Anna’s first novel, The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife, is a charming and heartwarming tale inspired by her best friend and grandfather, Fred, and her time working in aged care. After Fred was diagnosed with dementia, Anna made the life-changing decision to step away from her medical degree and join the nursing home where Fred had moved, in order to spend more precious time with him.

Through this experience, she became a passionate advocate for positive aging—a theme that beautifully shines through in her novel. While The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife tells the fictional story of Fred accidentally swapping places with the much grumpier Bernard at the nursing home, the book is filled with love, care, and compassion that is rooted in Anna’s real-life journey with Fred.

In this episode, host Sandy Lowres talks with Anna about her transition from medicine to writing, her advocacy for positive aging, and how her grandfather’s legacy inspired this touching debut. You won’t want to miss this heartfelt conversation!

In this gripping episode of The Good Girl Confessional, we welcome author Maggie Walters, - author of the incredible memoir SPLIT!

How does a child survive unimaginable abuse? For some, the mind steps in to protect them, by creating "alters" and splitting. Again, and again. In Maggie's case, many times. 

Maggie's harrowing yet hopeful journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

Maggie opens up about the relentless abuse she faced from the age of three to sixteen at the hands of her parents, and others.

To cope with such profound trauma, Maggie's mind created protective alters, with her primary alter, Annie, becoming a crucial guardian.

Known collectively as "The Girls," these alters carried the burdens of trauma Maggie couldn’t bear alone.

Maggie vividly recounts her experiences, including terrifying moments aboard a stormy ship, where she first began dissociating to escape her harsh reality. Her father's severe abuse, often enabled by her mother, left deep psychological scars that developed into Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD).

Through candid and reflective conversation, Maggie reveals how each alter emerged as a survival mechanism in response to constant threats.

This is a story of incredible courage and hope. Despite the horror of her past, Maggie has bravely rebuilt her life, balancing the challenges of MPD (or DID) with raising a family. Her story of therapy and self-discovery is a testament to resilience and the ongoing journey of healing. Tune in to hear Maggie's powerful account of survival, the complexities of dissociation, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

Welcome to this episode of The Good Girl Confessional Podcast, where we delve into transformative stories of resilience and healing.

Today, we explore the remarkable journey of Beryl Crosher-Segers, a woman whose life story is a testament to the power of perseverance and self-discovery. Beryl's journey begins in the oppressive environment of apartheid-era South Africa, where racial segregation dictated every aspect of life. Growing up as a child in a world divided starkly along racial lines, Beryl experienced the harsh realities of discrimination and deprivation.

Her father’s East Indian heritage and her mother’s Portuguese and Mozambican roots placed her in a unique and challenging position within South Africa’s racial hierarchy. Despite the obstacles, Beryl's mother fought valiantly for her children’s education, recognizing it as the key to escaping the cycle of poverty and injustice.

This determination to overcome adversity led Beryl to Australia, where she embraced a new life of freedom and opportunity.In Australia, Beryl thrived, building a successful career in the events industry and contributing significantly to major cultural and sporting events. However, her success did not shield her from the deep-seated trauma of her past. The release of her memoir, A Darker Shade of Pale, stirred old wounds and ignited a backlash of hate and vitriol, plunging Beryl into a period of profound personal crisis.

Struggling with panic attacks and severe anxiety, Beryl faced the daunting task of confronting her past traumas. Through dedicated therapy, including Shamanic Healing, she began the arduous process of healing. Her journey wasn’t without setbacks; the road to recovery was marred by intense emotional and psychological battles. Yet, with resilience and support, Beryl emerged with a renewed sense of purpose.

Her subsequent books, Behind My Smile and Living With Purpose, reflect her profound journey from pain to peace. They offer readers not only a glimpse into her struggles but also practical wisdom on finding tranquility amidst life’s chaos.

In this episode, we delve into Beryl's extraordinary story of healing and transformation. Her experience teaches us that true inner peace comes not from escaping the world's chaos but from finding serenity within ourselves. Join us as we explore her journey, her books, and the powerful messages of self-love and resilience that she shares with the world.

Welcome to this episode of The Good Girl Confessional Podcast, where we delve into transformative stories of resilience and healing.

Today, we explore the remarkable journey of Beryl Crosher-Segers, a woman whose life story is a testament to the power of perseverance and self-discovery. Beryl's journey begins in the oppressive environment of apartheid-era South Africa, where racial segregation dictated every aspect of life. Growing up as a child in a world divided starkly along racial lines, Beryl experienced the harsh realities of discrimination and deprivation.

Her father’s East Indian heritage and her mother’s Portuguese and Mozambican roots placed her in a unique and challenging position within South Africa’s racial hierarchy. Despite the obstacles, Beryl's mother fought valiantly for her children’s education, recognizing it as the key to escaping the cycle of poverty and injustice.

This determination to overcome adversity led Beryl to Australia, where she embraced a new life of freedom and opportunity.In Australia, Beryl thrived, building a successful career in the events industry and contributing significantly to major cultural and sporting events. However, her success did not shield her from the deep-seated trauma of her past. The release of her memoir, A Darker Shade of Pale, stirred old wounds and ignited a backlash of hate and vitriol, plunging Beryl into a period of profound personal crisis.

Struggling with panic attacks and severe anxiety, Beryl faced the daunting task of confronting her past traumas. Through dedicated therapy, including Shamanic Healing, she began the arduous process of healing. Her journey wasn’t without setbacks; the road to recovery was marred by intense emotional and psychological battles. Yet, with resilience and support, Beryl emerged with a renewed sense of purpose.

Her subsequent books, Behind My Smile and Living With Purpose, reflect her profound journey from pain to peace. They offer readers not only a glimpse into her struggles but also practical wisdom on finding tranquility amidst life’s chaos.

In this episode, we delve into Beryl's extraordinary story of healing and transformation. Her experience teaches us that true inner peace comes not from escaping the world's chaos but from finding serenity within ourselves. Join us as we explore her journey, her books, and the powerful messages of self-love and resilience that she shares with the world.

Have you ever been called a slut? The word is oftn weaponsised against women.

Despite decades of activism, women are still burdened with the effects of slut shaming in everyday life. Dr. Hilary Caldwell’s new book, SLUTDOM, argues convincingly and passionately for women’s enjoyment of sex as a force to advance gender equality.

Joining host Sandy Lowres, Hilary is delving into topics such as pleasure, pain, empowerment, and real women’s stories. Hilary is uniquely placed to understand what women want or need – and, importantly, what women deserve. Hilary has drawn on her unique experiences and academic background, and being a sex worker,  to create an in-depth, fascinating, provocative, and thought-provoking call to arms. As an academic with a Masters in Health Science and Applied Science, and a groundbreaking doctorate titled ‘Women Who Buy Sex in Australia,’ she has spent years studying and understanding the dynamics of women’s sexual experiences. This deep research, combined with her own life experiences as a sex worker and a queer mother and grandmother, positions her as a powerful voice in the conversation about women’s sexual empowerment.

SLUTDOM is controversial, celebratory, and courageous. Deeply researched and enriched by the author's personal experiences, the book is a bold call to action for women everywhere to reclaim their sexual power and redefine their sexual identities on their own terms.

Dr. Hilary Caldwell’s work is a testament to the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the vital role of sexual empowerment in achieving it. Her insights and advocacy are a beacon for women seeking to embrace their sexuality unapologetically and with pride.We at The Good Girl Confessional Podcast are excited to delve into these themes and more with Dr Hilary Caldwell. Join us as we explore the transformative power of sexual empowerment and what it means for women over 40, 50, 60, and beyond.  This is a powerful and thought provoking conversation.

