Seize the Yay

The 100th episode!!!


Listen Later

Thank you all so much for your wonderful, thought-provoking and well-considered questions, I had so much fun reflecting on them (and not so much fun listening back to my answers - even after all this time I hate listening to my own voice unless it's bantering with a guest). I can't properly express how grateful I am to everyone who has ever joined, listened or been part of the podcast in anyway - Seize the Yay brings so much depth and joy to my life and opens my mind in new ways each week to create it for you.


I covered as many questions as I could in this one and, as I mention in the intro, I genuinely can't tell anymore if my answers makes sense, are useful or if it's all just nonsense but hopefully I've addressed at least some of your curiosity. I definitely missed some things, could have said some things better, and wanted to re-record as soon as I listened back, but I'm learning to take my own advice that "done is better than perfect", that self-doubt will always make you overly self-critical and that the essence of seizing the yay is sharing my real spontaneous answers, not the curated ones.


The questions I answered in order are:


The podcast


  1. Which have been your 3 most eye-opening interviews?
  2. Which interviewee surprised you the most? Why?
  3. What are the three biggest challenges you have faced since starting your podcast?
  4. Have you had any interviews that never went to air?!
  5. Any awkward interviews where it was hard to get the conversation flowing?
  6. How do you speak so eloquently on your podcast episodes? You practically never say "um" or "uh". What's your secret?
  7. What do you think you have learnt about YOURSELF since starting this podcast?
  8. Who would be your dream person to interview?
  9. How do you choose who you interview for your podcast? What’s the process
  10. How did you get into what you do and what’s the advice you’d give to others getting into the podcasting space?
  11. How do you find your topic, tone of voice, first guests?

  12. The book


    1. Can you give us a little sneak peak snippet of your book?
    2. Can you tell us a bit more background about the story behind it etc?
    3. What are the chapter headings?

    4. Personal life


      1. Top 3 achievements so far?
      2. Who’s your biggest inspiration?
      3. What did you wish you knew in high school or uni?
      4. How do you do it all? Do you have a virtual assistant or manager?
      5. Recommendations for coping with chronic fatigue or similar
      6. Are you medicated for anxiety?
      7. What's one piece of advice that has always stuck with you throughout your life?
      8. How did you know Nic was the one and what was your history of relationships prior?
      9. Have you been back to the town where you were born?
      10. Would you consider adopting a child, considering how blessed you feel you were to be adopted?
      11. What would be your last meal before you die!?
      12. Do you drink Matcha everyday?
      13. What is your absolute guilty pleasure to treat yourself?
      14. Favourite foods and cheat meal?

      15. On 2020

        1. As you reflect on the volatility of 2020, what have you learnt about yourself? Maybe, have you noticed your values changing?
        2. How’s your mum coping with lockdown?
        3. What motivates you to keep going day to day?
        4. How do you get yourself out of a deep funk?
        5. How do you stay positive in iso?
        6. If you were single how would you have copied?
        7. What’s next?


          1. Will you be starting a Youtube channel?
          2. Do you plan on increasing the podcast production for other companies?
          3. Do you plan on growing MM? Or happy where it's at?
          4. What does the next year hold for you?

          5. I had to skip a few so tried to group them all by themes. Can't wait for hundreds more to come. Lots of love to you all x
