This one is very different - and super special.

I sat down in front of a packed room with author, broadcaster and journalist Julia Baird at the Words on the Waves Writers Festival to talk about her new book Bright Shining.

Julia’s work has changed lives and given so many people the courage to keep going. In this chat, we look at the big ideas that shape her writing – awe, grace, and the power of compassion.

From a nurse’s gentle touch to a father’s act of forgiveness, these stories are AMAZING!

I REALLY hope you're finding this episode on the day it's released! It'll just make the whole experience so much more fun for you! 😂 (And then the next episode as well!)

Tomorrow I’m interviewing the amazing author Julia Baird at Words on the Waves, and my mate Julie Goodwin stopped by for a chat-slash-intervention-slash-roast to make sure I’m prepared.

We cover everything from ADHD reading strategies to episode title theory, to what it’s like to work with Kermit the Frog.

Yep. Not even making that one up.

And it was all going fine until Julie stuck her face in a pot plant!

The event is tomorrow. You’ll hear the nerves. The chaos.

And the confident assurance that “everything will be fine.” Will it be?

Let’s find out together.

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!