Today in the Confessional, host Sandy Lowres chats with the remarkable and down to earth Australian author, Kirsty Jagger.

Kirsty is a journalist by trade. In 2019, she won the inaugural Heyman Mentorship Award, established by acclaimed Australian author Kathryn Heyman for a writer from a background of social or economic disadvantage. Roseghetto takes some inspiration from growing up in the housing commission estates of Sydney’s western suburbs. This is her first novel.

Roseghetto is a stunning debut novel which follows Shayla, a young woman on a newspaper assignment who returns to the public housing estate where she grew up and finds it demolished. The locals have been evicted, their homes erased, their stories too. Standing among the rubble of Rosemeadow, Shayla is assailed by her memories of living there. The bad secret Daddy asked her to keep. Mummy rekindling a dangerous romance. Making friends with ‘the gutter kids’. Surrounded by poverty, confronted by domestic violence, Shayla found her escape in reading. Now it’s time to tell the stories of Rosemeadow, including her own.

Roseghetto is an unforgettable and moving coming-of-age story, an account of breaking the cycle of violence and poverty.

Kirsty shares her hard won wisdom of growing up in similar circumstances to the characters she has created, and finding her own way out to find a better life.

This is a powerful novel that explores the messiness and complexity of midlife, about the ways in which we navigate an intricate, complicated world; and about how we can uncover our true selves when we are forced to face the myths that make us.

"Layla Byrnes is exhausted. She's juggling a demanding job as an anaesthetist, a disintegrating marriage, her young kids, and a needy lover. And most particularly she's managing her histrionically unstable mother, who repeatedly threatens to kill herself. But this year, it's different. When her mother rings just before Christmas, she doesn't follow the usual script. Instead, she tells Layla that there's something she needs to tell her about her much-loved father. In response, Layla drops everything to rush to her childhood home on the wild west coast of Tasmania. She's determined to finally confront her mother - and find out what really happened to her father - and lay some demons to rest."

Megan shares her wisdom also. She grew up moving around, which instilled in her a respect for small-town characters and a dislike of linoleum in rental properties. She spent most of her primary school years scribbling in her mother’s 1970s herb books and then telling people they were novels she’d written and published. The Heart is a Star is an engrossing, lyrical and powerfully absorbing novel. You won't see the twists and turns coming.

You can see Megan's own heart throughout the characters.

Today in the Confessional, I'm thrilled to chat with Marsha Gordon, a Professor in Film Studies at North Carolina State University in the USA who stumbled across a forgotten historical figure just by chance and made it her mission to bring this story into the light.

Ursula Parrott was, by any standards, quite an extraordinary woman and thanks to Marsha's incredible research, she may finally receive the respect she so deserves. Marsha's latest book Becoming the Ex-Wife: The Unconventional Life and Forgotten Writings of Ursula Parrott (2023) is an incredible expose of a woman who in the 1920s lived her life on her own terms, writing best-selling novels, and being a sought after columnist for high-end magazine publications.

Parrott's first novel, Ex-Wife, was published anonymously in 1929. A popular sensation, it sold more than 100,000 copies in nine editions. MGM paid $20,000 for the film rights as well. Ex-Wife was subsequently adapted for film as The Divorcee (1930) starring Norma Shearer, who won an Oscar for her role. Shearer also starred in an adaptation of Strangers May Kiss, published in 1930. Her novel Next Time We Live was adapted for film as Next Time We Love in 1936.

As a writer, Parrott was most successful between 1929 and 1940. Her son estimated that she earned around $700,000 ($14.6 million in 2022 dollars) during that period of time. In December 1942, Parrott became the subject of national coverage when she was brought up on federal charges of attempting to help the jazz guitarist Michael Neely Bryan escape from the Miami Beach Army stockade, but was found innocent by the jury at her trial.

Ursula Parrott wrote about many things, including being a single mother and woman in a man's world. Yet, she was often thought of a romance novelist. She married and divorced several times. She was a genuine player in the world of both literature and Hollywood, and yet somewhere along the way, Ursula became another forgotten woman in these industries. There is no Hollywood star on the Walk of Fame, no plaque to suggest she created so many thought provoking works in her life.

I am thrilled to chat with Marsha, who's curiosity and passion for Ursula's story culminated in her incredible book. I for one am so blown away that, until Marsha's book, I had never heard of Ursula. I really hope Ursula Parrott will now be spoken about often as she paved the way for so many women to follow in her footsteps.

Today in the Confessional, I am honoured to be chatting with the gorgeous writer and fellow podcaster Jo Pybus. We’ll be talking about Jo’s powerful article that was published nationally this week about her experience of being raised by an alcoholic mother. Jo’s courage to share this very personal story has resonated with so many people.


Jo’s article, titled “I didn’t want to demonise my alcoholic mother in her eulogy – but I wasn’t going to lie either” was published in the @sydneymorningherald and @sundaylifeau and is a powerful read.


As many are considering giving up alcohol for Dry July Foundation Jo explores the concept of what legacy we might be leaving behind. Is our alcohol use impacting our kids and those around us?

Jo is a writer and menopause advocate, and is also my fellow host over at Alex the Seal Podcast- a fun and nostalgic podcast about the music of the 70s and 80s - the music that got us Hooked up, Knocked up and Broken up.

At 67, Bron has a lot of hard-won wisdom. She is a powerful woman dedicated to helping other women reconnect with their own power. Despite her achievements - including an honours degree, serving as a school principal, being an ordained minister, and having experience working with asylum seekers, Bron once struggled to tap into her full potential because of the expectations of family and society.

Through her own journey, which has placed her as a bias expert and keynote speaker, she has come to understand the importance of knowing one’s values and needs and being clear about them. By guiding women to understand their own drivers, needs and values Bron helps women reconnect with their own power so they can confidently negotiate their salaries and pursue leadership positions, unapologetically celebrating their achievements along the way.

Today in The Good Girl Confessional we welcome back Sydney-based Author and Columnist Kerri Sackville who has explored the concept of spending time alone and the huge benefits it can bring to your life. In her powerful new book The Secret Life of You: How a bit of alone time can change your life, your relationships and maybe the world, Kerri unpacks the concept of alone time and we chat about society's attitude towards solitude.

Kerri's new book is life changing! When Kerri decided to stop filling every idle moment with distractions and learn to be comfortable with her own thoughts, her quality of life began to soar. She started to see that her productivity and creativity increased and she realised her connection with others became deeper. In a world of smart phones, social media, and endless streaming options, along with the demands of work, family and friends, spending time on your own can feel impossible. Kerri explores the roadblocks to unplugging and contemplates aloneness versus loneliness.

She also provides practical advice on how to become comfortable in your own company and learn to enjoy time on your own.

The Secret Life of You is now available in all good bookstores.

Her first book, QUEEN MENOPAUSE – a friendly, frank, compassionate and comprehensive companion for any woman experiencing menopause – was published in 2022 by Allen & Unwin. She also Co-hosts with her husband, actor Cameron Daddo, on their hit podcast “Separate Bathrooms”. Interviewing some of the most interesting couples in Australia, they take a look behind the closed doors of their relationships.

With her gorgeous smile and all-Australian beach body, she lit up the covers of Australia’s top fashion and pop magazines. Cleo, Dolly and Cosmopolitan, kept her face front and centre with fashion spreads and stories. It was rare that she was not on the cover every month of one of these publications, well into the 90’s. Now Alison's daughter has just signed to a modelling agency, in her 20's.

