When you think of Jelena Dokic you might think “superstar tennis player”, and you’d be right. Jelena was not only an incredible tennis player, but she was an incredible tennis player that was simultaneously being subjected to very public and ongoing abuse. The strength to mentally drown out the noise…
Among the mess, the rawness and the vulnerability in this chat, Darren and I managed to have some fun, maybe it’s symbolic now that I think about it. We spoke about trauma and the shame that (unfairly) often follows it. It’s such a raw and honest conversation, listen to the…

As Australians, we value looking after each other so highly, we have built one of the most incredible healthcare systems in the world, which includes the NDIS which is something we should all be so proud of. No system is perfect and every system has flaws - yet it’s the…
It’s not until you’ve spent time in a country where English is an afterthought, where every sign, label, announcement and conversation is a mystery that you get an idea of how much we take literacy for granted. Without a way to understand the language of the country we’re in it’s…

As far as Andy Griffith is concerned - sometimes the best stories have absolutely no moral lesson whatsoever. And in writing about poos, bums, and wees (all in the service of getting more kids to read). Andy has sold millions and millions of books around the world. He brings insights…

In my chat with Angie McMahon, we talk about her strategies for minding her mental health, overcoming fear of performing, how exercise plays a role in her life and assessing her relationship with alcohol.…
Did you ever wonder "how the hell is algebra meant to help me in my adult life?!" It would have been nice to learn how to do my taxes or even just the basics of financial literacy in high school (actually, would my teenage self have absorbed it? Who knows.)…
