Kelly's Ordinary People Podcast

Thanks so much to Shane for getting me out of my podcast hiatus and being brave enough to ask the questions about Dv that I am sure many of you have.   Trigger warning*** This episode has conversations about my own experience with domestic violence and about domestic violence in general.  I talk all things about RizeUp, a DV charity near and dear to my heart and also some of my experience working...

It's been a little while between poddys for me, but today I talk to my new friend Marcia Miller.  I met Marcia whilst holidaying in New Zealand recently.  She is just one of those amazing people who is smart, caring, giving and blessed with good comedic timing and sarcasm.    How could I not hit it off with her. Marcia lives with her two cats and husband Tom in Illinois (USA).  Up until recen...

After our epic Warwick Pentathrun hit, Heidi and I drag Phil and Leigh along with us to another running festival. This time we head to Wondai.  The South Burnett area holds a special place in my heart and I not only got to run, but got to revisit some long lost loves and friends.   Support the show

In this episode it's just me again.  Talking about the Warwick Pentathrun, a running event I did with some friends that consisted of a 4.6k cross country run, 21k road run, 5k road run, 10k hilly road run and a 1.5k road run.  I also talk about my new cats Hamish and Andy and a bit of confronting news about one of my adult children. I have been struggling to find my mojo, but I have a few peo...

It’s just little ole me chatting about stuff., by myself. I look at some old Instagram posts and quotes and unpack the meaning behind them. I am actually surprised I could talk that long about nothing really. Enjoy x Support the show

Alright, I admit it, the idea of recording my best friend and I whilst op shopping together was done on a whim and it may not be the best audio, but by geez there are some pearler comments in this podcast.  I actually surprise myself with what comes out of my mouth.   If you want a bit of mindless shit talk between two besties, well welcome to shit-talking-bestie-ville!

Wow!  What a great talk this one is.   I sit down with my new friend Katrina Preisler-Weller and we talk about our mums, both of whom have long since passed.  And we talk about dying and death and funerals and how grief never leaves you, you just learn to live with it. Grief of course doesn't always come along after the death of someone, it can be many things that cause you to grieve, the los...

This week I have 2.5 (ok 3) special guests.   Jo Doyle and Andy McLean are like Dayboro’s very own celebrity couple.  Probably should call them Joey or Anjo….  What a fun podcast this one is.  I should know I have spent hours trying to get it to sound just right. We talk brain injuries, 50 first dates, running, music, love at first sight, what lessons Andy has taught Ed Sheeran about performing to...

This week I have a little catch up with my favourite blonde haired, blue eyed guy, my darling 21 year old son Rylan Gurski. There’s a bit of dog barking, I couldn’t edit all of it out, otherwise it would be a blank poddy. We talk work, floods, war and music all from the 21 year old perspective.   It’s nice.  I love him.

This week I chat to my friend Alish Conley.   When I and my high needs kids met Alish at the school she was teaching at; she had been teaching for 15 years.   We walked in and turned her teaching world upside down!!!  She basically saved us all. My kids taught Alish patience and she taught them that they were worthy.  Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard we have for teachers is a lost tradit...

Last week I had no podcast to give after a guest fell through, this week I have powered through with my amazing friend Heidi Storer. Heidi is a recent recruit to my friendship circle and is one hell of a human.  A mum to 4, a grandmother (yikes), a wife to a very patient man, an above average-average runner, a PT and a really fun yet sensible friend. We dive deep on teenage pregnancy, family bonds...

The 5 Foot Personal Protection Specialist This week I talk to my friend Erin Cash. I have had to heavily edit this one because she has NO FILTER (soo good); sorry for the dodgey editing and interludes! Erin retired from the Coppers 16 years ago and what a full life she has had!  She’s worked in the “Riot Squad”, been a child abuse investigation detective, an educator, was a competitive full contac...

This week I chat to my friend Angela Woodward (Nee Kennedy).  Ang was in the Australian swim team for 10 years in the 1990s.   I call Ang “Rings” (Olympic Rings) because she went to the Olympics.  She’s the only person I know that went to the Olympics and she won a medal.  She used to carry shame with that medal though and how she won it.  Ang and her coach Peter Freney of the Telopea Club pioneer...

