My father first locked eyes on my mother at a party in London. Next he gate-crashed a second party, then organized a third, just to see her again. Finally, he asked Mum out for a country drive, picking her up in his old Rover sedan—his treasured possession. Mum and dad became sweethearts, but there was a problem. Mum was about to move to Peru to become a missionary. Dad took her to the airport, then five months later arrived in Peru himself—to propose to her. And the best part of the story? He’d sold his beloved Rover to pay for the plane ticket. If you would’ve asked Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, what her most treasured possession was, she’d have shown you a precious bottle of “expensive perfume” (John 12:3). And if you’d have been at the party she and Martha threw for Jesus (v. 2) and watched her lavish that bottle’s contents on his feet, you’d have known just what Jesus meant to her. He was that precious, that valuable. For my mother, Dad selling his car wasn’t just about a plane ticket. It was a sign of how much he valued her. And Mary’s actions had deeper meaning too—she was preparing Jesus for His burial (v. 7). Like her, when we sacrifice for God what we treasure most, we take part in His redemptive work by echoing His great sacrifice for us.

In this today's episode, Ang shares a deeply personal update about transitioning from a long phase of single motherhood to exploring new relationships and the challenges that come with vulnerability. She highlights the importance of asking the hard questions early in relationships to understand true compatibility beyond chemistry. Drawing from her own experiences and attachment style insights, Anang encourages listeners to navigate relationships with honesty, openness, and emotional intelligence. She discusses over 20 essential questions that help uncover values, deal breakers, and life visions, which are crucial to building a lasting partnership. The episode also emphasizes communication as the foundation for avoiding future heartache and fostering trust. (00:00) Introduction and Welcome (00:31) Personal Update: New Beginnings (01:16) The Importance of Vulnerability (02:38) Asking the Hard Questions in Relationships (06:52) Foundational Questions for Compatibility (08:52) Diving Deeper: Life Goals and Responsibilities (11:34) Values and Hypotheticals (20:34) The Courageous Conversation Checklist (21:47) Conclusion and Next Steps KEY TAKEAWAYS Vulnerability and open communication early in relationships set the tone for emotional intimacy and trust. Asking hard, sometimes uncomfortable questions reveals core values and prevents future regrets. Compatibility is about aligned values, shared life goals, and handling challenges together—not just chemistry. Conversation about topics like commitment, finances, children, and boundaries helps build realistic expectations. BEST MOMENTS "Love isn't built on chemistry alone; it's built on compatibility." "When you ask the brave questions, you attract brave answers." "If they shut down every time you want them to open up, is that something you can live with for the rest of your life?" "You are not being difficult for wanting to know where you stand—you are being wise."

In this first Delirious W.E.S.T. 2026 check-in, I catch up with the ever-authentic Eve Knudson, who's been navigating a wild few weeks of recovery, work chaos, house renovations, and life as a mum — all while keeping her running spirit alive. Eve opens up about bouncing back from illness, rediscovering how good running feels after a break, and the tricky balance between being kind to yourself and knowing when to push through. We chat about early alarms, laying out your running clothes to remove resistance, and the power of “permission runs” — heading out for 200 metres and turning back if it's just not the day. From booking accommodation for the big race (thanks, Mum and Dad!) to the importance of routine when life's a little scattered, this episode is equal parts relatable, hilarious, and grounded in real-world running wisdom. Oh, and yes — Eve might just have set her PBs after a bottle of red wine.

Lauren Bullen has been forced to publicly defend herself following a road rage incident in Bali. The OG travel influencer better known by her handle, Gypsea Lust, was involved in an altercation with a local man, after she accidentally drove down a one-way street on the Indonesian Island. The driver was left so disgruntled from the exchange, he went public with the story on his own social media channels. It appears Veruca Salt and her new husband have kissed and made up following their recent public spat. The Aussie TikTok shocked her followers earlier this month, when she announced she married a man in Vegas she had only known for two weeks. On Monday, it seemed like the relationship was over as quickly as it had begun, when the new Mr. Salt revealed his wife had already blocked him on social media. Laura Henshaw has jumped on the baby test trend, where women cuddle with their husband and then spit up milk on them. Kris Jenner has celebrated her 70th birthday with a star studded event held at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Beverley Hills mansion. Content creator Rosin Tarrant, better known by her handle Geebungalow, has been accused of copying a slogan t-shirt produced by small clothing brand ‘Stitch Nest.’ Sophie Jayne Miller has been busy signing copies of her new cook book ‘Simply Scrumptious.’ In August, the Gold Coast influencer topped Booktopia’s charts, based on just the pre-sale alone. UK influencer, Zoe Rae, has finally moved into her new home that she shares with her husband, Danny.

