This week on Expert, we're talking about the beauty products that genuinely changed the way we do our routines. Sadaf has a concealer that's earned permanent status in her makeup bag and a styling tool that's made her a once-a-week wash girl, while Tegan has discovered a dry shampoo that delivers serious volume, a two-minute hair mask that actually works, and the hair accessory that's officially replaced claw clips. Plus, we investigate whether blue-light glasses are actually worth wearing or just another wellness trend. Then in our deep dive, Tegan is unpacking the next wave of skincare ingredients. From PDRN and exosomes to peptides, she explains what they are, what the science says, and who might benefit from adding them to their routine. And in Adore Anonymous, we help a listener who's looking for the easiest way to master liquid eyeliner, with our favourite beginner-friendly formulas and application tips.

In this episode of Around the School Table (xuno.com.au/podcasts), host Steve Davis is joined by Stephanie Doyle, Founder of The Conference Planners (theconferenceplanners.com.au/), to explore how thoughtfully designed conferences can become powerful drivers of professional learning, leadership, and collaboration across Australian education. Drawing on her experience working with education networks, government systems, peak bodies, and school leaders, Stephanie shares why successful conferences begin with strategy rather than logistics. Instead of focusing solely on speakers and schedules, she explains how understanding delegate needs, defining clear objectives, and designing purposeful experiences lead to meaningful learning that continues long after the event concludes. Throughout the conversation, Stephanie explains why face-to-face professional learning remains invaluable despite the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and unlimited online information. While technology can provide quick answers, she believes genuine conversations, shared experiences, and collaborative problem-solving create insights that simply cannot be replicated online. As a result, conferences provide school leaders with dedicated time to reflect, connect with peers, and develop practical solutions for their own school communities. The discussion also explores the evolving role of educational leadership. Stephanie highlights how increasing compliance, wellbeing responsibilities, staffing challenges, and operational complexity have transformed the work of school leaders. Consequently, she explains why modern conferences must provide opportunities to build leadership capacity, encourage peer learning, and create environments where authentic conversations can flourish. In addition, Steve and Stephanie examine how conferences can better support both experienced and emerging leaders. They discuss the importance of intentional networking, structured collaboration, and creating welcoming experiences that help new leaders build meaningful professional relationships. Furthermore, Stephanie shares how exhibitors and education partners can achieve greater success by focusing on genuine engagement instead of transactional interactions. The episode also considers the importance of purposeful conference design, meaningful reflection, and measuring success beyond attendee satisfaction surveys. Stephanie explains why the most effective events are built around clear outcomes, trusted relationships, and practical implementation that benefits schools long after delegates return to their classrooms and leadership teams. Whether you are a classroom teacher, school leader, system leader, or education partner, this conversation offers valuable insights into designing conferences that inspire collaboration, strengthen leadership, and create lasting impact across Australian education.

In this episode, Paul and Chris challenge traditional command-and-control leadership and explore how clear direction, intentional boundaries and creative freedom can help teams do their best work. They unpack the concept of the “three scripts” fully scripted, ad-lib and improv and how leaders can use each approach to balance structure with creativity. They also explore decision-making, the power of constraints, the “seed model” for developing ideas, and the role of leaders in turning chaos into clarity. Whether you're a business leader, entrepreneur or creative professional, this episode offers a fresh perspective on leading with curiosity, confidence and the courage to make decisive choices in an ever-changing world.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't a lack of confidence...but caring too much about what other people think? In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde shares a simple moment from a morning walk that became an unexpected lesson in self-leadership. Watching a father joyfully sing to his baby daughter without worrying who might be listening sparked a powerful question... How much of your life are you editing because of an audience that isn't even watching? Julie explores why fear of judgement shapes our decisions more than we realise, how self-editing chips away at our confidence, and why authentic leadership begins with giving yourself permission to simply be yourself. In this episode: Why fear of judgement quietly influences our choices. How self-editing affects confidence and leadership. The hidden cost of trying to meet other people's expectations. Why authenticity is one of the greatest acts of self-leadership. A simple question that could change the way you show up.

Australia's best-known real-estate consumer advocate Neil Jenman calls in to talk with Jeremy Cordeaux about his new book "Questions Every Seller Must Ask" — and to blow the whistle on the traps costing home sellers dearly. Neil takes aim at vendor-paid advertising, the "uniquely Australian scam" where sellers are asked to pay for marketing up front whether their home sells or not, explains why auctions are often the worst way to get the best price, how commissions really work, and the one word — "justify" — that changes the whole conversation with an agent. Practical, plain-spoken and firmly on the side of the ordinary buyer and seller.

Geologist, academic and best-selling author Professor Ian Plimer joins Jeremy Cordeaux at the table for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense conversation about climate, mining and the resources that underpin modern life. Never one to shy from a contrarian view, the professor digs into the science behind the headlines, the economics of energy, and the yawning gap between political rhetoric and geological reality — with a few sharp words about ballooning public-sector salaries along the way. Provocative, informed and thoroughly entertaining.

