Jan Fran is an award-winning Australian journalist, who you might know from The Project or The Feed or her online opinion segment The Frant, which she now makes for the Guardian.
I’m fortunate enough to co host the Briefing Podcast with her and I just love our chats off air. I knew she’d make the perfect guest to talk about confidence.
Yes, she’s wildly successful, she’s become a vintage fashion icon and she has a huge platform where she speaks her truth now. But it hasn’t always been an easy ride for her.
Jan Fran shares the one thing from her childhood she finds really difficult to move past.
"It’s been over 15 years now and I’m not over it.”
She also reveals how, despite the way she puts herself out in the world, confidence is still a work-in-progress for her.
This is an insightful and real conversation where you’ll get to know Jan Fran a whole lot better.
I’m Katrina Blowers and this is Claiming Your Confidence.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
