In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah sit down in person with the glittering, best-selling author, Chelsea Winter, for a very special live conversation with the cookbook queen, mother of two, and all-round force of divine feminine nature. Chelsea has been part of our kitchens and hearts since MasterChef days, and she opens up about everything from her free-range childhood to following intuition, navigating motherhood solo, and finding balance between her brand and her true self. She shares the journey from corporate burnout to MasterChef glory, her evolution through plant-based living and back to balance with her instant best-selling cookbook, Nourish, and how her relationship with food has mirrored her personal growth. Chelsea speaks with striking honesty about the tougher parts of that journey too. Dealing with public criticism, navigating the expectations of fame, and calling out the sexism that still surfaces when women dare to expand beyond the boxes they’ve been put in. Her candour about self-doubt, resilience, and finding strength through vulnerability made for some of the most powerful moments of the afternoon. Chelsea talks candidly about motherhood, in all its joy, chaos, ego hits, and the daily lessons our kids throw back at us. She shares how she’s discovered the importance of self-care, boundaries, and honouring your inner knowing. She shares about her upcoming ‘Nourish & Bloom’ retreats, designed to help women reconnect with their divine feminine energy and each other, and her plans for her future direction. Thank you to our live audience for turning up to share this moment and bringing an incredible vibe. We were honoured to host you and get to hang out for an unforgettable afternoon!

In der ersten offiziellen Folge des „Erkenntnistheoretischen Führerscheins“ sprechen Andreas Kollar und Fritz B. Simon über Beobachten, Denkunfälle und den überraschenden Nutzen von Unklarheit. Warum schlampiges Denken oft funktioneller ist, als man glaubt. Weshalb man Landkarten nicht essen sollte. Und wieso UNO-Resolutionen absichtlich mehrdeutig formuliert sind – all das erfahren Sie hier. Inhalt dieser Folge: • Denkunfälle vs. Verkehrsunfälle – und warum es keine „Denkpolizei“ geben sollte. • Schlampiges Denken als psychische Gesundheitsvorsorge. • Landkarte vs. Landschaft – der Klassiker unter den Erkenntnisfallen. • Beobachten = Unterscheiden + Bezeichnen. • Unterschied zwischen Organismus-, Psyche- und Sozialwelt-Beobachtung. • Beobachtung zweiter Ordnung: Sich selbst auf die Schliche kommen. • Spencer-Browns Kreis-Übung: Innen/Außen verstehen. • Die Funktion von Wischiwaschi in Kommunikation und Politik. Besondere Zitate von Fritz Simon: • „Nur wer schlampig denkt, bleibt gesund.“ • „Der erste große Denkunfall ist, die Speisekarte für die Speise zu halten.“ • „Man muss lernen zu unterscheiden, wann strenges Denken nützlich ist – und wann Wischiwaschi.“ •v„Unklarheit kann die Voraussetzung dafür sein, dass man überhaupt im Gespräch bleibt.“ Literaturen: • Spencer-Brown, G.

Is food addiction a mental illness? Should ultra-processed foods rich in sugar and refined carbohydrates be classified alongside alcohol, nicotine, and other addictive substances linked to substance use disorders?Food addiction (especially to processed, packaged, carb-heavy foods) is real, widespread, and often misunderstood by both the public and healthcare professionals.Dr. Bret Scher and Dr. Georgia Ede sit down with Dr. Jen Unwin, a psychologist with over 30 years of NHS experience, to explore the science, diagnostic challenges, and recovery strategies for ultra-processed food addiction.In this interview, you'll learn:Why food addiction isn't yet formally recognized as a substance use disorderHow food addiction differs from emotional or disordered eatingBiological mechanisms driving addictive patterns, such as dopamine spikes from refined carbohydratesThe six WHO criteria for substance use disorder and how they apply to foodThe role of ketogenic and low-carb diets in recovery from food addictionThe influence of artificial sweetenersThe importance of defining the addictive substances involvedYou'll hear practical strategies for treatment, including abstinence-based approaches, personalized dietary plans, group support, and brain-retraining education. The conversation also explores the rise of GLP-1 medications—where they can help, where they fall short, and how they compare to dietary interventions in addressing root causes.If you or your patients struggle with cravings, cycles of relapse, or feelings of helplessness around food, this discussion offers hope, clarity, and actionable next steps toward lasting recovery.Expert Featured:Dr. Jen Unwinhttps://x.com/drjenunwinwww.the-chc.orgDr. Georgia Ede‪@GeorgiaEdeMD‬Resources Mentioned:The International Food Addiction Conferencewww.the-chc.org/fas/conferenceDr. Unwin's Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/Fork-Road-Hopeful-Guide-Freedom-ebook/dp/B08XZL1LLJ/CME's Mentioned:Managing Major Mental Illness with Dietary Change: The New Science of Hopehttps://www.mycme.com/courses/managing-major-mental-illness-with-dietary-change-9616Brain Energy: The Metabolic Theory of Mental Illnesshttps://www.mycme.com/courses/brain-energy-the-metabolic-theory-of-mental-illness-9615Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between...

