Today in the Confessional, host Sandy Lowres is chatting with fellow red-head and marketing guru, Therese Tarlinton!

Therese is passionate about marketing partnerships and is the author of SWAP! Marketing
without Money. She created a start up that grew to a business in five countries
manufacturing for Jeep, Sesame Street and United Colors of Benetton using this strategy.
After selling her company, she now works with the big brands creating campaigns that
collaborate with other businesses, with a focus on delighting their mutual customers. She
has helped charities raise funds, a SAAS get seed funding, been an ambassador for LG
Electronics and now works with CSR creating partnerships with interior designers, tradies
and even The Block.

Having walked in the shoes of a small business owner, Therese knows how it feels to do marketing and feeling like you’re wasting your time and your money on ads that don’t work. Plus the isolation and pressure of making all the decisions.

Having a different marketing view by partnering with other brands is a way to increase your visibility to your ideal audience, enhance your credibility in their eyes and within the industry, and get a return on your investment landing you a profit in your business. With the added bonus of working with other business owners with new ideas and energy.
Reaching out to the right brands, collaborating with them, over delivering on their expectations are all achievable. Most small businesses think that unless they have a huge social following they aren’t partnership potential, but that’s not true. Your brand has loads of ways to contribute and you can learn how. It’s a simple R.E.C.I.P.E.

TW: Childhood abuse, Alcohol Recovery

After enduring an abusive childhood, Jewels decided to use her earlier trauma to enter recovery, sexually liberate herself, and enter the competitive world of bodybuilding.

Today in the Confessional, Sandy chats with Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills, also known as Those Two Girls.

After they met in their mid-30s, Lise and Sarah became a duo with a difference and blasted onto the Australian media scene in 2017. Their genuine friendship led to a national radio show, sell-out events, interviewing well known guests and eventually the launch of FORTY: the podcast equivalent of a little black book for the middle years.

Lise and Sarah have just launching their new book - Forty Favours the Brave.

Before joining forces, Lise and Sarah’s collective backgrounds included PR, communications, copywriting, modelling, and theatre.

Their book explores the questions - How can I be nearing middle age when twenty-six feels like yesterday? After the craziness of my twenties and hard work of my thirties, what’s next? Who am I now that youth is behind me?

These were the questions Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills asked themselves as they entered a milestone decade – their forties. The second phase of life can seem daunting for some. But as we all know, it's much more than declining collagen, hormonal upheavals, and a supposed descent into invisibility. There is power in knowing who you are, ditching ‘nice’ for what’s important, and arriving at the stage in your life when you decide rather than ‘slide’.

In Forty Favours the Brave, Lise and Sarah, along with women from all walks of life, share insightful tales about entering their forties and beyond: the lessons learned, heartbreaks survived, things they wish they’d known, relationship changes, confidence gained … and the surprising, wondrous joy of life in its second act.

She now supports individuals and employees to streamline their life admin so they can win back more free time and mental space, save money, and nurture household harmony.

She's a coparent of two primary school-aged kids, who values living authentically and inspiring others to do so too.
