I recently came across a quote on Instagram that read:

"Fall in love with taking care of yourself, in mind, body and spirit."

How true is this! Nobody can make us feel happy until we're happy with ourselves first. Only then can we open our hearts and minds to finding our ideal partner. It's just the way it is.

Somebody who knows all about this is a woman who's about to reveal her entire life on national television, and all for a good cause. Her name is Emma Wynne - a radio announcer and youth worker based in Melbourne.

Emma is one of four women taking part in a new Australian-based reality TV show called The Single Wives. This time next week, it will premiere on Channel 7.

So what is it all about? Essentially it's a dating show which highlights the dramatic, emotional and romantic transformation of these four women - Sheridan, Sunnie, Nikki and of course Emma, who are all searching for their second chance at love post-divorce.

Throughout the show, they're coached by world-renowned Life & Dating Coach, Matthew Hussey, all whilst being supported by their Host, radio broadcaster, Fifi Box. It's a reality TV show like no other.

Today on The Promenade With Me Podcast you're going to hear Emma's story to date.

It's fair to say that Emma is one incredible 28-year-old woman who's been on one huge relationship rollercoaster. However, since being on the show, her whole life has been transformed for the better. And so...

In this interview Emma and I chat about:

- Matthew Hussey and his incredible role on the show
- How The Single Wives is going to inspire women across the country
- What it's like filming a reality TV show
- Emma's story and faith journey
- Matthew Hussey's dating advice, no matter your age
- How we can all become stronger and wiser

Enjoy!

Kolkata, India is about a 15-hour direct flight from Melbourne. And when I think of Kolkata, the first thing that pops up is Mother Teresa, the world-renowned Catholic nun and missionary. Mother Teresa's humanitarian efforts in Kolkata across the 20th century won her a Noble Prize and in 2016 she was canonised as a Saint, 19 years after her passing.

Mother Teresa throughout her life did so many wonderful things. One of her most famous quotes is, "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier."

And that's exactly what Kristi Van Es, Founder and CEO of Offspring does on a daily basis. Offspring is a centre based in Kolkata (then Calcutta), India that provides a holistic approach in caring for women once they're released from the bondage of human trafficking. Kristi and her team offer specialised vocational training and support, so that each participant feels empowered and ready for employment at the conclusion of the program. And this is just the start.

Kristi is an incredible Aussie with a huge heart. She truly is a modern-day Mother Teresa.

In this special episode of The Promenade With Me Podcast, I chat to Kristi about her own personal journey, how she started her social enterprise Offspring, the dark cloud that is human trafficking, how she's learnt to live sustainably, the importance of self-defence and how we can all live a more confident and empowered life.

So join me as I take a walk with Kristi Van Es. Enjoy!

So many of us are starting up side hustles whilst studying or working. It's all the rage.
Why is this so? We can definitely thank social media marketing. It's not only easy to use, it's cheap, making it easier for us to get our brand out there and seen by the right people.
One industry that continuously evolves with technology is fashion. Last week I sat down with an amazing Melbourne-based fashion designer. Her name is Santina Nicole Ponte, and her garments are both timeless and sophisticated.
Santina established her fashion label, 'Santina Nicole' two years ago and since then has launched over 5 incredible collections. Her designs have received lots of accolades and have been proudly worn by some of Australia's most recognisable faces.
What makes Santina's story even more amazing is that she's only 25 years old. Yep. 25. In this Leap & Reap episode on The Promenade With Me Podcast, Santina shares some of her biggest business and life lessons. We also discuss her career journey, how she started up her business, the power of PR and social media marketing, how to recruit the right people, and what's to come in both her business as well as the online fashion world.
If you're wanting to hear an amazing career story, expand your business knowledge or would love to work in the fashion industry, then this interview is for you. Enjoy!
