Westsider Radio: Beyond The Surface

This episode is close to my heart. I sit down with Debbie Hadfield, my case manager growing up and the closest thing I've had to a mum. Nearly 20 years on, she's still in my corner. We talk about what has inspired her to stay in the industry for so long, and we touch on my childhood. This is the story behind why I do what I do, and why I'll always celebrate cool people doing kind things.

In this episode of Beyond the Surface, we sit down with Jason Hogan, founder of Footscray Friends and Dining, a community group bringing people together over shared meals in Melbourne's west.

Back by popular demand, Fay is back 🎙️

This time we go deeper into her upbringing, what it was like growing up ethnic in Australia and constantly trying to find where she fit in. Honestly, some of it hit close to home for me too. And even back then, you could see the rebellious streak in her, it was there from day one. We love a gentle rebel ❤️

Beyond the Surface host Muffy sits down with Fay Salem-Demezieres, Operations and Community Engagement Coordinator at West Welcome Wagon, a volunteer run organisation supporting over 450 refugee families in Melbourne's west. A conversation about kindness, resilience and the humans rebuilding their lives in our community.
