"Beauty is so much more than make-up", says Erika Geraerts, Founder of Australian brand Fluff Casual Cosmetics, and my guest and fellow biz buddy on this episode. With this sentiment in mind and for the second time in a decade (she also co-founded the hugely successful beauty brand, Frank Body), Erika has truly disrupted an industry that has previously mostly told us that we need to wear stacks of make-up or follow a rigorous, multi-product, multi-step beauty routine in order to look or feel good about ourselves. But the needle is shifting, dialogues around the relationship between beauty and self-love are evolving and norms are changing (for the better) - Erika and Fluff are no doubt big drivers of this.In this ep, Eri and I talk about:how our relationship with beauty/cosmetics and self-love/self-care is changing (particularly during a time when we're all barely going out, mostly interacting through screens and wearing face-masks!)the challenges associated with being a young female founderthe pressures vs. the realities of 'the start-up dream'the huge shift in starting in business and launching a brand in 2013 vs. 2020how she's using her time in lockdown to write and plan for post iso life!... amongst a HEAP of other things. Pop a mask on, put your headphones in, go for a socially-distanced walk and take in the wisdom that is this incredible business (and beauty) brain.Erika's song choice for the Girl's Got Moxie S2 guest playlist on Spotify is "The Last Best Place" by John Hayes.Head to 'Overflow' @OfficialMoxieTV on YouTube for a BTS glimpse of this ep.Learn more about/follow Fluff Casual Cosmetics and Erika at:@itsall.fluff and @erikageraertshttps://www.itsallfluff.com/Head to https://medium.com/@erikaisfluff/16-is-everything-for-nothing-11ef195f67bb for a recently written piece written by Erika about life during Covid-19, that we also talk about in this ep.This podcast is proudly brought to you by www.moxie.com.au-------------------------------------------------I'd love to stay in touch and share more good thangs with you...

If you have a vagina and are over 25yrs, you may have experienced a pap smear (now known as a cervical screening in Australia). If you're not yet 25, haven't had a pap smear yet or have been avoiding them, this ep is here as your (our!) friendly reminder that we all need to be getting checked! It's often said that the best ideas come from personal pain points and Katie Norbury's 'Get Papped' initiative is a perfect example of that, after her experience with an abnormal pap smear. In this ep, we talk about:Cervical screenings (pap smears) - why they're important, what they involve and what they test forSymptoms to look out for when something's NQR with your intimate healthWhen to get a cervical screening test and how oftenHow Katie used her personal experience with an abnormal pap smear to help open up an often uncomfortable conversation and encourage other people to get checked, tooPeriod poverty and how we can all use simple everyday choices to better support Aussie people with periods (Katie is also the head of Marketing and Communications for the 'Share the Dignity' charity).A li’l reminder that this ep was recorded in iso via Zoom - the sound isn't studio quality (although it gets pretty good after the first few mins) but please bear with us!Katie's song choice for the Girl's Got Moxie S2 guest playlist on Spotify is "Homemade Dynamite" by Lorde.Head to 'Overflow' @OfficialMoxieTV on YouTube for a BTS glimpse of this ep.Learn more about Get Papped, Period Poverty in Australia and Share the Dignity at:@get.pappedhttps://get-papped.com/ (buy your cards here and send them to all your pals!)Get Papped practitioner directory (currently Brisbane, Aus only, but please DM Katie with your recos for other states) https://get-papped.com/pages/brisbane-practitioner-directory@sharethedignityaustraliahttps://sharethedignity.com.au/This podcast is proudly brought to you by www.moxie.com.au-------------------------------------------------I'd love to stay in touch and share more good thangs with you...

