In the last week of February 1927, Sydneysiders could go to the Crystal Palace Theatre to see Australia's very own ‘Queen' – the winner of the first Miss Australia pageant. Not only would she appear in her costumes, she'd tell of her adventures going to Atlantic City to ‘challenge' Miss America. Soon she'd take her show all across Australia. In the background, newspaper mogul-in-the-making R.C. Packer was pulling the strings and pocketing the profits that'd establish a mighty media empire. But Miss Australia was more than a pretty face – and she'd use her smarts like a modern-day influencer.For a free trial that will give you access to ad-free, early and bonus episodes:Patreon: patreon.com/forgottenaustraliaApple: apple.co/forgottenaustraliaTo buy They'll Never Hold Me:https://www.booktopia.com.au/they-ll-never-hold-me-michael-adams/book/9781923046474.htmlThe Murder Squad:https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-murder-squad-michael-adams/book/9781923046504.htmlHanging Ned Kelly:https://www.booktopia.com.au/hanging-ned-kelly-michael-adams/book/9781922992185.htmlAustralia's Sweetheart:https://www.booktopia.com.au/australia-s-sweetheart-michael-adams/book/9780733640292.htmlEmail: forgottenaustraliapodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode, I am sitting down with Tracy Secombe. Tracy is an entrepreneur, personal development coach, a former Miss Australia and author of the book “From People Pleaser to Soul Pleaser” . Tracy grew up as a people pleaser, which had a massive impact on her life and her wellbeing. When her Mum passed away in 2016, she vowed to change, putting her three businesses at the time on the backburner to prioritising herself and her family. In this episode we discuss what a people pleaser is, the different types of people pleasers, the negative impacts of being a people pleasing leader, how to discourage people pleasing in the workplace and strategies to overcome your own people pleasing tendencies. If you have ever found yourself people pleasing, putting other peoples needs and wants ahead of your own, then this conversation is for you!  Get in touch with Tracy: www.tracysecombe.com.au.

Hoy en Rumbo a Miss Universo, conocimos a Miss Panamá, Natasha Vargas y Moraya Wilson, Miss Australia.

In this episode of the Humans of Agriculture podcast, host Oli Le Lievre sits down with guest Leila McDougall. Leila shares her unique journey from a small town called Walcha in New England to her involvement in various creative pursuits, including being Miss Australia, acting, producing, and writing. Leila reflects on her unconventional resume, attributing it to her love for creativity and the interconnectedness of different skills. As the discussion delves into agriculture, Leila explains how her fascination with fashion stemmed from the Australian wool Fashion Awards and her family's involvement in the wool industry. Growing up on a farm, Leila cherishes her early memories and highlights her parents' hard work and determination to fulfill their dream of owning land. She acknowledges her mother's active role in farming, breaking stereotypes and proving that women can excel in the field. Leila opens up about being severely dyslexic, which posed challenges throughout her academic and professional journey. She shares her experience of learning differently, developing a photographic memory, and finding creative ways to overcome her dyslexia. Leila discusses her passion for fashion design and her struggle to enter the industry due to the competitive nature of the field. However, she found an opportunity through the Australian wool Fashion Awards, winning a scholarship that paved the way for her career in fashion. The conversation also touches upon the issue of dyslexia in agriculture, with Leila recounting a story that highlights the challenges faced by dyslexic individuals in communication and the lengths they go to overcome them. Leila's story is inspiring, showcasing resilience, creativity, and the power to turn obstacles into opportunities.

