Today we are joined by Manifesting superhero Zoe Marshall to celebrate the launch of her new platform “Ariise” , a place where we can learn to manifest and co-create a life we deserve. Zoe had been harnessing the power of manifestation behind closed doors for years before she decided to take her knowledge and share it with the world! She has combined her own spirituality and lived experience in conduction with neuroscience to help people on their own personal development journey. 

In this episode Kath and Zoe explore their own journeys with spirituality, the art of manifesting as well as debunk and discuss a lot of the misconceptions around the topic. It’s heartfelt, light and hopefully a little informative.

Today we are joined by Olympic Gold Medalist and founder of the Female Athlete Project, Chloe Dalton. This discussion is centered around the landscape of women in sport, where it stands and what needs to be done. “If the share of women's sports media coverage continues to grow at the current rate (1% per year) there won't be gender equal coverage until 2048”Chloe was not prepared to wait, so she launched “The Female Athlete Project” spotlighting the stories and achievements of women in sport. With exponential growth since it started, the need is there. 

They further explore the barriers to equality within women's sport and what we are going to do about it!

Today we are joined by one of Kath’s nearest and dearest, Jet Dwyer. Jet is a Melbourne based artist, curator and educator. Their most recent work “Queer Archival” was described as an archive of portraiture and video footage of Melbourne’s queers, inspired by the historic preservation work of the Australian Queer Archives (AQua), at the Victorian Pride Centre in St Kilda. Kath would describe them as “one of the smartest people I know” . 

They sit down to chat about Queer visibility sometimes being a trap, explore the nieces** of transitioning, representation of trans folk in the media as well as many tangents about feelings vs thinking… think of it like those chats you have in the smokers with her bestie on a night out. Bootleg therapy!

Today we dive deep into grief with our resident psychologist Chris Cheers. We are no strangers to grief, if you have experienced loss on any level you have most likely found yourself in the throws of grief against your will. Although universal, it can be very challenging. Especially if we don’t have the tools to work through it.

Kath shares their recent experience with death of a loved one and asks Chris all their burning questions on moving through it. Aimed to hopefully help anyone else experiencing loss navigate it healthily.
