Nadia Mahjouri is a counsellor and group facilitator specialising in maternal mental health, with a professional background in research, focussed on ethics and feminist philosophy. She also has a fascinating backstory, that lit up the pages of her first novel, Half Truth.Her debut novel tells a somewhat fictionalised version of her own journey to find her family. Nadia grew up as a dark skinned child in 80's Tasmania,with a white mother who never talked about her Moroccan father. She had no contact and very little information about him or his family. When she was 21, she had a baby and just four months later packed him up, hopped on a plane and landed in Morocco. She felt pulled to connect with the side of her heritage and her identity that she had known nothing about. There, she started to unravel the many mysteries of her life and the discover all of the untold stories that lived within her DNA, in ways she could never have imagined.And of course, I wanted to hear all about it. Nadia's story is inspiring, moving and exciting. We covered so much ground, from the importance of identity and belonging, to the complexities of families and straddling cultures. This is a story about self-discovery, connection to roots and that age old question around nature vs nurture. You can connect with Nadia on socials at@nadiamahjouri. Listen to her podcastThe Whole Truth: Motherhood and the Writing Life with Nadia Mahjouri Or find her atwww.nadiamahjouri.com or at ww.theholdingspacecounselling.com Please leave a rating and review on iTunes sothis and other stories can find their way into new listener's ears! You'll find me at@jana.firestone or atwww.thecuriouslife.net Thank you as always to The Curious Life team –legendary sound engineer Sam Talbot and the wonderful Julie Reynolds of@audiolemonade .ww.audiolemonade.com

Leonie Akhidenor is property developer, a relationship coach and the host of the Parenthood Podcast, which was a finalist in the 2024 Australian Podcast Awards. Leonie is also a mother to two young boys and although she spends her time interviewing couples about their parenting experiences, she's not one to shy away from sharing her own, either. In this episode, Leonie delved into her own experiences with mental health, from anxiety to pre-natal depression and how she managed to move herself through some of those difficult days. We talked about the impact that family dynamics and background can have on our own parenting, and Leonie shared how the vast contrast between her father's upbringing in a village in Africa to her children's experience of relative privilege, growing up in Australia, informs her own choices in parenthood. There is so much in this episode, from taming that achiever mindset, the many shifts in identity as a parent and ways to balance our own needs and mental health with the demands of parenting. You can find Leonie on socials at @parenthoodpod and you can listen to the podcast wherever you get your pods.

Heidi Anderson is a bubbly ball of brilliant energy, who has pivoted from a life in the reality and radio spotlight, to PR and confidence hype queen. But she's not all sequins and sass, Heidi has had to do the heavy lifting to overcome significant challenges in her own life. From body image and self-esteem, to her new normal of balancing a busy work and media life, with her role as a doting mum to her beautiful young son and partner to her loving hubby. To manage this, Heidi is constantly evolving and doing the work in a meaningful way. In this conversation, we dug down into some of Heidi's most vulnerable spots. From grieving former identities and the path through a very difficult family choice, to a harrowing parental diagnosis that has brought Heidi and her family closer together than ever before. This one has laughter and tears but through it all, I hope it inspires you to ask yourself the hard questions, to talk to the people you love about the scary things and as Heidi says - to shed your shit!

Returning guest and one of our favourite documentarians, Marc Fennell sat down to unpack his new project that explores the early days of the internet and where it all went wrong, through a deep dive into a previously unexplored world of tech hippies, eccentric web subcultures and simmering paranoia, uncovering how this tongue-in-cheek artistic experiment backfired on its creator and went on to influence much of what's wrong with the internet today. Marc was quite candid about his approach to documentary making and storytelling, and to my delight, shared just how he really felt about being labelled as the "cheerful Aussie version of Louis Theroux" - the same day he was sitting down to interview Louis himself. This is a fun one. The Audible Original series, This is Not a Game with Marc Fennell, is out now. Listen for free at audible.com.au/notagame” My new book Plot Twist is available now in bookstores everywhere or online and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Victoria Vanstone has lived the nightlife of a rockstar – blazing through bars across the world, waking up in random locations with hazy memories of the night before, with clubbing injuries and risky scenarios all part of her weekly experience. It was a blisteringly good time – until it wasn't. As a mum of three kids, and an author with a thriving podcast, Vic is now sober and living in Queensland, in stark contrast to her blackout days. She has had some wild adventures, that she recounts in quite hilarious fashion, in her book A Thousand Wasted Sundays. We got right to the heart of things, unpacking Vic's journey to sobriety, through her early years growing up in the UK, to her many misadventures across the world – including a traumatic firsthand account of the Boxing Day Tsunami, bearing witness to the unthinkable tragedy in the unfolding days. We got deep about the complexities of parenthood, grief, peer judgement and accountability – and so much more. Vic's story is entirely engaging, totally relatable and incredibly inspiring. Listen to this ep and then grab yourself a copy of her brilliant book A Thousand Wasted Sundays, but be warned – you won't be able to put it down!

