Chloe Quayle is a proud Malyangapa, Barkindji woman, a talented artist and rapper and a respected member in her community. But 3 years ago things were wildly different. Chloe had been in and out of the system since she was 14 but this time Chloe turned herself in. She was pregnant and she was going to give birth in prison. This is a brutal story of a mother's love, the day that changed it all and how she is now thriving by overcoming the hardest moments of her life.

Ginger Gorman is a journalist and author. After being horrifically trolled she decided to look into who, what and where are these trolls?

Ice, Crank, Tina- Whatever you want to call it "Crystal Meth" is one of the most addictive and life destroying substances.

I have always been fascinated with sex workers. I just hadn't been exposed to many like Indie. Indie isn't your stereotype. She is natural, freckled, curvy with no shame in showing her body hair, self harm scars, cellulite and stretch marks.
She is in the industry as a business woman. Indie takes her work seriously and even further, she really wants to impact her clients for the better- she meets them without judgement and holds space for them to explore whatever tickles their fancy.Indie is wise, open and will challenge the way you see the sex industry.
Please note her name has been changed for privacy reasons.

Sandra is like a cat that has nine lives. There are so many chapters of this story we had to share it over two episodes.
Sandra grew up as Peter and through his life he was many things: He became a father, a husband, a woman, a drag artist, a prostitute, a drug addict, a law abiding citizen, a married woman, one of Melbourne's high society, a business owner, a widow and a trauma cleaner.
As you can imagine this is a hell of a ride. It is a story that has a lot of explicit and adult content.
It is almost unbelievable that one person can fit so much into one lifetime but she did and it's fascinating.
Content warning: this episode deals with prostitution, drugs and abuse. If you are suffering or are triggered by the themes of this podcast, help services are available.

What would you do if you found out your life partner was doing meth, what if the lies didn't stop? What if after all that trauma and becoming a solo parent you get a terminal cancer diagnosis? No family around to help. No options. What would you do?
Kate is heroic, some may even say a little mad, because Kate thinks she can beat this death sentence and she even put a timeline on it. 365 days. Is this possible?What does it entail?
This is a conversation that covers trauma, how to deal with betrayal, fighting disease and the power of a mothers love.
