    E2: Told to Freeze Her Eggs at 27: Stacey Foat's PCOS Story

    At 27, Stacey was told her hormones had “bottomed out”, that she’d started perimenopause and should go freeze her eggs. She was single, she was terrified, and she decided to do things differently. My very first guest on The Brave List is Stacey Parry, naturopath, nutritionist and founder of Balanced Babes. We chat about her PCOS diagnosis, packing her whole life into one car to start over, and what she learnt about her body along the way. We also get into gene testing and MTHFR, detoxing, saunas, endometriosis, and her very real perimenopause journey right now. Plus the leap of faith it took to build her own clinic, supplement range and book from scratch. She also shares one wild dream she’s only ever told her husband. You’ll love this one.

    E1: Stop Talking Yourself Out of Your Dreams

    Seven years. That’s how long I talked myself out of starting a podcast. I’m the girl who launched a swimwear brand in two days and built a travel company on a whim, but when it came to this dream, fear of judgement won every single time. Welcome to The Brave List. In this first episode I’m sharing who I am and why I’m finally hitting record. It goes from a one way ticket at 20, to begging a boss in the Cayman Islands for a job every day for 30 days, to founding Australia’s first sustainable swimwear brand with zero fashion experience. Then a personal trip swimming with humpback whales accidentally became OceanZen Travel, ten years of adventure expeditions for solo female travellers. If there’s a brave idea you’ve been sitting on, this one’s for you. Follow @thebravelistpodcast on Instagram and DM me the brave thing you’re thinking about. I’d love to hear it. In this episode 00:00 Seven years of talking myself out of it 01:01 Why this dream took so long (fear of judgement) 02:28 A one way ticket at 20 03:21 30 days of begging for a job in the Cayman Islands 04:23 Coming home changed, and why I hated uni 05:29 Launching Australia’s first sustainable swimwear brand 06:24 How a whale swim became OceanZen Travel 07:40 The film and TV chapter 08:36 “Either the fear goes away or the opportunity does” 09:35 Tell me your brave thing Connect with me Instagram: @thebravelistpodcast Travel with me: www.oceanzentravel.com | @oceanzentravel Personal: @stephyygabriel Love the show?
