While Something To Talk About takes a break, we are revisiting some of the most emotional and revealing moments from the almost 50 guests who have joined us in conversation on this podcast over the past year.  The complex issue of becoming a parent, or the conscious decision not to, is at the heart of today's episode. We begin by revisiting our powerful conversation with influencer and cult brand co-founder Sarah Davidson, who shared her experience of pregnancy loss with Something To Talk About to break the taboo around speaking publicly about miscarriage - especially given Sarah found it impossible to find stories of other women who had experienced pregnancy loss but were yet to conceive again. After opening up about her heartache and grief after miscarrying last year when she and her husband Nick decided to start trying for a baby, Sarah and Nick have since shared a happy update with her followers - they are expecting a baby boy later this year.  This issue was also at the centre of my interview with British author and podcaster Elizabeth Day, who spoke with such candour that she moved many listeners to tears when detailing the anger, the grief - and ultimately, the acceptance - that she experienced when coming to terms with this chapter of her life. Having famously coined the term ‘fertility privilege', Elizabeth had many thought-provoking observations as to what we should and shouldn't share on social media when navigating baby news. And how can we support the people in our lives who have had that choice taken away from them?  With these conversations being brought to the fore more than ever before; as Michelle Andrews of the Shameless Media empire told Something To Talk About, the decisions regarding if and when to have children is her ‘Roman Empire'. At 29, Michelle explained how the dialogue around babies, pregnancy and pregnancy loss is not only the issue keeping her up at night, but occupying the minds of many of her generation. And what of those who have decided to be childfree, and yet are forced to contend with the judgement and unsolicited questions from others over that decision? Maria Thattil is one such woman, and as she told this podcast, the choice to raise a child shouldn't be made to fix something in your life or appease the people around you.  But for those who are equally certain they do want to have children, radio presenter Fifi Box has demonstrated that there are many different ways to create a family. As a single mother to two beautiful daughters, the youngest of whom was conceived via IVF, Fifi was incredibly generous in talking Something To Talk About's listeners through the highs and lows of that process.  A warning that today's episode touches on subject matter that could be triggering for some listeners.

In this episode of the Powerful Stories podcast, I share a beautiful conversation with Danni Carr from How I Quit Alcohol. Danni is a woman I greatly admire and have had the privilege to connect with through BODfest, the exciting min-fest of self-love which covers health topics including mental health, with the aim of nurturing and celebrating confidence in all of us.    I'm particularly excited about this conversation because I believe the issue we're discussing affects everyone, no matter their age, race, nationality, sexuality. At some point, we all have to deal with alcohol and our relationship with it.    Danni and I talk about why she decided to quit alcohol, and how it changed her life. Becoming sober helped her to become present and happy in her own skin, as she focused on prioritising herself and her happiness.    Today, this incredible woman has ditched the fake glow that can come from alcohol, and instead brightly shines her own light by coming from a place of beautiful authenticity. Danni has learnt to sit in her own uncomfortable feelings and feel them, rather than trying to escape them through alcohol.    I particularly love how Danni observes that alcohol takes you so far away from yourself, while sobriety brings you back. She shares that her evolution is still a work in progress, and that she's perfectly imperfect, but much more in her power these days. This is a woman who feels complete and happy in who she is, and she truly radiates this. Enjoy!   Much love,   Tory xox   [1:47] Danni started binge-drinking from the age of 13, and from early on linked fitting in and acceptance with drinking alcohol. In her 20s, she and her husband worked in the music industry so alcohol was everyone – both on weekends with friends but also at work. As she got older and began blacking out, and not remembering putting her kids to bed – the post-drinking anxiety and shame got too much. When she felt she couldn't look at herself in the mirror anymore, she knew it was time to make a big change.    [4:48] Danni and her husband Ash made a pact with friends to take 12 months off alcohol, and she felt this gave her the permission not to drink. After this, Danni realised she felt too good to start drinking again.   [7:08] Breaking the cycle happened when she told everyone around her. She talks about learning to get through parties without a drink and how much better she felt the next morning.    [9:17] If Danni met her younger self today, she would tell her to ‘just relax, and you'll be ok, you'll find your tribe, and you don't need to fit any mould just yet'. She says that when it's a problem, alcohol can be an attempt to escape discomfort we're feeling, whereas not drinking lets us meet what we're actually feeling inside, learning to be able to feel uncomfortable at times and know that's ok.    [11:21] Danni talks about how she performed on stage sober recently for the first time, and how she and her husband made their first year off drinking about self-improvement, working at their craft and mindset.   [13:44] Danni says the secret to how she kept up her sober life often involved ‘playing it forward' – asking herself how will she feel tomorrow? She also practices visualisations before attending an event where saying no might be tricky and asking herself, ‘What's the most loving thing I can do for myself right now?'.   [15:27] Danni says that after quitting alcohol for good, she sees the whole world differently, from appreciating the sunrise every morning when she does her meditation, to her connections with people, which have improved and become richer.    [17:51] She shares three Powerful Steps that listeners can take to quit alcohol, including adopting a gratitude mindset, exercising every day and visualising where you want to be.    [18:22] Danni;s legacy is to help people to see a different way of being, especially those who are in a place where they feel there's no way out. She says that change is always possible.   [22:59] Danni's next powerful step includes the new challenge of writing a book with her husband, and the continuing evolution of finding out who she is.      Bodfest is a mini -festival devoted to body positivity including inspiring talks with women like Vanessa, also Emily Ratajkowski, Maria Thattil, Moana Hope, Amy Sheppard, Isabella Manfredi and so many more.

