McNab Founder Michael McNab and Jason Matthews on 4BC Breakfast discussed how shifting construction to off-site factories in middle-ring suburbs can lower long-term costs and provide critical infrastructure faster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The name of Jesus is more than a name. It carries the authority, character and victory of the risen Son of God.

Got a question about the show? Click here & Send us a text!Housing debates can get noisy pretty quickly, but this conversation brings something particularly useful to the table, data.Returning to The Building Talks Podcast for the second time is Jonathan O'Brien from YIMBY Melbourne. When Jonathan last joined the show a couple of years ago, we dug into Australia's housing crisis and the planning restrictions making it harder to build more homes in the places people actually want to live. A lot has happened since then, so this time we look at what has changed, what has not, and where the conversation is heading next.We get into the Australian Zoning Atlas, produced by the YIMBY movement to examine planning restrictions across Australia's capital cities, and some of the findings that came out of it. Jonathan also shares his perspective on Melbourne's emerging townhouse opportunity, why housing has become so expensive in Brisbane, how Sydney and Perth are approaching the challenge, and why the problem is not always just complicated regulation, sometimes certain types of housing simply cannot be built in particular areas.Takeaways:✅ What has changed since Jonathan's first appearance on the podcast✅ What the Australian Zoning Atlas reveals about our capital cities✅ Why planning and zoning matter to housing supply✅ Melbourne's emerging townhouse opportunity✅ What is contributing to Brisbane's housing challenge✅ How Sydney, Perth and other cities are responding✅ Why some housing types remain restricted in areas where people want to live✅ Using data to bring clarity to an often emotional housing debateChapters:03:50  How the YIMBY Movement Has Evolved Since the Last Episode05:59  Housing Bans Versus Planning Burdens09:00  What YIMBY Means and Why the Movement Exists12:17  What Has Changed in Melbourne's Planning System16:47  Why People Resist Development and Neighbourhood Change24:01  Comparing Housing Reform Across Australian Cities27:30  The Australian Zoning Atlas and What the Data Reveals35:03  Brisbane Housing Prices and the Impact of Planning Restrictions40:36  Housing Wealth, Planning Rules and the Freedom to Build46:11  Construction Costs, Development Feasibility and Why Projects Still Stall52:32  Planning Delays, VCAT and Melbourne's Townhouse Reforms57:42  Why Townhouses Could Become a Major Housing Solution1:04:49  Who Actually Participates in Community Consultation?1:09:47  Social Housing, the Future of YIMBY and Where Housing Reform Goes NextTune in for a fascinating, data-driven conversation about housing, planning and what needs to change if Australian cities are going to accommodate more homes.Hope you enjoy the podcast! #YIMBY #YIMBYMelbourne #AustralianHousing #HousingSupply #HousingAffordability #AustralianZoningAtlas #UrbanPlanning #PlanningReform #TownhouseDevelopment #PropertyDevelopment #MelbourneHousing #BrisbaneHousing #BuiltEnvironment #BuildingTalksPodcastThe Building Talks Podcast is brought to you by Building Environs Recruitment - providing recruitment solutions to the property, construction, and related industries, here in Melbourne and Southeast Queensland.  For an overview of our service, visit:www.buildingenvirons.com.auProud to partner with Housing All Australians (HAA) and The Building and Construction Foundation.