What actually caused the downfall of the great civilizations this Earth has seen? In 1934, social anthropologist J.D. Unwin made a vigorous scientific attempt to answer this question. He studied 86 different cultures, including the Roman, Greek, Sumerian, Arabian, Babylonian and Anglo-Saxon civilizations. He had expected to find that monogamy had no real influence on these cultures. But by the end of his study, Unwin came to a much different conclusion. He found that throughout history in nearly every civilization, sexual license and the decline of monogamy lead to irreversible societal collapse within just three generations. Tune in to hear us break down his findings and explain them through the lens of the yoga wisdom. Highlights: (0:59) Why make decisions in life that are against the trend? Because it's better for you. (8:59) Summarizing Unwin's study; when sexual restraints disappear, so do rational thinking (22:45) Marriage is what holds the powerful force of lust at bay, but more and more people just want to be able to “lick the icing off the cake” and then move on (33:30) Balakhilya witnessed the sex and drugs revolution of the 60's and saw the consequences of a “whatever feels good” mentality (46:10) The more knowledge we have, the better our choices will be—for the well-being of everyone Recorded on November 12, 2022. https://linktr.ee/breakingtrail

Journalist Kerrie Davies with the story of how novelist Miles Franklin went undercover as a maid for a year, in Sydney and Melbourne's wealthy houses, well before gonzo journalists became household names.The real-life story of novelist Stella Maria Miles Franklin had an unexpected chapter after publishing My Brilliant Career.In 1903, Miles became a 'girl stunt reporter' by going undercover as a servant.For a year, she lived as a maid in Sydney and Melbourne's wealthy houses and wrote about the humiliations and drudgery in the daily lives of servant girls, or 'slaveys'.During her experiment she hand-rolled heavy, wet clothes through a washing mangle; served her employers pre-breakfast tea and toast in bed, which she thought was an obscene indulgence; she cleaned guest rooms and parlours; helped at high-society balls and kept fires burning in winter.The manuscript Miles wrote about this year pre-dated George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London by three decades, yet it never found a publisher.Journalist Kerrie Davies has investigated this little-known chapter of Miles' life, finally bringing this story to life in her own book.This episode of Conversations explores feminism, suffragettes, biography, books, servants, writing, Australian fiction, boy sober, class warfare, adventures, adventurous women, risk-taking, origin stories, gonzo journalism, Nellie Bly, Rose Scott, early 20th century Sydney, Chicago, women's rights, trad wives, motherhood, partnership, self-partnering.Miles Franklin Undercover is published by Allen and Unwin.