This week’s episode is me rabbiting on each day about my week in “iso” after my 18 year old daughter got “The Vid” and our household went into lockdown. I had my darling friend Erin lined up for the next episode, but despite our best attempts our audio was crap, in that we could not hear each other!!  So as luck would have it, you just get me, well me, with the kids making a couple of cameos and m...

When you meet Lizzie Dart, there is a beauty about her, sure her outside package is stunning, but that is not where her beauty radiates from, there’s something super special about her as a human. I didn’t know much about Lizzie at all going into this chat and wowzers she is a softly spoken, non-sweary powerhouse of inspiration.   She has turned her own dv story to one that fuels her to help others...

Another good ole chin wag with my lifelong bestie “V”. This eppy kind of turns into her interviewing me.  She wanted to deep dive on some stuff I scratched the surface on when I had a cry whilst podcasting on another episode. We talk nature and vision boards and a whole lot of crap in between! Enjoy! Support the show

My friend Sally Brouwer is my guest this episode. Sally is dry and witty with a heart as big as a giant watermelon.   She can pack an awful lot into one little podcast.   She is a mum to teenage triplets, a former copper, fitness professional, nutritionist, lifestyle coach and clinical hypnotherapist. Sal runs the successful Sally Brouwer Fitness where she helps women and men get fit, healthy and...

In this episode I talk to my friend and author TJ (Terese Jones).   I took my roving microphone to TJ's home, so there's a couple of grumbles in the audio along the way. We talk about lots of things, but most importantly TJ's self published novel - Blood Will Tell.  I personally read this book myself and it blew me away that it was so bloody good. The book takes you back in time to...

In this episode I talk to my friend Allana Bianchi. Allana is engaging and funny with a laugh that is contagious. She explains the difference between corporate and running tutus, it’s an interesting delineation. She is also a runner and an  Outreach Ambassador for parkrun.  She organised an  Octogenarian parkrun event to celebrate how age isn’t  a barrier to participation (running, walking, volunt...

In this episode I talk to my friend Robyn Night.  Robyn had her name and address posted on adult and social media websites with her face superimposed on pictures of women carrying out sexual acts. Words such as "here for your pleasure" and "I'm home alone now and ready for your punishment" were written on the websites. As a result, more than 50 men visited her family home...

That one time my boobs turned on me… Don’t be mistaken, this is not just about my boobs, it’s about running, but I will tell you about that one time I was borderline septic because my boobs had an infection. I will regale you with my own running stories, my comebacks, my down times and my good times. I hope you enjoy!! Support the show

In this episode I talk to my friend Sharnelle Harris (formerly Cole).  Shar refutes the term hero, even though she has earned herself a bravery award, one of the highest honours any police officer can receive.  She prefers to think of the police and ambos who came to her and her two partner’s aid as the heroes. In the early hours of 1 May 2000, Sharnelle, Daryl Green and Chris Mulhall were shot wh...

In this episode I was pretty keen to talk with my daughter Savanah.  She was a bit tired and distracted, so the first part of the poddy was like pulling teeth.  She was looking for any opportunity to not be there!  Second part of the podcast I started going down a road that I wasn't prepared for.  I wanted to talk about my sister's 4 kids that I raised, next minute I am vulnerable as fuc...

Marney is a softly spoken country gal from Dayboro.  But don’t let her soft demeanour fool you, she is one tough cookie. Marney met her perfect match husband  in 1996 when she was 18 and they formed a life long partnership, raising two children together. In 2019 Marney’s  world as she knew it stopped, then it played out in slow motion.  The longest and craziest journey of her life.  A journey that...

In this episode I talk to my brand new friend Tiana King.  Tiana and I met as cast members on location for the filming of Adventure All Stars.  Tiana was quiet when I first met her, shy and appeared naive, by the end of one week’s filming she was gregarious, funny, engaging, self deprecating and witty. At 28 years old, this week she “celebrates” her 27 year burniversary. As she says; “people celeb...
