This episode, the first of our second series, I had the great pleasure of talking with Craig Foster, one of Australia's most respected sportspeople and human rights activists -

Since his Socceroo days, Craig has had an illustrious career as a sports broadcaster, alongside his unwavering human rights advocacy, primarily around multiculturalism, particularly in support of refugees and those seeking asylum in our country -

Last year Craig was elected the chairperson of the Australian Republic Movement (ARM) and whilst he is a passionate campaigner for this cause, he is committed to Australia first having an Indigenous Voice to Parliament that is enshrined in our constitution -

In 2021, Craig was appointed a member of the Order of Australia and is the current NSW Australian of the Year -

Sit back for a deeply inspirational talk with the irrepressible Craig Foster on why standing up for human rights is vital to the wellbeing of each other, our nation and our global community -

This episode I'm talking with Social Justice advocate and educator, Catherine Knox, about Postnatal Depression and how we each got through this tough life challenge.

Catherine and I go back almost 20 years when I interviewed her for my PhD research on this serious health issue. Between us, we have 13 children, 11 sons and 2 daughters, so we have plenty of experience around motherhood to share, as well as knowledge we've gained from our professional lives.

Catherine and I discuss how feelings of anger, guilt and a loss of identity amongst new mothers often stem from gender expectations around the 'good mother' ideology. A sense of humour and keeping a healthy perspective as a mother are two of the main factors we talk about which led to our recoveries.

So sit back and enjoy this very frank and open discussion between two experts on Postnatal Depression, Catherine Knox, and, 'yours truly'.

This episode I had the great honour of talking with author and leading activist, Thomas Mayor, who carried the Uluru Statement from the Heart around Australia for 18 months from 2017. Thomas explains the three key elements of the Uluru Statement - Voice, Treaty and Truth, in particular, why our country needs an Enshrined Indigenous Voice to parliament. Our discussion helps to dispel confusion around what effect this change to our constitution will have and makes clear why this action is vital to the wellbeing of our First Nations people and therefore, to our nation as a whole. So sit back and enjoy this truly enlightening and inspirational talk with the irrepressible, Thomas Mayor.
