In this milestone episode of The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey dive into Steven Soderbergh's latest psychological thriller, Presence. Unlike traditional haunted house films, Presence is told entirely from the ghost's perspective, offering a fresh and unsettling look at a family's unravelling life inside their new home.Starring Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, and Eddy Maday, the film follows a family of four as they move into a house that already has an unseen resident. As tensions rise and the family's hidden struggles come to light, the ghost observes - and occasionally interacts - leading to a shocking final act. Jamie and Corrina discuss the film's unique cinematography, eerie atmosphere, and whether it leans more towards horror, mystery, or pure drama.Episode Highlights:First impressions of Presence and its experimental storytellingLucy Liu's powerful but unlikable role as the overbearing motherThe ghost as a silent character & Soderbergh's unique filming techniquesThe film's slow-burn pacing and psychological depthThe jaw-dropping finale and what it reveals about the ghost's identityFinal ratings - does Presence succeed as a supernatural thriller?This episode is perfect for fans of slow-burn psychological thrillers that challenge traditional storytelling.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Working mothers are expected to work like they don't have kids, and parent like they don't have jobs. Balancing it all can be exhausting, and trying to live up to the unrealistic expectations can leave moms feeling defeated when they feel like they are failing in both areas of their lives. This week, I'm joined by executive coach Leanna Laskey McGrath to explore the identity shifts and pressures faced by high-achieving women once they become mothers, and what we can do to make working motherhood work. In the episode, Leanna and I talk about:The identity shift that happens when career-focused women have kidsSocietal expecations for moms to work like they don't have kids and raise their children like they don't have jobsHow workplaces are changing, and what we expect for future generationsAdjusting our expectations of what it means to be a career-oriented motherThe skills mothers bring to leadership rolesA little about our guest:Leanna Laskey McGrath is a former tech executive turned full time mom, recovering perfectionist and workaholic, and certified executive coach. As a high achieving, ambitious, Type A woman in a male-dominated field, Leanna spent her career building her identity and value around her work ethic. When she became a mom,  she brought her all-or-nothing approach to parenting too, and started feeling like she was failing at everything.  She began a journey of self discovery and eventually made the decision to step away from her company. As a coach, she now helps women break free of the inertia of their lives and the weight of other people's expectations to enjoy this one and only precious life we've been given.To connect with Leanna, follow her on LinkedIn and Instagram @execcoachleanna.

Momma Cindy has always represented what's good in the world, and I believe I wouldn't be doing this career if it weren't for her. In this week's episode: Get to meet my mom and better understand our relationshipWhat it was like growing up with a single, handicap motherThe core pillars that defined her parenting, and her advice to other parents, soon-to-be parents, and the "one day" parents (trust me, I turned out pretty good, so she must have something right)What's a butterfly year and why 2024 is oursMy mom's big time physical transformationTapping into your light Reflecting on 2023 and what's to come This episode is very special to me, as I am so lucky that I have a mother who supports me in this wild adventure.

Today we welcome our incredible Sponsor and one of the co-founders of Active Truth. We are such HUGE fans of this company and have both lived in the maternity tights before and after birth. So, we are humbled to chat to Nadia Tucker, who moved to Brisbane on the same day in 2011 and as new her neighbor Stevie (sounds like destiny) and they quickly became friends over baby playdates and long pram walks in search of coffee. Together, they navigated returning to exercise after having their babies and the many changes that their bodies experienced over this time. They were frustrated with buying activewear online and receiving products that looked beautiful on models but didn't perform in real-life on bodies without model proportions, so they decided to take matters into their own hands. This was a common theme when talking with friends and family. So, they set out to create a brand that not only serviced the activewear needs of women, but celebrated them too!Active Truth is committed to showing a diverse range of women wearing their activewear. They want women to look at Active Truth and see someone like themselves – happy, active, looking and feeling amazing in their activewear. They refuse to photoshop their models and continue to challenge stereotypes and bias around body image which we love. Active Truth are proud to work with organisations that support women through their partnerships with Share the Dignity, Body Image Movement, and a number of smaller female-led, or female-focused, charities. We talk about:Pumping and BIG boobiesStarting the business  in the living room and sleeping in swags etc.How the 4th Trimester was for Nadia and the challenges that she overcameHow far the business has come and her fave pair of tightsWhat the idea of 'success' means to Nadia and a Businesswoman and MotherThe power of word of mouth and reviews and Mothers sharing the loveThe Most beautiful and Challenging aspects of MotherhoodAdvice to any parent starting a businessMotherhood in 3 words and MORE!This episode is brought to you by Active Truth who Soph and I absolutely LOVE.

