Spill the Prosecco

Season 3 has flown by, and if there's one thing we know how to do, it's leave you with more to think about than answers... in the best possible way. This episode we're getting real with you, live, about what SheKan actually looks like from here. We take you back to the plane ride to Bali where some of the big realisations started, and we own up to the fact that our first "SheKan 2...

This episode is a bit of a switch-up… we're so used to talking about everyone else, our businesses, our kids, our husbands, that we realised we've never actually let you get to know us . So, we did what we always do when we need a hand - we asked our custom ChatGPT, Susie (yes, she's named after Kell's mum, and yes, she's basically the third host at this point), to fire off a l...

This one didn't come with a template, and that's exactly why we loved recording it. We were talking the night before about the questions we get asked over and over at retreats, and one kept coming up more than any other… how do your husbands get along? So we figured, why not let you in on it too. This episode is about our unsung heroes, Squidge and Joey, the ones who hold it all together b...

This episode we're still very much in Bali mode - relaxed, same clothes on rotation, completely unbothered and we're pulling back the curtain on what's actually happening behind the scenes of RECHARGE, our women's only luxury Bali retreat. It's top secret, it's strategic, and we've designed it to blow the minds of the women who've come back three and four years runn...

This week it's road test or red flag, and it might be the most personal one yet. Shez is stepping off the Botox train after almost two decades of religiously topping up, and Kell's booked in for explant surgery after twelve years with her breast implants - two completely different decisions that landed in the exact same place: doing what actually feels like you, not what you've always...

This one's got two things going on, and honestly they've both been giving us the same energy lately - perimenopause and Prosecco. We're getting properly honest about what's actually been draining us: the broken sleep that just won't fix itself, the sweating that comes out of nowhere and ruins a perfectly good singlet, the periods that hit different now, all of it. We're not...

We told you it never stops… this one's the real fly-on-the-wall of what running retreats actually looks like behind the scenes. Spoiler: it is not just a holiday with better lighting. We're unpacking everything that goes on before, during and after a retreat - the dates for 2027 already locked in before we'd even landed for this year's, the nightly debriefs, the constant on-the-fly...

We're back, we're in Bali, and the backdrop has never looked better… Season 3 kicks off with us recording live from the island, glass of Two Islands Prosecco in hand, sitting in the gap between two retreats and trying to catch our breath before we do it all again. No guests this season - just Shez and Kell, exactly how you like us, and honestly, there's so much to unpack we didn't...

The Director’s Cut is exactly what it sounds like… the extra bits, the stories that didn’t quite fit anywhere else, the reflections we couldn’t leave on the cutting room floor, and the kind of conversation that happens when you’ve spent a whole season unpacking the messy, magic, chaotic evolution of a business and the women behind it. Across Season 2, we’ve taken you through what happened after Sh...

Ten years ago, SheKan started with a Facebook page, a big idea and absolutely no clue where the journey would take us. Since then, we've built events, retreats, communities and experiences that have impacted thousands of women, we've said yes to opportunities, made mistakes, changed direction more than once and learned lessons we could never have anticipated when we first began. In this ep...

We came back from our first event post-relaunch knowing something wasn’t right. It wasn’t the women. It wasn’t the content. It was us. We had evolved… and SheKan hadn’t caught up. In this episode, we take you inside the rebrand that changed everything, the Human Design combined chart that blew our minds, the creative brief we didn’t know we needed, the pink disco-ball photoshoot that reignited the...

The honest unpack of our very first event back after relaunching SheKan 2.0. The weekend that looked beautiful on paper, sold out quickly, had the venue, the videographer, the photographer, the cold plunge, the VIP party… and it still just didn’t quite land. We renamed the 2 Day Escape to Her Essence Start , brought back the structure we’d always used, wore the outfits we used to wear, followed th...

We brought SheKan back exactly how we left it, with the same logo, same colours and the same photos... Kell had hair. Same energy (or so we thought). After Adventure Week 2023 and the question that reignited everything, we made the call to relaunch. We booked a venue. We rewrote the event in a Sydney apartment between strategy sessions and bottomless prosecco. We announced SheKan 2.0… and women sh...

