Lachlan Stuart knows what it feels like to chase the thing you think will finally make you feel enough.

For him, that pursuit took him from Toowoomba to France to play rugby, but what he discovered overseas was confronting: success was never going to quiet the negative voice in his head.

That work had to happen within.

In this episode, Lachlan opens up about losing his identity, rebuilding himself from rock bottom, becoming a man he could be proud of, and creating The Man That Can Project, a movement that has now reached men across the world.

This conversation also meets Lachlan in the chapter he is living right now, fatherhood and creating a legacy.

With his son Freddie growing fast, a book and documentary opening new doors, and ambition still calling, Lachlan is navigating a tension so many high-achievers know well:

How do you keep building without missing the life you are building it all for?

This is a conversation about identity, pressure, mental health, fatherhood, ambition, solitude, standards and fulfilment.

What it really means to become the person you once needed.

Nicki Price shares with us the strength, identity, motherhood, pressure, and what it really means to choose yourself in life.

In episode 35, Nicki, the founder of Priceless Media, a publicist and strategist who has built a powerful career helping others be seen. But behind the business, the media wins, and the public version of success is a woman who has carried a lot quietly.

In this episode, Nicki opens up about receiving an ADHD diagnosis, raising her children as a single mum, rebuilding after life shifted in ways she never chose, and learning that being “strong” is not always the compliment people think it is.

We talk about turning 40, breaking out of victim mode, letting go of outside validation, the fixer role, achievement, pressure, and creating a life that feels aligned, not just impressive from the outside.

This is a powerful conversation about choosing yourself when nobody gives you the roadmap, trusting what feels right in your body, and building a life on your own terms.

What happens when the story you spent years avoiding becomes the very thing that gives your life purpose?

In Episode 34 of The View From Here, I sit down with Angus Cunningham, author, speaker, cancer advocate, runner, and two-time childhood cancer survivor.

After surviving cancer twice before the age of twelve, Angus spent years trying to move forward, be “fine,” and separate himself from what he had been through. But through writing his memoir Twice Before Twelve, he began to reflect, process, and understand just how deeply those experiences shaped his perspective, gratitude, resilience, and purpose.

This conversation explores childhood adversity, identity, vulnerability, mateship, movement, speaking your truth, and the powerful shift that happens when you stop hiding from your story and start using it to connect with others.

Angus’ story is a reminder that the parts of us we are most afraid to share are often the parts that help someone else feel less alone.

What does it take to turn loneliness into belonging?

In this episode of The View From Here, Nikki sits down with Toni Dee, founder of SLAM Society, a women’s community created to help women connect, feel supported, and walk into spaces where they no longer have to feel alone.

Toni’s story is one of deep loss, migration, single motherhood, resilience, reinvention, and learning how to rebuild when life asks you to start again.

After moving to Cronulla and experiencing a familiar feeling of isolation, Toni chose to create what she once needed most: a village.

Today, SLAM Society brings thousands of women together through events, retreats, networking, travel, and real-life connection.

This conversation explores the quiet strength behind Toni’s journey, the power of community, and what can happen when the chapters that nearly broke you become the very thing that helps others heal.

In this episode of The View From Here, Nikki Van Blair shares a story of identity, resilience, representation and self-acceptance.

By day, Nikki works in advertising compliance. By night, she steps into the world of professional wrestling, using performance, presence and visibility to create space for others who may not have always seen themselves represented.

As a queer trans woman of colour living with BPD, Nikki speaks openly about what it has taken to move from seeing her diagnosis as a burden to understanding it as part of her sensitivity, awareness and strength.

This conversation explores the impact of emotional ambiguity in relationships, the journey back to self-worth, the pressure of carrying what others may never have to think about, and the power of trusting your instincts, boundaries and truth.

Nikki’s story is honest, brave and deeply human, a reminder that sometimes the parts of ourselves we once tried to hide can become the very things that create change for someone else.

What does success really mean if you lose your peace along the way?

In Episode 31 of The View From Here, I sit down with Tom Cronin, former bond and swap broker, international speaker, author, leadership trainer, and a powerful voice in the space of conscious leadership and wellbeing.

For more than two decades, Tom worked in the intensity of global financial markets, surrounded by pressure, speed, competition, and constant decision-making. From the outside, it looked like success, but behind the achievement was a deeper search for peace, meaning, and a different way of living.

In this conversation, we explore high performance, burnout, meditation, ancestral money patterns, purpose, leadership, and what it means to create impact without losing yourself in the process.

This is a conversation for anyone who has ever questioned whether the life they are building is also allowing them to feel truly fulfilled.

Some chapters of life break you open in ways you never expected and if you let them, they can also reshape the way you see everything.

In this episode of The View From Here, I sit down with Keane Marsh for a conversation about grief, burnout, identity, pressure, purpose, and the moments that force you to rebuild from the inside out.

Keane shares the experiences that have most shaped his life, losing his mum at 19, navigating deep personal loss, questioning his identity, surviving extreme burnout, walking away from what was no longer right, and learning how to stop abandoning himself in the process of trying to be everything for everyone else.

This is a conversation about what happens when life strips away the version of you that was built to survive… and invites you to become someone more honest, grounded, and free.

It’s raw, thoughtful, and full of perspective.

A powerful reminder that success means very little if it costs you yourself.

What happens when the dream you worked so hard for no longer feels like your own?

In Episode 29 of The View From Here, Nikki sits down with Australian actress, filmmaker, writer, director and former elite athlete Jane Larkin for a deeply honest conversation about identity, ambition, motherhood and the realities behind success.

Jane shares what it means to move from representing Australia on the track to creating award-winning work on screen, while navigating the loneliness of post-production, the invisible weight of motherhood and the frustration of watching women’s work, stories and sacrifices continue to be overlooked.

This episode explores what we choose to celebrate, why support can disappear when someone steps fully into their ambition, and the courage it takes to keep creating when the path has been anything but easy.

A powerful conversation about shifting perspectives, questioning inherited dreams, finding fuel in frustration and remembering that love may be the answer beneath it all.

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build no longer feels like the life you want to keep living?

In this episode of The View From Here, Kylie Harris reflects on the years that reshaped her relationship with pressure, achievement, rest, and fulfilment.

For a long time, slowing down felt dangerous. Rest carried the fear of losing everything, falling behind, or letting people down. But with hindsight came a different perspective: fulfilment is not found in constantly performing or proving your worth. It is found in the freedom to choose how you spend your days and the peace that comes from finally trusting yourself within them.

Kylie also explores the many different parts that make us who we are, and the power that comes from learning to understand and embrace every version of ourselves.

A powerful conversation about resilience, identity, perspective, and discovering what truly matters when the pressure to keep moving begins to fall away.

What is your relationship with money really telling you?

In this episode of The View From Here, Jan Morrison brings more than forty years of experience in finance into a conversation that goes far beyond budgets, numbers, and strategy.

Together, we explore the emotional side of money the beliefs we inherit, the stories we carry, the pressure to have it all figured out, and the quiet ways our self-worth can become tangled in our financial choices.

Jan shares her transition from corporate finance into financial therapy, what it took to trust her voice in a completely new chapter, and why helping women step into their financial power has become such meaningful work.

This is a conversation about money, identity, reinvention, self-trust, and the courage to ask: if not now, when?
