  • Podcast 134 Rochelle Courtenay | From Period Poverty to Purpose: How One Woman's Mission is Changing Lives

    Podcast 134 Rochelle Courtenay | From Period Poverty to Purpose: How One Woman's Mission is Changing Lives
    Nov 12 2024
    Join us for an inspiring conversation with Rochelle Courtenay, founder of Share The Dignity - the groundbreaking Australian charity fighting period poverty and supporting women in crisis. In this powerful episode, Rochelle shares how reading about women using socks and newspapers for menstruation led her to create an organisation that's now collected over 5 million period products and successfully advocated for the removal of GST on period products.

    Learn about Share The Dignity's annual "It's in the Bag" campaign running November 15th - December 1st 2024 at Bunnings stores nationwide. This initiative provides essential personal care items to women and girls experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or facing crisis. Rochelle shares touching stories of how a simple bag of necessities and a heartfelt note can provide hope and dignity to someone in desperate need.

    Discover how you can make a difference by donating a bag filled with essential items, volunteering, or spreading awareness. Whether it's a bag for women, teenagers, or moms with babies - every contribution helps someone in your local community. As Rochelle says, "You never know who that bag is going to go to and you never know the impact."

    Join the movement and help Share The Dignity reach their goal of 85,000 bags this year. Drop off your donation at any Bunnings store and, as Rochelle suggests, "Drop a bag and grab a snag!"

    Oct 22 2024
    Welcome to The Good Girl Confessional Podcast! I’m your host, Sandy Lowres, and today we’re diving into the realities of hustle culture, burnout, and the search for balance with a very special guest, Danielle Colley.

    Danielle is a life coach, speaker, and the author of the new book The Chocolate Bar Life.

    After being fired from a high-profile role at The Australian Women’s Weekly, Danielle found herself on the fast track to burnout. But instead of spiraling, she found a new way to live—a life that embraces a Mars Bar mentality: a delicious balance of work, rest, and play.

    In today’s episode, Danielle shares her powerful story of how getting fired helped her break free from the toxic hustle mentality and reclaim her life. We’ll discuss her journey from stress and overwhelm to joy and balance, and dive into practical tips for beating burnout.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, overworked, or just plain exhausted by the grind, this conversation is for you! So grab a cup of tea, or a block of chocolate, sit back, and enjoy the wisdom of Danielle Colley on The Good Girl Confessional!

  • #132 Anna Johnston - Author | The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife

    #132 Anna Johnston - Author | The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife
    Oct 1 2024
    This week we are thrilled to welcome debut author Anna Johnston as our special guest.

    Anna’s first novel, The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife, is a charming and heartwarming tale inspired by her best friend and grandfather, Fred, and her time working in aged care. After Fred was diagnosed with dementia, Anna made the life-changing decision to step away from her medical degree and join the nursing home where Fred had moved, in order to spend more precious time with him.

    Through this experience, she became a passionate advocate for positive aging—a theme that beautifully shines through in her novel. While The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife tells the fictional story of Fred accidentally swapping places with the much grumpier Bernard at the nursing home, the book is filled with love, care, and compassion that is rooted in Anna’s real-life journey with Fred.

    In this episode, host Sandy Lowres talks with Anna about her transition from medicine to writing, her advocacy for positive aging, and how her grandfather’s legacy inspired this touching debut. You won’t want to miss this heartfelt conversation!
