Journalist, writer, blogger, TV producer and mum Elizabeth Anile sits down with a bunch of incredible people who've turned the hardest times in their life, their lemons, into lemonade. Join her as she investigates how they did it, the lessons they've learnt, and what life is like sipping limoncell…
Welcome to A Lemon A Day! A miniseries to heal yourself and change your life.Every Thursday, I'll share an interview with an incredible practitioner from a life-changing healing modality. I'm often asked what I've done to heal myself over the years – so I thought, why not bring the very people who've changed my life to you!?This week I am chatting with Pettina Stanghon – a therapist specialising in couples and family therapy and addiction.I am really excited to bring you my chat with Pettina for many reasons, but mostly because – and I know I've said this a few times – she honestly changed my life when I was at a very, very low point a few years ago.I truly believe talk therapy is essential for everyone but even more so if you're going through a tough time.Pettina is a solution-focused, integrative therapist who helps her client focus on the BIG picture, not just short term relief, but the ultimate goal of long-term recovery to live your best life.We chat:Working in addiction, family and couple counselling.Why she takes an "integrative" approach.Doing 'the work' if you want to see a change in your life.Victimhood, self-awareness, people pleasing.Leaning in and having challenging conversations.Working out whether your past is impacting your future.Interrupting the stories we tell ourselves.Connect with Pettina:www.pettinastanghon.com.auAs always, you can connect with me here.Did you know Lemonade has its own Instagram!?

She's a fellow single mum and has dealt with her fair share of lemons throughout her life, but she's turned those adversities into an opportunity to not only grow and evolve, but help others navigating a rough time as well. • Follow Moni on Instagram: @moniquebarry_ • You can find me: @elizabethanile • If you enjoyed this chat, why not share it on your social media and tag me and Moni!?

Thirteen years ago, Hugh van Cuylenberg's life changed forever when he visited a remote village in India.There, he learned about three principles: gratitude, mindfulness and empathy, or as he refers to it 'GEM'.A school teacher by trade, Hugh created a program founded on these values called The Resilience Project – the curriculum is now delivered to more than a million Australians, across a thousand schools, as well as sporting clubs and workplaces.Hugh has just released the follow up to his first book The Resilience Project called Let Go.It's his most personal work yet, based on his realisation on national radio he just wasn't okay anymore – a mighty hard thing to admit when you're known as "The Resilience Guy".I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of the book, and while it's full of the same wit, storytelling and banter Hugh is known for... it's also deep, raw and explores themes such as shame, perfection and ego, as well as his family's trauma and how he dealt with it.This is the second time the wonderful Hugh has been on the podcast - and I can guarantee you'll love listening to him just as much the second time around.Connect with Hugh: @hughvancuylenbergBuy Let Go here.As always, you can connect with me here.Did you know Lemonade has its own Instagram!?

There have been two life-defining moments in Deni Todorovic's life.The first - when they came out as gay to their deeply religious family as a teen.The second, when they came out for a second time as non-binary, just last year.Each time, a major period of upheaval and readjustment. Some very dark moments, then, a new path forward, emboldened by Deni's commitment to always be true to themselves. Now, Deni is at the helm of a movement for inclusivity... paving a path of belonging as the role model they needed not too long ago.This chat truly nourished my soul - I was on a high for the rest of the day, I think everyone can take away something unique from this conversation.

Jordanna Levin is one guest I've wanted to feature on Lemonade for some time now – a few minutes into this chat I think you'll understand why. She's a writer, podcast host, former food journalist, yoga teacher and published author of Make it Happen and Higher Love – the go-to-guide when it comes to love and relationships.So much of what Jordanna said during our chat landed for me, literally forcing me to stop and process the truth bomb she'd just dropped. We discuss why limiting beliefs are holding us back, how it can be really hard to understand the lessons when you are in the midst of emotional turmoil, how earlier in the year she lost faith in the universe and everything she believed in and the many practical things we can all do to raise our personal vibration to manifest the life of your dreams. It doesn't involve dancing around a fire, but by all means go ahead if that feels right!Connect with Jordanna:Instagram - @jordannalevinWebsite (where you can buy her books!) - www.jordannalevin.comAs always, you can connect with me here.Did you know Lemonade has its own Instagram!?

