Hey Poddy Fam!

I’m slowly easing back into work this week, taking it easy before diving into full gear. If you’re still in chill mode, don’t stress—take the break you need, and let’s smash out 2025 together!

This is my final repost episode before we return to regular programming next Tuesday.

To kick off 2025, I’m bringing back one of my favourite episodes featuring my very first guests: the incredible Don and Matilda from STAX. They’ve built an amazing brand in a crowded space, and my favourite moment from this episode is when Don opened up about the time he thought he might lose it all—it still gives me chills every time I listen.

I’ll see you back next week with fresh episodes and an incredible line-up of guests for 2025.

Happy New Year Poddy Fam!

I’m currently on a well-deserved break (because, wow, 2024 was a marathon), so I’m reposting one of my favourite episodes.

This week’s feature is my conversation with Cassey Ho, aka Blogilates, the founder of Poplex. Cassey is an incredible creator with nearly 20 million followers across her socials. Her product storytelling is unmatched, and in this episode, she gets real, opening up about the challenges she’s faced along the way. It’s a must-listen!

Stay tuned for another favourite repost next week, and we’ll be back with fresh episodes on 14 January.

Merry Christmas Poddy Fam!

Since I’m on a family holiday in Noosa, I’m revisiting one of my favourite episodes! This week’s guest is Lizzie Waley, founder of Sundae Body. She already had an incredible business at the time of filming, but since then it’s exploded—she’s even gotten into Walmart!

Lizzie is one of the nicest people ever and one of the many amazing friends I’ve made through this podcast. There’ll be two more favourite reposts over the next two weeks, but we’ll be back to regular programming on 14 January with some incredible guests lined up for 2024.

Wow, what a year it’s been! In this special episode, I’m looking back at the year that was. From the biggest trends and pop culture moments to the lessons I’ve learnt along the way, we’re covering it all.

Plus, I’m sharing my personal tips for self-reflection and focusing on the positives—because let’s be real, we could all use a little more of that in our lives.

So grab a glass of bubbly, kick back, and let’s wrap up the year together. You won’t want to miss this one!

I’m welcoming back a very good friend of mine. As soon as I decided to change up the format, I was like, I need to get Han back on cos we can have some fun. Hannah is the founder of Peppermint Grove and Moss St Fragrances - which most people have at their homes - I’m always so proud every time I see it, which is like literally everywhere. 

Hannah’s built it to a $40 million business and also vertically integrated into a perfumery business which is seeing phenomenal growth. 

We're uploading our episodes on YouTube now - so if you want to watch these conversations, head on over!
