Hello to you listening in Bridgeport, Connecticut! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories from Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. On my Camino pilgrimage I received a small paper star  from someone I did not know to carry with me as a blessing, to remember that someone was watching over me as I walked. In turn, I'm sharing some blessings with you as you walk in your day: BLESSING FOR YOU May you eat an unfamiliar dessert in a foreign land at least once in your life. May you wake up to salsa music one summer morning, and start your day dancing. May you mix stripes with plaids, floral patterns with checks,  mismatch your socks, and add a floppy hat. May you be greeted by 20 flowers, 15 trees, 10 clouds and at least 1 extra-solar planet. If you bury your face in your tear-stained pillow and beg the Universe to please send you your soul mate, make sure you haven't slurred your teary words so they sound like "cell mate." May you dream of taking a trip to the moon in a gondola powered by firecrackers and wild swans. May you actually kneel and kiss the earth now and again.

A round of applause for Daisy Thomas in the studio after he took on the Big Freeze as Mick Malthouse! We go behind the scenes on how he organised not only the costume but Nick Maxwell and the premiership cup as well. Damo's fresh from the Hall of Fame last night and we get his takeouts before digging into some AFL news - led by Billy Frampton's suspension. Do we give Joey any credit for his big call last week where he picked the Saints to beat the Swans? The crew then get all their tips and big calls in again ahead of round 14.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Talent gets you through the door. It does not keep you in the room, and it has almost nothing to do with what you become.Kieren Jack is proof. The last pick in the AFL rookie draft, too small and too slow on paper, he outworked every reason he should not have made it. Kieren played 256 games for the Sydney Swans, co-captained the club, won the 2012 premiership and earned a place in its Hall of Fame. Then he did the harder thing. He walked away at the top and started again, building a whole new career in business where his name meant nothing.What carries across is the useful part. How do you keep performing when you are running on empty? What actually holds a team together when pressure hits? Why do the people who get knocked down and underestimated often end up the most dangerous?Recorded live, in a room that was never meant to be a podcast. No script, no second takes.

What if the next evolution of your leadership is not about becoming louder, harder, or more forceful — but more congruent? In this reflective episode, I share two unexpected moments from nature: a skunk family peacefully foraging in my backyard and a mother swan shielding her young. What first looked like simple beauty became a deeper invitation into boundaries, protection, perception, and self-trust. For mission-driven leaders who care deeply, this conversation explores the quiet power of leading with both warmth and clarity — without over-explaining, over-functioning, or abandoning what matters. In this episode, you'll learn: Why peaceful leadership still needs clear, respectful boundaries How protection can be graceful without becoming controlling What nature reveals about self-trust, perception, and embodied leadership Listen in if you're ready to lead with more presence, discernment, and quiet confidence.

He won 9 grand yesterday.But it's not all about John, even though today kind of is. Elis is having to accept that The Swans may not trump swans for his son.

Time travel back to October 2020; the lover that Aliya Pabani once joked I was doing "straight womanhood" fetish play with; to everyone else it was just a conventional relationship wherein we performed traditional gender roles.
