✨ HER STORY - MELISSA DECARLI ✨

Julz sat down with Melissa to hear some of her story. Melissa is a creative, a photographer, business owner, psychedelic trance music lover, wife, mum and so much more. She talks about her struggles with mental health, an eating disorder, a marriage breakdown and moving cities all before she turned 30. Now remarried and a mum to a gorgeous (almost) 2 year old, Melissa realised that she needed to do the work on herself and choose to love herself, above anything else. 

In today's episode we discuss:
👉 Melissa's struggles with disordered eating and body image
👉 Struggling to fit in, friendships and relationships
👉 The healing process of pregnancy
👉 Loving yourself before being loved by anyone else

If you or someone you know are struggling from disordered eating or body image, please speak to someone. The Butterfly Foundation may be able to help.

We thank Melissa Decarli (Brennan) for being so open and vulnerable when sharing some of her story with us. You can find Melissa on Instagram @hergoldenpoint or on her website www.hergoldenpoint.com


If you have a story that you'd like to share with us, please send us a DM on instagram or email us.

In today's episode:
👉 What are the different types of burnout and how can we identify parental burnout before it's too late
👉 The SOS Model to prevent parental burnout
👉 The importance of building a social network in an individualistic society

Tough, awkward, challenging conversations. Yuk. We tend to avoid them like the plague. There's a reason for that. But there's more reasons NOT to avoid them - but to tackle them head on instead.

Whether you're leading a team, or just want some tips on how to set boundaries and have challenging conversations with your loved ones, this is a must listen. 

In the episode today:
👉 What are tough conversations, and why do we avoid them?
👉 What happens when we avoid tough (or honest) conversations
👉 How to have honest conversations in the workplace and with your loved ones
👉 Em + Julz share an honest conversation they recently had and get to the bottom of it on air. 

We want to hear from you! Send us a tough or honest conversation you've recently had. How did it go? How do you feel now it's off your chest?

We asked, and you said you want more stories from our guests, so - while Em is off galavanting in Antarctica (as you do) we are bringing back one of our fav's...

This is part #2 of our interview with Justine Missen from DreamCave Photography and Film. She has now shot over 100 weddings, is booked out for weddings a year in advance and is one of the most highly sought-out wedding photographers (for non-boring couples) in the area - so it's CRAZY to think just a few short years ago, she was working as a woolclasser in a shearing shed when she picked up a camera to take some snaps of her baby girl. 

In this week's episode, we talk business + mindset:

👉 What it was really like in those early days
👉 Going from Shearing Shed to Wedding Photographer
👉 How Justine balances being a partner, mum of young kids + business owner
👉 The importance of investing in yourself, and backing yourself

We hope you love hearing Justine's story. If you have an epic story that you think we should hear, get in touch with us! 

Byyyyeeeeeeeeee