Alison talks opening and honestly today about her perimenopause journey, and why sharing this journey has been so important in helping other women to navigate perimanopause. She is also open about attending therapy and how a 30 year marriage requires genuine work!

This is a brilliant conversation!

In the past decade she has firmly cemented herself as one of Australia’s most compelling crime writers. Born and bred in Newcastle, Australia, Lee always hankered to write. During her high school years, she sang and played guitar in a band, playing regular gigs around town – often penning her own songs, something she says is the very essence of storytelling. In her teenage years, Lee joined a soft rock band recording one LP. So enamoured by music, she would also study a male-dominated instrument - the saxophone. Life would lead her to teach, and then into the corporate world. In mid-life Lee made the brave decision to leave her corporate life as a trainer, to start writing novels as a full-time career. Now in her 60's Lee is a successful crime and mystery writer. Her trilogy of crime novels with romantic elements is set in Australia’s iconic Snowy Mountains of NSW, Australia.

Dead Horse Gap was published by Allen and Unwin in February 2022, Crackenback in February 2021, and Charlotte Pass in February 2020. Lee's writing has become known for engaging places and elements she knows as characters - mountain ranges, a ski lift, and mountain huts. Her ability to transport the reader into places she is passionate about is a gift. Charlotte Pass recently won the Australian Romance Readers Association award for Favourite Romantic Suspense in 2020. Lee loves connecting with her readers and has appeared on a panel discussions and live events. The mother of grown children, Lee lives in Newcastle with her husband and her Irish Wheaten Terrier, Honey.
She is currently writing her next book set in Newcastle.

Today we chat about music, writing, the creative soul and how you are never too old to follow your passions and dreams.

TW: this episode has discussions of death, loss, grief, suicide.

We will all experience loss at some point in our lives but not everyone will know how to manage their grief and move forward with meaning and purpose.  Faced with compounded heartache by the untimely death of several loved ones as well as a myriad of other losses, Lisa Gallate embarked on a journey of self-healing and renewal.

Her memoir, Just Because, acts as a measure of wisdom on the often unspoken but universal topics of depression, suicide, miscarriage, and chronic illness.   

Lisa Gallate first experienced the loss of her sister and her sister’s partner in a shocking car accident, followed by her husband’s premature death by suicide, the inspirational but short life of her brother who died of brain cancer, the death of her father to COVID-19, and the prolonged demise of her mother from Alzheimer’s Disease.

These events could happen to any of us, at any time, and how we manage them and continue to live our lives with intent is one of life’s greatest challenges.    

Within Lisa’s story she articulates the approaches she has taken throughout her own journey, providing guidance to others who are faced with emotional despair. Just Because is a self-help memoir infused with unwavering accounts of how, in times when all sense of meaning may feel lost, you can manage your emotional anguish to reshape and renew your life.    

These candid pages offer comfort, warmth, honesty, hope and humour, as well as strategies for healing in the belief that loss and grief will change your life, but they do not need to define it.

A Little Bit Culty Podcast - Sarah Edmondson & Nippy Ames
https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/a-little-bit-culty/id1553334816]]>3794false11fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/110-anita-jacoby-am-acclaimed-tv-producer-author--53244007
Anita has an extraordinary career across both print and television media and has worked with industry greats and on award-winning shows, including Enough Rope with Andrew Denton, The Gruen Transfer, Good Morning Australia, Today and 60 Minutes, as well as documentaries such as Angels & Demons and Chelmsford Hospital. During her distinguished career, Anita has won many awards - AACTAs, AFIs, an Order of Australia Media Award (60 minutes) and even a Logie Award.

In 2021, Anita received the Gold Distinguished Service Medal, The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award.

It's no surprise then that Anita doesn't do anything by halves. When her beloved father passed away, Anita realised she might not know all she thought about him and set about on a journey to uncover facts about her dad. She could never have predicted the story that was about to unfold. Anita tells the story of her father in her book Secrets from Behind the Screen: The Award-winning TV Producer's compelling search for the truth. At the heart of this story is a daughter's love for her father, and the moment she uncovers the human she hadn't seen.

Anita shares her incredible wisdom about her career in the Australian TV Industry, as well as the captivating story that unfolds in her book.

Hacia is no stranger to overcoming adversity having learned to walk again after a tragic horse riding accident in 2017 left her in a wheelchair for 12 months. She overcame debilitating and chronic pain and the doctors prognosis that she will never walk unaided again to achieve her CPA from her hospital bed, riding 100km twice for charity and running multiple half-marathons.

As a result, Hacia is invited to speak regularly on mental toughness, redefining success and courage with well-known brands such as the CPA, Honda, Ladies in Finance+ Time, Girls with Hammers, League of Extraordinary Women and Deakin University. I

n 2021 Hacia was named in The NYC Journal’s Top 30 Women Disruptors To Look Out For, and the Disruptors Magazine Top 30 Inspiring Women To Look Out For In 2022. She also received the CPA President’s Award for Excellence - Emerging Leader and has been appointed the Deputy Chair of the Emerging Leaders Network.

The charity was established in 2020 after founder Hacia Atherton discovered that women account for only 3% of trades within Australia and only 1 female out of 100 hold a trade apprenticeship. In addition, Australia is approaching the lowest level of apprentice commencements since the late-1990s and the number of females commencing an apprenticeship of any type fell by 12.2% from 2016 to 2020.

Mel and Trish are girls after my own heart, with a pro-ageing mentality and a passion for changing negative narratives around midlife and beyond.

Sassy, smart and a bit cheeky, you won't want to miss their wisdom.

‘Don’t Give a Fifty,’ is a podcast for midlife women looking for a weekly hangout with two regular 5ishers who aren’t prepared to put on the handbrake just yet. The girls delve into the fun stuff, the hard stuff and everything in between.

Today on The Good Girl Confessional I'm chatting with Kelly Pearson, a serious wine maker in her 50's, who has created her own cheeky label - Ladygarden Wines. Ladygarden wines has a range of wines, from sparking, to crisp whites and dark reds.

Kelly has been in the Australian wine industry for decades, but she has also worked as a wine maker in California, USA, as well as China and India.

In an Industry that sees only 10% of top jobs going to women, Kelly has created a brand, based in Geelong Victoria, with a purpose to celebrate female wine makers and create opportunities for women in this field. Kelly also collaborates with other female wine makers to bring wine to the world.

Kelly is passionate about all aspects of the wine industry and likes to share her knowledge of wine in a fun and intetresting way! I know I learnt so much chatting with her on the podcast. Her passion to help other women to succeed in a competitive industry is really inspiring and very kick ass. We chat about what her journey, and the risks she took to be her own boss.

Today in The Good Girl Confessional, host Sandy Lowres chats with Crime Writer Nikki Mottram. While at home with a new baby and a toddler, Nikki was looking for a creative outlet and so began a love affair with writing. When Nikki had her own children, she started to see her career in child protection in a whole new light.

Drawing on those experiences in child protection, but affected by a 30 year old unsolved murder of two women she had read about, Nikki's debut novel, Crows Nest, combats the often ineffectual essence of social workers previously portrayed in books and film, bringing forward a main character, Dana Gibson, written with intelligence, both hardworking and ruthless when it comes to the protection of children.