This week on The Netmums Podcast, Wendy Golledge and Alison Perry are joined by the remarkable Dame Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand and author of the memoir A Different Kind of Power. In this episode, Jacinda shares her unique experiences of balancing motherhood with the demands of leading a country, and parenting while in the public eye. Jacinda opens up about the emotional juggle of early motherhood, the challenges of maternity leave, and the guilt that often accompanies working parents. She discusses her new picture book, Mum's Busy Work, which addresses the struggles parents face in managing work and family life, and how to communicate these challenges to children. In this episode: The realities of being a working mother in a high-profile role Managing ‘Mum guilt' and expectations as a parent The importance of sharing the parental load between partners How to maintain values and kindness in parenting Advice for new parents returning to work after maternity leave Jacinda's book, Mum's Busy Work, is an inspiring and heartwarming book about the relationship between a working mum and her daughter.

Dame Jacinda Ardern is the former prime minister of New Zealand, who was elected in 2017 and in post for 6 years.In 2018 she became the second elected World leader to ever give birth. Her partner Clarke (often referred to as 'first bloke'!) frequently took on the role of stay-at-home dad. Together they took baby Neve with them to many important meetings, including the UN summit in New York in 2018, while she was still breastfeeding. Jacinda told me she felt she needed to prove she could lead the country despite being a mother... and also show the world she was a mother, in order to be a positive role model. Jacinda and I talked about the fascinating and intimate documentary ‘Prime Minister' which will have its UK release on December 5th, in which we get to see behind the scenes both in government, and at home through videos shot by Clarke. It really brings a humanity to the role of leadership and this insight makes Jacinda's style of leadership all the more impressive, modern and inspirational. Jacinda really wanted to reiterate that she was lucky enough to have support, that she never did anything alone, and that we should not expect women to do everything on their own: ‘Yes, we can be wonder woman… but even wonder woman deserves a sidekick.' She now still remains dedicated to helping encourage leaders to highlight their humantity by teaching empathetic leadership. Special shoutout to her gorgeous children's book, Mum's Busy Work. It's so sweet to see a lovely picture book for young kids where the mum works hard, yes, but it doesn't mean she's any less dedicated to motherhood. Cheers to that!

Listen to this episode if... You're newly separated and trying to figure out parenting arrangements. You don't have court orders yet and things are already getting tense. Your ex is unreliable, manipulative, or emotionally unpredictable. You're feeling pressured to agree to arrangements that feel unsafe or unfair. You want to avoid court but don't want to be taken advantage of. Trying to co-parent after separation without court orders? This episode offers a general discussion that may help you better understand the common challenges many face during this stage. Mum and I talk through the confusion, conflict, and emotional chaos that often arise when parenting without formal agreements in place. We explore how co-parenting typically unfolds in the early days post-separation, the general differences between parenting plans and court orders, and what can happen when one parent starts making sudden changes like; withholding time with the kids, shifting pick-up arrangements, or insisting on "rules" that were never agreed upon. If you're feeling unsure about whether to formalize your arrangements, being pressured into something that feels unfair, or just don't know where to start, this episode provides a helpful overview, insights, and discussion points to consider. Please remember this is not legal advice. Always speak with a qualified professional for advice on your specific situation.  