This week Di & Nicola chat with Australian music and entertainment royalty, Lizzi Morrissey. Lizzi started out as a dancer, a former Miss Australia contestant, and in the late 70s she began working in the music industry alongside artists such as Paul Kelly, Split Enz, Jimmy Barnes and Joe Cocker. Lizzi then trained as an actor, performing in theatre and musicals, but her career took a turn when she met her husband, talent agent Mark Morrissey and joined his business. Lizzi went on to nurture the careers of some of the biggest Australian stars. Lizzi also has a gift for PR and organising events and she now runs her own creative management and public relations company, MissusM Creative. Lizzi is a mum to 2 beautiful daughters and a wonderful friend to many, including Di and Nicola.  In this chat, Lizzi talks about what it was like working in the music industry in the 70s and 80s and how she started organising gigs all the way back in her high school days. We hear the story of a fundraising event that Lizzi organised as a teen that went wrong, but how her work ethic and ambition ultimately turned it around and led to her first real job offer.  Lizzi's career journey is incredibly interesting and inspiring, and we hear all about the twists and turns along the way, the gift Lizzi had for bringing a sense of family and community to Morrissey Management and how she's bringing her unique PR with a heart to her new business, MissusM Creative. Lizzi also does a lot for charity and she shares what it was like doing a 21 day walk along the Great Wall of China, raising money for Olivia Newton-John's Wellness & Research Centre with the likes of Cliff Richard, Joan Rivers, Layne Beachley, Kirk Pengilly, Ian Thorpe, James Reyne, Scott Wolf and of course, Olivia herself.  This special episode is dedicated to Lizzi's dad - the extraordinary Charlie Dayney.  Follow Lizzi: @lizzidayneymorrissey Follow MissusM Creative: @missusmcreativeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LIVE interview with Denika Donnelly: Miss Australia Pageants National Finalist 2021

Tracy Secombe is an entrepreneur, personal development coach, mentor and former Miss Australia. She inherited the entrepreneurial spirit from her father and has run her own businesses since she was 18 years old.   However, in 2016 when Tracy's beloved mother passed away, she was reminded of the importance of making time for herself and her family and consolidated the three businesses that she was running at the time into launching her current business, Soul Pleaser.   In this episode we discuss the way people pleasing can show up for us; why we can struggle with indecision; how to combat the tendency to say ‘yes' to everyone even when it is to our own detriment; why Tracy now puts herself first and believes you should too; and how to lean into listening to and pleasing our souls… rather than other people.   CONNECT WITH TRACY SECOMBE: https://www.tracysecombe.com.au/ https://www.facebook.com/soulpleaser/ https://www.instagram.com/soul.pleaser/   CONNECT WITH ME: Take my Instagram Personality Quiz: https://emilyosmond.com/superpower Join my free Instagram Strategy Class: https://emilyosmond.com/free Waitlist for The Modern Marketing Collective: https://emilyosmond.com/join Website: https://emilyosmond.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emilyosmond/