Through Nikki's unique and well informed lens, she challenges the misconceptions of the child protection industry through a heart-twisting and compelling small town crime fiction. Nikki's debut novel, set near the town she actually lives in, is gripping, with believable and fully formed characters. Having signed a two book deal with UQP, Nikki's second book coming in 2024!

Louise is a proud South Australian, and the Director of Philanthropy at The Life You Can Save, an organisation that makes smart giving simple by recommending charities that save lives and improve well-being where each dollar goes the furthest. Having done the research already, The Life You Can Save makes it easy for donors to support charities that are proven to be highly impactful. Through their website they recommend many charities that are making an impact including those that support women and girls globally, climate change, and charities that create ecomomic opportunities. While studying ethics, Louise was inspired by Peter Singer, the man often dubbed by Journalists as the “world’s most influential living philosopher", to become more mindful in regards to issues that impact the world - global poverty and animal justice amongst them. She became interested in effective altruism which measures the number of lives saved per dollar. On their website, The Life You Can Save has an Impact Calculator so you can see what impact your donation is making.

Beyond her work at The Life You Can Save, Louise has worked or volunteered in roles across financial advising, management consulting, political campaigning and animal advocacy. In 2017, Louise felt moved to join the Animal Justice Party in South Australia becoming a Senate candidate, with a key focus of helping farmers transition to move to more sustainable, plant based crops and business models. Louise is now the Vice President of the Animal Justice Party. Louise was hoping she could create structural change at a bigger level. For Louise, the treatment of animals cannot be separated from the health of our environment and is linked to the wellbeing of our community.
Big change requires bold thinking and in 2018, Louise ran in the South Australian State Election as a candidate…and then as a lead candidate in the Senate in 2019. In 2022, she ran for both the State and Federal election. She is now the Vice President of the party.

‘They may be a minor party but we can still have an impact. It gives us the ability to negotiate with bigger parties at a State and Federal level."


Sandy chats with Louise about her life in philathropy, being a woman in Australian Politics, animal rights and veganism, and why passion for what you do really matters, and the changes it can effect.

Wb40 and The Good Girl Confessional Acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land we record this podcast on, the Wurrundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nations and pay out respect to their elders, past, present and emerging.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/52567279Sun, 29 Jan 2023 20:00:02 +0000Sandy LowresToday in the award winning The Good Girl Confessional, host Sandy Lowres is chatting with Louise Pfeiffer, a passionate philanthropist, politician and animal rights advocate. Louise is a woman who doesn't do things by halves. Down to earth and...
Louise is a proud South Australian, and the Director of Philanthropy at The Life You Can Save, an organisation that makes smart giving simple by recommending charities that save lives and improve well-being where each dollar goes the furthest. Having done the research already, The Life You Can Save makes it easy for donors to support charities that are proven to be highly impactful. Through their website they recommend many charities that are making an impact including those that support women and girls globally, climate change, and charities that create ecomomic opportunities. While studying ethics, Louise was inspired by Peter Singer, the man often dubbed by Journalists as the “world’s most influential living philosopher", to become more mindful in regards to issues that impact the world - global poverty and animal justice amongst them. She became interested in effective altruism which measures the number of lives saved per dollar. On their website, The Life You Can Save has an Impact Calculator so you can see what impact your donation is making.

Beyond her work at The Life You Can Save, Louise has worked or volunteered in roles across financial advising, management consulting, political campaigning and animal advocacy. In 2017, Louise felt moved to join the Animal Justice Party in South Australia becoming a Senate candidate, with a key focus of helping farmers transition to move to more sustainable, plant based crops and business models. Louise is now the Vice President of the Animal Justice Party. Louise was hoping she could create structural change at a bigger level. For Louise, the treatment of animals cannot be separated from the health of our environment and is linked to the wellbeing of our community.
Big change requires bold thinking and in 2018, Louise ran in the South Australian State Election as a candidate…and then as a lead candidate in the Senate in 2019. In 2022, she ran for both the State and Federal election. She is now the Vice President of the party.

‘They may be a minor party but we can still have an impact. It gives us the ability to negotiate with bigger parties at a State and Federal level."


Sandy chats with Louise about her life in philathropy, being a woman in Australian Politics, animal rights and veganism, and why passion for what you do really matters, and the changes it can effect.

In her 30s, Marci found herself living a life she had never envisioned for herself. She had been a good student who had been accepted into a prestigious theatre school, she was a doting mother with two young sons, and yet, somehow she found herself taking it all off in front of paying customers to "Bootylicious" by Destiny’s Child.

Marci's book, The Good Stripper: A Soccer Mom's memoir of Lies, Loss and Lapdances, is an eye-opening journey. Marci reveals the punishing circumstances and self-destructive behaviors that shaped her early adulthood, including a bank-robbing stepfather, the loss of her beloved brother, eating disorders, and sexual misadventures with a manipulative husband.

She describes, in honest, raw, and intimate detail, her struggles to recognize what was happening to her, and her sometimes misguided fight to regain control of her destiny. Above all, it is the story of how one woman, after years of living a double life, packing school lunches by day and giving lap dances by night, finally became the authentic human and inspirational leader she was meant to be.

Marci shares her powerful and hard-won wisdom in The Confessional. It is a story of resilience, of finding herself, embracing her sexuality in her 50s and living a life with authentic power.

Marci is a recognized expert on body image and self-esteem, and founder of The Fit vs Fiction body image workshops. She was named one of Canada’s Top 100 influencers for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 by Optimyz fitness magazine. By surviving a life of turmoil through tenacity and resilience, Marci uses her experiences to help others release themselves of the shame, guilt and insecurities that keep them from living their lives with the joy they deserve. Marci is the host of the inspiring new podcast How To Ruin Your Own Reputation where she shares the stories of guest bravely living life their own way.

I'm Sandy Lowres, the host of The Good Girl Confessional Podcast. I am so excited to bring you the 100th Episode today with our special guest Kayte Murphy!!

Over the years, Kayte has worn many hats - As Mrs Woog, she became one of Australia's most successful professional pioneer bloggers (@woogsworld). She has also created a thriving community of like-minded women. Kayte is also an author and writer and was the co-host of the popular podcast The Hot Flush, where she and Kim Berry talked about their lived experience of Peri-menopause.

You can listen to their podcast episode here:
https://www.spreaker.com/episode/41361196

During the pandemic, Kayte, like a lot of women, turned to alcohol for comfort but realised her relationship with drinking had become more than problematic. Kayte openly shares her journey into her awakening that in the grip of peri-menopause and depression, alcohol was ruling her life, and her experience of going to rehab. She also shares how therapy led to a brand new passion and purpose - painting. Now sober for over 12 months, Kayte has reinvented herself as an artist, bringing joy to many, but more importantly healing herself.

Thank you to Kayte for sharing your hard-won wisdom and lived experience so openly.

Starting her Journalism career in London, her career in Australia began when she edited national music magazine Jmag (for the radio station Triple J) before taking the helm of Time Out Melbourne, sister mag to Time Out London.

Now a freelance writer for publications including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Guardian, the ABC, The Saturday Paper and The Monthly, Jenny also teaches courses on memoir writing.

Jenny is the author of Walkley-nominated research-memoir,Woman of Substances, which investigates the female experience of drugs and alcohol. It was published in the UK and US by Head of Zeus in 2018. Woman of Substances is considered to be a valuable resource by drug and alcohol professionals. After its publication Jenny was appointed as a board director of SMART Recovery Australia, a consultant for the University of NSW’s National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC), and an ambassador for BrainPark, a project of Monash University’s Brain and Mental Health Laboratory.

