In this unflinching and emotionally charged conversation, we sit down with Jenni Tarrant - virtually, but with no less depth or connection. A multi-award-winning hairdresser, creative force behind Bond Hair Religion, and the heart behind The Tarrant Foundation, Jenni doesn’t just style hair, she reshapes lives. From sleeping in her car to raise awareness of hidden homelessness, to walking 100km in 24 hours to support survivors of domestic violence, her story is one of radical empathy and fierce determination.
Recipient of the Vidal Sassoon Humanitarian Award and winner of the National Women’s Business Award for Excellence in Professional Services, Jenni brings a rare blend of grit, grace, and generosity to everything she touches. In this online interview, she opens up about the personal experiences that fuel her advocacy, the power of showing up for others, and why every cent raised through her foundation goes directly to those in need.
This episode isn’t just a listen - it’s a call to action.