On this West Virginia Morning, after a new owner took over a Mercer County mobile home park, rents quickly went up while repairs slowed. One resident did some digging and found a reporter in California who had some unexpected answers about who this new owner was. Inside Appalachia Host Mason Adams spoke with reporter Julie Reynolds. The post Issues In A Mercer County Mobile Home Park And Our Song Of The Week, This West Virginia Morning appeared first on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

Journalism in America was a highly profitable business for more than a century until the internet – and other factors – disrupted the traditional business model resulting in decades of declining advertising and subscription revenue. Last week, the Los Angeles Times cut about 20 percent of its staff, adding to a growing list of news organizations making cuts in the past few months: The Washington Post, Business Insider, Sports Illustrated and NBC News. Meanwhile, hedge funds and private equity firms buying up newspapers has also changed the industry – a trend Bay Area filmmaker Rick Goldsmith examines in his new documentary, “Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink.” We'll talk about the demise of local newspapers, efforts to revive the news business, and what it means for democracy. Guests: Rick Goldsmith, documentary filmmaker; director, "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink" (2023), "Tell the Truth and Run: George Seldes and the American Press" (1996) and "The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers" (2009) Julie Reynolds, freelance journalist; producer, Gray Area - a podcast about justice and redemption; part-time associate editor, The Imprint S. Mitra Kalita, CEO, URL Media - a network of Black and Brown community news outlets that share content and revenue; publisher, Epicenter-NYC; veteran journalist; media executive; prolific commentator and author Ramona Giwargis, co-founder and CEO, San Jose Spotlight

We are back with Season 6 and we're kicking things off with a huge announcement! Plot Twist! You'll hear it here first and I'm so thrilled to finally be able to spill the beans. Following that big announcement, we welcome back returning guest, comedian Chris Franjola – live from Las Vegas. Well, he was live on location at the time of recording anyway. Chris brings some much-needed laughter and lightness into the conversation, and we talk about his Hollywood connections, what's next for Megan Markle, a tangential royal education for Chris – and the realities of life on the road as a touring comedian. We also connected over the battles of parenthood and unwelcome input from strangers – this episode really has it all. There are plenty of laughs and relatable moments in this one, and it's the perfect start to the year.

Welcome to the final episode for 2024… And what an ep it is! In this lucky last conversation for the year, I had the absolute privilege of meeting one of my favourite content creators, the brilliant Sean Szeps. If you're not already a fan – you soon will be. Sean is an American expat, author and a married father of twins who makes a living creating hilarious content on the (rude) realities of parenting. But in this conversation, I got to know the more serious side of Sean. The real Sean. Growing up in a religious family in New Hampshire, Sean's early discovery that he might be gay was a terrifying prospect. This sparked the beginning of a deeply existential and extremely difficult period in Sean's life, where he began to question everything. Sean has been through many difficult transitions in his life, but we go deep on the one that changed everything. We talked parenting and partnering, post-natal depression and mental health, and Sean left me with fresh ideas and insights on many aspects of family life, that we should all be pausing to consider. Sean shares all of this and more, but if you'd like to go even deeper, you must read his wonderful book Not Like Other Dads. You can find Sean on socials at @seanszeps. Connect with me at @thecuriouslifepodcast or @thedaysthatfollow and if you love this ep, please let us know with a rating or review on iTunes.

Get ready for Part 2 of The Road to Self via Paris, with Rachael Coopes. This episode opens with a personal interruption, that could not have been more perfectly timed. It illustrates the balance we are daring to strike at all times, as busy working parents, pulled between commitments and responsibilities, with demands on our time and energy tugging us in every direction. So how do we find ourselves in and among all of this beautiful chaos? How do we find stillness, follow our hearts and thrive in the middle of the maelstrom? We unpack that and plenty more, in this zinger of a second half of a conversation I could have carried on all day long. Listen now on all the podcast apps. Don't forget to leave us a rating and review on iTunes please! The team here at The Curious Life would be incredibly grateful for the support! You can find Rach at @rachaelcoopes.

Apologies for the delay in releasing this episode, although I know many of you will understand. With so much grief and horror unfolding in the Middle East, and then such sadness and disappointment with the referendum here in Australia, I thought it important to take a pause and recalibrate a little bit. I know that so many of you have needed that too. Thinking of everyone affected by the war and terror in Israel and Gaza, and standing with our First Nations families, here at home, hopeful for a brighter future for all. In this episode, the beautiful, bright light that is Rachael Coopes joined me again for an epic chat about her new book Paris For Beginners and the road to self and the learning that comes from those big life experiences. We went everywhere – from people-pleasing and the creative life balance, and stepping into your power amid the chaos. In fact, we covered so much ground that this episode has been split into two, so you don't miss a minute of the action. Enjoy Part 1 of our chat now, with the luminous Rachael Coopes.

In this episode, I had the distinct privilege of sitting down with RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under, S2 WINNER, Spankie Jackzon! I became a huge fan of Spankie's when the season aired last year, thanks to her raw honesty, genuine empathy and sparkling sense of humour. She wasn't afraid to speak up when things weren't right and showed the world that you can be a winner without tearing other people down to get there. Spankie is an absolutely riot, so funny and full of zest, but it wasn't always sequins and sparkles in Spankie's world. Before she was Spankie, Blair Macbeth had to survive a tough childhood in rural New Zealand. There was hideous bullying and some awful encounters, but at the centre of it, Blair was completely and utterly himself, with grit and resilience that has led to incredible things. But this is just the beginning for Spankie Jackzon and I personally can't wait to see what's next. This is a fun one, enjoy! You can follow Spankie at @spankie_jackzon Find me at @thecuriouslifepodcast and @thedaysthatfollow Please do leave us a rating or review on iTunes, it would mean the world!