Today I'm joined by Revie Jane ~ mum, founder, fitness coach and one of those people who somehow manages to be wildly motivating while also being completely real about the messy bits of life.Revie opens up about a part of her story that she hasn't always found easy to share ~ growing up with an abusive father, a mother who was emotionally unavailable and later physically absent, and spending much of her teenage years in survival mode.She talks about feeling fundamentally unlovable, living with hypervigilance, and believing that the life she had been handed was simply the life she was destined to have.But then something started to shift. From being taken in by her friend's family and experiencing a kind of love and safety she hadn't known before, to discovering fitness and realising she could continually prove her own limiting beliefs wrong, Revie shares how she began to rewrite the story she had been telling herself.We talk about the belief that “I am not what has happened to me. I am who I choose to become,” and how that idea has shaped so much of the life she has created.We also get into:✨ How Revie learned that she was lovable after spending years believing she wasn't✨ The people who showed her that love could be safe, consistent and unconditional✨ How fitness became a way of rebuilding her self-confidence and changing the narrative in her head✨ Why she believes we sometimes have to be a little “delusional” about what is possible for our lives✨ Intuition, trusting your gut and knowing when an opportunity simply isn't aligned✨ The pressure of social media and why even confident, successful people still struggle with comparison and self-doubt✨ The reality of building a successful business ~ and why bigger doesn't always mean better✨ How Revie learned that more money, more staff and a bigger business didn't necessarily equal more happiness✨ Why peace and contentment might be more important goals than constantly chasing the next thing✨ Intrusive thoughts, anxiety and the importance of not letting your thoughts dictate your life✨ The grounding techniques that help Revie when her mind gets loudThis conversation is vulnerable, honest, funny and ultimately so full of hope.Because sometimes the life you've been given can make you believe that certain things simply aren't meant for you. But your dream life doesn't belong to someone else, it belongs to you. Content note: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse, neglect, suicidal thoughts and intrusive thoughts.Revie's Links Below!

Click here & Send us a text!What does it take to grow a construction business for more than two decades, build a team you can trust, and then lead it from another country?In this episode of The Building Talks Podcast, I sit down with Simon Betteridge, CEO of GVG Group, who has spent more than 20 years helping grow the business into one of South East Queensland's leading builder-developers. We get into the Queensland construction market, leadership, productivity, building strong teams and what sustainable business growth actually looks like over the long term.We also explore a pretty unique part of Simon's leadership role. While heading up the Brisbane business, he now lives back home in New Zealand, travelling to Brisbane every couple of weeks. Simon shares how trust, good people and the right culture make that possible, and why building a capable team means a business does not need its leader sitting in the same office every day.Takeaways:✅ Lessons from more than two decades of business growth✅ Simon's perspective on the South East Queensland construction market✅ Why productivity remains such an important industry challenge✅ Building teams around trust, capability and accountability✅ What long-term leadership looks like as a business grows✅ How Simon leads a Brisbane business while living in New Zealand✅ Why having the right people creates freedom at the topChapters:02:48  Growing Up Around Construction and Becoming a Quantity Surveyor06:43  Leaving the Office for Carpentry and Running a Small Business07:48  Trade or Degree, Building the Right Career Foundation12:34  Taking Ownership of Your Career and Becoming a High Performer18:38  Moving to Brisbane and Joining Gardner Vaughan Group20:47  How GVG Evolved from Commercial Construction into Development24:08  How Brisbane's Apartment Market Has Changed28:51  Why GVG Became a Builder Developer33:19  Project Continuity and Why GVG Is a People Business35:42  The South East Queensland Market, Olympics and Project Viability41:38  Scaling from 30 to 100 Staff Without Losing the Culture51:55  Building Long-Term Relationships with Subcontractors59:13  Scaling Systems, Governance and Digital Transformation1:04:15  Remote Leadership, Trust, Productivity and the Future of South East QueenslandTune in for a grounded conversation about leadership, trust, productivity and what it really takes to grow a construction business that can perform for the long haul.Hope you enjoy the podcast! #ConstructionLeadership #GVGGroup #QueenslandConstruction #BusinessGrowth #ConstructionProductivity #BuildingGreatTeams #Leadership #BuilderDeveloper #SouthEastQueensland #ConstructionCulture #BuiltEnvironment #AustralianConstruction #BuildingTalksPodcastThe Building Talks Podcast is brought to you by Building Environs Recruitment - providing recruitment solutions to the property, construction, and related industries, here in Melbourne and Southeast Queensland.  For an overview of our service, visit:www.buildingenvirons.com.auProud to partner with Housing All Australians (HAA) and The Building and Construction Foundation.