“The people who do find it shameful have FOR SURE experienced the work of sex workers – they’ve been to a strip club, or they’ve watched porn – so why is the person themselves, when you meet them, not good enough?”These words, by this episode’s guest, Lulu Reynolds, is a huge reason why I wanted to host an episode about sex work. It is an industry shrouded in stigmas, judgement, a level of secrecy and misunderstanding and so in true form of this podcast – a safe space where we can talk about the sometimes uncomfortable – I wanted to delve into all the things people want to know, but are often too embarrassed to ask, with an aim of breaking down some of these stereotyped stigmas that surround the sex industry and the people within it.Earlier this year, I put a call out on the Girl’s Got Moxie Community Group on Facebook, and asked YOU, our Moxettes, what you were most curious about when it came to sex work. Here are some of your questions, as answered by Lulu…What did you parents say when they found out what you do?Is what you do legal?Do you enjoy it?Is it safe? How do you keep yourself safe?Do you use your real name?How do you manage relationships outside of your work?How do you manage your period?!What’s the most common thing clients ask or come to you for?Can you see yourself doing this long-term?PLZ NOTE: This episode is not intended as a definitive guide – it’s just one person’s experience, but one that is so openly and generously shared. We talk about sex work, intimacy and companionship, anxiety, isolation and we also every so slightly touch on sex trafficking, so please note that this episode may be triggering for some people who have had negative experiences with any of these things. It is also definitely NSFW, so pop your headphones in...!A li’l reminder that you might hear the occasional plane, bike, bird, etc in the background – these eps are usually recorded in the comfort of my home, my guest's home/workplace, and so they are not highly edited!Lulu's song choice for the Girl's Got Moxie S2 guest playlist on Spotify is "I put a spell on you" by Nina Simone.Head to 'Overflow' @OfficialMoxieTV on YouTube for a BTS glimpse of this ep.Learn more about Lulu Reynolds at:Instagram: @thetitfairywww.titfairy.carrd.cowww.titfairy.rocks (Lulu's new merch side hustle!)This podcast is proudly brought to you by www.moxie.com.au-------------------------------------------------I'd love to stay in touch and share more good thangs with you...

In Ella's words, she's "An Aussie mum, wife, writer, Advertising boss lady and now (unfortunately), one of 'those cancer people' ". This is not just 'another cancer story' and it's definitely not a 'journey' - "it's an absolute sh*t-show", as she puts it.At just 36, Ella Ward was diagnosed with - wait for it - anal cancer. Who even knew this was a thing? Especially in an otherwise healthy 36 year old woman?!A self-confessed over-sharer, Ella decided early on in her diagnosis that she was going to document her sh*t-show and share it publicly on social media - and often, hilariously so (it feels a bit wrong saying that about something like this but it's not an understatement! You'll see/hear!).We talk about fear, the importance of therapy as preventative self-care, IVF, early onset menopause, Jude Law (who is Ella's titanium Hollywood leave pass, if anyone listening can hook a gal up?) and of course, the dreaded big (anal) "C".PLEASE bear with us on the sound in this ep. Given that we recorded during Covid-19/isolation, we opted for an appropriately distanced Zoom call instead of a face-to-face mic recording. So, we're relying on computer mics here that are certainly not studio quality - though let's be real, my eps never are! They're intended to be a li'l raw and not overly produced and are just like casual convos between pals - because really, that's exactly what is going on here. Join our convo and do yourself a solid and go find/follow Ella on IG. It's worth it for all the LOLz @_msellabellaElla's song choice for the Girl's Got Moxie S2 guest playlist on Spotify is "This Feeling" by Alabama Shakes.Head to 'Overflow' @OfficialMoxieTV on YouTube for a BTS glimpse of this ep.Learn more about Ella Ward at www.ellaward.com.auThis podcast is proudly brought to you by www.moxie.com.au-------------------------------------------------I'd love to stay in touch and share more good thangs with you...

