Move Over Mama

By: Emily Jade O'Keeffe
  • Summary

  • Join Mother Daughter Duo: Veteran Australian Radio Announcer Emily Jade O’Keeffe and her 12- year-old daughter Millie Valentine as Emily Jade moves over and hands the microphone to her Mini-Me.


    Definition of Mini-Me.

    1. a person who resembles a smaller or younger version of another person


    Making a mini-me is all fun and games until she starts acting just like you. When my daughter Millie Valentine showed a deep interest in a career in the media, I decided to be the person I needed when I started 30 years ago. I would simply give her a go!


    Welcome to Move Over Mama a mentoring podspace for teens to tune in and listen to someone just like them, starting out on their exciting journey of learning to live their best life.


    Life is tough, but so are our teens, they have big dreams and ambitions and who are we to stand in their way. This podcast aims to gift each and every set of ears with someone or something that will keep them striving to unlock their potential by being inspired by those who went before them. Hopefully in one of these episodes, with one of our interesting guests, you will hear exactly what you need to hear to go on and be the person you know you can be.


    Each week I will introduce someone inspiring to Millie to interview and I will move over and let her get to know them. At the end of the podcast when our guest has gone we will discuss what she learned from that person and how she can apply the lessons in her life..


    It will uncover who influential people, people of note, athletes, and celebrities were when they were Millies age and how they have become who they are in the hope it can positively shape the future of our kids.

    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..

  • Glitter Girl
    Jul 11 2024

    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.

    Jul 4 2024

    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..