Her fourth book, Everything Harder Than Everyone Else: Why Some of Us Push Our Bodies to Extremes, was published in 2021. It’s become a global hit with podcasts devoted to endurance and sport, and the audiobook version has excerpts from my interviews with the people profiled in each chapter.

If that's not impressive enough, Jenny has also been an amateur Muay Thai fighter and has now started body building!

Today, we are re-sharing this powerful episode where Sandy chats with Sally Leydon. Sally has never given up searching for her mother, Marion Barter, who has been missing for 25 years. Marion is a missing person, much-loved mother and a celebrated teacher. Marion's disappearance is the subject of the hugely popular Channel 7 Podcast, The Lady Vanishes, now with over 10 million downloads globally.

Host Bryan Seymour and Executive Producer Alison Sandy have helped Sally to gain incredible traction regarding information and clues about Marion's sudden disappearance. Along with a group of volunteer super sleuths around the world, they edge closer to unravelling this unsolved case.

Sally joins me in the confessional to chat about her mum, her unwavering quest to find answers and how this experience, and the later loss of her brother, Owen, has impacted her life. This case has so many twists, turns and leads - from international travel to cults, name changes and mysterious untouched bank accounts.

Marion, also known as Florabella Natalia Marion Remakel, is on the Australian National Missing Persons register. This is an ongoing investigation. Since we originally taped this episode, Marion's disappearance had become the subject of a Coronial Inquest, with startling evidence uncovered and shared including testimony by Ric Blum, a convicted conman who had gone by dozens of aliases including Fernand Remakel. His names also included Frederic de Hedervary, Willie Wouters and Roger Louzoney. The findings of the inquest are due to be released in two weeks as brand new episodes of The Lady Vanishes Podcast continue to unfold.

If you have any knowledge of Marion's whereabouts, or have any information about her disappearance or beyond, please contact www.crimestoppers.com.au or (in Australia) phone 1800 333 000.

Today on The Good Girl Confessional Podcast our special guest is Kate McCaffrey, who has an incredible career as a YA author. When she was 17 years old, she broke up with her boyfriend who had a car accident the same night and couldn't remember much, except for her. It's a powerful true story and one that she bravely drew on as she began writing YA fiction.

In fact, Kate has written no less than five award-winning Young Adult novels. Each of these novels has been on school curricula across Australia, and each talks to issues that are impactful for young adult readers.

Leaving a teaching career to write full time, Kate is not afraid to talk to issues that confronting including drugs, eating disorders, mental health issues and cyberbullying.

As a True Crime podcast lover, Kate has recently launched her first adult novel, Double Lives based on a true crime podcaster with a journalism background who hopes to solve a crime with the help of her listeners. Written as a podcast, Double Lives is a gripping novel from start to end. It is now available in all good bookstores.

I loved chatting with Kate and her incredible insights on being a woman beyond forty.

Today in The Confessional, Sandy chats with Sandy Davies, entrepreneur and founder of Happy Pause Menopause Balm. Necessity is often the mother of invention and when Sandy Davies found herself going through peri-menopause, she found herself going through many physical changes, but not getting a lot of answers from doctors. After trying products that she reacted badly to, Sandy founded Happy Pause, an all natural product to help women suffering from dryness caused by menopause, chemotherapy and periods. Sandy, from far north Queensland, donates a portion of her sales to the Melbourne Period Project, founded by Vic Australian of the Year Donna Stolzeberg, and is a kick ass supporter of other women. Sandy has also written for Wb40 Women Beyond Forty Magazine! It was an absolute delight to chat with her! :>

Today in the Confessional, Sandy chats with Susan Dean, the founder of Dean Publishing and a woman who is passionate about helping others to share their stories or their expertise, guiding people to become published authors.

As the founder of this heart-centred family business, Susan started her career working with disenfranchised youth, and she found the power of storytelling to support them was so beneficial. This is something that led her to coaching and working with John Gray, the author of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

Susan's genuine passion in helping others put their stories out in the world is infectious! Her business is based at Dean Manor, nestled in the beautiful Macedon Ranges in Victoria and if you are ready to share your wisdom, they can help guide you through the entire process - from writing, to editing, to publishing your own book!

It was a joy to chat with Susan, and as she says, it is never too late to be a published author!

In film and television, Brianne most recently starred on the History Channel’s “Six” (2016-18). Brianne was a scene-stealer as “Lena,” a teacher and wife of lead SEAL Team Six commander “Joe Graves” (Barry Sloane). Additional TV credits include Netflix/FOX’s “Lucifer,” Hulu’s “Casual,” FOX’s “Rosewood,” HBO’s “True Blood,” and CBS’ “The Mentalist.”

Recognising that an addiction to love and sex was hindering her life, Brianne started on a journey of healing, self-awareness, and recovery. Now, 12 years in recovery, she has written her Amazon #1 best-selling book Secret Life of a Hollywood Love and Sex Addict. Brianne talks openly and honestly about the struggles with addiction, the stress of societal views and how she broke the silence around her addiction to help others in their journey.

Brianne is also the host of Secret Life podcast which explores true confessions of love, sex, money, food, addiction, and hidden taboo topics that are often hilarious, uplifting, and hopeful. This weekly podcast pulls back the curtain on the deepest, darkest, heartbreaking, and even silly secrets from an eclectic group of guests.

Brianne’s open and honest conversation about her own life encourages others to share their truth and set themselves free.

As an ambulatory wheelchair user with CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome), she brings advocacy and visibility to issues of disability and chronic pain, and the need to normalize mobility aids.

Justine Whitchurch is a personal trainer, author, and recovered alcoholic (now thriving) 49year old Mum of two.

There has never been a more pertinent time to speak a message of hope to all of those caught in the clutches of poor mental and physical health, alcoholism, and addiction during this challenging time of COVID19 and its aftermath.

Every day, people are suffering and self-medicating with alcohol which Justine refers to as the ‘EPIDEMIC that will outlive the PANDEMIC’.

Her writing and blogging experience is centred around self-medicating, alcohol addiction, how exercise was the key to her turn around, mental health maintenance, living without alcohol although being ‘around’ it, and so much more.

Her journey of recovery is detailed in her book 'Sobriety delivered EVERYTHING alcohol promised'.

Justine continues to 'make her mess her message' to provide an example that life without the bottle is beautiful.

accredited to her, and a number of Australian firsts in creating genetic models of

In 2009, Karen’s world would change forever. One week after she retired from the
field of science, she would be faced with the devastating Black Saturday bushfires
that tore through Victorian bushland causing widespread devastation and the
greatest loss of life from fire since colonisation. One hundred and seventy-three
people tragically lost their lives, 414 were injured, more than a million wild and
domesticated animals were lost, and 450,000 hectares of land were burned. Karen’s
Kinglake property destroyed, however one of her horses survived. Nursing the horse
back to health proved more difficult that she first imagined and in 2011 she took my
horse to Equine Assisted Therapy. Through this process, Karen quickly realised that
she needed to heal as much as her beloved horse.

By 2017, Karen qualified as an Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator. The primary
driver of this form of learning is to develop an expanded awareness of firstly self and
then of others. It develops essential life skills which can lead to success in all areas
of life and business, and the purest form of leadership.

