While some law students may believe that rushing through their degree offers a competitive advantage, this might not be true. Instead, taking a more measured approach to your studies can be beneficial. In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Charlotte Carles, a young ambassador for UNICEF Australia and the founder of Gen Z Abroad, about her initial ambition to pursue a legal career, how her deep dive into the mental health challenges facing law students sparked her passion for advocating for a slower approach to completing a law degree, what this approach looks like in practice, and how this mindset has enabled her to undertake a traineeship with UNESCO in Jakarta and an international internship in Tahiti. Carles discusses how taking a more measured approach can significantly enhance a student's professional development, identifies the valuable skills they can gain that they wouldn't from the classroom, outlines the personal benefits of slowing down, including improved wellbeing and the opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends, explores how this approach can better position students for a smoother transition into full-time legal practice, examines whether universities should actively encourage this measured approach, and outlines strategies for law students interested in implementing this approach in their academic journey.

TARA MOSS IS GOING TO DIETara Rae Moss is a force and a shape-shifter. She is the bestselling author of 14 books of fiction and non-fiction, an experienced keynote speaker and documentary host, an award-winning advocate, holistic healer, funeral celebrant and practicing seiðkona.Since 1999 she has written fourteen bestselling books under the name Tara Moss, published in 19 countries and 13 languages, including advocacy handbook for women and girls Speaking Out, her #1 non-fiction bestselling memoir The Fictional Woman, and the internationally bestselling postwar historical crime novels The War Widow and The Ghosts of Paris.Tara Rae is an outspoken advocate for human rights and the rights of women and children, and has been a UNICEF Australia goodwill ambassador since 2007. In 2014 she was recognised for outstanding advocacy for her blog Manus Island: An Insider's Report, which helped to break information to the public about the alleged murder of Reza Barati.Against all odds, Tara Rae is now in remission for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) – a rare disease she lived with for nearly eight years, marked by constant burning pain that rates on the McGill Pain Scale as more painful than childbirth or amputation of a digit. Despite being told by multiple doctors that she would never recover, she was able to get her condition into complete remission in 2023 after years of debilitating pain that impacted all aspects of her being, including her mobility, causing her to require a wheelchair.With her gothic sensibilities Tara Rae has always been fascinated by the creative aspects of mortality - so it make sense that she's planned her dream Funeral with fine and brilliant detail.Website: taramoss.comInstagram: @taramossauthor Marieke Hardy Is Going To Die is a podcast made by Marieke Hardy (IG @marieke_hardy).You can follow at IG @GoingToDiePodMusic by Lord Fascinator (IG @lordfascinator)Produced by Darren Scarce (IG @Dazz26)Video edits by Andy Nedelkovski (IG @AndyNeds)Artwork by Lauren Egan (IG @heylaurenegan)Photography by Eamon Leggett (IG @anxietyoptions)With thanks to Amelia Chappelow (IG @ameliachappelow)Camilla McKewen (IG @CamillaLucyLucy)and Rhys Graham (IG @RhysJGraham)Drop an email to mariekehardyisgoingtodie@gmail.comWhilst acknowledging the privilege that comes with having the space to discuss death and mortality, we want to also recognise that discussing these topics can raise some  wounds.

