The Women of Influence Podcast with Kate Meade

This is Naomi.

Chasing peace & living freely.

Her story is of Motherhood & grief. 

Henry will be forever 7 but will live on for those that loved and knew him.

For the first time Naomi shares HER story. 

Warning: This episode talks about cancer and the loss of a child. This story is still raw to Noami and we handle her with care and love. We ask that you do to. 

 

From Kate to you. 

We don't edit our episodes. No production in this series. Just record and load. 

It's raw and real and you are invited to sit at out table to listen and join.

I would love to hear from you after you have listened. Tell me what you think.

Welcome back.

The project that started in 2021 and didn't get finished.

But it's 2026 and with your help we can get this done. 

My name is Kate Meade and this is the Women of Influence Podcast. 

This isn't a perfect podcast with high end production values (I'm so radio friends).

This is the raw recordings of two people sitting and sharing a story. 

Thank-you ARN & iHeart Radio for continuing your platform support and to you the listener (THE WOIS, said like Why's) thankyou for sticking with me over the years.

Welcome to the Women of Influence Podcast and it is with great pleasure I introduce you to my friend Danielle (or Danza to her friends). 

Actually she has already been featured on the Women of Influence so this is really a re-introduction!

Everyone needs a friend like Danza in their life. And if you don't, well I'm going to share her with you every Thursday. 

In this episode we get straight into it! 

The Blunt Text

Gifts from your ex. 

Collingwood

Netball.... and then I accidentally zone out a bit!

We are in desperate need of a fact checker! 

This episode was recorded in Danza's caravan which doubles as her hair dressing salon. You can check it out at on instagram @paristhecaravanbar or @parishairandbeauty_by_daneel

We will also continue to feature incredible women but..... just once a week you get just Kate & Danza living our best lives! Talking crap, solving the problems of the world, laughing and crying. 

Enjoy.

Luv Kate