Smilies, something big is coming… Pass Around the Smile is so much more than a podcast, it's a whole world. Be the first to step inside https://passaroundthesmile.com/pages/subscribeToday's episode is such a special one! I'm joined by the incredible Grace Miller, who quite literally got paid as an actual job to fail. Grace was the Head of Failure and Experimentation at Steven Bartlett's Flight Story, and she joined the team back in 2022 when The Diary of a CEO had just 100,000 YouTube subscribers, riding the wave all the way to tens of millions and building an entire department around the idea that failing on purpose is actually the fastest way to grow.We talk about her wild, subconscious manifestation story of landing her dream role in one single week, why she has never once felt comparison or self-doubt, and how she built psychological safety into a company culture so people actually felt safe to try. We chat about:~ How Grace subconsciously manifested her job at Diary of a CEO before she even knew it was possible ~ Why she has never experienced comparison or self-doubt, and how she reframed other people's success as their journey, not a measure of her own ~ What it actually means to run a "Failure and Experimentation" department, and how psychological safety changes everything ~ Her Red Bull fridge manifestation story (you have to hear this one) ~ Why undeniable optimism, not the absence of fear, is what gets you there ~ What she'd say to anyone sitting on an idea but too scared to take actionIf you've ever felt like your dreams are too far away, or that failure is something to hide rather than share, this episode is going to remind you that it doesn't have to take as long as you think, and it definitely doesn't have to be perfect.Grace has since taken the leap herself, launching Grace Experiments and Experiment Media.

This one is all about the last four months of the year, and why we do not have to wait for January to start creating change.Today's episode is a solo one, and I've done my journaling, my research and a whole lot of thinking to bring you five powerful ways to change your life before the year is done. September is here, summer is coming, Christmas is on the way, and I want us to use this next stretch of the year so that when we sit down with our journals between Christmas and New Year, we are so proud of how far we've come.I get really honest about where I'm at with all of this myself, including the FitSpo couple training mornings Luke and I have just started (completely out of my comfort zone), and the Australia-wide tour I wrote down as a goal for six years before I finally did it this year.In this episode, I talk about:~ Why the last few months of the year matter just as much as January 1st ~ The five powerful ways to change your life before the year is done.

In this episode of the Arete Podcast, Richard Triggs sits down with Mark Brand, Vistage Practice Chair, executive coach and leadership facilitator, to explore the value of peer advisory, the realities of leadership and why having the right people around you can make such a difference in business. Mark currently leads multiple Vistage peer advisory groups across Brisbane and South East Queensland, working with CEOs, founders, business owners and senior executives. Alongside his work with Vistage, he continues to contribute to leadership development and coach training across Australia and New Zealand. Mark shares his varied career journey, from starting his own business in his early twenties to working across technology, labour hire, career transition and executive coaching before ultimately becoming a Vistage Chair. Richard and Mark explore the distinction between coaching, mentoring and advisory work, and how leaders benefit from having access to people who can challenge their thinking while still supporting their success. Mark describes Vistage as a place where executives can have conversations they may not be able to have anywhere else, supported by confidentiality, accountability and the shared experience of other business leaders. They also discuss the vulnerability required from CEOs and founders, the importance of challenging limiting beliefs and the concept of “carefrontation” — confronting someone's thinking from a genuine position of care. The conversation also explores what sustainable business growth can look like, why some leaders struggle to receive challenge from within their own organisations and how experienced executives can continue contributing to the business community later in their careers through coaching, mentoring and peer advisory roles. In this episode: 03:36 – Mark's career journey 07:08 – How careers evolve through unexpected opportunities 08:25 – Coaching vs mentoring 10:58 – What makes peer advisory valuable? 14:42 – Vulnerability and “carefrontation” 17:45 – Supporting leaders through business challenges 20:03 – Balancing personal support with business accountability 24:22 – Common limiting beliefs among CEOs and founders 28:38 – What motivates Mark as a Vistage Chair 33:29 – How to experience Vistage 34:39 – Life outside of business 36:57 – Mark's final advice: find your tribe WATCH THE FULL VIDEO PODCAST ON OUR YOUTUBE - https://youtu.be/qI7bIiGOR6s USEFUL LINKS: Mark Brand on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-brand/ Vistage Australia - https://www.vistage.com.au/ Richard Triggs on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardtriggs/ Arete Executive - https://www.areteexecutive.com.au/