You might know Brooke Blurton as Australia's first Indigenous, bisexual Bachelorette. Or perhaps as the contestant who walked away from the Honeybadger, on his infamous season of The Bachelor. You might have also seen her on Bach in Paradise. But Brooke is so much more than just a reality television OG. Brooke's journey to success came out of a childhood filled with unimaginable challenges, enormous loss but most importantly, immense love. Brooke is a podcaster, author and a youth worker, and we sat down for an in-depth conversation about the way that Brooke's childhood and survival mentality created the hustle mindset that stays with her today. We talked about grief and losing a parent, and our shared experiences in child protection. This led us into a deep conversation about community and culture, and the experience of First Nations Australians. It was such a beautiful conversation and one that I was so excited to be having, after reading Brooke's brilliant autobiography, BigLove. Brooke also stars in the Audible Original podcast, POWER Talks with Kemi Nekvapil (⁠www.audible.com.au/powertalks⁠), which is free for Audible members and non-members. You'll hear all about it in this episode, as we unpacked many of the themes that arose through her session with Kemi.

Ever wondered what really happens inside the stadiums of Hillsong? Or what exactly it is that draws people into these large-scale production religious events, that have even had the likes of Justin Bieber front and centre? And what encourages church members to dedicate their entire lives to the church, at what can sometimes be huge financial and personal costs? Well, you're about to find out. In this episode, I sat down with renowned journalist Marc Fennell, to unpack his experience making the brilliant new documentary, The Kingdom. Marc grew up in the Pentecostal church and brings a unique perspective to the complexities of faith and the juggernaut that is these larger than life, megachurch operations. Marc delves into how allegations of bullying, sexual assault and financial mismanagement have eroded Hillsong's once mighty empire and examines the answer to the question, who is going to inherit the remainder of the Kingdom? This was an eye-opening conversation about faith, belief, corruption and came with a lot of deep thinking and reflection from Marc's own personal experience as a former church member. You can catch this fascinating doco on SBS On Demand and you can find Marc on socials at @marcfennell.

This episode is a little bit different to our usual style, here at The Curious Life, and that's because we all need a little brain break from time to time. For some people it's long walks on the beach or a hot bath – in my case? It's reality television. In this episode, I had the thrill of chatting with American pop culture expert and podcaster, Ryan Bailey. If like me, you've been glued to the hourly updates from Scandoval HQ or are a fan of the Real Housewives in any capacity, then this will be a real treat for you too. If you're new to reality TV or are sceptical about it in any way, there are some themes unpacked here that may just change your mind. Reality TV isn't the fluffy escape that it used to be. It's become dark and raw and the storylines, like what is playing out in the current Vanderpump Rules season, have taken us from couch potatoes to armchair experts, dissecting and diagnosing and united in our outrage and disbelief. Ryan and I had so much fun in this episode, sharing our thoughts and theories on the themes of latest Bravo TV shows, as well as discussing the impact of reality tv consumption on mental health, the profound effect on viewers and why we so often feel so connected to the people we love to watch (and hate watch) on TV. For more of Ryan, you can catch his brilliant in-depth pop culture podcast at @sobaditsgoodwithryanbailey.

In today's episode I sit down with Hannah Ferguson, the 24 yo Founder and CEO of Cheek Media. Cheek Media is a news commentary platform that sits at the intersection of social, political and feminist news. Prior to this, Hannah studied law, and was enjoying a really bright and fulfilling legal career.    When we sat down for this honest conversation in February 2023 Hannah was just a couple of months into a very exciting new career chapter. At the end of 2022 she made the bold decision to quit her sensible – and excellent – role as union representative – and packed up her life and moved from Brisbane to Sydney to go full time at Cheek Media, and in the depths of writing her first book. This is the sweet spot of where I think career development is at its most exciting and messy.    In the first part of this honest conversation, Hannah shares with us all through the steps that she has taken in her short but illustrious career to lead her to become Founder and CEO of Cheek Media. In the second part of our conversation we talk about Cheek Media.  I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities as to where your legal career may take you.  The books we discussed are Another Day in the Colony by Chelsea Watego, Talkin' Up to the White Woman by  Aileen Moreton-Robinson and Tell Me Again by Amy Thunig  You can connect, follow and Rose Inglis on:  Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/rosetintedlaw/ Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roseinglis/ and https://www.linkedin.com/company/rosetintedlaw/ And you can be the first to know of RTL events and new podcast episodes by signing up to my mailing list at my gorgeous new website! https://rosetintedlaw.com.au This episode was mixed by Julie Reynolds: https://www.audiolemonade.com

My guest today is a woman who is wise not beyond her years but because of her years: Christine Lister is the author of Goddesses in You. Her book illuminates how archetypal patterns are the doorway into a hidden universe, revealing the key to who you truly are. From Greta Thunberg to Jacqueline Kennedy, influential women of today can be understood by looking at the 12 ancient goddess archetypes. Together, they span the panorama of features, the fullness of femininity, that exists in human imagination and the collective unconscious. Using an intuitive blend of mythology, psychology, feminism and spirituality and as a psychic lens, Goddesses In You reveals how you can better connect with these powerful inner forces that shape our lives. Christine and I delve into the 12 goddesses and which goddess, Christine believes, best represents Britney Spears, Ghislaine Maxwell, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the late Queen Elizabeth.