Matt Defina is changing the lives of boys and men, at the cold face.  I don't need ti introduce him I just have to copy what's on their Website front page -We exist because suicide is the leading cause of death for men aged 15-44. It's not car crashes, drug overdoses or coward punches. The biggest killer of young men is themselves. Not only that, more than 1 woman dies every week at the hands of a man, and most of the time this is a man they're close with, someone they trust.After working with over 20,000 boys across the country, we fundamentally believe that these statistics are preventable through early intervention programs that focus on boys strengths, rather than their deficits.Using evidence-based workshops and expert facilitation, our programs provide boys with the critical emotional and social skills they need to lead flourishing lives for themselves, their relationships and their communities.Our vision is to create a world in which every young man has healthy relationships, reaches his full potential and contributes to his community.Need I say anymore.  You'll love this podcastWho are you and what is man caveWhat are the biggest issues you see in men and boys What's wrong with how we've been brought upWhy do men have issues with connecting emotionally and sexually in relationshipsIs masculinity actually toxicThings men can do to improve their lives For more resources follow the below links:Man Cave Academy - For adults or educators that want to train with us on how to better engage boys - https://academy.themancave.life/homeOur personal hygiene brand for men that represents healthy masculinity (TMC is a majority shareholder and for every $1000 in sales, they fund a boy through a TMC program) - https://websiteofstuff.com/Outside the Cave Podcast - this explores edgy conversations with well known public figures around masculinity, gender and mental health (our first 2 guests have been Harry Garside and Maria Thattil) - https://open.spotify.com/show/7retfgYSzkk2Fd1vesUQ6W?si=0Rq_lurxQb6hvMosjyD9Nw&dl_branch=1Inside the Cave Podcast - want to know more about what's happening inside The Man Cave and how we're building as an organisation?

