I always find it fascinating listening to the back story of someone's successful career journey. Have you ever wondered how successful people navigate the tough career decisions, how they orchestrate career transitions that seem insurmountable to others? Or how they emerge as respected leaders, despite very challenging business landscapes.

Well you're in for a treat today, because I have the pleasure of sitting down with Emma Hogan, a true trailblazer in both corporate and government realms. From her senior roles at Foxtel to leading the Department of Customer Service, Emma has achieved a career that most people would say would be close to impossible. But as you’ll hear, her career success has not evolved by chance.

How often do you catch yourself feeling a bit guilty about indulging in that extra serving or not shedding those last stubborn kilos you've been eyeing? Maybe it was the temptation of the leftover muffin from the team morning tea that threw you off your game. Well, we've all been there, haven't we?

That desire to be at our peak health, performing at our best and looking and feeling good. I think it's universal. But let's face it, the path to good intentions and great practices is often paved with many challenges. And today I'm thrilled to bring someone onto the podcast who gets all of this. It is my friend and nutrition consultant, educator, author, and founder of The Right Balance, Kath Alleaume.

In the podcast, Kath refers to a couple of credible websites for further information.