Although Karen uses horses, it is very much Human Centred Design. It relies on
being present to fully comprehend everything around you, calm the mind and make
good decisions with empathy, accountability, and teamwork. It also relies on trust.
Today Karen’s business – The Matanya Effect, and Leadership Revolution, work
with Corporate Organisations to small businesses around team building and
leadership skills. She also works with people with low support Autism, some NDIS

Sadly, it’s a fact that all education that fitness professionals undertake is based on the
research of young fit men. Mish is passionate about educating everyone in the fitness
industry in what she calls the “missing education” of women’s health. Mish has created
EVEolution™ an online program to help women navigate exercise – no matter what age or
stage they are at. Mish doesn’t shy away from issues women may face while exercising,
including prolapse and pelvic floor weakness, periods, and perimenopause.

For over 12 years Mish has been writing, presenting, educating, and mentoring fitness
professionals in business, women’s health, and training older adults. Mish created the
Women’s Health and Fitness Summit (2014 – 2019) that brought together Fit Pro’s and Allied Health professionals to start relationships and conversations that are still resonating today.

Mish currently writes online education for Central Queensland University, Fitness Education
Online (Australia), EAT fitness (New Zealand), FITM (Malaysia) and Fit Asia (Singapore). She
has also re-written all the instructor education for the COTA (Council On The Ageing) for
their Living Longer Living Stronger program and the women’s health education for Curves
Australia and New Zealand.

In 2021, Mish was awarded the AUSactive (formerly Fitness Australia) Educator of the Year
award. Mish is a kiwi but lives with her husband and their two pussycats in Melbourne on the land of the Wurundgeri people, Australia.

She has just released her book, We Come with This Place. The collection of recounts which form We Come with This Place, tells something of who the Gudanji are as a community and as a family. The experiences reflect the events and the living of Deb’s family from the very beginning through to colonial times of living in remote Queensland/ Northern Territory, events in the 60’s and 70’s to the present. Importantly, it gives Gudanji context to the horrors of living on cattle stations and remote places, along with the utter joy of family and the nature of trying to maintain those ties and links to, and living with, Country.

We Come with This Place is a remarkable book, as rich, varied, and surprising as the vast
landscape in which it is set. Debra has created an extraordinary mosaic of vivid episodes
that move about in time and place to tell an unforgettable story of Country and people. She
writes beautifully about connection to Country and the ongoing relationships with all kin as
practised by Gudanji people.

Debra calibrates human emotions with honesty and insight, with plenty of dry, down-to-
earth humour. You can feel and smell and see the puffs of dust under moving feet, the ever-
present burning heat, the bright exuberance of a night-time campfire, the emerald flash of a
flock of budgerigars, the journeying wind, the harshness of station life, the welcome scent
of fresh water.

We Come with This Place is deeply personal, a profound tribute to family and the Gudanji
Country to which Debra Dank belongs, but it is much more than that. Here is Australia as it
has been for countless generations, land and people in long-practised balance, and Australia
as it became, but also Australia as it could and should be. The shared history of this
continent is much contested, and this book provides an alternative Australian story.

Today in the confessional, host Sandy Lowres chats with Sally Clarke, the Co-Director of Human Leaders, author, and Burnout expert.

In 2012 Sally was working extremely long hours building a career in commercial law that she had long aspired for. That was until everything changed. While visiting her brother in France, she collapsed at the airport. She was suffering from severe and debilitating burnout. This experience forced Sally to re-evaluate what she really wanted in her life, and after a long period of healing - physically, mentally and spiritually - Sally set about making changes and immersed herself in researching the causes and effects of burnout.

Sally has now written two books -Protect Your Spark: How To Prevent Burnout and Live Authentically, and Relight Your Spark: How to Heal and Evolve after Burnout.

She is also the co-author of the annual Global Burnout Study, which shares extensive knowledge, experience and research with the latest data from a global study (3200+ participants from 30+ countries). The Global Burnout Study is a handbook for leaders and organizations on what burnout is, how it is caused, and what can be done to stop burnout happening. It incorporates practical tips, on-point reflection questions, and actionable steps.

Sally is now the Co-Director of Human Leaders, a peer-to-peer Learning community for human-centred Leadership at all levels.

Sally shares her hard-won wisdom and offers amazing advice based on lived experience and sound research.

When Virginia first read erotic fiction like 50 Shades of Grey, she realised that there was a need for more erotic fiction, based around believable women who took ownership of their sexuality. Virginia wanted to create books that would allow the reader to experience an escape from life while enjoying eroticism.

The Anna Buckley books started with a trilogy centred around the character Christina Maxwell, an ordinary woman who had put her life on hold being the good wife.
She is forced to make drastic changes after the untimely death of her husband.
Her trilogy - Awakening the Lost Woman, Capturing the Lost Woman and Finding the Lost Woman follow the widow on her journey of sexual and emotional awakening.

Based in the tropical paradise of Cairns in far north Queensland, Virginia gives us a sneak look also at her soon to be released book, where she has created a whole new character for readers to follow.

Therese is passionate about marketing partnerships and is the author of SWAP! Marketing
without Money. She created a start up that grew to a business in five countries
manufacturing for Jeep, Sesame Street and United Colors of Benetton using this strategy.
After selling her company, she now works with the big brands creating campaigns that
collaborate with other businesses, with a focus on delighting their mutual customers. She
has helped charities raise funds, a SAAS get seed funding, been an ambassador for LG
Electronics and now works with CSR creating partnerships with interior designers, tradies
and even The Block.

Having walked in the shoes of a small business owner, Therese knows how it feels to do marketing and feeling like you’re wasting your time and your money on ads that don’t work. Plus the isolation and pressure of making all the decisions.

Having a different marketing view by partnering with other brands is a way to increase your visibility to your ideal audience, enhance your credibility in their eyes and within the industry, and get a return on your investment landing you a profit in your business. With the added bonus of working with other business owners with new ideas and energy.
Reaching out to the right brands, collaborating with them, over delivering on their expectations are all achievable. Most small businesses think that unless they have a huge social following they aren’t partnership potential, but that’s not true. Your brand has loads of ways to contribute and you can learn how. It’s a simple R.E.C.I.P.E.

After enduring an abusive childhood, Jewels decided to use her earlier trauma to enter recovery, sexually liberate herself, and enter the competitive world of bodybuilding. At age 49, Jewels placed 3rd at the NPC North American Championships in 2021.

During her book launch tour, Jewels has appeared on over 20 podcasts to discuss a variety of important topics from her memoir including childhood trauma, sexual abuse, alcoholism, shame, LGBTQ, and alternate lifestyles. Jewels has had the honour of being a guest speaker on Keys and Anklets, a podcast focused on separating facts from fiction within often widely misunderstood lifestyles, the Pillow Talk with Venus crowd cast, another podcast that focuses on female-led relationships, and a documentary of alternate lifestyles broadcasted in the UK.

THE MAKING OF A WOMAN is the compelling autobiography of a dynamic female who refused to bow down to the circumstances of her birth. With a prevailing sense of self and survival, Jewels fought a hardscrabble war against the forces and people that populated her life in a way that often crushes others. Jewels is based in Dallas, Texas.

After they met in their mid-30s, Lise and Sarah became a duo with a difference and blasted onto the Australian media scene in 2017. Their genuine friendship led to a national radio show, sell-out events, interviewing well known guests and eventually the launch of FORTY: the podcast equivalent of a little black book for the middle years.

Lise and Sarah have just launching their new book - Forty Favours the Brave.

Before joining forces, Lise and Sarah’s collective backgrounds included PR, communications, copywriting, modelling, and theatre.

Their book explores the questions - How can I be nearing middle age when twenty-six feels like yesterday? After the craziness of my twenties and hard work of my thirties, what’s next? Who am I now that youth is behind me?