You probably know Khanh Ong as one of Masterchef’s most beloved contestants across the entire series.I’ve known Khanh for a little over a decade, and in that time I’ve watched him flourish from a fresh-faced 19 year old to now an incredible cook, television personality, author, restaurant owner and a staunch advocate for the LGBTQI+ community. But life hasn’t always been easy, despite what his glittering Instagram aesthetic and infectious smile will have you believe.Born in a refugee camp in Indonesia, encountering racism and bullying when settling in Australia, realising he was gay and coming out to the world, the untimely death of his father to liver cancer and his subsequent mental breakdown – Khanh’s story is testament to the fact life can throw you many, many lemons but it’s what you do with them that ultimately shape who you are as a person.This is honestly one of favourite Lemonade episodes – partly because it’s unlike any other I’ve done and if you’re an avid listener, you’ll know what I mean as soon as it begins!It’s free-flowing and hilarious but also gets really deep and profound in parts - just like my friendship with Khanh, really!This is part two of my conversation with Khanh.

Everything changed the morning of January 27, 2016 for Ashleigh Barber.Her brother Harley, who she was extremely close with, had been killed along with his passenger in a horrific car accident.And just to make everything worse, it was all over the news, social media and the papers. His final moments were inescapable, beamed everywhere, with the media desperate for a grab about the single worst moment in Ash and her family’s life.For the first time, Ash opens up about how she put one foot in front of the other in the months following Harley’s death, the relentlessness of the media, court, and everything that followed, grieving her brother and the future he now won’t have, why siblings are the forgotten mourners, writing as an outlet for grief and how she’s found her purpose in helping others through volunteering her time with a service to support grieving siblings.Thank you Ash for so bravely sharing your story with so much heart and vulnerability.A trigger warning – we discuss suicide.Follow Ash's page Life After Harley here, you can find out more about the bereaved sibling support service hereAs always, you can connect with me here24 hour support is available through Lifeline on 13 11 14If you’re enjoying this podcast, I’d be so appreciative if you could leave a review, hit five stars, subscribe, share it on your social media and tag us!

Growing up, Jessica Sanders never felt out of place. But it was somewhere during puberty she pieced together the only comments she received, were about how she looked. And being taller than everyone else, that’s what was pointed out. Every single time she met someone. So, she began to hate her body. She wanted to be smaller. Thinner. Shorter. She wanted to fit in with the other girls. She didn’t want to stand out. And she certainly didn’t want another person to comment on how much bigger or taller she was since the last time they saw her.Enter years of fad diets, yo-yo weight fluctuations, restrictive eating and that lie we all tell ourselves. I’ll be happy when... I lose that last 5 kilos. Until one day… she realised no matter how many calories she counted… this was her body. For life. So, she flipped her mindset, and decided to embrace who she is and what she looks like and love it for all that it is.She’s written a children’s book – Love Your Body – full of the kind of information and body positivity she needed to hear when she was young.Jess followed it up with two more books, Me Time and a follow up to Love Your Body for boys called Be Your Own man. I’ve read it to my son – and it’s a game changer.This is such a vital listen for mums or mums to be, or anyone who has struggled with dieting.We chat teaching children resilience and gratitude, role modelling body positive talk, equipping kids with tools to encourage positive mental health and bringing young boys into the conversation about self care and self love.Follow Jess here, check out her website here where you can buy her incredible books - a great Chrissy present!As always, you can connect with me hereIf you’re enjoying this podcast, I’d be so appreciative if you could leave a review, hit five stars, subscribe, share it on your social media and tag us!

Except, she didn’t know it.In fact, she was told a number of times her extremely painful periods were nothing to worry about and that others have it way worse.After five years of painstakingly searching for answers, she was finally diagnosed with stage 4 endo two years ago.It’s been quite the journey - and one that is way too familiar for anyone living with the condition.So, Bridget started EndoGram - an Instagram account to encourage conversations about endometriosis, raise awareness about the condition, and hopefully reduce the time it takes for a woman to be diagnosed – which is around 6.5 years on average.Around 1 in 9 women have endo – that’s 830 thousand Australians – made up of our mums, sisters, friends, perhaps even you. I adored this hilarious yet insightful chat with Bridget and I learnt a lot - I hope you enjoy it too.Follow Bridget here and check out EndoGramAs always, you can connect with me hereIf you’re enjoying this podcast, I’d be so appreciative if you could leave a review, hit five stars, subscribe, share it on your social media and tag us!

