Jess Boyce is a skin therapist and sees it as her calling to make people feel beautiful, which I think is just so sweet.

Jess is a Kiwi gal who moved to Sydney, Australia just last year, only six months before the pandemic hit (imagine that?!). She talks about stepping out of her comfort zone by staying put and fulfilling the call of God on her life here in Sydney. 

We also chat about the beauty industry and how society's view on what is recognised as 'beauty' is slowly shifting toward celebrating all types of beauty.

Jess opens up about her personal insecurities she's battled with and how she has used that as a part of her story to empower other women to feel beautiful, both on social media and off.

This episode is dedicated to all the people who have been victims of racism and discrimination.

I chat with Ashley, Renee and Ruth about their experiences with racism as women who represent the black community. 

Ashley grew up in New Jersey, USA with a Jamaican dad and Chilean mum. She opens up about her perspective on the Black Lives Matter movement and her experience with racism.

Renee is an Aboriginal woman who talks about the misconceptions that people may have about the Indigenous community and how Indigenous Australian beliefs and values amazingly mirror those belonging to Christian beliefs and values.

Ruth grew up in Perth, WA, as a Nigerian woman. She talks about her experience with racism in high school. Ruth also talks about the fearful thoughts a black person may have when out in public.

This episode is longer than usual, but I encourage you to listen to the entirety of it, even if in parts. The hype of Black Lives Matter has died down, but the truth will forever remain constant -

BLACK LIVES MATTER EVERY DAY.

Imagine fleeing your country from persecution, and being sailed across the oceans to Christmas Island only to be confined to a small room for three months?

In this episode I get to chat with Farideh, who fled Iran with her husband and five year old daughter after her husband accepted Christ into his life. 

They sailed to Christmas Island where they were held in a detention centre for three months and from there, went to Adelaide AUS to another detention centre for an additional three months. Farideh talks about the struggles she faced, like depression during these months.

When they finally moved to Sydney, Farideh's husband took her to church, where she eventually made Christ her Saviour.

Farideh also talks about the miracle of her second born daughter, Melody.

Many would know Darlene Zschech as a worship leader and songwriter. But she's also a wife, mama to three and grandmother to five. Darlene shares about how she learnt to cultivate a deep intimacy with Christ both on and off the platform throughout the years. She opens up about her battle with breast cancer and how it has given her greater empathy for others who have walked a similar journey. We talk about her family life and ministry, and Darlene encourages mothers to be present and not wish away the early years of parenting. And she challenges us women to make Christ the first priority in our every day comings and goings, and as she likes to put it, "everything else can wait."
