    One Smile at a Time: Finding Belonging with Sally Pymer

    Sometimes the smallest gestures hold the greatest power. For Sally Pymer, a smile became more than an expression, it became a movement. After being diagnosed with a chronic lung condition, Sally channelled her energy into exercise, only to discover that addiction doesn't always come via drugs and alcohol. For her true healing came not from pushing harder, but from softening inward. In this heartfelt conversation, Sally opens up about the journey from struggle to self-acceptance and how meditation, self-discovery, and tools like Human Design helped her reconnect to her body and spirit. Together, we explore what it really means to belong, how to embrace ourselves in every season, and why change always begins with the smallest steps. A reminder that even in our most fragile moments, we hold the power to bring light- to ourselves and to others- one smile at a time.

    The Accidental Author: Resilience in Motion with Mark Berridge

    Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn that changes everything. For Mark Berridge, a devastating cycling accident didn’t just break bones, it shattered the path he thought he was on. Forced to relearn how to walk, Mark uncovered a deeper truth about resilience: it’s often forged quietly, long before we realise we’ll need it. In this powerful conversation, Mark shares how his corporate career unknowingly equipped him with the mindset to navigate trauma, recovery, and identity loss. We explore how life’s greatest detours can reveal who we really are, why resilience is less about “bouncing back” and more about transforming forward, and how writing his book became a mirror for his own rediscovery. A story of grit, grace, and the surprising gifts that come when life interrupts, this episode reminds us that our toughest seasons can awaken the truest parts of ourselves.

    From Gag Orders to Guiding Voices: Jacqueline Brooker’s Story

    What does it take to rebuild your life when the world feels like it’s crumbling around you? Jacqueline Brooker faced not only public humiliation but also the devastation of being blamed for her 2IC’s suicide in 2004. Then, in 2016 after a multimillion-dollar deal with Reece Witherspoon collapsed a gag order left her silenced and shamed again. In this raw conversation, Jacqueline opens up about the heartbreak, the injustice, and the years that followed, where her character was attacked and her spirit tested. Yet what could have broken her became the path to her true calling. Jacqueline shares how these experiences, though painful and unjust, ultimately guided her toward helping others find and share their own voices. We talk about the importance of giving ourselves time to process, the futility of chasing revelations before we’re ready, and the freedom that comes when we stop forcing answers and allow them to find us.