These were the questions Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills asked themselves as they entered a milestone decade – their forties. The second phase of life can seem daunting for some. But as we all know, it's much more than declining collagen, hormonal upheavals, and a supposed descent into invisibility. There is power in knowing who you are, ditching ‘nice’ for what’s important, and arriving at the stage in your life when you decide rather than ‘slide’.

In Forty Favours the Brave, Lise and Sarah, along with women from all walks of life, share insightful tales about entering their forties and beyond: the lessons learned, heartbreaks survived, things they wish they’d known, relationship changes, confidence gained … and the surprising, wondrous joy of life in its second act.

Shannah, a Master Life Strategist and Coach, Wellbeing Specialist and keynote speaker, helps people to navigate what really drives us and what ultimately makes us happy.

Her latest book, Plan B, focuses on how we cope with change - something so timely as we navigate Covid-19.

"Whether you have faced a redundancy, dealt with a break-up, been in an accident, lost a loved one, had a health scare, or been impacted by an economic downturn, your ability to navigate through the change process and create an alternative plan will be the key to your future happiness."

Shannah's The Life Plan was a best seller, and in Plan B, she has created a simple yet powerful 4 part guide to give you the confidence to accept, heal, grow and adapt when facing sudden change. Shannah's guide helps you to Respond, Recover, Reset and Radiate!

Shannah has recently launched two Vision Board kits - Career & Confidence and Health & Happiness - which are available in K-mart stores, or via the link below. Shannah understands that when we can visualise where we want to be, or what we want, we can move towards change. Vision boards can be a powerful tool.

With her warm and engaging approach to life, Shannah also runs 4-week Refresh and Reset 2022 courses - details are below!

Shannah, a Master Life Strategist and Coach, Wellbeing Specialist and keynote speaker, helps people to navigate what really drives us and what ultimately makes us happy.

Her latest book, Plan B, focuses on how we cope with change - something so timely as we navigate Covid-19.

"Whether you have faced a redundancy, dealt with a break-up, been in an accident, lost a loved one, had a health scare, or been impacted by an economic downturn, your ability to navigate through the change process and create an alternative plan will be the key to your future happiness."

Shannah's The Life Plan was a best seller, and in Plan B, she has created a simple yet powerful 4 part guide to give you the confidence to accept, heal, grow and adapt when facing sudden change. Shannah's guide helps you to Respond, Recover, Reset and Radiate!

Shannah has recently launched two Vision Board kits - Career & Confidence and Health & Happiness - which are available in K-mart stores, or via the link below. Shannah understands that when we can visualise where we want to be, or what we want, we can move towards change. Vision boards can be a powerful tool.

With her warm and engaging approach to life, Shannah also runs 4-week Refresh and Reset 2022 courses - details are below!

Susie chats about her fabulous book The Secret of Half-Arsed Parenting: Raising kids with half the guilt. The Secret of Half-arsed Parenting is a funny and practical antidote to the extreme stress of
modern parenting. It pokes fun at the unrealistic goals and expectations thrust on parents
today. Parents don’t need any more thrusting - it’s how we got into this mess in the first
place.

The Secret of Half-arsed Parenting offers a way to raise kids with less pressure, less guilt,
less stress and fewer cupcakes baked at midnight. It's not about doing a bad job. It's about recognising that parents don't have to be perfect. What's wrong with toasted sandwiches for dinner? Kids sharing rooms and bathrooms? Saying “no” once in a while?

The key is to know your limits and set the bar low enough so you succeed. As Susie sees it,
if your friends judge you for not baking cupcakes from scratch or wearing slippers to school
pick-up, get new friends (and slippers that look like shoes).

As Susie says: “As a Half-arsed Parent, I don’t care about ‘retaining my sensuality’ and
‘finding my femininity’. I care about retaining my sanity and finding my daughter’s
mouthguard that I paid $80 for.”

Sandy chats with Stephanie Thompson, author of The Day My Vagina Broke and the founder of Bravemumma. In 2015, Stephanie suffered a traumatic childbirth injury her life and her body forever. Stephanie talks openly and honestly about her lived experience of birth trauma, a subject that should be talked about openly, but is often considered taboo. In Part 2 of this episode, Stephanie shares the story of being drawn to Bali, and how leaving her family to go on a cathartic writing retreat there, helped her to write her book and process her lived birth trauma experience. Sandy also opens up and shares the story of the traumatic birth of her first child which did not go as planned.

Stephanie is now on a mission to share her story and start conversations about how we view childbirth, to create understanding and education. Her intention is not to scare those who are pregnant or hoping to conceive, but to help women be more informed.

Her book, The Day My Vagina Broke, is a private exploration into bravery and healing when the impacts of trauma are lifelong and permanent. Stephanie makes the case for moving away from a one-size-fits-many approach to how we inform mothers during the antenatal period and shift towards a model of individualised assessment and care.

Stephanie says, "I wrote it for myself, for my daughter and for all women, everywhere."

Colleen wants to inspire women to lead in their own lives whether that be in boardrooms, organisations, communities or even the home and wants them to believe it is possible to become the leader they always wanted to be in business and in life. Colleen inspires and empowers organisations and leaders to strive for a new era of leadership, one that leads with kindness, trust, self- awareness, and authenticity and one that puts people at the heart of everything they do. She is the author of an amazing book - Leading by Design.

Beyond her amazing career, the most important thing to Colleen is family. Colleen’s sees her most important and influential role in life as wife to Nick, mother of three beautiful humans: Jake, Trent, and Macey. Geelong born and raised, Colleen was brought up in a hard-working business focused family, where there was always a job to do. After working in family businesses from as young as she could remember, Colleen had her first taste of retail at the age of 16. Unbeknownst to her at the time this summer job would be the start of a retail career, ultimately propelling her to become part of the 20% club –as fewer than 20% of Australian CEOs are women.

However, the path wasn’t always smooth sailing. Juggling three small children and a high-profile career, Colleen suffered from burnout in 2007. She decided to throw it away – the job, the career, the leadership – before chance stepped in, and she continued her road towards retail leadership.
After implementing self-care into her life and putting herself first, she discovered the power of these simple yet effective ways to stay on top of your health and your life – and she wants to encourage all women to take care of themselves.

An inspiration to women of all generations, Colleen encourages women globally to have the confidence to believe in themselves, their ability, share their voice and find the superpower within. Colleen has shared her journey as a guest speaker at multiple conferences and events, In 2014, Colleen was awarded the Highly Commended CEO of the Year Award - CEO magazine, which she was also a judge for in 2012.

In April 2021, Colleen launched her book Leader By Design which has been met with rave reviews and immense success.

Today in The Confessional, Sandy chats with Susan Jarvis, the visionary behind The Spicy Boudoir and the host of The Maven's Private Diaries Podcast! Susan is an incredible woman who discovered her extraordinary self by tapping into her sexual energy, beyond the age of 40!

"I have experienced a transformation from a stale and empty life, to one full of love, passion, laughter and yes, bloody good sex. All because I had the guts to try. The guts to step outside my boundaries and the guts not to care what people thought of me.

Susan is passionate about helping other women, and men, embrace their sexuality. In particular, persons aged over 50, people living with a disability and/or chronic illness are not represented in the landscape of ageless and positive sexuality. As she explains, we are alive, and we desire, and deserve sexual fulfilment! The Spicy Boudoir is an on-line business selling sex toys to improve your pleasure.

