Sarah Kearns is back - and glowing from the inside out.

The program Sarah runs is called " Project Glow" - and it's so much more than a health kick. It’s a full-circle transformation built on self-respect, tiny habits, and a brutally honest look at what’s not working. Sarah opens up about her own journey through motherhood, grief, hormone shifts, and the slow, sustainable changes that helped her find herself again.

We chat about:

• The moment that changed everything (a waterfall in Cairns)

• Why body acceptance and change can co-exist

• Building new habits that actually stick

• What women need to know about their cycle and strength

• How Project Glow became a toolkit for real life

I'd love to know what you think about this one! Please leave a comment below!

Huge thanks to our Patreon Subscribers! ❤️

A year ago in Episode 38, Cass and Vicky rolled into town and jumped in the van. Cass and I used to work together at the radio station and both of us (and Vicky, it turned out) had a lot of reflection and redirecting to do when we got hit with a massive change. I'm sure many of us have been through this - and it's a bloody tough thing to navigate!

This one starts off loose and broken - but ends up deep and thoughtful. Hope you enjoy it.

This is a really fun one! Amanda and Ed from the Not Quite Write podcast run flash fiction competitions that flip traditional writing advice on its head — and their “daredevil” critiques have become a favourite feature for brave writers.

We talked about:

• How “kill your darlings” became a writing comp prompt

• Why tough feedback beats empty praise

• Blind judging, beta readers, and growth through critique

Julie had no idea what she was walking into.

She thought she was meeting me at the beach - instead, she ended up in a float tank under an apartment block, getting Reiki, facials, and mocked by a woman with a massage oil holster. And it only got weirder from there.

Yep. The title says it all really. And honestly, I reckon you'll be shocked by some of these numbers!

I met Jenny Darbin at her beautiful homewares store, Ivy & Rose in Wyong. She’s sharp, hilarious, and endlessly generous - and this episode shows every side of her.

Jen's been an interior designer for over 25 years, working across huge corporate fit-outs, high-end homes, and deeply emotional renovations. Her story of how she got to where she is includes more drama, heartbreak, and triumph than you’d ever expect!

We'll go through:

• What actually makes a “good” interior designer

• The jaw-dropping "money-is-no-object" renovations

• Surviving a horrific accident - and learning to walk again

• Why Jenny is so passionate about mental health, especially for women

• Her upcoming fundraiser for the Debbie Gaunt Foundation

I think you'll really like this one!

I reckon this one should come with a warning: high chance of laughter-induced snorting.

Julie Goodwin is back in the van and this time, we spiral gloriously through philosophical dilemmas, accidental insults, ADHD meds, trolley problems, and a puppy called Jerry. It’s loose. It’s chaotic. And it’s probably the most on-brand episode we’ve ever done! 😂