This is one of those episodes that when listening back, I was crying, laughing and doing both at the same time. Georgie Abay gets it. Georgie's new book Best Laid Plans truly spoke to my soul. Having recently had Baby #3 and trying to strike the balance between ambition, passion and family demands, I was underslept, overwrought and so, so ready for this conversation. Georgie and I clicked immediately and went deep into her experience as a mother, having had two traumatic and premature births in quick succession, challenging first months with her babies, along with enviable career opportunities to rival any Hollywood movie. We unpacked the raw and ugly truth about the toll that parenthood can take on your mental and physical health - as well as your relationship - and the complex layers that compound all of these issues for so many of us. Georgie Abay is a busy woman, a creative and a former Vogue Australia deputy editor, founder of The Grace Tales and current acting Head of Marketing Campaigns, Operations & Content at Mecca. She truly knows the pressure that so many of us feel as women – but best of all – she is willing to talk about it. What worked, what hasn't and why. Don't miss this one – and grab yourself a copy of Georgie's book now for an inside look at her brilliant career, the highs and the lows, and her generous gift of insight and reflection that I know will connect with so many.

Rob “Millsy” Mills rose to fame on Australian Idol in 2003 and spent the immediate years following, under the dizzying and intense spotlight of fame. At the height of the Idol frenzy, Rob had a terrifying panic attack that literally took him right to the edge and back. This was his first brush with mental health in a serious way and one that we got into during our conversation in this episode. Rob is a bit of an open book and has taken that approach in his new role as an author, sharing so much of his own life and reflections while exploring all the edges of masculinity and mental health, and what it means to be an “Aussie bloke”. Turns out there isn't one single way to be a man in this country and thank god for that! We unpacked Rob's reasons for diving into such a meaty topic, and what he learned from the conversations he had with some of the country's top experts in mental health. Rob also shared his thoughts on the complexities of shifting family dynamics, mateship and the incredibly important role his relationship with his two brothers has had over the years. Rob has done a huge amount of research for this book, covering areas like toxic masculinity, gender equity, violence, suicide, online misogyny, penis size and sexuality but all handled with humour and deep insight that has certainly left me, a mother of three young boys, rethinking so much of what will be important in raising them. It's a great chat. Grab your copy of Rob's book “Putting On A Show”, read it and give it to all the men in your life. You can find Rob on Insta at @robmillsymills or at www.robmills.net.au. Follow along at @thecuriouslifepodcast and please let us know your thoughts on the ep! Edited and Voiceovers by Julie Reynolds of Audio Lemonade.

Bonus Episode; BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series Host/Creator Di Spillane released her debut blues/gospel single “The Underground Railroad” on the 22nd of September to raise Narcolepsy awareness on World Narcolepsy Day.

She did this despite suffering from the rare sleep disorder “secondary narcolepsy” or “posttraumatic hypersomnia”, which she developed after having received a severe blow to her head. Di has lived with type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy since childhood, and despite having had symptoms for most of her life, she didn't receive a diagnosis until she was 49.

At age 20, Emma Carey literally fell out of the sky. She landed at full speed on the ground, with an adult male strapped to her back – and survived. But that's just the beginning of the story. Two minutes that changed everything and started Emma on the most painful, impactful, inspirational journey that has led her to where she is today. Surviving the fall was one thing, but how did Emma survive the recovery process? The lengthy legal process? The psychological battle that she had the grit and determination to win. But interestingly, there was already a dark undercurrent that Emma had been dealing with since she was a teenager. Emma learned some invaluable lessons in her recovery from her massive, life-altering injuries and she quickly developed an impressive resilience and gained a remarkable positive outlook on life. She shares those lessons with us, as we unpack anxiety, facing mortality and discovering gratitude for the small things in life. Emma's memoir “The Girl Who Fell From The Sky” is available everywhere and you can find her at @em_carey on socials.

Maddison is an employment lawyer, diversity and inclusion advocate and public speaker. As you will learn from our very honest conversation, Maddison is an absolute firecracker and trailblazer. She is hilarious, ambitious, outspoken and extremely community minded. Maddy does not do anything by halves. She does not anything by the book. This includes her legal career. Maddison studied law at Griffith University, completed a couple of clerkships but did not get a graduate offer. She commenced her legal career at Griffith University's in-house legal departments' inaugural graduate program. While she initially did general corporate work she gravitated towards employment law. When COVID hit, she was seconded to the employment law team where she was advising the university on its costs saving measures (i.e. mass redundancies and not renewing employment contracts). Unfortunately she experienced the same fate as many of her colleagues and found herself without a job in the pandemic. How she navigated this is nothing short of bold, brave and inspiring. And where she has landed is nothing short of impressive. I hope you enjoy this honest conversation about Maddison's legal career and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities as to where your legal career may take you.