It's always a pleasure to welcome a bush trainer to the podcast. Our guest this week is Stephen Lee who chips away diligently from his Ballina base season after season with consistent results.  He's currently ably assisted by son Jordan with whom he'll soon form an official partnership. Lee has posted 850 winners since his  solo career began in 1986, and has two NRRA training premierships on his CV.  Stephen rotates his horses between a dual barn complex on Ballina racecourse, and a nearby 60 acre property which gives him access to a pristine stretch of  beach. Whenever one of the team warrants an opportunity in a metropolitan environment, he heads to Eagle Farm or Doomben just two hours away. He rarely tackles the arduous road trip to Sydney although he did venture to Randwick on November 1st with smart sprinter The Astronomer. This podcast was recorded twenty four hours before The Astronomer raced. Stephen talks of the easy access to Brisbane tracks as opposed to the marathon trip to Sydney. He acknowledges son Jordan's entry into the NSW training ranks and says he's looking forward to their proposed partnership. Stephen talks about the luxury of being able to give horses a complete change of environment at his beachside property. He says the new routine works wonders with highly strung horses. He talks about the large paddock set aside for retired racehorses or horses who've fallen on hard times. His partner Amanda would have even more if space allowed. The trainer talks about his two NRRA premierships. In winning the first one he unseated long time incumbent John Shelton. Stephen looks back on his early education under the tutelage of his late father Bruce. He says Bruce was a capable racehorse trainer but was best known as an all rounder constantly called upon to sort out other people's troublesome horses. He talks of his father's early association with iconic trainer Maurice McCarten. The Ballina horseman pays tribute to his elderly Mum. Stephen says his early aspirations to become a jockey were quickly negated by increasing weight. He talks of a brief flirtation with the harness racing sport. Stephen has vivid recollections of his first training win on the defunct White ParK track at Scone. He talks of a brief training stint at Coffs Harbour and a subsequent move to Ballina, a move he hasn't regretted. Stephen pays tribute to daughter Maddison who was his valued trackwork rider for a number of years. Maddison put a lot of time into Anton En Avant, a prolific winner for the Lee stable. As a yearling Anton En Avant appeared unlikely to ever make it to the races.  He talks about the gelding's amazing race record which included a win in the Gr 3 Chairman's Hcp  at Doomben.  Stephen talks of former jockey Cassandra Schmidt who won a string of races on Anton En Avant. The trainer pays tribute to several handy horses who've flown the flag for the Ballina stable over the years - Zoukina, Lasting Kiss, Minassi, Felix Trinidad, Song Time, Bavosa, and Espiritu. Stephen tells us more about his current apprentice Siabh Wrigley who still has a number of trial rides to complete before gaining her licence to ride in races. The signs are promising. It's a laid back chat with a top country horseman.

On this week's podcast, I speak with Royal Australian Corps of Signals (RA Sigs) veteran Emma Donaldson. Emma served for 20 years, both full-time and as a reservist. Emma served in several units throughout Australia. Emma served at 152 Signal Squadron attached to the Special Air Service Regiment in Perth. Emma excelled in her role and would later meet her future husband while serving at 152 Squadron. Emma is a veteran/wife, Mother and the first I have interviewed talking about the role of wives and children back at home while their partners are deployed overseas. Emma met and is married to Mark Donalson VC. Mark served in the SASR and was awarded the Victoria Cross for his action in combat in Afghanistan in 2008. Emma talks openly about the day she found out that Mark would be awarded the highest bravery award, the Victoria Cross. Emma talks about the good and the bad aspects of the Victoria Cross on families. Emma supported Mark through 7 tours of duty while balancing home life as a full-time Mum. Emma also talks about how important the support of the wives and partners is while their partners are deployed. Emma speaks about the loss of friends, her postnatal depression, and her miscarriage, the struggle that all veterans and first responders face when transitioning out of uniform. Emma also talks about rediscovering her identity and purpose as a civilian. Emma now works as a Veterans Liaison Officer for Legacy Club Services, advocating for veterans and their families. This is a raw and honest chat about the true cost of service as a veteran and life at home supporting your partner of a special forces operator and rediscovering yourself post-service.

In this final episode of the Van Life Diaries: Europe 1985, we return to England, drive through Scotland and Wales, and catch a ferry to Ireland. Then it's back to London, a farewell to our beloved campervan, on to Singapore for a few days and finally we end up back home in Perth, Australia, after six months away. What a strange feeling! This is the sixth part of a monthly, six-episode series celebrating the fact that exactly 40 years ago this year, my family and I spent six months in a striped motorhome travelling around Europe. I was nine years old and yes, this trip had an enormous impact on my life - I'm sure you wouldn't be listening to this podcast today if Van Life 1985 hadn't taken place!

How can Millennials, Gen Zs and Gen As thrive in a world where so much success depends on having access to the Bank of Mum and Dad? Historian Dr Eliza Filby – an expert in generational identity – tells Amol that society needs to shift in three major ways to mitigate the “rupture” between young and old: in values, education and wealth. Amol speaks with her about her book ‘Inheritocracy' which calls for a radical redefining of meritocracy. They also discuss the shifts in parenthood and the evolving household roles of men and women, and ‘kidulthood' - where young people move into adulthood in their early thirties instead of their late teens or early twenties.