Blake Worrall Thompson is on a mission to improve men's mental and emotional health.He reckons it’s only once blokes feel comfortable opening up and expressing themselves, we can cultivate generational change.But it’s been quite the journey for Blake to reach this point in his life.He endured a traumatic childhood, where he says he rarely, if ever, felt safe.Then there was a tumultuous 18 month period where he lost everything. And I mean everything – his job. His money. His girlfriend. His car. His house. Even his health.But Blake wouldn’t change any of it for the world – because it was only once he was stripped of everything he valued – he was able to step into his true purpose.And that’s MoMENtum, a movement aiming to empower men to improve the quality of their lives.There were so many lightbulb moments in this chat for me to understand how I, as a woman, can better understand and support the men in my life and raise my son to feel safe and supported to embrace his authentic self.A language warning with this one if you've got little ears around.Also, Blake was in beautiful Byron Bay for this interview so you'll likely hear the birds singing their hearts out in the background. It was a nice touch for me in dreary Melbourne!Follow Blake here, check out moMENtum here.As always, you can connect with me hereIf you’re enjoying this podcast, I’d be so appreciative if you could leave a review, hit five stars, subscribe, and perhaps share it on your social media channels too!

We all have an idea of the kind of life an influencer lives.They go to all the cool parties. They wear the best clothes. They get sent everything for free and somehow manage to get a table at that restaurant that’s always too full for your booking. It must be so easy. Right?You probably know Tully Smyth as an influencer and former Big Brother housemate. You’d be forgiven for assuming her real life is just as sparkling as her Instagram feed.But as Tully says, behind closed doors, it’s a very different story.Just over a year ago, Tully’s mother passed away after a torturous 23 year battle with early-onset dementia. Tully described the entire experience - from diagnosis to her eventual death - as a living nightmare. She gives us a really candid, honest and raw insight into how this insidious disease devastated her family. But she also opens up about what it taught her, how it changed her, why adversity is our biggest teacher, and why she’s passionate about raising awareness so no other family experiences a similar torment.Tully's story is a testament to the saying that we should never, ever judge a book by its cover because we really have no idea what’s happening behind the scenes.This is the second instalment of my two-part chat with Tully.If you haven’t listened to part 1, do that first so it all makes sense, then come back and join us here.Follow Tully here and check out her podcast Too Much TullyAs always, you can connect with me hereIf you’re enjoying this podcast, I’d be so appreciative if you could leave a review, hit five stars, subscribe, share it on your social media!

It's an absolute honour to bring you this week's guest - Hugh van Cuylenberg.Hugh is the author of The Resilience Project, which, firstly, if you haven't read it – what have you been doing!? And secondly, read it ASAP – if not sooner!It's one of those books that once you read it, the lens you view the world through profoundly changes.Hugh was a primary school teacher when the course of his life changed forever during a volunteering trip in a remote town in northern India.It was here, teaching at the local school, with no running water, electricity or beds, he cracked the code of happiness.It wasn't found in the things we own, the cars we drive or the way we look. Happiness is cultivated through gratitude, empathy and mindfulness or what Hugh calls GEM.When he returned he created an evidence-based curriculum for schools called The Resilience Project founded on these very principles to tackle Australia's escalating rates of mental illness.A decade later, The Resilience Project has reached more than a million Australians from schools, sporting clubs and businesses across the country.In this chat we discuss: the silver linings of lockdown, the impact his little sister's battle with anorexia nervosa had on his family, how that experience led him to where he is today, why it takes time to glean the learnings from adversity, the GEM principles he lives his life by, why The Resilience Project has had such an impact and why school children will always be the program's focus, as well as some practical tips parents can implement to teach our children resilience.Follow Hugh here, get your hands on a copy of The Resilience Project here and check out Hugh's podcast The Imperfects hereAs always, you can connect with me hereIf you’re enjoying this podcast, I’d be so appreciative if you could leave a review, hit five stars, subscribe, this helps boost Lemonade in the rankings and will hopefully mean more people will find this content who perhaps really need it.