Click here & Send us a text!What if the biggest opportunity in construction is not just what we build next, but how we make the buildings we already have perform better?In this episode of The Building Talks Podcast, I sit down with Christian Schiemann, whose work sits at the intersection of technology and the built environment. What starts as a conversation about buildings quickly opens up into energy, innovation, retrofitting and how the assets we already own could look, feel and operate very differently in the years ahead.We talk about reducing energy consumption, improving building performance, upgrading existing residential and commercial properties, and the technology that could change the way buildings are managed over the next couple of decades. It is a slightly different conversation for the show, but a really interesting one for anyone curious about where property, construction and technology are heading.Takeaways:✅ How technology is changing the way buildings perform✅ Why existing buildings may hold huge untapped potential✅ The role of retrofitting in improving energy efficiency✅ How residential and commercial assets could operate differently in future✅ Why reducing energy consumption is becoming a major priority✅ What innovation in the built environment could look like over the next decadeChapters:03:27  Christian's Journey into Building Automation05:11  How Building Automation Has Evolved08:54  Open Protocols and Getting Building Systems to Communicate11:45  Automating Energy Efficiency and Bringing AI into Buildings14:31  Net Zero Buildings and the Massive Retrofit Opportunity18:09  Why Government Policy Matters for Decarbonising Buildings20:24  The Cost, Payback and Commercial Case for Greener Buildings24:07  Smart Homes, Solar, Batteries and Home Energy Management27:20  Housing Affordability, Building Standards and Smarter New Homes36:30  Data Centres, Energy Consumption and the Cooling Challenge43:06  Renewable Energy, Battery Technology and the Road to 205048:46  The Four Layer Approach to Retrofitting Existing Buildings54:50  Self-Generating Buildings, Technology Adoption and Bringing People Along1:00:41  Health, Wellbeing and the Human Benefits of Building AutomationTune in for a thought-provoking conversation about smarter buildings, better performance and the future of technology in property and construction.Hope you enjoy the podcast! #BuildingTechnology #SmartBuildings #EnergyEfficiency #PropertyTechnology #BuiltEnvironment #BuildingPerformance #Retrofitting #SustainableBuildings #ConstructionInnovation #FutureOfProperty #AustralianConstruction #PropertyDevelopment #TheBuildingTalksPodcastThe Building Talks Podcast is brought to you by Building Environs Recruitment - providing recruitment solutions to the property, construction, and related industries, here in Melbourne and Southeast Queensland.  For an overview of our service, visit:www.buildingenvirons.com.auProud to partner with Housing All Australians (HAA) and The Building and Construction Foundation.

Kristina Karlsson is the founder of global brand kikki.K and now the founder of Dream Life, where she inspires millions around the world to dream big and take action. After experiencing both incredible success and heartbreaking challenges, she now shares her journey to help others create a life aligned with their purpose and dreams.Kristina was one of my live guests at my Sydney show, and the conversation we had on that stage stayed with me long after it ended. I knew I wanted to bring her back and share her with the whole world of Smilies, because her story deserves so much more room than one live moment allows.In this episode, we go right back to the beginning, to the moment Kristina first wrote her dream down on paper, and what that imagined life actually looked like before any of it was real. We talk about what it felt like to watch that dream grow into kikki.K, a brand that touched millions of people globally, and whether living inside it matched what she'd once pictured, or surprised her in ways she wasn't expecting.We don't shy away from the harder parts either. Kristina opens up about the moment things started to shift behind the scenes, and the heartbreak of eventually parting ways with the brand she built from nothing. It's a conversation about identity as much as it is about business. Who am I without this? is a question so many of us fear asking, and Kristina walks us through what she rediscovered, and what she found for the very first time, once the title and the brand were no longer hers to hold.Now, with Dream Life, Kristina is back in the version of success that actually feels like her, and this conversation is a gentle reminder that falling apart isn't the end of the dream. Whether your dream has crumbled or hasn't even started yet, this one is for you.Kristina's Links Below! View The Dream Life Store Here!View Kristina's Instagram Here!

