This week I chatted with Jordan Lomax, an experienced Digital Marketing Manager & graphic designer. She has worked with brands including Spotify, Shopbop & General Assembly.
During my chat with Jordan we discussed how embracing who she is and what makes her unique has allowed her to have a flourishing and diverse career. From working as a freelancer, growing her own business, raising capital for a platform she co-founded and teaching workshops.
This is a brilliant episode for anybody who needs a little kick of confidence and inspiration that it is OK to experiment with your career and important to embrace who you are and leverage your networks!

This week I chatted with my friend and friend of the podcast Ryan Cheng, who is our only re-occurring guest so if you haven't listened to any of our other episodes with Ryan go back to Season 1 and have a li'l listen!
Ryan & I chat about our semi-new lives as "freelancers", although both of us have done the "freelance" life before and actually started our careers there, and then converted to a more traditional 9-5 life until covid hit and we found ourselves back on the freelance grind.
We discuss our journey of understanding what working for yourself looks like to us, how each person's journey is different and why life is now more important to us than work. As recovering hustle vultures this is BIG 😂.
Ep 65. Challenge: Take time to reflect and write down what kind of lifestyle goals or ideal life you want to live and see how you can find work that fits that + bonus if a call to action comes out of that take the first step & DO IT!

This week I chatted with Sarah Hawley, founder of Growmotely, mother, entrepreneur, alternative life liver & dead set legend.
In this episode we discuss how she has lead so many lives over her time, from career changes to personal relationship growth and mindset. If you’re feeling stuck in the way your life is currently going this episode is sure to give you the inspo you need to embrace change and not be afraid to experiment even when other people don’t understand it.
Challenge: Take time to ask yourself what am I afraid of right now?
Either take a conscious 15-30min out of your day (phone free to do it) or ask yourself the question everyday for 7-days.
Here’s a TedTalk by Tim Ferris on Fear Setting - A technique Demi has used in the past to do this exact exercise: https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_ferriss_why_you_should_define_your_fears_instead_of_your_goals?language=en

This week I chatted with Clara a Brand Strategist living her best life in Bali, but her life didn’t always look like this. Clara originally from Spain was a listener of the podcast and had the exact same feeling that many of us have.
You know, lost, confused as to why our lives are miserable and feeling overworked. And one day she decided to pursue a dream, she knew it was going to take some time but what did she have to lose? And what was the alternative?
In this episode Clara shares her journey to becoming a digital nomad, it is real, honest, and tells you exactly what you’re in for when it comes to changing things up. She’s honestly one of the most down-to-earth and knowledge-filled guests I’ve had on the podcast so I hope you enjoy listening to this ep as much as I enjoyed making it.

This week I chatted with Jesse MacKenzie who lives and builds tiny homes, giving us a look into how he went from a "conventional" to an "unconventional" way of living.
This conversation should act as a reminder that nobody is born/or destined to live a certain lifestyle and it is a journey to discover what you want to do and how you want to live your life.
I hope this conversation inspires you to explore your curiosities, connect with new people and ideas.

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.

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.

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.