Jo Betz is a widow.But she doesn't dress in black. She isn't angry at the world. And she doesn't collect cats.Instead, she's a mum to her 7 year old daughter Heidi, a marriage celebrant and perhaps one of the most optimistic, loving and wholehearted people I've had to pleasure of meeting.Jo lost her husband Craig suddenly to an asthma attack in the early hours of the night almost three years ago.Her entire world was upended and shaken until almost unrecognisable in the space of a few hours.In the time since, Jo's relationship with grief has changed and transformed. At first, she lamented it, ignored it, cried through it.She thought she could tick through the five stages of grieving as if it was a to-do list, and once complete, she'd be free from its clutches forever.But eventually, Jo realised grief wasn't going anywhere, so she decided to welcome it in and accept it as part of her soul, profoundly impacting her healing journey in the process.Jo has just released Grief, a guided journal. It's the kind of book Jo would've loved when she was first navigating the grips of grief and it's already changing people's lives.Follow Jo hereGet your hands on a copy of Grief hereConnect with me hereIf you’re enjoying this podcast, I’d be so appreciative if you could leave a review, hit five stars, subscribe, this helps boost Lemonade in the rankings and will hopefully mean more people will find this content who perhaps really need it.

It's that time of the month again. No, not that one – it's The Juice with Monique Barry!For this very special milestone, we chat ego. What is it? Why do we have one? What does it look like when we are at the mercy of our ego? Should it be destroyed?What about our higher self? Why is it beneficial to tune into the guidance of our higher self? What can we learn from it?We then dissect the dark night of the soul – what triggers one? Why can they be so painful? How do we support ourselves through one?

These are the kinds of questions Melanie Dimmitt asked herself when her 6 month old son Arlo was diagnosed with cerebral palsy:Why has this happened to me?Will I ever stop comparing my child to typical children?How will my relationship survive?Will I be able to work again?Should I have another baby?And the big one: What will my future look like?It’s also the internal dialogue that prompted her to reach out to other parents with children with disabilities.She wanted to hear from those with lived experience about how to navigate this new life, and ultimately seek the reassurance she was craving that one day, it will all be okay.But what Melanie learnt through these conversations, combined with her own experience parenting her beautiful baby boy, was that life was going to be better than okay. Her little family was about to embark on a life, and a love, better than she could ever have imagined.These interviews culminated in a book, Special, a beautifully uplifting, relatable and honest roadmap for other parents in the early stages of learning the ropes of raising a child with a disability. It’s an incredible read - and one that’s changed the course for so many parents of children with all abilities. There is so much I learnt in this chat, I hope you feel as enriched by it as I did.You can follow Melanie hereGet your hands on a copy of SpecialConnect with me: @elizabethanileLemonade now has its own Instagram account chock-a-block full of self love inspo - follow here!Your support of Lemonade helps it grow and allows me to spend time finding awesome guests to share with you.

Mitch McPherson’s entire world was upended when at the beginning of 2013, his 18 year old brother Ty took his own life.Immersed in grief, he decided the least he could do was try and keep Ty’s name alive, so, he traced a simple drawing of a pair of shorts, as his little brother was always dressed in footy shorts, along with the words speak up, stay chatty with the TY at the end of 'chatty' capitalised.Mitch had no idea this simple sketch would be the catalyst for the creation of one of the most acclaimed suicide prevention and mental health promotion programs in the country.This is an incredible story of vulnerability, strength and the undying love of one man for his little brother, a young life gone far too soon. More than 3000 Australians take their life every year, 75% of those male. Heartbreakingly, suicide is the leading cause of death for people aged between 15 and 44, that's why movements like Stay Chatty are so vitally important. Mitch's work has saved lives.In this chat, Mitch and I discuss: his new role as a father to his beautiful little daughter, the impact losing his brother has had on how he'll raise her, how we should be raising young men in today's world by teaching them to be vulnerable, Speak Up Stay Chatty's humble beginnings and how it's grown to what it is today.A trigger warning - this conversation addresses suicide. If you, or anyone you know needs help, 24 hour crisis support is available through Lifeline on 13 11 14.You can follow Mitch here and Speak Up Stay Chatty here, and check out their website here.Take a look at Mitch's autobiography "Behind the Smile" here.Get in touch with me: @elizabethanileLemonade now has its own Instagram account chock-a-block full of self love inspo - follow here!Your support of Lemonade helps it grow and allows me to spend time finding awesome guests to share with you.