There are few people I'd move my birthday plans for, but when we heard Jeremy Allen White was in town, we said ‘yes, chef!'. He's the superstar face of The Bear and is now playing 'The Boss', Bruce Springsteen, in the brand new biopic ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere'. Mum rustled up her foolproof onion quiche, I made an Autumn salad from NYT cooking and we sat down for lunch with Jeremy. We heard all about his favourite places to eat in London, New York & Chicago, filming The Bear and cooking for his co-stars, having his eyes painted to play Bruce, bulking up for Iron Claw, cooking for his kids, how he got the acting bug and we find out if a musical or rom-com may be on the cards in the future. Jeremy's new film 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere' is in cinemas now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What does it really mean to be a kind and ethical pet care provider? In this episode, Helen Motteram of The Pet Professional Network shares her personal story of burnout, bullying, and the powerful impact of kindness in an industry that often lacks support. She explains how ethical pet care involves both the animals and the humans who love them, and why setting clear boundaries is crucial to sustainable compassion. Helen also unpacks common ethical dilemmas pet sitters face and how we can stay grounded in our values through them. Whether you're new or experienced, her message encourages you to cultivate personal touch and protect your own wellbeing as part of professional kindness Main Topics Burnout and industry bullying Defining kindness in business Setting boundaries with clients Ethical dilemmas in pet care Maintaining personal touch while scaling Main Takeaway: “You can't be friends with everyone. But having a small group of cheerleaders you trust makes all the difference.” In the pet care industry, it's easy to feel isolated—especially when you face difficult client relationships or judgment from peers. That's why it's essential to find your people. The ones who get it. The ones you can ask the hard questions and be vulnerable with. Not everyone will be your supporter, but when you find your cheerleaders, hold them close—they're the ones who remind you why you started and help you keep going. About our guest: I'm Helen - a Behaviourist, Coach and International Speaker and have loved and worked with animals all of my life. From rescue work, travelling overseas to work with hundreds of dogs, to helping my own dog, Sally, overcome her own fear of other dogs. But it's not only animals that I'm passionate about. I help kind, ambitious, hardworking pet professionals to have more fun, more time and greater confidence in their business. With a focus on how to create a niche that fits to your personality or branding! I feel we all offer something truly Distinctive and we should embrace our individuality. So that's where I come in. To offer a soundboard and someone who can walk in your shoes. I'm the proud founder of the Pet Professional Network, a community that offers business support and networking for ethical pet professionals all across the globe. When I'm not working I'm running crazy marathons to raise money for bird rescue and spending time with my husband and Mum who've always been an inspiration.

Send us a textMy guest on this week's episode of Thrive Solo is the wonderful Cindy Sheehan.In 2016, Cindy was a married Mum of four when she took a leave of absence from her office job in Colorado and joined two friends to go backpacking on The Kerry Way in Ireland. Little did she know at the time that that trip would be the beginning of a brand new life. By the end of 2017, she had quit both her job and her marriage to become a full-time traveller, and she has since travelled to nearly 50 countries. Cindy has settled in Palermo, Sicily for now, although who knows where life might take her next. Now while she lives a largely solo life, Cindy has a French, paraglider boyfriend — otherwise known as The Frenchman — who lives in France, and although the two of them spend more time apart than they do together, they meet when they can for travelling adventures. I know that you will love hearing all about Cindy's solo life and travels. In this conversation she shares her transformative experience of leaving a 30-year marriage to travel the world, settling temporarily in various countries, and eventually obtaining an EU passport through Italian ancestry. She talks about the unique relationship dynamics with her French partner, the challenges and rewards of solo travel, and the profound sense of freedom it brings. Tune in for inspirational stories, advice on overcoming fears, and a celebration of living a joyful, independent life.04:54 Cindy's Life Transformation11:47 The Decision to Leave a 30-Year Marriage14:35 Support from Family and Solo Travels17:03 Meeting the Frenchman: A Unique Relationship23:49 The Joys and Challenges of Solo Travel28:39 Making Connections While Traveling31:13 Multi-Generational Friendships32:11 The Joys of Solo Travel34:44 Memorable Travel Destinations36:40 Settling in Europe: Portugal and Sicily37:29 Navigating EU Residency and Citizenship44:39 Living in Palermo, Sicily48:29 Overcoming Solo Travel Fears54:07 Thriving Solo: Tips and Reflections57:23 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFollow Cindy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/postsfromaflashpacker/Check out Cindy's website: https://postsfromaflashpacker.com/Support the showOrder my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

Mum & I popped over to the Dorchester in London where Gary treated us to his (and Jackson Lamb's) very favourite Chinese meal. We heard all about Gary living in Palm Springs, the meals his mum would cook as a child, growing up in New Cross, playing Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK, living in an empty hotel during lockdown, the future of Slow Horses, and we hear an incredibly touching story of his friendship with the late John Hurt. Thank you Gary for such a delightful afternoon, what a treat to eat and chat with such an icon. The new fifth series of Slow Horses is now streaming on Apple TV+. Hosted on Acast.
