Coffee with a Coastie On The Coast Publications

Welcome to Coffee with a Coastie. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Alex Wilson from Mindful Recovery Services. After being helped by counsellors to navigate her own difficult teenage years, Alex has gone on to forge a successful career in mental health, helping teenagers and young adults. Alex’s journey is one of inspiration, so I was excited to get the opportunity to sit down and chat with Alex.

Welcome to Coffee with a Coastie. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with sisters Lorraine and Rhonda from Central Coast Kids in Need. Lorraine and Rhonda have been at the helm of CCKIN helping children and their families on the Central Coast for over 19 and 21 years respectively and have helped over 3900 children and their families. It is no wonder so many individuals and organisations across the Coast support CCKIN and I was honoured to get the opportunity to sit down and chat with them.

Welcome to Coffee with a Coastie. I was grateful to sit down and chat with Central Coast local Tanya Green. Tanya is on a mission to help women and couples going through fertility treatments, though has had quite the journey to get there. From being told by medical professionals at the age of 16 that she’ll likely never have children, to having children in her 20s, only then to find herself undergoing fertility treatments later in life. This journey has fuelled her purpose to create the fertility wellness brand Ivy Dayz, to help others undergoing fertility treatments.

Welcome to Coffee with a Coastie. I sat down with Elizabeth Long, who at 82 is still creating textile art. Recently Elizabeth has been making beautiful items from her left-over fabrics. Making everything from masks, to quilts and tea cosies. Over the years Elizabeth has won prizes in The Quilter’s Guild of NSW for her textile art pieces, though now Elizabeth simply wants to inspire others to pick up whatever it is that interests them later in life and start doing it. So it was with great pleasure that I got to sit down and chat with Elizabeth to share her story.

Welcome to Coffee with a Coastie. I was excited to have Maz Compton join me to discuss life, sobriety, her podcast Last Drinks and her latest book of the same name Last Drinks. Maz’s journey has been a captivating one, spanning from MTV host to becoming a gym owner and a prominent breakfast radio host. So, it was an honour and a pleasure that I got to sit down and chat with Maz.