Coach D (Daphne) and Runner V (Vanessa) are on the show this week, talking about listening to your body and insider tips for the Athens Marathon. Daphne is one of my supporters who has helped me with my fitness at a time when I was trying to do things the old way. Although not a professional trainer, she had a lot of knowledge about how the body works through a transformation journey. More than that she had empathy for that transition stage and showed me that I hadn't taken into account what happens to your muscles when you have had something major happen to your body. Listening to your body, but understanding your journey. We expand our discussion from cancer and exercise to dig into and explore the role of exercise for Daphne as well who is a busy mother of two, working in start-ups and entrepreneurial roles that are as fast paced as her kids. Daphne is Greek and Vanessa shares the plan hatched with Julia to run Athens and we find out all about it as Daphne has already done it. We also discuss “encouraging” Daphne into running Athens again. Hoping she can join Julia and I and we can create an #outruncancer potential group run in Athens in November 2022! Who's coming with us?If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway. Take a screenshot of yourself listening to the episode on your device, post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag me @voicesofcancer.In this episode you'll hear:How Daphne appeared in the gym just when Vanessa needed someone to ask for guidance on her fitness journey after her mastectomyWhy Daphnes refuses to run with her husband and what exercise does for her as a busy working motherThe importance of working with where your body is now, rather than what you used to be able to do in your fitness journeyWhat is it really like to run the Athens marathon, will Vanessa, Daphne and Julia be there in November 2022?About Daphne:Exercise fanatic, CEO, life coach, start-up mentor, angel investor, cook, world traveler. Daphne is a passionate Greek who is always musing “Yes, and what if?” Her two law degrees cemented a lifetime need for rigor and a belief in the need for continual improvement. This has led her to join innovative, disruptive, and growth-hungry teams and organizations that look to apply advances in science and technology to new, never-tried-before industries. She's had a squiggly career (read more here) that's seen her delve into the world of banking, neuroscience, digital strategy, machine learning and AI, e-commerce, and angel investing. She is a keen surfer and fan of achieving mental and physical balance. She is a kick ass wellness coach to many that have leaned on her talent to make you feel positive about your body and the potential you have within.

You know those people who just push your buttons?Those situations that make you so angry and frustrated or leave you feeling hurt.Your sibling who complains about everything  Your arrogant co-worker or opinionated neighbourYour controlling motherThe guy who cut you off on the way to workWe all get triggered. And let me tell you, friend... that is a GOOD thing.This episode is all about why getting triggered is so important. It's a sign that something within YOU needs to be dealt with. We think those things that trigger us are annoying problems that need to go away. But if you let them, all of those people and situations just help you go deeper into yourself and do the work and become a better person.A more kind personA more compassionate personSomeone who is patient and manages conflict wellIf you have “toxic” people in your life, they are here to MAKE you, not break you.In this episode, I talk about looking within to find the insecurity that's causing you to get triggered, that it's our choice if we allow people to offend us.I talk about the role of our ego, taking responsibility and the massive opportunity you have when you start paying attention to what's going on inside. Do you have “toxic” people in your life?They're actually helping you.

On today's episode, Duane talks with Charlie Gray about his journey of hope and resiliency through his toxic relationship with vodka and the one thing that allowed him to stay sober.In his memoir, At Least I'm Not The Frog: A Zany Memoir of Alcoholism & Recovery, Charlie Gray tells his story of being a recovering alcoholic sharing his experience of addiction, relapse, and recovery.Living as a high-functioning alcoholic for 11 years, his plan was to keep his job, make some good money, and just drink his way through. This went on until, physically, he could no longer do so. The way he puts it is, “You can only drink a gallon and a half of vodka every day or so for so long before even a young man's body begins to shut down.” The root cause behind such a behavior was his early childhood trauma from losing his mother. He was so focused on creating a life of purpose in honor of his mother that he never dreamed addiction would be something on the table for him. But then began 11 years of a toxic relationship with vodka.Charlie attended a number of treatment centers across the country. Over the years, he had gathered all of the tools necessary for recovery. He was receptive to advice on what to do to better himself; he just didn't implement it. However, when the body says no more and your pain is too great, there comes a point when you decide to do something. One day, Charlie just woke up ready to receive the love and the message from his higher power that if he would just spend a little time trying the practices he had learned through those years, he would stay sober. And so, that's what he did.In this episode, you will hear:Dealing with the loss of a motherThe brain as a powerful tool for copingThe huge disconnect between the heart and the headCharlie's decision to use the tools he learned to stay soberA daily struggle to not succumb to the cravingHow writing has helped him recoverKey Quotes:[04:36] - “I was so focused on creating a life of purpose in honor of my mother that I never dreamed that addiction would be something on the table for me.”[05:54] - “Your brain is such a powerful tool without you knowing it."[09:47] - “Thinking that you can control it – that's another great example of how clever our minds can be and the rationale they can create when you have proven 1000 times that you cannot control it.”[12:39] - “You can only drink a gallon and a half of vodka every day or so, for so long before even a young man's body begins to shut down."[20:38] - "It really wasn't until about a month or two after I'd been sober, that I began writing, and that is how I was able to stay sober through the rest of the pandemic.” [24:14] - “A lot of terrible things have happened to me. But I overcame them and I'm not the frog.”[32:57] - "Keep trying that even when it feels like you're never going to find your identity or you're never going to find your sobriety, it is out there."Subscribe and ReviewHave you subscribed to our podcast?
