    S7, Ep 49 - Carolina Guthmann: Rousing Sicily’s Embroidresses

    Earlier this year, Judy chanced upon meeting Carolina Guthmann, who, with her husband (former Italian television journalist Piero di Pasquale), are the creative forces behind Manima World in Palermo; a digital atelier of fine, hand embroidered home linens and ready to wear. If there are two words that make my heart beat faster, they are hand embroidered. When Carolina told me it was her mission to preserve and empower the embroideresses of Sicily, I was in. Listen to Carolina discuss the history of Sicilian embroidery, her big career change and her passion for working with local women sustaining centuries-old skills, on Unpaused now.

    S7, Ep 48 - Margot McKinney: If Not Now When

    Margot McKinney is a fourth generation jeweller who has built a global fine jewellery empire. Having hit rock bottom in her early forties, Margot made a fine comeback by backing her own belief that if she liked a piece of jewellery, even if it was shamelessly bold, others would surely follow. And follow they did.  She's now the second biggest supplier of jewellery to Neiman Marcus, the biggest luxury department store chain in the US. Recognising both her talent and success as a local girl made good, she has just closed a blockbuster retrospective of the pieces that made her career staged here at the Museum of Brisbane. Not surprisingly, it was a sellout from the day it opened. If there's one thing I've learned about Margot, it's that she's bold in everything she does. Listen now to Margot on Unpaused.

    S7, Ep 47 - Lara Keating: Let Them Eat Viennoiserie

    At the end of 2006, a French patisserie bakery and cafe called Choquette opened in Brisbane. And with it a small slice of French epicurean life began to take root. Proprietor Lara Keating's dream to create an authentic French cafe experience drew deeply on the influence of her French mother, Francoise. The coffee was great and the pain-au-raisin glorious. Before long, she was partnering with the baker to set up a second standalone wholesale bread business. Everything was humming along nicely when she was hit. Not just with the pandemic, but with a truly biblical flood.

    S7, Ep 45 - Catherine Walker: The Humanitarian at Home

    Catherine Walker is the most modest of success stories; retired but by no means idle. I find her happily sequestered in an early Tasmanian farmhouse in picturesque Longford. But it wasn't that long ago that she was being pulled into lead Australia's humanitarian efforts in the Solomon Islands, in Afghanistan and witnessing heartbreaking famine firsthand in North Korea as Australia's minister on the World Food Program. Catherine worked with Australia’s official aid program for twenty-two years and held senior development roles overseas, including in Timor Leste as the Chief of Donor Coordination with the United Nations and in Solomon Islands as the Development Coordinator with the Regional Assistance Mission (RAMSI). Beneath all this though is the beating heart of a modern day Georgian enthusiast with an eye for what's exquisite, valuable, and collectible.

    S7, Ep 44 - Carol Westmore: A Career Evolution

    Carol Westmore is a very capable woman. A mathematician by training, she exudes order and authority. However, Carol has found herself immersed in an adventure very much of her own making; the restoration of the artist John Glover's house and farm near Deddington (40kms from Launceston) in Tasmania, Australia. In embracing that undertaking; enormous, costly and full of the usual joys and setbacks, she unwittingly began to engineer her reinvention as chaperone of Glover Cottage and keeper of the Glover flame. A career evolution, which is still unfolding in the most intriguing ways. Listen now.

    S6, Ep 43 - Danielle Alvarez: Leaving Fred's: The Sequel

    For 8 years, Danielle Alvarez presided at Fred's on Oxford Street, Sydney, over a stylish open kitchen and hearth, roasting pedigreed lamb legs and chickens, in full view of the fortunate few to have secured a booking. And, if Oxford Street was a long way from the Cuban immigrant community in which Danielle grew up in Miami, Florida, the imprint of that exotic childhood, and her grounding in the pioneering farm-to-table ethos of the US west coast restaurant culture of the 2000s, all found their mark. She has stopped to catch her breath, putting the finishing touches to the manuscript of a new cookbook, her second. To hear Danielle as she works through what began as a pause, but seems to be burgeoning into a new chapter, listen now.

    S6, Ep 42 - Naomi Bulger: A Writer Rights Herself

    She writes to paint… or perhaps she paints to write. Either way, Naomi Bulger is a woman who has both sides of her brain hot-wired. And to think it all began with making rural commodities sound sexy.

    S6, Ep 41 - Eleanor Roosevelt Revisited

    Eleanor Roosevelt conducted a parallel life beyond the view of most of the American people, despite occupying the most prominent role for a woman in the country at that time. She maintained two different apartments in Washington Square in New York before and after the White House years and thereby opened the way to a host of new friends and renewed purpose. ER’s reinvention was a remarkable one, sparked, on one reading, by physically removing herself from the constraints of husband and family and surrounding herself with a coterie of women who rejoiced in the intellectual, the cultural and the political. In doing so, she herself was transformed.