Susan is passionate about the fact that personal growth and change are achievable at any stage of adult life. Susan shares her journey of finding herself, exploring her sexual self and learning to love herself during perimenopause and beyond. Susan is honest, hilarious and brilliant and we know you will love this episode!

As a writer, Susan's articles have also been featured in Wb40 - Women Beyond Forty Magazine, MamaMia, Sydney Morning Herald and The Daily Mail.

Today in The Confessional, Sandy chats with Sandy Davies, entrepreneur and founder of Happy Pause Menopause Balm. Necessity is often the mother of invention and when Sandy Davies found herself going through peri-menopause, she found herself going through many physical changes, but not getting a lot of answers from doctors. After trying products that she reacted badly to, Sandy founded Happy Pause, an all natural product to help women suffering from dryness caused by menopause, chemotherapy and periods. Sandy, from far north Queensland, donates a portion of her sales to the Melbourne Period Project, founded by Vic Australian of the Year Donna Stolzeberg, and is a kick ass supporter of other women.

For Sue, it took losing someone very dear to her to have an epiphany that she didn’t have to live this way anymore. What she realised was if she was going to be able to support others, she needed to look after herself first.

Sue started her own business - Me Time. Just For Me., born out of a need to do something for herself.

With a focus on self care ideas (and the gorgeous products to facilitate them!), her hope is that Me Time. Just For Me can heal and nourish, empower and inspire other women.

Over her incredible career, she has worked with some of the biggest artists in the world, including AC/DC, Elton John, Santana,  Suzi Quatro, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, INXS and Lenny Kravitz.

Tana and her unique position in the music industry have been included in several books – most recently a chapter in Stuart Coupe’s book, Roadies, which confirmed her as the first female roadie. But now it’s time for Tana to tell her story, in her own words. Her Memoir, LOUD, is out now, published through HarperCollins Australia (in both print and audio) and tells of the joys and struggles faced as a girl out on the road on her own in the wild and woolly days that created this industry of music.

Tana currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

As a teenage run away from Brisbane, Tana didn't join the circus - instead she joined the music industry. An adventure that would take her on a 30 + year...
Over her incredible career, she has worked with some of the biggest artists in the world, including AC/DC, Elton John, Santana,  Suzi Quatro, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, INXS and Lenny Kravitz.

Tana and her unique position in the music industry have been included in several books – most recently a chapter in Stuart Coupe’s book, Roadies, which confirmed her as the first female roadie. But now it’s time for Tana to tell her story, in her own words. Her Memoir, LOUD, is out now, published through HarperCollins Australia (in both print and audio) and tells of the joys and struggles faced as a girl out on the road on her own in the wild and woolly days that created this industry of music.

Tana currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

Kathy Barron is the host and producer of the successful California-based podcast Women Who Sarcast, and she joins Sandy in the Confessional as our special guest to chat about her exciting new venture - the launch of Women Who Podcast Magazine!

As the Editor-in-Chief of Women Who Podcast Magazine, Kathy is building a podcast empire by creating the very first magazine solely highlighting female podcasters and sharing the stories of the women behind the podcasts. As podcasts become more popular, female hosted podcasts are gaining popularity in what was previously a male dominated genre. Women who Podcast Magazine is a mag for those of us who podcast, but it also for all fans of podcasts! With hints and tips, and fascinating stories, it's a great magazine that is shining a spotlight on women.

Sandy was so honoured to be the cover girl for the debut issue of the quarterly mag, Women who Podcast, and excited to chat about being a cover girl for the first time at 51! They also talk about why representation of women matters and how publications like Women Who Podcast and Women Beyond Forty are so important!

Please welcome change maker and advocate Natalie Walker.

When Natalie Walker was in her early twenties and not long married, it was revealed that her husband had been accessing images of child sexual abuse on his computer. When the internet was still in its pre-Google days, these horrendous crimes were so underground that they were not even fully understood by law enforcement agencies.

Natalie Walker is the founder and CEO of PartnerSpeak, a multi faceted organisation offering peer support and advocacy for traumatised non-offending partners and families of perpetrators of on-line child sexual abuse. Natalie’s lived experience saw her marriage end and she soon discovered there was no support to help her through this traumatic time. In 2012, Natalie founded PartnerSpeak when she discovered that many non-offending partners were often blamed, shunned and punished for the crimes of their partners. This also extended to their children.

In 2017 Natalie was announced as a recipient of the Churchill Fellowship for her work in exploring peer support as a trauma-informed response to the families of offenders. Natalie also sits on two national working groups as part of the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation.

In 2020, the team changed somewhat as twin sisters Jenny and Kristy became the primary investigators for the team. 

Both Jenny and Kristy have always had a fascination with the paranormal, and small impromptu investigations occurred before the formal organization of the team. While based mostly in central Florida, the sisters have traveled across the USA in order to investigate interesting locations.  Kristy who holds an advanced PHD approaches the investigations from a research perspective. 
Paranormal investigations and education are just parts of the services Soul Sisters provide. They are passionate about treating each investigation location with the respect and the reverence that it deserves for its place in history.

The National Homeless Collective (NHC) is a grassroots Australian organisation that helps people affected by homelessness, domestic violence and social disadvantage.

A mother of five boys and a grandmother of two, Donna has lived experience of overcoming homelessness and hardship. Under Donna’s direction, NHC has created six sub-charities targeting different issues – Period Project, School Project, Plate Up Project, Sleeping Bags for Homelessness, and Secret Women's Business. It also runs Kala Space, an op shop employing women affected by domestic abuse or homelessness.

Donna’s generosity and resourcefulness have provided practical solutions in Australia’s most recent crises. This includes helping women to safely escape homelessness, people affected by bushfires, or those locked down in the Melbourne towers during COVID-19.

Sally Leydon, has been searching for her mother, Marion Barter, for 23 years. Marion is a missing person, much loved mother and a celebrated teacher. Marion's disappearance is the subject of the hugely popular Channel 7 Podcast, The Lady Vanishes, now with over 8 million downloads. Host Bryan Seymour and Executive Producer Alison Sandy have helped Sally to gain incredible traction regarding information and clues about Marion's sudden disappearance. Along with a group of volunteer super sleuths around the world, they edge closer to unravelling this unsolved case.

Sally joins me in the confessional to chat about her mum, her unwavering quest to find answers and how this experience, and the later loss of her brother, Owen, has impacted her life. This case has so many twists, turns and leads - from international travel to cults, name changes and mysterious untouched bank accounts.

Marion, also known as Florabella Natalia Marion Remakel, is on the Australian National Missing Persons register. This is an ongoing investigation. If you have any knowledge of Marion's whereabouts, or have any information about her disappearance or beyond, please contact www.crimestoppers.com.au

She was a model, a wife and a mum and in 2015 she was diagnosed with Stage 2 Rectal Cancer. She underwent treatment for a year, but in the course of the treatment she almost lost her life due to a bowel perforation. She had life saving surgery which also involved a colostomy bag. She has kept her stoma, affectionally called "Toodles". Surviving childhood trauma, and then cancer, Kimberly made a decision to grab life by the horns and live it loud! She continues to be a model and has been the featured model in Melbourne Fashion Week (Australia) as well as being a model is two separate book projects on body image. She is a best selling international author, a motivational speaker and has won two awards for her advocacy, breaking down stigmas around stoma/colostomy and cancer awareness. Kimberly has also taken up burlesque and is performing across the USA as well as internationally. Kimberly is beautiful inside and out and I'm so thrilled she joined us in the confessional.
