A special fast tracked episode today because we wanted to jump on an opportunity just like our guest did and ended up on stage in a packed arena performing with Teddy Swims.

Our mentor today made something so epically cool happen for herself just by taking a chance and there is so much to learn from her moment. She is a professional Busker, and busks all over the country making a decent living out of it. Last week she decided to busk in Brisbanes Queen Street mall on the day Teddy Swims was performing at the Riverstage. She performed a few of his songs over and over and live streamed it on Tik Tok in the hope he would see it, or be in the area and see her and be compelled to watch her and even perform with her..

Guess What it WORKED and now she has been on every radio station, TV station, socially blown up and now Performed on stage with him!

Now she is with us, we can almost still smell Teddy Swims hugs on her!!

Inoxia we can’t wait to get to know you better. Lets Move Over to learn from INOXIA about how to manifest and hustle, earning a living through busking and what Teddy Swims is really like..

16 years old and already her parents Boss! Meet Glitter Girl, aka Sophia Rizzo a Young Entrepreneur who started selling Glitter in the classroom at age 9 and now at 16 has a business with over 200 items in stock and ships globally. Big things are coming for Glitter Girl as a brand and we are so excited for what you can learn from todays podcast.

Something Millie has touched on a few times in this podcast is how she has always been a little entrepreneur herself, selling lemons, lemonade, or pompoms out the front of our house. When that wasn't enough she started a little insta biz called Crystals for Kids, she is always hustling and thinking of ways to make money. I’ve never stopped her because I love her hustle, and also every cent she earns is money I don’t have to earn to spend on her! Todays mentor is a little similar but way ahead of the game.

When Sophia decided to dress colourfully for school and had a “little idea” to bring pots of glitter to her school and charged her classmates $2 for the craft glitter which she ordered online. Despite getting in trouble at school, she pivoted and started to sell at markets and online, that business is now called Glitter Girl and making enough that both Sophia’s parents quit their jobs so they could work full-time FOR HER. She has now won awards including Gold Coast Bulletin's Young Woman of the Year awards, Business awards and many more. We thought our listeners would love to hear how such a young person can start a business and be so successful she is now supporting her own family. We know many of you have similar dreams, so settle in and learn how you can start your own business from Move Over Mamas youngest mentor yet!

If you want to find out more about Glitter Girl you can follow her on her socials @Glittergirl.au or shop her products online at www.glittergirl.com.au

We wish Sophia the best of luck and can't wait for her next big announcement, its coming soon.

We ALL know someone who has had cancer. Some may have even lost someone dear to them and are still grieving. Millie's Dad Gerard lost his Dad to lung cancer. Poppy Jim died when Gerard was only 19 years old and we think about him every day and it's been 20 years. Cancer is a long hard journey for everyone, but imagine being the person who has the cancer. What do you do? What do you need from your friends and family and how do you try to stay positive when its really very scary?

Our next mentor has walked that walk and got the worst news of her life, stage 4 Lymphoma and she was only 31. Cancer is rated in stages, and Stage 4 is as bad as you can get, but she lived, and then created a video that went viral called ‘You only get one life” it inspired so many to get out there and live the best life possible, her viral video then led to a book called 'Life is Tough but so are You'… and now she travels the country reminding people of what they are capable of and also making them laugh. We are so excited for you to meet and be mentored by Briony Benjamin!

Find out why worrying is like a rocking chair, what cancer feels like, and learn how to think about illness periods in your life. Listening to Briony you will never be the same again, you will wake up every morning feeling blessed you are well.

So get out there and live your best life, ways to do that are to subscribe to this podcast, and share.. we promise just listening to all the mentors will make your life better than yesterday!

We love you guys..

In an Olympic year and Paris just around the corner it made sense that in the first series of Move Over Mama I source some Olympians to mentor Millie and our Move over Mama listeners. Our guest this week is our second Olympian and we move from the track last week to the pool this week. I just love being around her. She is not only a great listener, she is warm, funny and caring, she makes everyone feel great which is a beautiful skill, and she is one of Australia's greatest Swimmers. There is nothing she can’t do, once she retired the togs she transformed her life into a television presenter, motivational speaker MC, fashion designer, and now a nut farmer…. She owns a macadamia farm!

Giaan Rooney is passionate about many things, but more importantly she is passionate about helping the next generation understand their Lizard brain and how it can hinder success and how they can master it to become a champion.

12 months ago at a charity event, the Baby Give Back Mothers Day High Tea, Millie and I met our next guest. An Australian Champion Iron Woman who had just paddled around Australia in a Kayak. It took 254 days, 12, 700km and during that time she dodged huge waves, storms, sharks, crocodiles, she tested her physical and mental health and broke many world records, talk about Girl Power! A few months later here she was in a pretty dress graciously chatting by an old telephone booth covered in flowers to the only 11 year old in the room. That 11 year old asked her a question she had never been asked before and it was ‘Bonnie Hancock ‘who turned to me and said something along the lines of “ she is an amazing interviewer, she has asked me the best questions!”. It was that moment the seed of Move Over Mama was born.. So Bonnie Hancock thankyou. And what was that question? I'll move over and Millie can ask her again....

Find Bonnie on socials at @bonniehandcock look for the blue tick her Book is called The Girl Who Touched the Stars and her movie you can catch on Kayo is called Diamond of the Sea