"My role is catching the ideas and making them happen." – Stephanie UnwinIs your leadership moving forward, or are you just keeping busy?In the fast-paced world of executive leadership and entrepreneurship, it can feel impossible to carve out time to think strategically. But what if making space for reflection isn't a luxury—it's the key to unlocking long-term success? In this episode of Transformative Leadership Conversations, I sit down with Stephanie Unwin, a seasoned executive and business leader, to explore how prioritizing strategic thinking not only makes you a stronger leader, but also helps you steer your company toward sustainable growth.Stephanie opens up about the importance of deliberately carving out time for reflection, recharge, and deep thinking—ensuring that leadership isn't just about constant action but also about intentional decision-making that shapes the future of the business.You'll hear us discuss:Why carving out time to think is not a “nice to have”—it's a leadership necessity. As an executive, it's easy to get swept up in the whirlwind of daily demands—meetings, emails, and urgent decisions that take up most of your day. However, without setting aside dedicated time to reflect, refine strategy, and gather your thoughts, leaders risk losing sight of the bigger picture.The secret to balancing high-energy execution with moments of clarity. Leading a company often feels like an unending sprint. While constant action and execution are important, Stephanie explains how never taking a step back to pause and think can lead to burnout, decision fatigue, and reactive leadership.Why founders and executives must stay aligned on vision, values, and risk-taking. Whether you're working for a founder or running a startup yourself, one of the most critical components of leadership is alignment. Stephanie dives deep into why executives must ensure that their vision, values, and approach to risk-taking are in sync with the founders or leadership team.How to navigate change without losing sight of the bigger picture. The business world is in a constant state of flux—markets shift, technologies evolve, and customer demands change. Leaders who resist change or get bogged down by every shift risk falling behind. Stephanie shares her approach to staying agile, adapting to changes, and continuously innovating without compromising the company's core mission and values. .The underestimated power of trusting your team and leveraging their insights. No leader has all the answers, and the most effective leaders are those who recognize the importance of collective intelligence. Stephanie highlights how fostering a culture where team members feel empowered to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and contribute to strategic discussions can greatly enhance decision-making.ResourcesStephanie Unwin on LinkedInWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

Chris Parker is an award winning comedian, actor, writer, show-runner and podcaster.  This past year Chris hosted the New Zealand Comedy Festival Gala, and toured his latest show, Give Me One Good Reason Why I Shouldn't Throw My Phone Off This Bridge, to full houses throughout Australia and New Zealand. He also made his prime-time Australian TV debut on Thank God You're Here (where he won the episode) and released the highly anticipated second season of Double Parked. Chris Parker is most commonly known for his funny Instagram and TikTok videos which built him a huge social media audience over the last few years. His legendary win on the hit New Zealand TV show Celebrity Treasure Island made history! His 2018 New Zealand International Comedy Festival show Camp Binch, was awarded the prestigious Fred Award for Best Show in the Festival and went on to play to 5-star reviews and sell-out crowds at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Fun fact, the felt hat he made during the 2020 nationwide lockdown was acquired by and is on display at The Auckland Museum and Te Papa the National Museum of New Zealand. Kinda dramatic – don't you agree? Chris is a theatre graduate from the renowned drama school Toi Whakaari O Aotearoa and he has appeared in and written multiple theatre shows across New Zealand, most notably Hudson and Halls Live! Where Chris played one-half of the famous gay cooking duo, David Halls and won best actor at the 2017 Wellington Theatre Awards. Chris has appeared in feature films such as Baby Done, The Breaker Upperers and Nude Tuesday and has two feature films of his own currently in development. As a comedian and writer Chris is a regular face on New Zealand television appearing on 7 Days, Have You Been Paying Attention NZ, Jono and Ben, Funny Girls, Season 3 of Taskmaster New Zealand and the sitcom Golden Boy. Chris also co-hosts the podcast The Male Gays with fellow comedian Eli Matthewson, which has an upcoming digital video series in production. Chris was listed as The Herald's top 5 Entertainment Heroes of 2020 and in 2021, was nominated for Television Personality of the Year. In 2022, Chris was the recipient of the inaugural Topp Prize awarded by the New Zealand Comedy Trust for Aotearoa's most generous and gifted comedian. That same year released the comedy/documentary special Chris Parker: Back To School, about all boy schools in Christchurch. Chris embarked on an Australian and New Zealand national tour of his show Gentle Man to sold-out crowds and 5-star reviews and his debut novel Here for a Good Time was released through Allen & Unwin. In 2023, Chris toured his new show, Lots of Love, Chris Parker, to sold-out audiences in Australia and New Zealand. Chris's new comedy series, Double Parked, premiered in June and was created and written with Alice Snedden. He was the show runner and writer for the narrative comedy series Double Parked and is currently touring his live stand up (Stop Being So Dramatic) shows across New Zealand and Australia. Stop Being So Dramatic are four words the self-proclaimed People's Princess of Aotearoa Chris Parker has heard his whole life. Now those words also happen to be the name of his show touring Australia and New Zealand in 2025. At the culturally relevant age of 34, Chris is ready to address the drama queen allegations head-on. Stop Being So Dramatic promises to be an hour of high-intensity, feverishly paced and dizzyingly expressive comedy, it's a one-man variety spectacle, chill, stand-up hour of laughs. That doesn't sound dramatic at all – does it? Chris admits, there is some merit to the accusations, such as crying in every speech he's ever delivered publicly, and there may have been a situation this year where he slept on his neck weirdly resulting in a neck brace. Still, Chris is sure he's just a chilled guy, down to Earth and he's ready to prove it to you in Stop Being So Dramatic.   We chat about his evolving voice, performing on a broken foot (multiple times), being an improv king and his 10 hour improv day, being the felting guy, his upcoming tour, being a show runner and leadership, thriving on celebrity treasure island plus plenty more!