Today's episode is all about flipping the script on fear. I'm sharing some very real, very ridiculous examples from my own life, including the wild stories I convinced myself were true in the lead up to my tour, and the moment I nearly played small before my biggest sale ever, of what happens when we stop rehearsing worst case scenarios and start getting delusional about the best ones.We talk about the difference between being "realistic" and actually just being scared, why manifestation is supposed to be fun (not forced), and the sale story where I had to get honest with myself, and even leaned on Claude for a confidence boost, before I could set a goal I actually believed in. I also get into why gratitude is the step so many of us skip in manifestation, and what happened when I forgot to sit in it.There are three journal prompts at the end to take with you, because this one is best when you actually sit with it, not just listen and move on.1. Where have I recently undersold, undercharged, or undersized what I am capable of?2. What would it look like if I let this be easy instead of expecting and then pushing through struggle?3. What is the most delusional good outcome I can imagine for myself? And what is stopping me from writing it down or speaking it out loud?Mentioned in this episode:Rochelle's Meditation and Regulation Teaching Program - Use code CLEO for $250USD offShop Wild Deodorant & Lip Balms Here - Use code CLEOMASSEY for 20% offMy Money Mindset Meditations are on this album ⁠⁠Visit Pass Around the Smile here!⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my Facebook community group here!⁠⁠Find me on Instagram⁠⁠@passaroundthesmile⁠⁠⁠⁠@cleomassey⁠⁠Find me on Tik Tok⁠⁠@cleomassey_⁠⁠The Pass Around the Smile podcast is recorded on Bundjalung Country, in South East Queensland, Australia.

In this episode of the Arete Podcast, Richard Triggs sits down with Brad Church, Chief Executive and Senior Advisor at Goodman Private Wealth, to explore wealth, values, wellbeing and what it really means to build a successful life. Brad has been with Goodman Private Wealth for 28 years, having joined as the third person in the business after attending only one job interview. Today, he leads a small, privately owned firm that works closely with financially successful individuals and families across South East Queensland. The conversation explores the evolution of Goodman Private Wealth, from a more traditional investment advice business into a comprehensive private wealth firm. Brad also shares the succession journey that saw the business transition across management, client relationships and ownership, each requiring its own distinct plan. Richard and Brad discuss why financial advice should begin with values, not products. Brad explains the financial roadmap process Goodman uses with clients, starting with the question: “What's important about money to you?” From there, the conversation moves into goals, current financial position and the bigger picture behind better decision-making. Brad also shares his philosophy of wellbeing, which moves beyond the traditional idea of work-life balance. Instead of trying to balance work against everything else, Brad focuses on eight areas of wellbeing: physical health, inner and emotional health, environment, generosity, recreation, relationships, business and career, and financial wellbeing. They also explore philanthropy, values-led leadership, recruitment, culture and what it takes to build a workplace people genuinely want to be part of. Brad explains why Goodman hires for fit and trains for skill, and how its recruitment process begins with a values conversation rather than a traditional skills-based interview. This is a thoughtful conversation about money, meaning, consistency, curiosity and the importance of building success across every part of life, not just the financial one.

