Seize the Yay

Lovely yayborhood, this episode has been a long time coming with a guest I’ve admired for many years now. We have one of those relationships unique to our modern digital life where we haven’t actually met in person but have followed each other’s work and lives for some time, share many mutual friends and had just SO much to talk about…  As you’ll hear, that means I strayed all over the place from...

We are back from our little break with an absolute bang and a guest I’ve wanted to chat with for such a long time. Thank you so much for your patience while we adventured around the world, by the way – I hope you enjoyed our re-releases and I know you’ll enjoy this week’s guest even more. I’m talking of course about the woman, the legend, Toni Lodge, who you have probably heard from on her own ama...

*RE-RELEASE* We are taking a few weeks off recording while we're in Morocco, Ang is in Amsterdam and our wonderful editor Sam gets married. So to keep your ears busy, we're re-releasing some of our favourites and Emma Watkins was a pure delight! Excuse the time references, but if you missed this the first time around, it's a joy. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There aren’t many things th...

Welcome to our first FOUR WAY EPISODE on the show! At this point, my memory is so bad that it’s entirely possible we’ve done one before, so ignore me if I’m incorrect – I actually love it when you guys remember things better than I do! Anyway, I am so excited about our guests today – I was lucky enough to jump on their brand-new podcast recently and enjoyed it so much I had to turn the tables a we...

Welcome back lovely yayborhood and happy International Women’s Day! I couldn’t think of a better guest to celebrate all that is wonderful and womanly than the incredible Sophie Walker from Australian Birth Stories. I suspect that many of you listeners are also among the literal millions in the Australian Birth Stories community but, in case you aren’t just yet, it is one of Australia’s most succes...

Welcome back lovely people, what a week it’s been for the yayborhood!!! Nic aka Mr YAYvidson’s return to the show last week for a hilarious Valentine’s episode – thank you all so much for listening and for the cute littlee love notes… But even more excitingly, our first in real life event in over three years and it was EVEN MORE AMAZING THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED.   I won’t spend much time on it...

Due to popular demand, Nic aka Mr YAYvidson is back on the show for a special Valentines Day anonymous Q&A. Hosted, of course, by Ang, this was an absolute CRACKER!

Hello lovely yayborhood and welcome to our second guest episode of the year. Continuing on our musical theme to kick off 2023, we’re chasing our classical singer, Josh Piterman, with a classical pianist, Van-Anh Nguyen, and one of the country’s very best at that! You might remember a few weeks ago, Ang and I were lucky enough to attend a Candlelight Concert where we cried our way through an hour o...

Welcome back, lovely yayborhood! Oh my goodness me, it is not settling into my brain that it’s 2023.... let alone the end of January! We had the loveliest break, but we’re BACK IN A BIG WAY and have such an exciting year planned – our first IRL event is already booked in for the 16th Feb now that we have Ang back on board properly so stay tuned for more details. On that note, you’ll be getting a d...

WELCOME TO 2023, LOVELY YAYBORHOOD!! For various reasons, we didn't release this straight after Ang's Anonymous Q&A Part I as originally mentioned - we wanted to release it when we were together (it will probably become clear why when you listen) and have only just reunited after our travels. So thank you, again, for your patience and I hope you had a beautiful break and holidays yourselves! This...

If you’re sick of the Antarctica content, this week we’re back to our regular programming with one of the loveliest, most well-adjusted and inspiring humans - you know those people you speak to and they just have SUCH a good head on their shoulders you want to be around them more? And I didn’t realise this until after we finished recording but we have the SAME BIRTHDAY just a year apart, so it was...

Beautiful people, I am finally back from the great white continent and am genuinely speechless. The yay involved with every moment in Antarctica was absolutely indescribable!!!  Although, as per usual, when I say “there are no words” I follow with a million words so you’ll be getting bombarded with reflections and feelings in due course - I’m sitting down with Ang this week to unload and that will...

It’s been a pretty busy time lately, but in the days I was in Melbourne, I was so lucky to catch the legendary Rob Mills to record an episode in celebration of his brand new book, Putting on a Show!!! I only got my advance copy 24 hours beforehand and thought I’d give it a quick once over to prepare then go back to read it in more detail afterwards, but I could. not. put. it. down!!! It’s such a f...

Lovely yayborhood, I am SO excited about today’s episode. You’ve probably heard me say before that one of the coolest parts of having a podcast is having audio evidence of how you felt at a particular point in your life to look back on, but being able to do that with our guests as well when they return for a reunion is even more special. Today, after nearly FOUR YEARS since we first recorded, the...

Lovely yayborhood we’re back into our regular recording schedule and I’m SO pumped to have an epic guest for our first episode back. I had the privilege of sitting down with D'Leanne Lewis, a real estate mogul and star of Luxe Listings Sydney – many of you have probably already binged the first two seasons showing the ins and outs of one of the most cutthroat real estate markets in the world (and...

Welcome to September lovely yayborhood you made it through winter I hope you’re excited to come out of hiberyaytion! And I can’t think of a better story to help you spring into spring than this one.   Today’s guest epitomises the idea of seizing your yay having walked away from a booming career not only to take a new direction but to LITERALLY QUIT HER JOB ALTOGETHER, BUY A BOAT, LEARN TO SAIL IT...

I am so excited about today’s episode, it’s a very special one on adoption following our anonymous Q&A. Some of you may remember I was at an event recently and was partnered with a legend named Matt Purcell from Sydney who I’d never met before and somehow we figured out we were not only both adopted and both from South Korea… but from the SAME orphanage around the very same time! I often talk abou...