Today Catherine Robertson reviews two nonfiction books and a novel. They are: Mrs D is Not on a Diet (Allen and Unwin) by Lotta Dann. Route 52: A Big Lump of Country Unknown (Ugly Hill Press) by Simon Burt Book People (Headline) by Jackie Ashenden

1. Why Hannah describes her later-in-life Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis as “an exfoliation of shame.” 2. How neurodiversity affects Hannah's relationships–and how she connects to the world through what's “interesting” instead of what's “important.” 3. Hannah's revolutionary commitment to stop using self-deprecating humor about her body, sexuality, and gender–and why we might all consider the same commitment. 4. Why it's easier for Hannah to share her personal stories “in bulk” on stage instead of one-on-one. 5. What it takes for Hannah to prepare for conversations–like ours on We Can Do Hard Things. About Hannah: Tasmania's own Hannah Gadsby stopped stand-up comedy in its tracks with her multi-award-winning show, Nanette. When it premiered on Netflix in 2018, it left audiences captivated by her blistering honesty and her singular ability to take them from rolling laughter to devastated silence. Its release and subsequent Emmy and Peabody wins took Nanette (and Hannah) to the world. Hannah's difficult second album (which was also her eleventh solo show) was named Douglas after her dog. Hannah walked Douglas around the world, selling out the Royal Festival Hall in London, the Opera House in Sydney and the Kennedy Center in DC, a sit-down run in New York and shows across the US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Douglas covered Hannah's autism diagnosis, moving beyond the trauma at the centre of Nanette and instead letting the world see the view from Hannah's brain – one that sees the world differently but with breathtaking clarity. The show was an Emmy-nominated smash hit and is available throughout the world on Netflix, recorded in Los Angeles.  Hannah Gadsby's “overnight” success was more than ten years in the making, with her award-winning stand-up shows having been a fixture in festivals across Australia and the UK since 2009. She played a character called “Hannah” on the TV series Please Like Me and has hosted multiple art documentaries, inspired by her comedy art lectures. In 2022, Hannah's first book Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation was published by Ballantine, an imprint of Penguin Random House, in the United States, Atlantic in the UK, and Allen & Unwin in Australia. Hannah has done plenty of other things over the course of more than a decade in comedy, but that will do for now.

When millionaire Australian socialite Margaret Wales-King and her husband, Paul King, disappeared in April 2002, friends and family became concerned something serious had happened to the older couple. Those fears and concerns were confirmed a few weeks later, when park rangers discovered their bodies in a shallow grave in Marysville, Victoria. Margaret and her husband had been clubbed and strangled to death.The press dubbed the murders “the society killings” and the tragedy captured the Australian public's attention for the ways it seemed to have been pulled right out of a classic mystery novel. Yet for all the couple's wealth, nothing appeared to be missing from their home and their bodies were discovered still wearing jewelry and in possession of credit cards and other valuables. Under the circumstances, police looked to Wales-King's children, who stood to gain a great deal of money in the event of Margaret's death. Within a week the case started to come together, and a suspect was revealed.While most of the family responded to the Wales-King murders in a manner one would expect, thirty-four-year-old Matthew Wales behavior was erratic, explosive, and suspicious. Upon interviewing Matthew, investigators learned he was the last person to have seen his mother and stepfather the night they were murdered, after having dinner with Matthew and his wife, Maritza. A few weeks later, after multiple interviews, Matthew Wales confessed to murdering his parents; though why he had done it came as a shock to everyone who knew the family.ReferencesAnderson, Paul, Philip Cullen, and Mark Butler. 2002.
