It’s hard to think of a more iconic Australian brand that inspires confidence, than the Royal Flying Doctor’s Service 

They operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, delivering the finest care to more than 330,000 Australians each year: that's one person every two minutes!

From babies born mid air, to dental services, to now rolling out the covid vaccine to the most rural locations in the country: you might have seen some of their heroic stories brought to life on the small screen on the new RFDS tv drama series that’s airing on Channel Seven in Australia right now.

I’ve been lucky enough to partner with the RFDS as an ambassador for many years and I’ve gotten to know their equally inspiring and trailblazing Qld CEO Meredith Staib pretty well and it's her story I wanted to share with you today. 

Meredith has smashed a few glass ceilings, starting as a nurse; doing her MBA; then providing leadership to some of the most reputable healthcare providers in the world.

She’s an inspiration not only for women in business but for anyone looking to shift career paths or step up their ambitions. And in this insightful chat she shares with us the confidence lessons she’s learned along the way.

We’ve all had those days, right? Where we feel tired and crappy… where our health just hasn’t been right. Maybe you’ve even consulted Doctor Google and either panicked, laughed or both when it spat out a cancer diagnosis. 

But what if that diagnosis was actually right. And your whole life was flipped upside down in an instant.

Mamamia’s Briony Benjamin was 30 years-old. Riding high in her career interviewing celebrities, producing hilarious viral videos and thinking she had her whole life ahead of her, when after feeling pretty crap for a while and brushing it off she received some crushing news. 

“When I think back on it, my body was sending me all the warning signs that something wasn’t quite right but I didn’t know how yet to trust that.”

This conversation is about how to rise to the challenge when things go pear shaped. And how not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path.

Briony shares how to figure out what’s truly important in life, grab onto the job and gain the confidence to bounce back from the lows.

When you think of the words honest and inspiring… well Talitha Cummins fits the bill. 

As a television journalist, she became a well known figure in loungerooms across Australia… reading the news on Sunrise and for the Seven network. 

But behind the scenes… Talitha was fighting a secret battle with alcohol addiction… stemming from a lack of confidence and self worth that began when she was a child. 

“There was a lot of time when i felt unsure of what I was doing and I didn’t disclose that I didn’t ask anyone for help because I felt that would show weakness.”

In this intimate and beautiful conversation Talitha shares the power of speaking your truth

This is an episode for anyone needing a dose of bravery to conquer their own demons,who has a yearning to reinvent their life or find the confidence to forge a new path.
