    Cake Queen Katherine Sabbath on Big Creative Swings, the Vulnerability It Takes to Be Seen and Why She Never Lets Fear Hold Her Back

    ⚠️ Content note: This conversation includes discussion of pregnancy loss. If this is a tender topic for you, please take care while listening. Katherine Sabbath is the effervescent baker, author and creative force behind some of the most extraordinary cakes you’ll ever see. Before the cookbooks, the television appearances and the hundreds of thousands of people following her work, Katherine was a high school teacher in Campbelltown, baking cakes for her students as a way of making them feel seen. That simple act of generosity became the foundation for an entirely new career. But this conversation goes far beyond cake. We talk about finding the courage to face your fears, exploring the financial realities of backing creative ideas, her relationship with risk, and her experience of carrying grief while continuing to show up publicly with joy.  Katherine truly is as good as they come.

    Illustrator Adriana Picker on Nurturing a Creative Life, Daily Joy and Trusting Yourself to Figure It Out

    Adriana Picker is one of Australia's most beloved illustrators and the best-selling author of several books - including Petal, a stunning coffee table book of botanical illustration that thousands of copies around the world. With an upbringing in NSW’s Blue Mountains and the Hunter Valley, Adriana has been surrounded by nature and botanicals since her early childhood and she talks beautifully about her formative years shaped in her grandmother’s garden. After moving to Sydney to study at the Collegue of Fine Arts, she became an intern for acclaimed costumer designer Catherine Martin - her illustrations for the film Australia were shown at the Oscars. She followed that with The Great Gatsby, then stepped out entirely on her own. Her folio today spans commercial and editorial illustration, murals, exhibition work, and several books — including Petal, which hasn’t left my coffee table since it came out. She came to our conversation 31 weeks pregnant and I was incredibly grateful to speak to her at this transformative time. In this conversation, we explore what Covid completely changed about her relationship to ambition, how she lives with hyperfocus and what she's learned to do with it, what it means to structure a whole life around appreciating beauty, and what happens to your creative identity when you're about to become a mother.

    Interior Designer Chloe Matters on Burning Out, Starting Over and Rebuilding a Life on Her Own Terms

    Chloe Matters is the founder and creative director of Matters and Made, one of Sydney's most distinctive interior design studios. Chloe came into the world with an innate confidence - a willingness to back herself and simply go for it. Which is exactly what makes her honesty in this conversation so compelling. She's remarkably candid about what it felt like to lose that confidence. She launched Matters and Made when her second child was just six months old and her first had only recently turned one. What followed wasn't the version of success she'd imagined. There was burnout, the end of her marriage, and a period where her confidence was completely shaken. So she rebuilt. Learning to trust herself again, to work differently, and to define success on her own terms. In this conversation, we explore the role our homes play in regulating the nervous system, how her relationship with work has evolved, and the non-negotiables that now shape the way she lives, leads and designs.

    Ali Handley is the founder of Bodylove Pilates with four studios across Sydney, Bali on the horizon and a community of women who are deeply, genuinely devoted to what she has built. Ali didn't find her calling immediately. She started in PR and media before discovering Pilates in New York, where she specialised in prenatal and postnatal work. She came home to Sydney in 2018 and opened her first studio a month after having her third child.

    Model and writer Jessica Vander Leahy on Building a Career That Doesn't Box You In, Conscious Balance and Why Boundaries Are an Act of Compassion

    Jessica Leahy is a journalist, model and author and one of the most joyfully multi-hyphenate women I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with. Raised in Papua New Guinea before moving to Sydney, Jess built an incredible career across two worlds - as a journalist working across Australia's leading women's publications, while simultaneously building a modelling career with Bonds, RM Williams, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. Jess built her modelling career at a time when there were very few women who looked like her in Australian fashion. She didn't just succeed in spite of that - she used her platform to make sure more women like her could. She is also the author of Loved People, Love People - a gorgeous children's book about self-love. In this chat, we talk about the portfolio career before it had a name, what it means to be malleable in a world that wants you to stay in your lane, and why advocating for your own boundaries is the most important thing you can do.

    Lucky Dragon's Stephanie Feher on Embracing Every Setback, the Dinner Party That Became a Career and What Happens When You Finally Go All In

    Stephanie Feher is the founder of Lucky Dragon Supper Club, author, content creator, and someone who has built something genuinely original in a space that didn't exist before she created it. Stephanie grew up in an Australian-Chinese-Hungarian household, and that mix of cultures runs through everything she makes. She studied music, taught briefly, wound up in digital and tech - and after Covid started filming her dinner parties just for the love of it. Lucky Dragon grew from there, slowly and on the side, into a community of people who wanted to cook and gather the way she did. She built it while life kept interrupting. The redundancies weren't the plan but they became the permission she needed. And then everything happened at once and she went all in. In this conversation we talk about building something without a blueprint, the shift from perfectionism to a pursuit of excellence and why the dinner table has always been where she feels most herself.

    Samantha Wills on Separating What You Do From Who You Are, Choosing Integrity Over Urgency and What Comes After Letting Go

    Samantha Wills is a bestselling author, creative strategist and one of Australia's most compelling entrepreneurs. At 21, Samantha launched her self-titled jewellery brand from a kitchen table in Port Macquarie. Within a few years she had offices across the globe, the New York Times declared her a Breakout Star, Forbes took notice, she made history as the first Australian jewellery designer to appear on QVC. And then, after 15 years and at the height of her success, she closed it all down. What Samantha did next - and why - is the real story. Letting go of something you've built your entire identity around is one of the hardest and most honest things a person can do, and yet it has given Samantha a clarity and a purpose that feels even bigger than what came before. She is now a bestselling author and everything she does is in service of the same thing - helping women build creative careers from true alignment. In this conversation, we talk about what happens when the thing you built becomes the thing you need to leave behind and what it takes to trust yourself enough to do it.
