Not Super. Woman

More often than not, we walk in and out of our community buildings with little thought as to why it was built, or even how it was built.

Sometimes it’s a cement box simply designed for function and practicality, but then there are designs that started with a seed of greater intention, collaborating creativity with community and creating something that stands for so much more than the materials that it was made with.

Bec and Zoe recap on the interview the week prior, the impact it’s had on them as individuals, and how they both drew different ideas from their guest and implement changes in the endeavour to change it up, or give it a go.

50% of women are considering scaling back their careers, in a bid to juggle motherhood. And 1 in 5 women of non-retirement age, are thinking about leaving the workforce all together.

Why?

This is the mountain in which Megan Dalla-Camina, Author and Founder of ‘Women Rising’, is climbing in an effort to get to the top and see the landscape of our societal structure and feel clarity on how do we really support women in th...

Research shows that by the time a girl reaches age 11, she has built the belief system that you earn love by pleasing others. But as we know, a life built around that sentiment, is destined for poor mental health when your internal reward system is - put others happiness before your own, to please and ‘be a good girl’ in the eyes of the community around us.

Dr. Michelle McQuaid spent years of her adult life ticking the ...

Neurodiversity is an umbrella term which refers to understanding the diversity of all human brains, and the way in which we interact with the world. Often the variation is within behavioural traits that diversifies us from each other, and thankfully society is coming to a place of realising that it’s not a deficit to be neurodivergent, simply difference between one person to another. That being said, it’s taken too long...

Addiction - the word within itself carries a weight to it that feels scary and removed to the majority.

But the reality of it is, and like we have heard before, addiction doesn’t discriminate. 

Fenella Scarlett McCall is one of the many examples, who from the outside looking in, you would never suspect she had struggled with addiction.

Fenella was from a privileged loving family, private school educated, had successful c...

1 in 4 Australian women has experienced emotional and/or financial abuse by a current or former partner since the age of 15, and 1 in 5 Australian women have experienced sexual violence since the age of 15.

Violence against women is a terrifying reality that we often think doesn’t occur ‘in our backyard’, but sadly it is more prevalent than ever, all over Australia, and around the world.

Often it gets thought of i...

In life, whether you believe yourself to be creative or not, we are built to express our individuality whether it’s on a small scale to a large.

On a small scale for those who don’t see themselves as creative it could be your music, books or film selections or how you choose to expel your energy - sport, dancing, or writing in any form.

But there is also the chance, that the realities of life have distracted you from ev...

When podcast powers combine!
We unite with fellow podcasters and mums, Lucinda McKimm and Lauren Treweek from Ready or Not? Podcast, to unpack what it has been to get to here and now.
Everything starts with a seed of intention and when you begin to build on something you believe in, it always takes you on a journey and roller coaster, so it’s often helpful to pause and reflect and look at what you have a...

In the years of 2021 and 2022 Divorce rates in Australia spiked as high as they had been since 1976.

The year in which The Family Law Act was reformed to include “No Fault”, meaning spouses could for the first time opt that they just no longer got along, and it was a mutual decision at “no fault”, in turn that year, the divorce rates spiked to the highest in history… until the pandemic.

2 years after the pandemic and lockdowns, it ...

You may have heard or seen headlines lately with the concern over the impacts of social media on children and Anthony Albanese’s recent announcement about age regulation and policy reform for when children will be legally able to access certain social media apps.

These are all steps in the right direction, but what do we do in the meantime? And really, in the wise words of Clinical Psychologist – Dr. Charlotte Keating - without try...

No one ever really talks about how as a woman you go through puberty and then enter your reproductive stage, where if you have the ability to have a child, the physical and emotional changes go well beyond the first 6 weeks post birth.

Most commonly in western medicine, we focus on the labour and then the first 6 weeks, but beyond that for the majority, women get left to resume motherhood with little acknowledgment of the biologica...