Caralee Fontenele enrolled in law school in her late twenties, and then, when she graduated, she set up her own law firm. Her first hire was a Principal Solicitor to supervise her and she brought in plenty of work for them both. So bold. Today she owns and runs the successful Collective Family Law Group which has three offices in Queensland and The Scalable Business Lounge where she helps other law firm owners scale without burnout, sharing many of the lessons she has learned the hard way. How she got here is fascinating. Caralee dropped out of high school when she was 16 and got married and had babies young in her early twenties. She spent the first part of her twenties dedicated to family life and supporting her husband's business. She admits, that back then, she left the finances to her husband and did not take any responsibility for her career. However, receiving the raw end of their divorce settlement was a harsh wakeup call, so she enrolled in law school in her late twenties and turned her life around. This honest conversation with Caralee is a pep talk on getting your shit together, taking responsibility for your finances and career and reassures us that it is never too late to start. I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation between friends and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities of where your legal career may take you.

Cristabel Gekas is a Melbourne Uni JD graduate and People and Operations Manager at XY Sense, a tech start up using smart sensors and AI powered analytics to create workplaces that people love. I met Crista when she was a law student whose sights were firmly set on a top-tier legal career. She was working extremely hard to tick all the boxes to get there – She was leading The Legal Forecast, para-legal and interning, networking up a storm and studying extremely hard. However, things did not go according to her carefully thought-out plan. Crista's interest in legal tech led her to realise that she was much better suited to more entrepreneurial and dynamic environments. She then realised that she did not actually want to become a lawyer. She is now killing it in the technology start up space. In this honest conversation Crista shares with us: - Her long term ambition to study law - All the hard work she put into the seasonal clerkship process - What happened when she did not get a graduate offer - How her interest in legal tech lead her to a career in technology - Why she loves start ups - Her advice for others Crista gets super honest and vulnerable about her clerkship experience and her perspective is an absolute breath of air. I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities of where your legal career may take you.

Anne Wong is Legal Transformation Leader at BHP and an absolute power house in the burgeoning legal operations industry. I first met Anne when I was teaching at Deakin Law School, and where she was a penultimate year student. Even then, she was super clear on her ambition to pursue a career in legal operations and sought advice from me as to how to get there. In her relatively short, but super impressive legal career (she only qualified to practice in 2019) she has traversed various law firm roles to land inhouse at the BHP Legal Transformation team. In this honest conversation Anne shares with us: - What it is like to be a first-generation lawyer - Her quest for “confident humility” - The importance of staying true to her values and goals - Behind the scenes of her accelerated career trajectory into legal operations - Her brilliant ‘week of enlightenment' - What she actually does on a day-to-day basis - Her decision to relinquish her practicing certificate - Her decision to move inhouse when her law firm career was excelling.

Jacqueline Butler is one of my uni besties and a hot shot employment lawyer. Jacqueline very fortunately found her passion for employment law in her graduate year and she has since worked both private practice and in-house. In this honest conversation Jacqui shares with us: - Her employment law career journey (including the time she made the “wrong” decision) - The conscientious hard work that goes on behind the scenes to “have it all” - Readjusting career ambitions and priorities in light of motherhood - Whether there is such a thing as “whole life balance” - Her advice to others. I have always admired how clear Jacqui has been in her goals and how conscientiously she works to achieve them.

This episode is a juicy one. It was recorded at the end of Melbourne's 1000th lockdown in 2021 at a time when we were particularly vulnerable, and it is the reason why I created this podcast. Rachel Waters is very much a woman after my own heart, and indeed we have a lot in common. Rachel studied Law/Arts at La Trobe Uni from 2007 – 2011, exactly the same as me. While we have mutual friends and knew of each other, we never had our own friendship. Our paths crossed again last year at an industry event, and we immediately clicked. In catching up on what we had been doing the last 10 years we realised we had a lot in common. She had also lived and worked in London and packed a lot of different things into her career. She had been a judge's associate, had gone to the Vic Bar, and was now in a policy role at the County Court. And the other reason we immediately clicked at that event is that our conversation got really deep / really quickly. She started telling me about the good, the bad, the highs and the lows and everything in between. She told me about how she achieved her dream of becoming a criminal barrister very early on in her career but then struggled when life at the Bar was different to how she had imagined. I had goosebumps and immediately knew that I was making new friend. In this honest conversation Rachel shares with us: - Her unique career path; - Whether the legal industry is about what you know or who you know; - The art of creating your own luck; - What happens when you dream job is not exactly as perfect as you envisaged; - How to stay true to your unique career journey. I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities of where your legal career may take you.

Ariella Nyssa is a breath of fresh air. Not only is she an incredible advocate for body positivity, she is also the author of The Self-Love Bible, which is jam-packed with anecdotes and exercises designed to get readers reflecting about how they think and feel about themselves from the inside out. But things weren't always so rosy for Ariella. Growing up in a religious community, the expectations of what her future should look like were vastly different from the world she now lives in. These expectations and beliefs saw Ariella fall in with the wrong crowd as a teenager, making choices that saw her fall deeper into the religious beliefs of her community. As a result, Ariella found herself getting married and then divorced, all before the age of 20. Her mental health suffered significantly, to the point where she was actively considering ending her own life. This was a terrifying realisation and a lightbulb moment that led her to the glorious path that she is on today. Ariella is a bright light, full of warmth and insight who has seen the darkest days and been able to turn them into beams of positivity. Her story is inspiring. You can find her at @ariellanyssa and @theselflovebible_ We would love to hear your thoughts, so please share them via @thecuriouslifepodcast and remember to share, like and subscribe.