During Homelessness Week, host Jason Matthews on 4BC Breakfast interviewed Salvation Army regional manager Jonathan Dwyer about how skyrocketing rent and cost-of-living pressures across Southeast Queensland are forcing everyday working families into homelessness. Dwyer highlighted the unprecedented demand placed on support services since 2020 and outlined urgent solutions for governments, including early prevention programs, "Housing First" initiatives, and expanded social housing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you have ever wondered if your body has been trying to tell you something, this episode is for you!In this week's episode, I'm joined by the beautiful Sheriece. Energy healer, Reiki practitioner and one of the most compassionate women I know.Together, we dive into the fascinating world of chakras and energy centres, exploring what they are, what they can reveal about your emotions, limiting beliefs and patterns, and how understanding them can help you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.I also share my own experience after having an energy healing session with Sheriece. We unpack the areas where my energy felt stagnant, what those blockages represented, and why simply acknowledging them has already left me feeling lighter, more aware and genuinely excited for what's to come.We chat about:✨ What the seven chakras are and what each one represents.✨ How your body and energy can communicate what's really going on beneath the surface.✨ Reiki and energy healing, and what to expect in a session.✨ How stagnant energy can influence your confidence, self-worth, relationships and even your ability to manifest.✨ Why so many limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns can be linked to your energy centres.✨ Simple ways to begin reconnecting with yourself and accessing your own inner wisdom.If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or simply curious about energy healing, I think you're going to love this conversation.Sheriece and I are also so excited to be bringing this work to our Bloom Into Balance Retreat in Byron Bay this October. Energy healing sessions are included as part of the retreat experience, and we still have a handful of rooms available if you'd love to join us.

Failure does not have to be the final word over your life. In John 21, Jesus meets Peter in the aftermath of his denial. He doesn't condemn or humiliate him, but heals his shame, restores their relationship and renews his calling. Jesus does not ignore our sin, but He uses the fire of failure to refine our character, deepen our dependence on Him and prepare us to serve others with greater humility and compassion. _____If you need prayer, we're here for you.

What does the Holy Spirit do in our lives today? In John 16, Jesus teaches that the Spirit convicts the world, guides believers into truth and glorifies Jesus. In this message Lauren Lucas explores how the Holy Spirit reveals our need for a Saviour, exposes the lies that keep us bound and leads us into the freedom found in God's truth. As we slow down and make space for Him to speak, we are invited to recognise His kindness, share the good news with courage and see Jesus more clearly._____If you need prayer, we're here for you.

Ready to join me in person? My Manifestation Retreat is coming up, and I'd absolutely love to have you there. You can find all the details here.This episode is your reminder to stop waiting... and start saying YES.How many ideas have you talked yourself out of? How many times has fear convinced you that now isn't the right time, that you're not ready, or that you'll probably fail anyway?In this solo episode, we're diving into the difference between fear and intuition, how to tell them apart, and why learning to trust yourself could completely change the direction of your life.I share two very personal stories. One where fear became so loud it almost led me to make the wrong decision about creating a brand new card deck, and another where the Universe presented an exciting opportunity that required me to act quickly, trust myself and leap before overthinking took over.We'll chat about:✨ How to recognise the difference between fear and intuition.✨ Why we get stuck in "What if I'm wrong?", "What if I fail?" and "What if I get rejected?"✨ Why opportunities don't always arrive slowly... sometimes they come fast, and it's up to us to say yes.✨ Why failing isn't something to fear.✨ Three things that disconnect us from our intuition.✨ Three ways we unintentionally ignore our intuition in friendships and relationships.One of my favourite reminders from this episode:"Compassion for someone else should never require abandoning yourself."To finish, we add a little bit of magic, because that's how we like to do things at Pass Around the Smile hehehe. You'll choose between a shell, flower or dandelion and I'll pull an oracle message from my Positive Guidance Cards, giving you the chance to test your own intuition before revealing your message.I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired, empowered and ready to trust yourself a little more... because the life you're dreaming of isn't waiting for you to feel fearless.

What does it mean when Jesus says, “The glory You have given Me I have given them”? In this message from John 17, Derek Peters traces the story of Scripture from the Garden of Eden to the empty tomb, discovering how God has always been leading humanity back into communion with Him. Together we explore the lies that keep us trapped in shame, fear, and striving, and reveals the invitation to live from the Father's affirmation, abiding in Christ, and resting in the finished work of Jesus._____If you need prayer, we're here for you.