I.LOVE.THIS.EPISODE.I met Life Coach Michaela Rosandich last year at an event about period poverty and period shame that I was speaking at, and we just kinda hit it off: "Michaela, will you be on my podcast and talk about that thing you said earlier about period shame being a societal construct created by the patricarchy?" "Sure! When does it start?" And here we are.Michaela started her career in corporate marketing but had her "a-ha!" moment in 2016, which is when she became a life coach and started her business 'Empress, Crow and Rabbit', supporting high achieving women (us, duh!) to better understand, explore and harness the 'super-powers' we have throughout our menstrual cycles - by understanding the different and changing energies throughout our cycles, and by tracking these, we can change our work-flows to suit; in turn helping life in general flow more smoothly.We talk:How Michala made the career leap from Corporate Marketing to Life CoachMenstrual Super-powers and how to get the best out of each phase of your periodThe different phases of your period, the moon, and how the two are connectedPeriod shameThe history of matrimony, matriarchy and patriarchyMichaela's song choice for the Girl's Got Moxie S2 guest playlist on Spotify is "Hey Mickey" by Toni Basil.Head to 'Overflow' @OfficialMoxieTV on YouTube for a BTS glimpse of this ep.This podcast is proudly brought to you by www.moxie.com.au-------------------------------------------------RESOURCE LINKS FROM TODAY'S EPISODE:Learn more about Michaela's work and how to harness your Menstrual Superpowers at: https://www.empresscrowandrabbit.com/Download your FREE 'Empress, Crow and Rabbit' 2020 Cycles calendar here: https://www.empresscrowandrabbit.com/cycles-calendar-with-12-superpowers/Read about Michaela's 'Period Emergency Plan' here (get the tissues ready!): https://www.empresscrowandrabbit.com/period-emergency-plan/Find @empresscrowandrabbit on Insta-------------------------------------------------I'd love to stay in touch and share more good thangs with you...

When someone tells you that their mantra is “we should all wake up dancing”, you know that they’re a good sort of human. Moxettes, meet ultra-good human, Naturopath and Founder of Edible Beauty Australia – Anna Mitsios.Anna was 18 when she was diagnosed with diabetes and it was this diagnosis that ultimately spawned her to leave a career in banking and pursue naturopathy. In clinical practice, she was often blending natural skincare and ingestible remedies for her clients, many with PCOS and endometriosis, to help them better manage their symptoms and soon after, she had the idea for Edible Beauty - a range of beauty and ingestible products that are, in Anna’s words, “safe enough to eat”.Get ready to take notes, peeps, because this episode is packed with a heap of easy natural remedies and watch-outs for helping achieve balance, both in life (y’all are going to want to do Anna’s ‘wheel’ exercise) and also in our bodies – starting with what we put in our stomachs. We talk PCOS, how to reduce excess estrogen in our bodies, what causes hormonal breakouts and how to make realistic and sustainable changes in our lives that can help improve our overall health.This episode was recorded late last year in Anna's office/warehouse in Sydney - you might hear faint background noises, phones ringing and a baby's cries occasionally - because these eps are intended to be authentic, raw, honest, and as such they are not highly (if at all!) edited.Head over to OVER-FLOW on YouTube (by @OfficialMoxieTV) for a BTS glimpse of this podcast episode where Anna and I talk about what it means to have 'Moxie'!Anna's song request for the Girl's Got Moxie S2 playlist is 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams.This podcast is proudly brought to you by www.moxie.com.au-------------------------------------------------RESOURCE LINKS FROM TODAY'S EPISODE:Learn more about and find Edible Beauty Australia's products at https://ediblebeautyaustralia.com/Follow Edible Beauty Australia on Instagram @ediblebeautyau---------------------------------------------------I'd love to stay in touch and share more good thangs with you...

