lived experience and knowledge working with these top brands - launched Irving & Powell with a focus on utilitarian wardrobe essentials that look good too. Enjoy! And you can follow Victoria and Irving And Powell on their social media accounts and online. x

Today on the pod I chat to delightful Sarah Parry-Okeden. A mutual friend connected us explaining Sarah's story would be perfect for So, I Quit and she was spot on!

Always artistic, it is no surprise that Sarah ended up in the world of interiors. Starting out as a graphic designer, then inadvertently ending up in fashion, Sarah left Sydney for the US where she went on to further her creative passion, studying photography. It wasn’t until she began her own renovation that her true passion was unearthed... I will let her tell you her fabulous story. If you want to follow Sarah on social media or find out more about her business you can at @wildorchidspaces and www.wildorchidspaces.com Enjoy x