Lisa Cox was living a life just like so many others her age. She was 24, climbing the corporate ladder in the advertising world, she’d travelled the globe, moved to Melbourne, when she unexpectedly suffered a brain haemorrhage. She spent the next three weeks in a coma, two months on life support, and over the course of a year in hospital had pneumonia, two heart attacks, seizures, open-heart surgery, had to have one leg and all of her toes and nine fingertips amputated, a total hip replacement and died twice.Her family was told they’d likely have to turn off her life support but something incredible happened. Lisa’s brain started to recharge, regenerating every single cell in her body. The mammoth toll this all took on her body has impacted her speech and memory, left her 25% blind and epileptic with osteoarthritis in almost every joint. She had to relearn to do everything; feed herself, dress herself, speak, write, all of the things we take for granted every day.But, despite all of this, Lisa refused to let life defeat her. Instead, she saw it an opportunity to start over, to rebuild her life from the ground up, a chance to use her story to inspire others to dig deep when life throws you lemons, to live life on your own terms.She’s now a public speaker, author, disability advocate, model and all round one of the most inspiring humans I’ve ever met.You can follow Lisa here.Get in touch with me: @elizabethanileLemonade now has its own Instagram account chock-a-block full of self love inspo - follow here!Your support of Lemonade helps it grow and allows me to spend time finding awesome guests to share with you.

Happy Thursday!In this week's ep I chat about why we should never settle for anything less than we deserve in every area of our life.I discuss the reasons we could be settling, why it's important to delve into the why behind thinking we don't deserve any better, I ask you to challenge the patriarchal bullshit that has us believing we as women are the problem because we're too picky and therefore should lower our standards, what happens when we accept mediocrity as the benchmark of which we live our life, I tell my own stories of settling and how that impacted me, the role self worth plays in settling, and I also pass on some practical advice to help you work out if you're accepting less than you deserve.I'm pretty passionate about this one because I have so many women messaging me who are so sick and tired of being alone, they're desperate to settle for the next thing that comes along that's "good enough" and it always makes me so sad.We are all worthy of a life that fills us with heart-expanding joy, alignment, love and purpose and anything less than that will sentence our soul to suffer a slow death.

Happy Thursday!For this week's episode, I discuss patterns, using my own example of something that happened to me recently where I watched my old-programmed patterning play out in front of my eyes.We all have a programmed set of beliefs and responses, shaped by conditioning, traumas, past experiences. The question is whether they are useful or are they holding you back from reaching your potential? Have you outgrown what once served you? Are you ready to be released from their grip hold and usher in a new way of thinking, responding and therefore living?I chat about what patterns are, where they come from, their purpose, how they can keep us trapped, getting curious about our individual programming, tapping into our higher self/inner knowing, a useful mantra and strategies to become aware of your patterning and let them go.With all this kind of stuff, I'm no professional, I'm just sharing my experience in the hope it'll be helpful for you too. So please, consult a therapist if you've got questions or need some assistance. Help is ALWAYS at hand.Connect with me @elizabethanileLemonade now has its own Instagram account chock-a-block full of self love inspo - follow here!Your support of Lemonade helps it grow and allows me to spend time finding awesome guests to share with you.

We also discuss:How she's surviving isolation, why it's so crucial to take care of our mental health, the role therapy has played in her life, the horrendous racism she's experienced, how and why she forgave her mum.Part 2 will drop next Monday.Also, a language and content warning.Follow Khadija - @khadija_gblaConnect with me @elizabethanileLemonade now has its own Instagram account chock-a-block full of self love inspo - follow here!Your support of Lemonade helps it grow and allows me to spend time finding awesome guests to share with you.

This is a VERY special edition of The Midweek Squeeze because it's my 30th birthday today!I LOVE my birthday because it's filled with so much love and family and friends and good food and fun times.But with each birthday, and particularly a milestone like this one, I tend to get super reflective and use it to re-evaluate what's changed since this time last year, unpack what I've learnt, how I've grown, and ultimately how I want to feel, achieve, call into my life the next time my birthday rolls around.To mark the occasion, and as a form of catharsis for me, I thought I'd collate the 30 main lessons I've learnt during my 3 decades on earth. Of course, this list is evolving, and there are probably way more I could've included, but I guess they'll have to wait until the 40 lessons I've learnt by the time I'm 40 edition.I hope you get something out of this one!Connect with me @elizabethanileLemonade now has its own Instagram account chock-a-block full of self love inspo - follow here!Your support of Lemonade helps it grow and allows me to spend time finding awesome guests to share with you.