Everyone is told to find a 'work-life' balance, however Tamara Loehr doesn't think this is healthy. As a successful entrepreneur, wife, mother, boss, and active global citizen she realized that balance was impossible. Instead she is blazing a new way by creating the blend of work and life. This has freed her up to become at all of them. Removing the barriers and segmentation in life has opened new possibilities of creativity. In today's episode we talk about this new blend, creativity, being an entrepreneur, building businesses that give back, building an impactful life, defining your values, and finding your freedom.Today's episode is sponsored by:Penji - Use code 'JUMBLE' to get 15% off your first month of unlimited graphic design.OpportunityInChina.comAbout Tamara LoehrEntrepreneur and creative powerhouse Tamara Loehr has spent her life making disruptive change for good by ‘doing the opposite’. Now she’s encouraging other women to leverage their personal power for global impact.  Born in Australia into a third-generation mining family, Tamara was raised in a mining town of less than 10,000 people: a culture of hard work and moderate aspirations. She was an artistic, nature-loving free spirit: catching tadpoles, dancing, singing, drawing and dreaming.While her classmates expected to follow their parents into the mines and marriage, Tamara longed for different challenges. As a teenager, she spent long hours in her room writing songs, started a band and performed locally. She was an enthusiastic fundraiser and school council president, later competing in Miss Australia and winning the title of ‘Miss Fundraiser.’ This was when she first realized that she had a talent for making money—and the impact she could create by using that talent for the good of others.Her high school results would have won her place studying Law at university, but she ‘did the opposite’ (to the horror of her parents) and pursued Fine Arts majoring in Illustration, with a minor in Marketing. Graduating with top marks, she was snapped up by a Gold Coast marketing agency as a graphic designer. Less than one year in the job, she realized she loved the work but hated the ego-driven, male-dominated industry. This pushed her to start her own digital marketing agency with a different approach, Mitara Empresa, which she still owns over twenty years later.Inspired by reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Tamara started asset-building in her early twenties. She lived on vegemite and toast to save up the deposit for her first investment property, a site overlooking the river and city where she later built a block of units. While Mitara skyrocketed into the top 2% of marketing agencies in the country, Tamara continued songwriting and worked on projects around the world as an indie writer and recording artist. Performing under the stage name ‘Claire’, Tamara kept her parallel career separate from her marketing clients, who often assumed that the singer they saw on TV and performing at football games was Tamara’s sister! Heading up her own agency gave Tamara the flexibility to go on six-week overseas writing tours while the business remained running under her team. This is when Tamara first started blending: business, travel and music.Retiring from music at 30, Tamara was on her final tour when she met her husband during a stopover in London. He moved to Australia, and when their first child was born he chose to become a stay-at-home father. With her husband delighted to ‘do the opposite’ with roles in their family life, Tamara was able to continue as a passionate entrepreneur and the family breadwinner.She refocused her energy and ambitions on business, getting her first business coach. In 2015 she joined Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) and found her tribe. With her typical drive and natural leadership, she became the president of her chapter in only her third year of membership. Through EO she learned about the ‘sweat equity’ model of business and started her first venture in the wellness space, growing a business from under $1M annual turnover to over $10M in less than two years with no capital investment—an astonishing achievement for a first-time investor.Hungry for more, Tamara was accepted to the Entrepreneurs Masters Program (a.k.a. ‘The Birthing of Giants’) at MIT in Boston, where she completed a three-year course with fellow entrepreneurs from around the world. Here she focused on defining her values, establishing her mandate and creating her legacy project. Jeff Hoffman (guest lecturer at EMP, founder of Priceline.com and advocate of ‘Business for Good’, regularly representing entrepreneurs at the UN) agreed to mentor Tamara to transition into her next growth phase: global impact. Feeling limited by the model and partners from her Australia-based business, Tamara sold out and moved on to expand her investment in ethical wellness, through capital raising and breaking into the United States market. With her instinct for picking brands that elevate the industry, Tamara invested in a gut health functional snack food company called Gutsii, and premium vegan haircare brand Hot Tresses. Within 12 months of launching Hot Tresses in the States, the products were available at a range of premium outlets such as Nordstrom and Hudson Bay and featured on QVC’s Beauty IQ. Gutsii was launched more recently and has also achieved amazing results out of the gate, picking up 600 stores in six weeks from launch date and being available in-store in four countries.Forever determined to ‘do the opposite’, Tamara has set her sights on disrupting the beauty industry with her Dollar Beauty Tribe. Tamara believes the purchasing power of consumers in the beauty industry can abolish animal testing, set a new ethical standard for beauty brands and positively impact the world. In 2018, Tamara was accepted into the Young Presidents Organisation (YPO), becoming one of 25,000+ global members turning over an average of $45M across their businesses. Sadly, only approximately 10% of members are female, a disconnect from the fact that 40% of households in the States are now supported by a female breadwinner. This revelation prompted Tamara to write a book to empower female breadwinners to play a bigger game in business, titled Balance is B.S. In the book, Tamara shares her personal formula for building a work/life blend (not balance!) in order to scale your business without burning out.The book also addresses the recurring issues women (and many men) face as entrepreneurs: the reality of losing more than we win, the need to take a stand against bad behaviour in business, and misconceptions around having to ‘compromise’ as a working parent.A major share of Tamara’s profits from the book are being donated to Buy1Give1. For every 200 books sold, a business loan will be provided to a female in a developing country. From a frustrated creative spirit in small-town rural Australia, to the leader of a global tribe of beauty influencers, Tamara’s passions and priorities have remained the same: “Doing the opposite”, disrupting old patterns to create positive change, and leading other passionate people to create a legacy that changes the world.

I like genuine people who can laugh at themselves and come with a side of quirky. That's why I was excited to get a chance to interview Ruby Adamson. Philanthropy and charity are supposed to be at the heart of pageantry, but there are many who only pay it lip service. One look at Ruby's social media and you'll be able to tell immediately that doesn't apply to her. She is a constant advocate for Down Syndrome awareness, loves gaming and has a serious sloth addiction. What's not to love?

