    Tully’s Away, Elisha’s In: Friendship, Influence & Big Conversations

    We always say words have power… and last week, Tul said she wouldn’t be here next episode—turns out, she was right. This week, I’m joined by our dear friend, Stitch Up Studios co-founder, and all-round legend Elisha, aka Temu Tully. While Tul is away, Elisha steps in and brings the goods with a fresh take on two of our most popular topics: friendship and influence. We start by diving deeper into last week’s chat on healthy friendships—you loved it, so we had to keep the convo going. Then we shift gears into the world of influencers and modern marketing. Elisha brings her insights from years in the corporate space, working directly with influencers and brands. We cover: 📱 Where influencer marketing is heading 💡 What makes an influencer actually good 🌟 Why Stitch Up Studios is doing things differently—and why that matters This one’s honest, open, and filled with real talk about friendship, the media space, and building something meaningful in 2025.

    Are We Having Enough Fun? Vulnerability, Change & the Secret to Success

    We’re back with a new episode of Curious Conversations—and this season, we’re going deeper. Maybe we’re maturing, maybe we’re just craving more real… but either way, it’s giving vulnerability, change, and a whole lot of reflection. This week, we had an epiphany: Have we forgotten how to have fun? Are we taking everything—including ourselves—a little too seriously? In this episode, we explore: 🎢 Why fun might be the missing piece in our lives 🧠 How vulnerability and change are showing up for us in 2025 📊 The "Fun Scale" we made up to help track how much joy we’re actually letting in 🔥 And the big question: Could having fun be the real secret to success? If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or a little too in your head lately—this is your permission slip to loosen up and laugh again.

    Friendship, Obligation & Boundaries: The Conversations We Need to Have

    We’re back on the mics for a real and raw solo chat – this time from two different locations (because Sarah’s about to jet off overseas!) but with the same honest energy you know and love from Curious Conversations. In this episode, we unpack relationships out of obligation – you know the ones. Friendships that drain you, catch-ups that feel like chores, and connections that leave you feeling worse, not better. We dive into long-term friendships, partner’s mates, and even family ties – asking the big question: are you doing this out of love or guilt? Plus, we chat about the “five people audit,” how to stop being the people-pleaser version of yourself, and why a few small daily rituals can completely shift your energy (spoiler: consistency really is the secret sauce). Also... hugs. The Disney kind. We’ll explain. This one’s for the girls who crave more authenticity and less obligation in their lives – with a little tough love and plenty of laughs.

    Traveling Europe in a Crisis, Vomit at Home, and the Beauty of Doing Life Differently

    This week’s episode of Curious Conversations is a tale of two very different realities – one from the dreamy mountains of Italy, and the other... covered in toddler vomit. Sarah checks in from the Italian Alps (yes, it looks Photoshopped) and shares what it’s really been like travelling through Europe right now – from navigating flight detours due to global unrest, to reconnecting with slower living and the romance of foraged food in tiny mountain towns. But is the European lifestyle everything it seems… or is it just the holiday glow? Meanwhile, back in Australia, Tully has been in full mum mode – dealing with baby gastro, her own bout of it, and the chaos of solo parenting while sick. Let’s just say it’s not the Italian dream – but it’s real, raw, and relatable AF. We chat about the freedom of solo travel, the pressure of parenting through illness, and the importance of staying present – no matter what season of life you’re in. If you’ve ever dreamed of moving to Europe, wondered what motherhood really looks like when the shit hits the fan (literally), or just want to feel like you're catching up with two mates on different sides of the world – this one’s for you.