Ann Sherry is a change maker who’s notched up so many extraordinary achievements during her decades long and inspiring career to date that it’s hard to know where to start. Suffice to say Australian women have a lot to thank her for as one of the many things she’s responsible for is introducing paid maternity leave to corporate Australia. She also transformed the cruise industry in Australia as CEO of Carnival Australia, notching up double digit growth every year despite having to deal with significant challenges. Today Ann sits on multiple boards including Carnival Australia where she is Chairman, she is also Chair of UNICEF Australia, and a Non Executive Director (NED) with one of the country’s biggest banks, National Australia Bank (NAB), as well as Sydney Airport, Rugby Australia, the Museum of Contemporary Arts Australia and Palladium.  Ann has many accolades for her extremely varied career to date including a Centenary Medal, an Order of Australia and the overall winner of the Women of Influence award in 2015. In this episode you’ll hear: How having a baby with Downs syndrome at just 21 didn’t stop her from pioneering his care and returning to work when he was still young How she’s learnt to be resilient and not be phased by others judging her Why she thinks women need to take more risks And why she controversially bought a host of brightly coloured pant suits shortly after becoming one of the first senior women at a major bank. For listeners who outside of Australia, near the end of the episode we talk about how there’s recently been a Royal Commission in to banking in Australia - it’s basically a court-style public inquiry into misconduct which unearthed some serious misconduct across the industry. So please enjoy this fascinating discussion with the inspiring and truly entertaining Ann Sherry.   Ann Sherry & her son Nick Links to Ann: Twitter Linkedin     See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I recently heard the term Voluntourism. I hadn’t heard of it, so I did some research and I found out that it was something I really needed to know more about. So I have invited Adrian De Giovanni to join us to explain all about it. Adrian is a representative from UNICEF Australia. Voluntourism is Volunteering Tourism. It's a booming industry that's estimated to have already made around 2.6 Billion dollars. 1.6 million people volunteered last year. Due to the high amount of tourists participating in Voluntourism, there are major issues regarding child safety and job security for locals in developing countries. Adrian explains the dangers for these children and why no one should volunteer in an orphanage. 80% of children in an orphanage are not actually orphans. This is a must listen episode. Unfortunately people are trying to help and donate their time, but voluntourism is not the way to do it. Below are links to organisations that can give you more information on Voluntourism and how to volunteer in a safe way for communities and children. https://www.unicef.org.au/voluntourism/ https://friends-international.org/  https://dfat.gov.au/people-to-people/volunteers/Pages/smart-volunteering.aspx https://www.rethinkorphanages.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For any questions or requests please email us at withyoueverysteppodcast@gmail.com Instagram - @withyoueverystep Facebook   - @withyoueverystep Twitter  -     @withyoueverystp  

It's not surprising that Sharon Salloum would pursue a career in food – her dad has a thing for DIY cooking devices and even pioneered a shopping trolley/fridge shelf/lawnmower barbecue. Her mother and grandmother taught her the power of food around the family table, and their recipes inspired her Almond Bar cookbook – which landed her two international Gourmand Cookbook awards. Just hearing Sharon talk about Syrian dishes is the very opposite of a hunger suppressant; it will make you want to order her food immediately. But Sharon actually decided to work in healthcare before teaming up with her sister Carol to open Almond Bar in Darlinghurst and their newish cafe 3 Tomatoes in Ashbury. Her ingredients are grounded in local postcodes – vine leaves cut from her parents' yard, fresh za'atar from an uncle's home, or visits to a Western Sydney grocer who sells home-made shanklish from neighbours or excess produce from their suburban gardens.  And given that Sharon has has strong memories of riding donkeys in her father's Syrian homeland (and eating some extraordinary breakfasts in the country), it's obvious why she has gone out of her way to find hospitality work and opportunities for refugees from the region. She's also taking part in the big Cook For Syria fundraising dinner happening on June 18 at Three Blue Ducks in Rosebery, in aid of UNICEF Australia's Syria Crisis Appeal for Children, and you can find her sfouf recipe in the upcoming Bake For Syria cookbook.

Iconic Australian, Ken Done talks about his new book, A Life Coloured In, an exuberant memoir by one of Australia's best-loved artists. Ken Done has an extraordinary place in the hearts of Australians - many of whom have worn or decorated homes with his artwork. Taylor Swift was given a specially commissioned Ken Done artwork to commemorate her December 2015 Australian tour. Done donated his fee to UNICEF Australia, for which he is a Goodwill Ambassador. Done's vivid, optimistic images are part of our collective consciousness and have helped define Australia to the world. But what do we know about the man behind the brush and the 'Ken Done' commercial art phenomenon? The sudden loss of his investments from a lifetime's hard work and a resultant stressful court case was closely followed by a shock cancer diagnosis. It was a dark time, but the powerful paintings that subsequently emerged have brought him long-overdue artistic acclaim. Ken Done was awarded the Order of Australia (AM) in 1992 and was named Australia's Father of the Year in 1993.