I initially met Rachel Gallagher through the Miss Australia Continents pageant in 2018, her first ever pageant experience. What caught my attention was actually her field of study: female leadership, obviously a topic that's close to my heart. Whilst she's finishing off her thesis in that area, Rachel is also busy promoting her Irish heritage through her dancing and the Crookwell Festival, blogging on Sister Confidence and quickly finding her feet in the modelling arena.

Maddy May has definitely been through her fair share of tough times. And then some. I've always said adversity builds character. People who have depth rarely achieve it easily. The thing that struck me most about Maddy was that she was able to retell the stories of the ordeals she had been through without getting choked up, and to me that means she's truly been able to overcome them.

Caroline Pemberton was crowned Miss Australia in 2007 at the age of 21. You might assume she grew up dancing, modelling and competing in pageants, only to discover outdoor adventure later in life — but nothing could be further from the truth. A self-proclaimed “goofy tomboy girl with messy hair”, Caroline grew up with two older, outdoorsy brothers and spend most of her childhood chasing them around and trying to keep up. At 19, Caroline accompanied her brother to Everest Base Camp which experience changed the trajectory of her life. These days, Caroline has launched the brand Miss Adventure is on a mission to empower young girls to realise how strong and brave they are, and what their bodies are capable of doing, before the storm of adolescence kicks in (and the pressure on what you look like, more than what you can do, intensifies).

Australian Television Presenter & Producer, Adventure Addict and once upon a time Miss Australia tells us a wild story about how she helped her brother become the youngest Australian to climb Mt. Everest in 2005. Facebook Twitter   Instagram The Outdoor Biz Podcast   Please give us a rating and review HERE   Show Notes Australian Television Presenter & Producer, Adventure Addict and once upon a time Miss Australia tells us a wild story about how she helped her brother become the youngest Australian to climb Mt. Everest in 2005. First Exposure to the Outdoors Oh I grew up in a very outdoorsy family and I have two older brothers too. You know the boys and I were always outside. I think in the 70s so it was definitely something that my parents put in the milk and we were always outside doing things growing up in Sydney in Australia. Its beautiful down here, incredible climate, so it's just a natural thing today. And then my first real adventure was actually when my brother came to my parents over dinner one night and said "I'm going to be the youngest trying to climb Mt. Everest." He had no mountaineering experience. I mean we live in a flat country. My parents to their credit said "well if you believe in that dream then how are you going to make it happen?" And as a young man he made it happen and I said to him age 19, well I'm going to help you. I've just finished school was between school and college. I put myself on a plane and at 19 spent three months living in Nepal and six weeks at base camp. That was my first real experience of adventure travel. Everything stems back to that trip. Things we talked about UnPlugged Project Advice, tips I think that authenticity of an experience, we really want to go out and hang out with people and to be part of their lives. So I think authenticity and experiential travel will be where it's at. I'm an ethical sustainable traveler as well. I think world is becoming far more conscious of our impact. So how can you know if you're going to get on a plane and travel how can you give back in a different way? How can you be sustainable? How can you leave footprints and nothing else and take away your memories but nothing else? I think people are becoming more and more educated. I think providing that service of sustainability will be rewarded for ethical environmentally sustainable travel. I definitely will pay extra for that. Other Outdoor Activities Surfing, Bungee Jumping Favorite Books Yeah I like books so it's really hard to me to pick a favorite book because I spend hours in a bookstore. I hope that they never disappear from our planet. I think we can learn an awful awful lot from books but I don't have a favorite.

A new film has been released worldwide on National Geographic featuring Christophe Barriere-Varju from Multi-Award Winning film Dream Racer, and former Miss Australia and Miss Universe Australia, Laura Csortan. Two adventure bikers take on the journey of a lifetime travelling through Morocco, North Africa, on the trail of the ultimate biking challenge, the Dakar Rally. One rider, Christophe Barriere-Varju, has competed in the Dakar Rally four times. The other, Laura Csortan, has never set a wheel off road before.

Christophe will be sharing his knowledge of what it takes to be an off-road adventurer whilst Laura will be pushing her biking skills to the limits and experiencing a journey like never before.