Sometimes life leaves us standing in front of things that feel impossible. In this message from John 11, Brad Case looks at Jesus stepping into the heartbreak of Martha and Mary after the loss of Lazarus, and we discover a Saviour who is both full of truth and full of grace. Jesus doesn't stay distant from our pain; He weeps with us, walks with us, and reminds us that He is “the resurrection and the life.”_____If you need prayer, we're here for you.

In today's episode, I wrap up my entire tour experience ~ all the shows, all the moments, all the feelings that came with it.OH MY GOSH, I did it - it was incredible, my Smilies it was so incredible to meet you, the energy at each show was electric! It was honestly just all amazing! Thank you for all the support, its been such a long journey that you all have been on the ride for, and what a ride it was! I share what the lead-up to the tour was really like for me, emotionally and mentally, and how much was going on behind the scenes that I didn't always show.A big part of this episode focuses on the Gold Coast show, where I really felt myself spiralling in real time. Allowing moments of self doubt and insecurity wash over me about things I couldn't control. It pulled me out of presence and into my head in a way I didn't fully expect.I also open up about forgetting parts of the show and the pressure I put on myself in those moments. It was a real lesson in how easy it is to turn on yourself when things don't feel perfect.But I also talk about the shift I had to make ~ choosing to come back to myself, to the room, and to the reminder that no one knows the “perfect” version of the show except me. It became about not letting self-sabotage take over, and learning to anchor back into what was actually happening in front of me.Across the tour as a whole, there were so many highs, so many learning moments, and so much growth I didn't fully realise until now.This episode is proudly sponsored by My Jewellery Shop, and also marks our partnership sponsorship for the tour.Special thanks to Sarah Rachel Makeup for my gorgeous makeup and hair for the Gold Coast show ~ she was incredible.This episode is your reminder…That even in moments of self-doubt, you can come back to presence.That you are allowed to not be perfect.And that the way you speak to yourself in those moments matters more than anything else.Post in the community!!!If you've been following along this tour, I'd love to hear what resonated with you the most.Have you ever caught yourself spiralling in a moment and had to bring yourself back?Share with me in the Smilie community ~ I'm reading everything Cleo xxVisit Pass Around the Smile here!Join my Facebook community group here!Find me on Instagram@passaroundthesmile@cleomasseyFind me on Tik Tok@cleomassey_The Pass Around the Smile podcast is recorded on Bundjalung Country, in South East Queensland, Australia.

In 2022, a mass stranding of more than 600 sick turtles devastated Hervey Bay in South East Queensland. As volunteers worked tirelessly to rescue them, scientists got to work on solving the puzzle: what caused this disaster?Dr Caitlin Smith is one of the scientists racing to unravel the threats facing our sea turtles before it's too late.Her work has seen her fearlessly leaning out of helicopters to survey seagrass, slip-sliding across stinky mud bogs to rescue half-ton turtles, studying turtle blood samples, and putting baby turtles through fitness tests to understand how our actions are impacting them.In this episode, she explains why these ancient animals are so magnetic, and what we need to do to save them.More info:Assessing the impacts of contaminant exposure on green sea turtles - Dr Caitlin Smith, UniSCPost-flood monitoring of seagrass in Hervey Bay and Great Sandy Strait - JCU TropwaterDugongs and turtles are starving to death in Queensland's seas - and La Nina's floods are to blame - Professor Kathy Townsend, The Conversation.Mon Repos Turtle CentreUniSC Milbi Centre: Sea Turtle Research and Conservation Support the showHelp Keep Word on the Reef Afloat!Please take 2 minutes to fill out our Word on the Reef Listener Survey to help us apply for funding for the show!PROTECT THE REEF - Sign these Petitions Now!Australian Marine Conservation Society: Australia, it's time to lead on Climate Action!Divers for Climate: Sign the 'I'm a Diver for Climate' National StatementAustralian Conservation Foundation: No New Coal and Gas!Queensland Conservation Council: Take Strong Climate Action and Build a Positive Renewable Future!Our Islands Our Home: Protect the Torres Strait Islands from Climate ChangeGreenpeace: Save the Great Barrier Reef!WWF Australia: Protect NatureRising Tide: ...