Maria Thattil joins us this episode, she's a speaker, writer, advocate, and ... Miss Universe Australia. Maria doesn't mirror the 'blonde beach waves' bombshell Australian stereotype - she's Indian-Australian, with darker skin and she wouldn't meet the height requirements in many countries for Miss Universe. She's changed the game in beauty - why SHOULD her height or skin colour stop her from being a role model to young Australians? It was a pleasure to listen and learn from her and I hope you enjoy it too. PS. I made her cry and I think I'm ready to retire now xx *This episode is sponsored by Niyam Wellness, a newly launched luxury hair and skincare brand primed to refresh the skin, hair and spirits of Australia's beauty mavens. Niyam offers a blend of traditional Indian alchemy with modern science; redefining 'wellness' for so many Aussies. Find them at niyam-wellness.com or @niyamwellness on Instagram*

RE-RELEASE // I know I yak on about it all the time but the weirdest thing about making this show is not being able to reach out to you at the time you're actually listening, so sometimes bringing you yay the best way possible is a bit of guesswork. I've been noticing people posting about episodes with a longer lag time from its release than usual, and while I originally thought lockdowns meant more time to listen to podcasts, I've noticed for myself at least without travelling in the car all the time I'm listening less. Ini that light, dropping two episodes this year instead of one each week might be bombarding you a bit! So, for a few #yaysofourlives slots I'm going to re-share some episodes that you may have missed to let some of you catch up (but as always, if I'm totally wrong, please DM me right now to let me know!) +++++++++++++++++++++++++ I'm so thrilled to have the incredible Maria Thattil joining for #yaysofourlives this week who you may also know as Miss Universe Australia 2021. Once you listen, I'm sure you'll agree with my quote of the yay for this episode from Ralph Waldo Emerson - "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment," which Maria is doing so bloody well. Freshly returned from doing our country proud at the global Miss Universe competition in the USA, Maria making the TOP 10 worldwide felt like the perfect yayborhood watch story to dive into. If you have any misconceptions about the pageant, its potential as a platform for impact or Maria's hopes and dreams in entering, prepare to have them blown out of the water by this incredibly articulate, humble and passionate woman. As the shortest woman in the competition at 5”3 and only the 3rd woman of colour to represent our multicultural nation in this international competition in 7 decades, Maria is shattering ceilings and breaking down traditional beauty standards helping redefine what it means to be Australian. She has such powerful messages about identity, self-belief in the face of critics, the power of positivity and so much more. I left this conversation filled with SO inspiration, hope, passion and lightness – she is the breath of fresh air we all need. I think it's safe to say this is just the beginning for Maria, we have an irrepressible change maker on our hands and I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Maria Thattil is a writer, model, influencer, entrepreneur, and Miss Universe Australia.It's a serious resume, but if anyone is up to the challenge, it's Maria. We spoke with her about how she's using her platform to create change, and just how she manages to balance all of those spinning plates.

It's not every day that you get to speak with Miss Universe Australia, but, lucky for us today is the day. Where's the link between Miss Universe & a parenting podcast I hear you say?!?! Well, I'm glad you asked. Today we welcome Miss Universe Australia 2020 Maria Thattil, who will be Australia's national entrant in the Miss Universe pageant which is aiming to take place in May. Maria is a writer & speaker & the creator of Mind With Me – an empowerment series on Instagram which inspires women, men & young people to be confident & live their best lives. An incredible woman & advocate for inclusion committed to using her voice & platform to drive the pursuit of progress. As an Australian of Indian heritage, Maria has experienced racism throughout her childhood. Today she shares her life experiences & thoughts on 'How to teach your kids to be respectful of others when it comes to race. We ask Maria questions including: What does it feel like to be a victim of racism? Do you feel there has been a shift in consciousness since your childhood experiences towards the society becoming more accepting - or not? What is the most sensitive way for a child to ask another child what their background is? What is the right language to use & questions to ask? Are the use of the right words & tone of your voice the difference between making someone feel foreign & exhibiting genuine curiosity? Do you think it's important for parents to provide children exposure through curricular activities & cross-race friendships can help decrease prejudice? How old do you think children should be to discuss racism in society? Why is it important to talk to your children about race early? What should a parent do if they don't feel equipped to have race related conversations with their children? How can parents demonstrate good role modelling?   For Maria's full article: https://kiddipedia.com.au/how-to-talk-to-your-child-about-racism/ For further details: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/mindwithme/?hl=en See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
