Today we are chatting with a very special guest, Sam Ikin. Sam is a body positivity advocate, journalist, the head of Ikin Media, as well as the host of the butterfly foundations podcast “Butterfly: Let’s Talk”.

We believe all bodies are good bodies, regardless of their size, shape, or appearance. But we also know that it's not always easy to embrace our bodies, especially in a society that constantly tells us that we're not good enough… So today we are talking about body image, mental health and talking about radical acceptance.

Things discussed in this episode:

-What is radical self-acceptance?

-Unpacking our own personal experiences with body image.

-Comparison on Social media

-Eating disorders (Trigger warning).

We recognise this episode may not be for everyone as it touches on some triggering topics. You can reach out to beyond blue or the Butterfly Foundation on their 24/7 hotlines.

Our latest episode features the incredibly cool and and insanely talented Medhanit.

Medhanit has been named one of Triple J’s artists to watch this year and if you’ve been listening to her recent singles you’ll know why!

During this conversation we talk about Medhanit’s music career and the awesome things she has experienced so far (like releasing music and working with artists like Holy Holy and PNAU). Medhanit talks about her creative process, what music means to her, and touches on her experience with anxiety and how she’s learned to back herself as an artist.

We LOVED recording this episode and although we’re not superstars, the things Medhanit discusses are super relatable! We hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed making it!

This week we introduce a new segment called Hot-Take where we spill our feelings into the microphones about whatever topic is on our mind this week. Usually this will be a short segment at the end of an episode but for today we thought we’d share the opinions nobody asked for for an entire episode!! We also answered a couple of questions/comments that some of our listeners wrote into the pod including feeling burnt out while studying and working full time. We hope you enjoy this episode, thanks so much for listening!

This week the chicks sit down with the wonderful and multitalented Hugo Bladel. Hugo is a talented musician, songwriter, DJ, and a certified circus performer — amongst many other things! In this episode we discuss how Hugo went from playing soccer in London to performing on stage at the Australian Open alongside names like Amy Shark, Flight Facilities, and the Presets (just to name a few).

Hugo discusses how he got to where he is today as a successful musician and DJ and what he is doing next to reach his dreams and goals. This is an inspirational chat that touches on Hugo’s life lessons so far and isn’t just for those who are interested in becoming musicians. Hugo is really going places and we loved having this chat. Enjoy!

This week the chicks chat to dynamic duo Baby Dave, aka Theo and Joe.

Baby Dave have performed at Tasmanian music festivals including Falls Festival and Great Escape… and now they’re on our podcast! You probably wouldn’t expect two blokes to make such a big sound but these guys are absolute rockstars.

We speak with the guys about song writing, the thrill of performing, how they got into music, and also get into some light hearted chats.

We know the biggest question on everyone’s minds is “Why did they choose the name Baby Dave?” And don’t you worry, we find that out too!

Welcome back to season 2 of Two Tassie Chicks. Our first episode back features the incredible Alana Mann.

Alana discusses the important topic of food security, sustainability and how it is affecting us and the climate we live in. If you think this doesn’t concern you we promise it does. We are surrounded by food and diet choices every day; from the supermarket to the social media content we consume, this chat really made us see how there is so much more to think about when it comes to choosing what foods to eat and how not everyone is afforded the luxury of choice.

We hope you get as much out of this episode as we did.