Jon Faine is an award-winning broadcaster, known for his tenacity, fearlessness and as Tony Abbott once put it, his always being prepared to ask the "mongrel question". It was because of this reputation that he felt compelled to bring to light some of the dark and horrifying truths of Australian history, that Jon uncovered during his research for his new book Apollo & Thelma. While the secrets he discovered were shocking and abhorrent, and there in black and white on the page, Jon realised that much of this Indigenous story has been kept hidden from the history books. Jon has both a personal and a professional interest in making these truths known and he shares much of those inside the book. Apollo & Thelma is a number of true stories cleverly woven together, from the tale of the famous strong man and his family to Jon's honest and frank account of his early years as a young and mischievous lawyer - and how these stories have intertwined for over 40 years. In this conversation, Jon shares his experience with Imposter Syndrome, reflects on his youthful risk-taking behaviour (that he is surprised he survived at times), and why it was important for him to write this book during a very difficult time in his life. Jon is one of the great storytellers and it was an absolute privilege to have this conversation with him.

In this Encore Edition of What Works, freelance investigative journalist Julie Reynolds talks about her singular pursuit of the truth about Alden Global Capital, the secretive New York hedge fund that has gobbled up newspapers across the country, stripping assets and firing reporters. Reynolds connects the dots from Alden to Cerberus Capital Management, the "shadow bank" that backed Alden's recent takeover of Tribune Publishing. Dan explores pink slime news sites, and Ellen reports on some good news for newspaper readers in the town that inspired Frostbite Falls, home to Rocky and Bullwinkle.  Dan and Ellen interviewed Julie in October 2021 but her research is still valid today, an unfortunate circumstance for the future of independent local journalism.

Welcome to Season 4 of The Curious Life Podcast! In the first episode of the new season, you'll meet Jordanna Levin. Jordanna is the author of three successful self-help books, but she's not actually a fan of the genre herself at all. In fact, it's because of this, that her writing in personal development takes a slightly more self-deprecating, honest and revealing turn. After suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage, through her grief Jordanna came to the realisation that she was never going to be the same person she was before this life-altering loss. And that was okay. It was just going to take a little bit of work to discover who she had become and who she was going to be in the future. Reflecting on her own three steps to self-awareness allowed her latest title Make You Happen to be written, a follow up to her first book Make It Happen - helping readers to manifest their best lives and best selves. In this episode, Jordanna shares much of her own personal story of loss, career rollercoasters, pivoting and following your passions. She also shares her thoughts on the practice of manifestation and simple ways that we can get curious about our own lives and all begin to manifest the truest, most powerful version of ourselves. You can find Jordanna here @jordannalevin.

AJ Clementine always knew she was a girl. Even when her mum was pregnant with her, she was certain she was having a girl and had all the cravings and symptoms to prove it. Imagine the confusion all round, when she was born into the 'magical' shell that looked, on the outside, like a perfect little boy. Starting life as a boy on the outside made the world a very confusing place for AJ. In her teens, this conflict between her outer and inner selves exploded, igniting years of anxiety and panic attacks. In the final episode of the year, AJ shares some of the pieces of the journey of her gender transition and her transformation into a model, digital creator and transgender advocate. AJ is a ray of light and generous with her thoughts and experiences. We unpack some of the themes of her book Girl, Transcending and find out what life has been like for AJ in the years since those dark times.

Kate Langbroek has been a shining star of radio and television for the last two and a bit decades and is known for her quick wit and mirthful observations - and isn't afraid to share a strong opinion, either. Two years ago, Kate was at the top of her game with a top rating radio show with a legion of avid listeners and regular, much-loved television appearances. At the height of this acclaim, Kate and her husband Peter, made the bold move to pack up their family of six and move them to Italy for a year. What came next was a combination of highs and lows, time for reflection and a healthy dose of la dolce vita. One year in Italy rolled into two, when Kate found herself at the epicentre of the global pandemic during what should have been her sweet escape. So, what sent her packing? And how did she manage with all those kids in an apartment during months of intense lockdown on the other side of the world? Kate chats with Jana about the magic of Italy, the stark realities of life as a busy mum of four and the depths of grief that having a child with a cancer diagnosis brings. Kate has plenty of advice for Jana as she gives us insight into her own little wolf pack and just how she is raising her three boys to be good men. They chat about the changing landscape of friendships, medieval plague doctors and all the beauty that lies within Kate's brilliant new book Ciao Bella! It's a vibrant conversation that will have you both laughing and crying, much like Kate's book.

This impacts her life in every way imaginable and in this episode, Jamila shares some of the battles she has had to face in dealing with this from initial diagnosis, through treatment and in the unexpected ways that her mental health has been challenged beyond the medical interventions.