Veteran broadcaster and journalist John Ovenden joins Jeremy Cordeaux at the table to swap stories from a remarkable career spanning more than half a century in radio and television. From the golden days of the industry to the simple joy of doing a program around a dining-room table — a nod to the very origins of Australian radio back in 1923 — John reflects on a life behind the microphone, the characters he's met, and the medium he still loves.

Adelaide broadcasting legend and entertainer Peter Goers phones in to talk about taking the lead as the irascible, razor-tongued Sheridan Whiteside in "The Man Who Came to Dinner," the classic festive-season farce now playing at the Arts Theatre on Angas Street, Adelaide. Peter runs through the season — weekend evening shows plus matinees that are already nearly booked out — the production by director Sue Wiley, and the all-star local cast, which includes Jeremy's own son, Christopher. Along the way he spins a few irresistible showbiz yarns, including a memorable brush with Rex Harrison at the Savoy in London. Warm, funny and unmistakably Adelaide.

Dr John Bruni, founder of SAGE International and host of The Focus, joins Jeremy Cordeaux at the table for a clear-eyed look at a turbulent world. They begin with Narendra Modi's crowd-pulling visit and Australia's large Indian diaspora — and why Modi is a far tougher operator than his public image suggests — before turning to the Middle East, Iran, the war, and the strategic chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz. Drawing on his years working in the region, John explains why the screaming headline is almost always wrong, and the truth far more complex than we're comfortable admitting. Essential listening for anyone trying to make sense of the global picture.

How many times have you told yourself: "I'm going to do that.""I really should get onto that.""This year will be different." And then… nothing changes? In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde explores one of the biggest reasons capable people fail to create meaningful change: the difference between being interested in something and being truly committed to it. Using a simple but surprisingly powerful story about homemade muesli bars, Julie unpacks the psychology behind why good intentions rarely lead to consistent action. She explores the "intention-behaviour gap"—the space between what we say we want to do and what we actually follow through on. Drawing on the research of psychologist Peter Gollwitzer, Julie explains why people are dramatically more likely to achieve their goals when they move beyond vague intentions and make specific commitments about when, where and how they'll take action. Whether it's your leadership, health, relationships or personal growth, this episode will challenge you to stop confusing wanting something with deciding to do it. In this episode, we discuss: The difference between being interested and being committed The psychology behind the intention-behaviour gap Why good intentions rarely create lasting change How procrastination keeps capable people stuck Why language shapes mindset and behaviour The power of specificity, structure and accountability Why clarity matters more than motivation How commitment changes focus, energy and follow-through Leadership habits that stay stuck in "interested" mode Practical strategies to turn intention into action This is a practical, honest and highly relatable conversation about self-leadership, accountability and closing the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

What happens when a woman becomes so good at responding to everyone else’s needs that she completely loses connection to her own? In this deeply reflective episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde explores a question that stops even the most capable women in their tracks: “What do you want when nobody needs anything from you?” It sounds simple. But for many high-performing women, the answer is far more difficult than expected. This episode dives into why so many successful women lose touch with their own desires, needs and sense of self after years of being rewarded for competence, responsibility and reliability. Julie unpacks the hidden cost of constantly being the “safe pair of hands” — the person everyone depends on — and why that identity can quietly crowd out personal fulfilment, joy and direction. Through stories from coaching clients and insights from years working with leaders and ambitious women, Julie explores: Why high-performing women struggle to answer what they truly want The difference between knowing what to do and knowing what you desire How responsibility, identity and fear bury personal fulfilment Why many women feel foggy, flat or disconnected despite looking successful on the outside The emotional cost of constantly living in response mode The role of people pleasing, obligation and performance identity How to reconnect with yourself without needing to blow up your life Why silence and space are essential for clarity The danger of building a life around “should” Small but powerful ways to reconnect with your own voice again Julie also shares the story of a highly accomplished client who realised she had spent years knowing exactly what everyone else needed from her — but no longer knew what she needed for herself. This episode is an invitation to pause long enough to ask yourself an honest question many women have not considered in years. What do you actually want?

Chrissie Swan doesn’t do many interviews. “I’m like Halley’s Comet,” she jokes of the astrological phenomenon that only appears every 75 years or so. Now, Chrissie is orbiting back to the other side of the microphone, a place she readily admits she doesn't tend to be. This week on Something To Talk About, Chrissie reflects on the headlines she refuses to let define her, and how she walks the careful line between sharing her life publicly and protecting her children privately. She also discusses leaving breakfast radio, giving up alcohol, co-parenting teenagers, and why uncovering generations of rebellious women and family tragedy on her upcoming episode of SBS’ Who Do You Think You Are? ultimately changed the way she sees herself. Chrissie’s episode of Who Do You Think You Are? airs on SBS on Tuesday, June 9, at 7.30pm. Watch the full episode with Chrissie Swan here.
