Two Gippsland Powerhouses are together for one podcast!
Let’s talk!

Last week I did a live TV cross with the amazing Ryan Jon. My segment went for ten minutes and we spoke about personal branding and the huge failure rates for small businesses… To be honest, it was amazing he could reign me into only speaking for 10 minutes.

I would get this question in my inbox at least five times a week. And usually, it is a pretty a quick question.

But as we build our profiles – more and more people just need to ask a ‘quick question’.

Welcome to day 5827 of quarantine.

If you’ve found it difficult working through this time, I’m not surprised. We are after all in the middle of a pandemic.

This quarantine isn’t about you. It’s not about me either.
Today is the 55th day of me being in quarantine and using social distancing methods-  and I will be the first to say I am OVER IT. I moved to a new city at the very start and the only thing I’ve seen is a few running trails, the supermarket, some back streets when I got lost and one Kmart.

But yesterday I had a biz meeting with my amazing friend, let’s call her Katherine. It’s her name so this works – and of course like everyone else is was a hot topic of conversation. We talked about our friends who have lost income and had improv and acting gigs cancelled. She sighed and said – well ‘I guess we need to look at the positives.’ And she is completely right.

Quite often in our careers we feel the need to be more then we are.  To say we know more than we do, it is this underlying need we get to want to feel accepted.  Jemimah and I spoke about this and how we all need to accept and embrace “our lane” in life.  This doesn’t mean that that is where you are going to have to stay or “drive” forever but being authentic with yourself and your audience is key.

It’s been one year since my marriage ended and to be honest, this has been one of the absolute best but equally one of the worst years of my life. This polarity has made for a real rollercoaster which included a night so fun that I now have a lifetime ban from the Viper Room in Los Angeles. But, I’ve also ugly cried in the bread section in Coles. See? Rollercoaster.

So I’m in Queensland and I’m sleeping on a friends blow up mattress. It’s been raining and its humid and my hair look like a woolly alpaca and it’s the best thing I could have done for myself.

I’m a country girl, through and through and like most of Australia, I’m feeling absolutely helpless this month watching my country be ravaged by fire.

Like most people around Australia, it’s been hard to sit and know you can’t help and I’ve seen dozens of conflicting messages about needing help.