Tilly Lawless is a queer, Sydney-based sex worker who is using her platform to break down the many misconceptions and stereotypes about the sex industry. But as you'll hear, that is just one string to the bow of this multifaceted, brilliant young woman. Tilly was outed as a sex worker by the world news, when she sparked a movement by creating the hashtag #facesofprostition, in response to an unfair depiction of sex workers in an article published by Mamamia. Tilly's response on social media led to a global response from sex workers around the world, bringing to light the real people behind the sex work industry. Tilly is an accomplished speaker, activist and Ted Talker, breaking down the barriers and sharing her insights into the challenges faced by many in the sex industry. Tilly has shared some of her own personal experiences as a sex worker in her brilliant debut novel, Nothing But My Body. Her writing is a literary feast, taking us deep into the inner sanctum of her brothel work while taking us through the complexities and the emotional turmoil of a breakup, her deep connection to her friends and to her roots in northern NSW. Tilly's insights are vivid, sharp and thought-provoking. If you've ever wondered what it's really like to be a young woman in the sex industry, then strap in for this one. Tilly does not hold back.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to discover you were descended from royalty? This week's guest didn't have to imagine. Princess Sarah Culberson was adopted at the age of one, into a loving, white family in West Virginia and raised knowing very little about her birth family. When she decided it was time to start the process and begin to explore her roots, she unlocked a secret that was bigger than anything she could ever have dreamed of. Not only did she find her birth father and travel to Sierra Leone to meet him, her arrival was met with a celebration and reunion that was fit for the screens. In fact, her story is so incredible that Disney has bought the rights and is making a movie out of the events that unfolded from her beginnings in America to her enormous discovery in Sierra Leone. But taking her place in the line of succession was not the end of the story for Princess Sarah. Her journey to Sierra Leone has sparked a movement for change and she is now committed to making lasting change in a country that has come to mean so much to her. Princess Sarah is an incredible ray of light. She is warm, bright and an exceptional storyteller. You cannot help but be moved by her extraordinary story and I know you're going to love this one.

Joshua Coombes is the founder of the #DoSomethingForNothing movement, that encourages people to contribute their skills, time or simple acts of kindness to people who need it most. This is something that Joshua himself, has been doing for many years now. In 2015, quite by chance, Joshua met a man who was living on the streets, and they shared a long and meaningful conversation. As a professional hair stylist, Josh happened to have his scissors and clippers with him and on the spur of the moment, offered him a haircut. That moment transformed Joshua's life in the most monumental way. This one moment of connection on the streets of London to the streets of the world, sparked a movement and Joshua has continued to offer his time and skills to people living on the streets across the globe. This isn't about Josh though, and he would be the first to say so. It's about the incredible stories of human connection that he shares with each individual. By sharing these transformational stories through social media and now through his beautiful book Do Something For Nothing, Joshua's aim is to destigmatise the issue of homelessness and advocate for social change. In this chat, Josh shares some of the poignant stories he has encountered along the way and the lessons he has taken away from them. It's a moving discussion, delving into the themes of homelessness, love, inequality, shame and resilience. His work is truly inspiring and takes him around the world, amplifying the voices of some of life's forgotten people. Josh is an incredibly humble, down to earth human, doing wonderful things for the global community.

Stacey is now a self-care coach with a passion for women's voices being heard and delves into issues that others fear to broach.. And that's exactly where we go in this episode.

Self-care is so much more than the basics and talk about what that looks like in Stacey's world.

In this episode I interview the very brave and honest friend of mine, Julie, she shares her story of how her first couple of months with her new baby boy should have been very different to how it was.  Strong, independent, career driven woman, Julie didn't see post natal anxiety coming and it hit hard. She is here to open up about her journey in the hope it might help others reach out and talk.

Content Warning: This episode includes an open discussion about suicide. In this episode, I chat with the lovely Jules Sebastian, who you might know as a stylist, the host of the podcast and YouTube series Tea & Honesty and as the wife of singer and songwriter, Guy Sebastian. Jules can now add author to her list of achievements with the release of her first book Tea & Honesty. We sat down to chat about some of the important themes that Jules addresses in her book, from the perils of comparison in parenting, to understanding and raising wild boys and the challenges she has faced as a very busy mother of two, with a thriving media career and a schedule that demanded she make some tough decisions. Jules also shared her painful experiences with grief, following the loss of her brother to suicide. As anyone who has lost someone they love will know, the pain and the anguish can feel insurmountable. In this conversation, you will hear how beautifully Jules has been able to work through the loss, to find the moments of acceptance and joy, even through the darkest days. It's incredibly heartening to hear her trademark positivity guiding her through what undoubtedly has been an immensely painful time for her family. Jules shares so much of her story in this heart warming chat and just like in her book, there are a lot of lessons to take away, for anyone who might be wondering how to get through the trenches they might find themselves in or have any sense of doubt about who they are and where they are heading.

Welcome to Season 3! In our first episode of the new season, we chat with writer, director and actor Kathleen Lee about her compelling Australian web series, Sex and Death. It's an awkward and hilarious look at love and relationships through a neurodiverse lense. Kathleen shares much of herself in the series, as she explores the challenges she has faced in her own efforts to interpret human interactions throughout her life, and highlights the strangeness of the neurotypical people around her. After a lifetime of masking her difficulties and after she had wrapped the series, Kathleen finally received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. In this episode, Kathleen chats about the road to her diagnosis and how it transformed her life exponentially. So often we hear about what life on the Autism Spectrum is like for children, but it's rarely do we hear the stories of young adults, making their way in the world and what it can be like to navigate the sticky mess of sensory overload, music festivals, relationships and the realities of adult life when you're neurodiverse. Kathleen is incredibly generous with her insights and experiences and is a young film maker to keep your eye on! The series was aired on SBS Viceland but you can catch it here on YouTube.