We thought the solution was refunds and we thought closure looked like credits and contracts and finally drawing a line under it all. Boy, were we wrong! In this episode, They Didn’t Want a Refund , we share what really happened behind the scenes after we paid in full for our first overseas retreat… two weeks before the world shut down. What followed was two years of legal emails, lawyer invoices,...

We were four hours into what was meant to be our final four-day retreat. Forty women. Four states. A sold-out event. A beautiful venue on home turf. And then… Victoria announced another lockdown. In this episode, we take you inside the moment everything unravelled, the frantic scrambling for solutions, the desperate attempt to move 40 women across a state border, the phone call we didn’t want to m...

In the final episode of Season 1, we shared the livestream where we announced we were closing SheKan. We wrapped it up, tied a bow on it, and said goodbye to the business that had shaped our lives for five years. But what actually happened after that? This episode is the real beginning of Season 2, the part of the story no one saw from the outside. We take you back to February 2021, when we had al...

Season 1 ends where everything changed. In this final episode, we take you back to the moment that shifted the course of SheKan forever. After years of growth, sold-out events, national expansion and a business model that was working beautifully, the world shut down… and so did the event industry. What followed was one of the hardest seasons of our lives, personally and professionally. In this epi...

In this episode of Spill the Prosecco , we dive into something that shaped SheKan more than we realised at the time - our ongoing investment into our own growth, the mentors we chose, the rooms we sat in, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the biggest breakthroughs don’t come from the “right” rooms… they come from the wrong ones. From travelling to Bali, Thailand and Canada in the pursuit...

What happens when you build something that works… and then start saying yes to everything? In this episode of Spill the Prosecco , we unpack the season where SheKan expanded beyond our core retreats and events and into what we lovingly now call “the satellite era.” SheKan Transform. NextGen. Next Level Entrepreneur. HeKan. Multiple brands, multiple launches, multiple logos - all born from good int...

For four solid years, our model didn’t change. Free three-hour workshop. Two-Day Escape. Four-Day Retreat. Repeat. It worked. It filled rooms. It built momentum. It created something bigger than we expected. But here’s the part we’ve never really unpacked… Scaling sounds sexy - until you realise you can’t clone yourself. In this episode, we talk about: – The business model that built SheKan– Why w...

Our first four-day retreat was a sell out. It was at the stunning Dreamers Resort in Mount Beauty. There was concrete floors, fold-out chairs, forty-degree heat and a quiet belief that maybe… we weren’t enough on our own. In this episode we spill: 🥂 Why you couldn’t attend the four-day without surviving the two-day 🥂 The room that felt “off” and what we did about it 🥂 The team moment that humbl...

21 women. A luxury King Valley venue. A money-back guarantee we probably shouldn’t have offered. And a phone call five minutes before VIP dinner that no facilitator is ever prepared for. This was our first ever two-day retreat and the weekend everything shifted. In this episode we spill: 🥂 What really happens behind the scenes of a sold-out event 🥂 The emotional responsibility we didn’t see comi...

We had over 100 registrations. We moved venues on the day of the event because the room was too small. We rang every single woman personally to confirm she was coming. And then… We spoke at 90 women for three hours straight. With pages and pages of scripted notes and zero facilitation. One person signed up. This is the real story of our first ever SheKan event - the free workshop that nearly broke...

10 years in the making… and we’re finally spilling it. We’re Shez and Kell - besties, business partners and the women behind SheKan. And this is Spill the Prosecco . This podcast is where we pop the bottle and tell the real story. In Season One, you’ll hear: 🥂 The main pour - the behind-the-scenes of building SheKan from nothing🥂 The messy stuff (yes, all of it)🥂 What we’ve learned over a decad...

Ten years ago, we were a beauty therapist and a hairdresser with a Facebook page, zero qualifications in “personal development”… and the audacity to ask for a million dollars in a Shark Tank-style pitch. This episode is the real beginning of SheKan. Not the polished version. The messy, winging-it, cancel-the-bride, fly-to-Bali, launch-an-event-that-doesn’t-exist version. In this episode we’re spil...
