Episode 104: In search of real beauty, with Annie Lawrence
Our world is suffering from a ‘Beauty Crisis’. It reduces Beauty to something merely skin-deep. It equates Beauty to the degree of sexual attraction.
Our youth are bombarded daily with unrealistic beauty stereotypes and body images, resulting in devastating effects.
‘In Search of Beauty’ seeks to expose these distortions and present the liberating, healing and transforming power of True Beauty.
‘In Search of Beauty’ creates a ‘pause’ to explore the mystery of Beauty and ultimately helps humanity to perceive Beauty in unexpected places: in the world, in each other, and most importantly in ourselves.

Episode 97: God plays the most beautiful music through broken instruments- with Anna Nuzzo
Anna Nuzzo is a renowned International Catholic Singer, Songwriter and Recording Artist. On the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Rosary in 2012, she consecrated her life to Jesus through Mary. This was a major blessing and turning point in her life, jumpstarting her global Music Ministry! Through her Marian Consecration, our Lady enkindled in her a tremendous desire and ability to evangelize through her music, without fear and anxiety. She now felt “limitless” and empowered to truly share her God-given gifts, being “a true instrument” for God!
This was the beginning of a whole new life ~ a life of travel and Evangelization by composing and sharing her prayer songs around the world. Through her in-person special events and 6 albums (available on all digital streaming platforms and CD), she is well-known for elevating prayer through her beautiful and inspiring music.

Episode 85: Don't let comparison steal your confidence with Qwayne Guevara
It has been said that comparison is the thief of joy however comparison can also steal your confidence. In a culture where competition means building yourself up by tearing other people down, it is refreshing to see a community that is being counter cultural. Embers Basketball is a wonderful community that accompanies women in living life to the fullest through basketball, friendship and faith allowing women the opportunity to build their confidence and set the world on fire.

Episode 83: You were built for this- Empowering yourself in Birth, with Sally Hood.
As women, we have such power in birth and the enemy is fully aware of this. Christ could have come into the world in any way he wanted and He specifically chose to enter through the womb of His mother Mary. This space is holy and sacred and for far too long it has been taken captive by the enemy. It is time to reclaim it back and redeem it. A 9,000 women study on birth has been conducted in Australia with surprising results. 80% of women walk out of the birthing experience having had intervention and 1 in 3 women have said to have experienced some for of trauma. The three top comments of women about the birthing experience said that they felt dehumanised, powerless and violated. This is not OK and there needs to be a radical shift in the way we approach birth and motherhood. Find Sally here at @sally.siena.birthkeeper

Episode 76- Every Woman Deserves a Village. Ft Rose Pender.
Did you know that one in three women in Australia will have a unplanned pregnancy?
Up to one-third of Australian women will face an unplanned pregnancy at some point in their lives.
Research shows that the most common reason for terminating a pregnancy will terminate their pregnancy because they lack the support they need for parenting.
Research also shows that the most common reason given by women for deciding to terminate a pregnancy is their lack of readiness & support for parenthood.
This significant concern that women voice—Diamond Women helps overcome. Diamond Women empowers women & their families through a comprehensive approach to holistic care, creating a wraparound service that is personalised & unique to their needs.
And as the proverb says, it takes a village to raise a kid, well, we know it takes a village to support a women.
Diamond has been the village to over 1700 women over the past 15 years. And now it's OUR turn... (to become their Village).
The Village is a community of people who are willing to donate not just once, but who will commit to supporting local Australian women, each month. stick with Diamond, month after month. We subscribe to things all the time—Netflix, Spotify, the gym. We subscribe to these things because they benefit our lives.
The Village is a subscription that benefits others' lives. Diamond is looking for 200 of us to join us now. And when we get there, we'll go to 2000. And then 200,000—until the day we can say that no Australian woman ever has to face an unplanned pregnancy alone.

Episode 71- You can be a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time. ft Megan Kozak.
In this episode Megan makes the beautiful point that "Our emotions are like a compass that points toward something that has or hasn't yet been healed. They point to something historical."
It's so important to listen to what our emotions are telling us. We need to stop and ask ourselves, why am I responding this way?
Be gentle on the 'Eve' parts of yourself that need to be heled and restored back to life.

Episode 68- From 'Ideal' to 'Real' with Chantal Howard.
Weaning your children into adulthood often resembles weaning a baby - it requires repeated behaviours, some tears, many hard, often scary at times, sleepless nights, a lot of letting go and lots of trust in letting God be God.
Chantal Howard has done just that- come and listen to our conversation where we discuss allowing our children to exercise their freedom which will inevitably lead them to choices where they will fail, but how can we help them to fail forward?
Our children have freedom- it's not our job to be their redeemer- it's His, give them the tools and leave it up to Him.
Check out Chantal over @catholic.oil.mom and @aromarosary
