Jayden Sheridan was just 17 years old when he found out he was going to be a father, and immediately he knew he needed to give his son better opportunities than he had.Growing up in regional Victoria, Jayden experienced homelessness, substance abuse, violence and a general lack of direction. He had no male role models in his life, but he did have the local skate park.It's where he went to feel safe and to feel himself, and Jayden wanted to create that same feeling for his son, and all the other kids in his town of Seymour.What started as adhoc skate lessons quickly turned into Gnarly Neighbours, something far bigger and more impactful than 17-year-old Jayden could have imagined.This episode of Conversations explores substance abuse, drug use, drug dealing, expulsion, troubled children, mental health, bipolar disorder, teen parenting, teen fatherhood, teen motherhood, skateboarding, skating, streetwear, origin stories, family dynamics, male role models, father figures, dysfunctional families, single parenting, rural and regional Australia.
This week Nicola and Di chat with the incredibly inspiring changemaker, Taryn Brumfitt. Taryn is an award-winning filmmaker, bestselling author and speaker on a mission to help people redefine the way they think about themselves and to end the global body-hating epidemic. She is best known for founding the Body Image Movement and her inspiring documentaries Embrace and Embrace Kids. Taryn has reached more than 200 million people with her inspiring work and in 2023, her efforts were recognised nationally when she was named Australian of the Year. In this chat we get to talk about how it all started back in 2013, when Taryn posted a non-traditional before and after photo of herself that went viral. Her intention was to show some friends of hers that were struggling with their own body image, that even though she had reached her ‘perfect bikini body' through dieting and bodybuilding, she was actually happier when she let go of that extreme way of treating her body and learnt to embrace her body exactly as it was. What Taryn didn't know at the time was that the photo would go viral, reaching tens and tens of millions of people, leading to worldwide media attention and changing her life forever. We hear about the deeply moving emails and messages that Taryn received from people all over the world sharing their own stories of body hatred and Taryn was determined to help these people and spread the message of self-love and body acceptance far and wide. Taryn has some wonderful tips in this episode for how you can begin to reframe the way you see yourself and start to focus on the way your body feels and what it can do for you, rather than simply your appearance. Taryn also shares what some of the pivotal moments along the way have been like - from winning Australian of the Year, to addressing the National Press Club in Canberra, and getting an invite to a State dinner at The White House with President Biden. This was a wonderful conversation with a brilliant woman who is doing such important work in the world. We loved chatting with Taryn and we hope you enjoy listening to her wisdom as much as we did.

Professor Richard Scolyer has helped transform the treatment of skin cancer in his role at the Melanoma Institute of Australia and his research has also helped aid additional breakthroughs. After Scolyer was diagnosed with an incurable brain cancer, he used his melanoma research to treat his condition - and the results paid off. Scolyer says he felt compelled to try the new research after learning the treatment for his brain cancer hadn't evolved in 20 years. "We had an opportunity to go down this path and it felt right for me - and I guess a bit risky." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But after he assaulted a prison guard, he ended up in one of Australia's toughest jails - Goulburn Correctional Centre. While Claude was inside, his father died, and he found out that he had inherited $60,000.It was a chance to start a new life when he got out of prison. But instead, he and a girlfriend checked into a hotel in Kings Cross and bought some backs of heroin. Within weeks, all of Claude's inheritance was gone.In 2006, Claude was back in prison when he decided to finally change his story.

It is was 7pm (ish) on the 25th of January, 2023. Gemma was on her porch eating chicken. Mia was on her couch drinking espresso martini's. Taryn was in Canberra being announced as Australian of the Year. What followed was an epic year for Taz and her team at The Embrace Collective including 90 odd flights, hundreds of keynotes and appearances, tens of thousands of fist bumps, 1 million children reached, and many millions more parents, teachers, coaches and leaders now better equipped to address the epidemic of body image distress in young people. In this episode, we dive deep into Taryn's reflections on her experience as 2023 Australian of the Year. You'll hear behind the scenes stories of how Taz dealt with intense public scrutiny, grappled with targeted critique, and struggled not to swear all year. As her chicken-eating, espresso-martini-drinking mates serve up some tasty questions, Taz dishes out the facts and her feelings about the year, dares to share some of her “head lines” (her inner monologue) behind the newspaper headlines, and declares her enduring commitment to ”fierce kindness”. She also reveals some juicy and hilarious stories that you're not going to want to miss. (Pssst…something to do with singing with the B52's and stealing from the White House!) Listen as we explore Taryn's pearls of wisdom about leadership, how “pottering” became her word of 2024, and how she edits Michelle Obama's famous quote about highs and lows to get real about the “mess in the middle“. We do need to warn you: Taz had to hold her swear words in for a whole year. In this episode, she does, therefore, let a few rip. You'll be pleased to know, on the matter of letting rip, that she did NOT, and we repeat, she DID NOT fart in the White House. That said, you may wish to take care with sharing this episode out loud if you've got little ears around.

Last Thursday melanoma researcher Professor Georgina Long was announced as Australian of the Year, along with colleague and friend Professor Richard Scolyer. As co-medical directors of the Melanoma Institute Australia, the pair are credited with saving thousands of lives. Their pioneering immunotherapy treatments for advanced forms of the cancer have resulted in 5 year survival rates increasing from less than 5% to more than 50%. In June of last year Professor Scolyer was diagnosed with glioblastoma IDH wild-type, a cancer that is usually fatal within six to nine months. Rather than undergoing traditional treatment, Prof Scolyer decided to experiment on himself, with Professor Long designing world-first treatments based on their melanoma work.

Taryn Brumfitt is a body image activist, documentary director, writer, speaker, and the 2023 Australian Of The Year. Taryn created the documentary ‘Embrace' to help us change the way we think about our bodies and ‘Embrace Kids' to teach 9-14 year olds how to respect, move and nourish their bodies. Kids learn their first messages about food, movement and body image from their parents but parents can't control what messages their kids learn outside the home. This is where Body Blocks comes in: a free learning resource for childhood educators. In this moving conversation, Taryn joins Steph to discuss how Taryn has reframed the parts of her body that changed through childbirth and feeding 4,000 meals to her children, the impact that parents' and teachers' language can have on kids for years afterwards, and the importance of sending positive messages to kids even if you don't always feel them inside.

Dylan Alcott is one of the best examples of 'bold' that Australia has to offer. Grand Slam winner, 2022 Australian of the Year, Paralympic gold medalist, Logie award winner, the list goes on! But as Dylan tells Chloé, these achievements haven't been without hardship. They chat about the importance of disability education in schools, Dylan's journey with self-love, and why everyone deserves to take up space. LINKS Follow Dylan on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