In this episode, we meet the incredibly funny, bright and brilliant Gabrielle Scawthorn who went from Ipswich school girl to Channel V presenter and contender in one swift kick. An overnight baptism of fire saw Gab rubbing shoulders with the biggest names in entertainment and presenting on live TV, while competing for an ongoing position with the station. Gab shares some of her more precarious moments as an underage girl who found herself backstage and in hotel rooms with musicians almost twice her age, and the experience of being on reality television before there was social media. Gab talks frankly about the impact this had on her mental health when the show ended as abruptly as it began, and the dark places this took her through. Needless to say, Gab had plenty more to give and what followed was training at the prestigious NIDA and a stellar career on the stages of Australia and the UK. This young firecracker has also been hosting a new podcast called Back From Reality, deep diving into the muddy waters of reality TV from every perspective. Gabrielle is an absolute delight with magnetic energy and I could have spent all day unpacking the problems of the world with this lovely one! Gab is also starring in a one-woman show called The Apologists, at the Old 505 Theatre in Sydney after two highly successful seasons in London. The Sydney season is running from January 20-31.

In this episode, we meet with Kath and Terry, two of the lovely people featured in The Feed documentary, Covid Surrogacy. (Now available at SBS On Demand). Both Kath and Terry have their own stories about surrogacy here in Australia. Two very different paths that eventually led theirs to cross, and for two beautiful lives to be created. The doco explores the stories of families at various stages of the surrogacy process, from the perspective of intended parents, local and international surrogates and the incredible women caring for the babies who have been born during COVID and have been left stranded overseas due to travel restrictions. Kath and Terry share the events that led up both pregnancies, the reality of carrying a baby that is not genetically yours (and will be handed to their parents after the birth), the highs and lows of the hormones, and the emotional bond that has formed between the families through their experience. Terry and his partner Ben came very close to not being present for their daughter's birth, from travel restrictions to legal arguments and that left huge questions for both families about what would happen in the event of the worst case scenario. They share all that and more, and in this eye-opening discussion that sheds light on a slice of the reproductive world that is not often talked about. To follow the journey of Kath, Terry, Ben and their two gorgeous girls, you can find them on Instagram at Making Another Berry.

Michala has worked in front of the camera from the tender age of 18 months (although insists that doesn't really count), and rose to fame in the acclaimed Australian family drama Always Greener.

Over the course of the conversation, Michala analysed some of her own professional setbacks, and how she has overcome some of her biggest challenges.

In this episode, we meet three people whose lives have been impacted by eating disorders, with stories that are less commonly shared in mainstream media. The Butterfly Foundation's Talking Helps campaign was created to urge people living with an eating disorder, to reach out for help - particularly those who may not fit the eating disorder stereotype. To bring to light some of those stories, I had the opportunity to talk with Dominik and TJ who have lived with eating disorders themselves and are now in recovery. They both have stories that we don't typically hear, as men suffering with disordered eating and the ways that they were able to access support and begin their recovery journey. I also spoke with Amelia, who gave us an insight into her work for the Butterfly Foundation's National Helpline, supporting people with eating disorders and their families, carers and professionals. These were enlightening conversations and reinforced the importance of taking that first step, to talk with someone about your mental health. For anyone wondering about their own relationship with food or their bodies, call the National Helpline to talk with someone today 1800 33 4673.

Who better to share some insights into men's health than this week's guest - Dr Kieran Kennedy.

For those that don't know, those last two take a total of 12 years study and a serious commitment. He is passionate about health and fitness and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health. Dr Kieran is incredibly warm and funny, intelligent and informed and we had an enriching conversation about men's mental health, the personal and professional impact of the current COVID climate, and what it's been like working at one of Melbourne's busiest hospitals during the pandemic. We also talked about managing anxiety and self-care, as well as some moving stories from his life as a doctor. He talks with ease about the more difficult things in life and as a mental health professional myself, it was a delight to tackle some of the bigger issues together.

In this well overdue episode (apologies - COVID chaos!), I met with PR maven and quite literally one of the loveliest, warmest people I've ever met - Angela Ceberano. Ange is the Founder and Managing Director of Flourish, a creative communications agency based here in Melbourne, who spent some time chatting with me about the highs and lows of her personal and professional life. Ange has had a thrilling career to date, spending the first 10 years working with some of the biggest names in music, as the National Publicity Manger at Sony Music Entertainment. She has quite literally seen it all. And some of it's pretty juicy! She is also a self-confessed workaholic who has paid the price for throwing everything she has into her passions, finding herself in hospital and forced to down tools. Ange gave us a peek into her marriage with musician Phil Ceberano and shared some of her experiences of their continuing IVF journey. In the lead up to the interview, Ange told me that she is an open book and that nothing was off limits. This couldn't have been more true - she is incredibly generous and an absolute joy to talk with. There is so much that I personally took away from this chat and I know that many of you will too.
