The Millennial Crisis

EP. 59: Your past doesn’t define who you are today | Liv

This week I chatted with Liv who is an ex-evangelical who opens up about how she grew from her past perceptions of the world and gained a new perspective and outlook on life.

 

This conversation is something a lot of us will be able to relate to, we discussing shame or guilt we can feel for past actions or thoughts, how community is a very powerful tool and sometimes removing yourself from yours is the only way you can understand who you truly are.

I hope you listen to this discussion with an open mind, reflect on yourself and leave knowing you’re not alone in your growth journey.

EP. 58 Moving through the sh*t, to become an “overnight success” | Darcy Keely

This week I chatted with Darcy Keely founder of Hairy Original a clothing brand and creative movement that focuses on colour, comfort and community all while trying to give back to creatives.

Darcy’s story is one familiar to many of us as Millennials, and showcases the up and downs of our 20s - it really do be bumpy out here.

We discuss how he went from being kicked out of his studio apartment & university, couch surfing, to getting a “legitimate” corporate job and realising a “prestigious”, “stable” job at a “big name” company wasn’t for him.

 

This chat is super candid and I know so many of you will relate and take inspiration from his story, in particular, if you are feeling stuck in where you are right now and need a little kick to go back to doing something you used to love & have recently lost.

EP 57. It’s ok to be 3 Dimensional | Elouise Eftos

This week I chat with Elouise Eftos, Australia’s first Attractive comedian. You may know her from one of her many viral videos online including her recent Mandy one of the rich mums from the St Josephs scandal or her re-enactment of the Melbourne Hotel Quarantine fuck up… But Elouise is more than just a comedian who makes videos online.

 

This episode we talk about the struggles of being a multihyphenate creative, not wanting to be put in a box and wanting to dip your toe into many different ponds, we discuss the struggles women in comedy face and why people have such an issue with confident women through the persona she has on stage, as well as what it’s like to have an ethnic background and have a LOUD career.

This is such an amazing conversation especially for any women who feel they are held back from the judgment they experience not only from society but from their family/community, this is a real and raw conversation about the back and forth pull we have with ourselves about the values we grew up with and the people we are becoming.

 

I hope this episode encourages you to get one step closer to exploring things you’ve always wanted to.

EP 56. The importance of being authentically you | Dane

This week I chat with Dane, a Content Marketer who moved to Melbourne from the UK. Dane’s story is a roller coaster ride and shows how just because you choose to live life authentically doesn’t mean things are going to be easy.

 

Dane shares his story of transitioning from female to male, how he ended up living in a glamping tent during lockdown and how in his 30s he has began to come into his own and that it’s never too late to make a change.

He will inspire you to be unapologetically yourself, push through the hardships and reflect on who you currently are and who you want to be.
