Hey, thanks for jumping in today. I’m sharing some reflections from my 9-year wedding anniversary weekend—and how a random cookie run led me into one of Australia’s biggest copyright controversies. What happens when a viral b...

You know that line, “You teach what you most need to learn” ? Well, that hit me—hard—during a session I ran last week. This episode is about how I ran a workshop on observation skills … and completely failed to observe the mo...

In this episode, I’m reflecting on a phrase that popped into my head while driving here: How do you become a One Take Wonder? You know, the kind of person who can just hit record and go — no second takes, no overthinking, jus...

Last week I ran two virtual workshops for a global client—one at a beautiful 1:00 PM time slot (bless), and the second... at 5:00 AM. Yep. Coffee was very involved. In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of how I ...

I usually steer clear of politics on the pod, but after the Australian federal election over the weekend… I had to say something . Because honestly? It was a total non-event. No vision. No leadership. No spark. Just some tit-...

In this episode, I chat with the absolutely brilliant Maria McDonald, a Learning + Development Manager at Geocaching HQ. Maria’s story is one of those that starts in social work, pivots into office management, and then—thanks...

Hey, thanks for tuning into the Weekend Rewind – although technically we’re only rewinding one day to my latest Talk the Walk episode with the Rock Star of Consulting himself, Alan Weiss. This one’s a bit spicy. Alan threw me...

This episode’s straight from the frustration files — and one I think we all need to hear. I just published a new piece on my Substack called “The Dark Arts of Interrupting Someone” and honestly, I had way too much fun writing...

In today's episode, I'm sharing one of my most frustrating habits: overcommitting. I tell a recent story involving a great opportunity, a good friend, and the hard realisation that sometimes saying no is actually the smart, s...

I'm recording this one on the move — literally walking through a park in Dandenong, Victoria. You might even hear a few native birds in the background. This morning, I woke up super early (like, 3:50 AM early), and even thoug...

Today’s episode is a short one, recorded live from Dandenong, Victoria. I share a chat I had with my Uber driver, Logan, on the way to the airport — and it spiralled into a massive truth bomb: All problems are communication p...

I sat down with former national TaeKwonDo athlete and amateur boxer Jessica Borg . We recorded this one at my house. Jess shared the wild story of going from being on track for the Tokyo Olympics, to being medically retired b...

Today, I’m replaying a conversation that kicked off an amazing friendship. This was the first time I ever spoke with Andy Storch — now, he’s one of my best mates in the industry. We voice note each other across time zones, I ...

Today I’m joined by one of the most thoughtful teachers I’ve ever met: Sean D’Souza from Psychotactics in New Zealand. I first saw Sean speak at the We Are Podcast conference — and let me tell you, I was hooked. Not just beca...

Today’s episode is brought to you… from the front seat of my car. Yep, I just did one of those chaotic pre-public holiday grocery shops (you know the ones where the trolley has a mind of its own), only to be ambushed by a tor...

Today’s episode isn’t polished. It’s a reflection on someone who made a big impact on my life: Lindsay Gasman. He was the kind of guy who gave you a nickname the first time he met you. Who said yes to wearing a Santa suit in...

Last night I stumbled across an article in the Wall Street Journal called “ Go Delete Yourself from the Internet. Seriously. Here’s How. ” Naturally, I clicked. And wow. It introduced me to a tool from Google I’d never heard ...

This episode is a real-time example of how I’m using AI tools like Manus to solve actual problems — not hypothetical ones. You’ll hear how I used it to: Plan a last-minute status run to retain my Qantas Gold (yes, I’m that pe...

While prepping for my Everest Base Camp and Lobuche Peak adventure, I went on a long, hilly walk by the river, audiobook in ears — Jim Rohn’s entire audio library. It's so good! And it reminded me of a simple but powerful pro...

This episode is for anyone who's ever thought: “Am I repeating myself too much?” “Should I change my message to keep things interesting?” “Does anyone even care?” Well… yes, no, and absolutely. In this replay, I’m chatting wi...

This episode is a plot twist in real time. A few weeks ago, I mentioned I’d be trekking to Everest Base Camp and climbing Lobuche East Peak in November. It’s a terrifying and exciting move—and it all came about thanks to the ...

A few episodes ago I riffed on Inbox Zero —and joked that I bet my friend Sarah Stoddart follows it. Turns out, she definitely does . She voice-noted me her strategy after hearing the episode, and honestly, her approach is so...

This episode is a total curveball. A complete pivot from anything I had on my 2025 vision board. I’m not climbing to the top of Mount Everest, but I am heading to Everest Base Camp... and beyond. I’ve just said yes (terrified...

Today’s riff is inspired by a lesson I learned back when I was a one-woman marketing department at a remote TAFE in northwest Australia. We had this boring-sounding course on email management that no one signed up for—until w...
