My Warm Table ... with Sonia Sonia Nolan

- Society & Culture
My Warm Table is an independent podcast amplifying the passion and purpose of smart, generous and civic minded Western Australians who are making our communities better. We gather around a warm table of good conversation, acceptance, positivity and curiosity (in Italian we call this a Tavola Calda - a warm table). We'll talk politics, religion, science, sustainability, wellness, inclusion, social impact ... in fact no topic is off limits - but good table manners will rule!

Welcome to Season 2 - Passion and Purpose
I am very excited to welcome you to My Warm Table Season 2.
Over the last few months, we’ve done a lot of thinking, listened to your survey feedback and tried to sharpen the focus of the podcast a little more.
My Warm Table Podcast is an independent podcast which is unashamedly focussed on Western Australians. It’s my way of adding some positivity to our state’s media landscape and amplifying the smart, kind, values-driven people in our communities who are out there doing good.
So this season around the warm table we will be talking about Passion and Purpose. It’s a theme that really resonates with me as I again throw myself into this podcast passion project!

BONUS LIVE Sr Anne Tormey - Catherine McAuley Award 25 Year Reunion
I’m sneaking in this live and raw episode of My Warm Table recorded on 28 March 2023 with Season 1 guest Sister of Mercy Anne Tormey.
I had the privilege of hosting a conversation with Sr Anne during the 25 year reunion of the Catherine McAuley Developing Women in Leadership and Service Award.
We celebrated this milestone in the olive grove at MercyCare Wembley - a foundation sponsor of the Award Program. Speakers on the night included Award co-founder Elena Douglas, convenor Rosa Speranza and our evening’s MC Jenni Del Marco.
I’m sharing this conversation with Sr Anne for all the Catherine McAuley Award women who couldn’t be there at the event and for the My Warm Table podcast listeners who enjoyed the deep wisdom and encouragement from Sr Anne last season.
Enjoy this live recording and raw episode!