A couple of years ago, I met and got chatting to a woman randomly at a Melbourne nail salon... I was convinced she was a ballerina; she was tall and graceful and had perfect posture. Turns out, she wasn't a ballerina, but she DID work for the Australian Ballet... They say that everything happens for a reason and apart from since becoming practically inseparable from said tall/leggy/graceful (also whip-smart, beautiful, intelligent and incredibly kind) friend, this episode is one of the wonderful domino affects of meeting good people (at nail salons). I was introduced to Sophia Bender in mid-2019 via our mutual friend - I had heard that Sophia was working on a film about endometriosis and I was really intrigued to learn more. When Sophia and I met and I first heard her story, I was immediately FLOORED and asked "will you be on my podcast?" This was a podcast that at the time, didn't even exist. Sophia is one of the major reasons I started Girl's Got Moxie: to tell the stories that need to be amplified!This was actually my first ever recorded episode of the poddy, but we decided to hold it a while to coincide with Endometriosis Awareness Month (March) for which Sophia is now a proud Champion.From ballerina, to endo-warrior, to 'Endo Girl' film-maker; here is Sophia's story.(I'd like to dedicate this episode to ALL the endo-warriors out there: the 1 in 10 women who are or will be diagnosed. We need to keep striving for better awareness, detection, support and treatment. And of course, to leggy friend, Kate, for being an all 'round freaking legend and mega champ of other women's successes).Head over to OVER-FLOW on YouTube (by @OfficialMoxieTV) for a BTS glimpse of this podcast episode where Sophia and I talk about what it means to have 'Moxie'!Sophia's song request for the Girl's Got Moxie S2 playlist is 'Midnight City', by M83.This podcast is proudly brought to you by www.moxie.com.au -------------------------------------------------RESOURCE LINKS FROM TODAY'S EPISODE:Learn more about Sophia's films and watch the Endo Girl trailer at: https://www.sophiabenderfilms.com/endogirlFollow on Insta: @endogirl_shortfilm and @sophiabender_Learn more about Endometriosis: https://www.endometriosisaustralia.org/-----------------------------------------------------------------------I'd love to stay in touch and share more good thangs with you...

Emma Rutherford-Ward and I bonded over bamboo undies, tampons, free-bleeding and cheese - quite the combo, and it's not everyday you can say that! I knew immediately that this would make for a fun episode and I wasn't wrong... here's a gal who is doing some seriously cool sh*t and I'm stoked she was prepared to share it on Girl’s Got Moxie!

Clotting blood during your period is considered 'normal'. Brown-ish blood is also 'normal'. Who knew?! Obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Kelly Griffin, that’s who! Irrespective of how many periods you’ve experienced, there are some fab teachable moments in this ep (like why we get period pain and exactly what’s going on down there when it happens). I asked qns like "what's considered a normal period", "what does a 'normal' vagina look like?" and "how should we be cleaning our vaginas?" and Dr. Griffin had answers for all of it. In this jam-packed episode about menstrual and sexual health, we cover all of the above, plus the importance of getting “checked”, the rise of STIs and how Aussie cervical screening guidelines have changed… Know your body, know your cycle and what to look out for!Learn more about Dr. Kelly Griffin here: https://www.thebays.com.au/doctors-and-health-professionals/our-specialists/dr-kelly-griffin/This podcast is proudly brought to you by www.moxie.com.au----------------------------Resource links from today’s episode:To learn more about Cervical Cancer Screening (Australia) head to: http://www.cancerscreening.gov.au/internet/screening/publishing.nsf/Content/cervical-screening-1To learn more about the Cervical Cancer Screening self-test (Australia) head to: http://www.cancerscreening.gov.au/internet/screening/publishing.nsf/Content/self-collection-and-the-cervical-screening-testIf you have any questions about your sexual health and are not quite sure where to start, you may consider reaching out to the Sexual Health Hotline (Australia).

“There’s one role you really get in your life and that’s playing yourself” - wise words from our guest this week, 23-year-old Melbourne-based content creator and LGBTQI+ advocate AJ Clementine, who shares her struggles with growing up with (and navigating!) what was only more recently medically diagnosed as gender dysphoria, and it’s treatment - which for AJ, came in the form of sexual reassignment surgery only 12 months ago. Her story has made national news headlines and despite facing trolls along the way, she continues to educate, inspire and advocate for better education and acceptance of trans people in greater society by so openly and generously sharing her experiences. We talk transitioning, why being transgender is not a choice and what femininity means in today’s world.This podcast is proudly brought to you by www.moxie.com.auGet a BTS glimpse of this ep with AJ Clementine on 'OVER-FLOW', our Mox-pop segments on our YouTube channel.----------------------------Resource links from today’s episode:If you need support or want to talk about sex, sexuality, gender or have any trans-related questions, head to www.reachout.com for LGBTQIA+ support services.To learn more about the queer formal (Australia) head to www.minus18.org.auYou can follow AJ's journey on You Tube and on Instagram @ajclementine_AJ's song choice for the “Girl’s Got Moxie guest playlist” on Spotify is:“Enjoy your life" by Marina.----------------------------I’d love to stay in touch and share more good thangs with you...
