Nick’s Story – From debilitated to company director

Épisode 12

mercredi 25 mars 2026 • Durée 23:06

Nick says his involvement in a serious motorbike accident was the best and the worst thing to happen to him. Left with an horrific string of injuries, and a slow and painful recovery, Nick knew he was lucky to survive. But he says it also gave him a new perspective on where he’d been going wrong in the past and how, given this second chance, he’d be the husband and father he truly wanted to be. Through grit and perseverance, Nick not only recovered; he reinvented himself. He’s evolved from a reluctant worker to a motivated company director and employer – all while managing the disabilities he’s lived with before and after his accident. Be prepared to be inspired. *PLEASE NOTE: This episode includes mentions of drug use, accident trauma, mental health challenges and serious medical procedures. Need support?

A Survivor’s Story – Finally free of family violence

Épisode 11

mercredi 25 mars 2026 • Durée 39:13

Family violence is an all too prevalent issue in Australia. It’s often a lot more complicated and nuanced than our images of bruised victims, and coercive control is increasingly being recognised in our courts as an offence. This episode's guest shares her own personal experience with family violence. She tells of how her relationship started, what she endured, what she tolerated, and how she finally found the freedom she and her two young sons desperately needed to flourish. This survivor also shares with us how she’s beginning her own career through the Parent Pathways program to support others affected by family violence. She is the very definition of warrior mother. *PLEASE NOTE: This episode includes mentions of domestic abuse. Need support for yourself or someone you know who may be in danger? Call 1800RESPECT.

Janelle’s Story: Dancing through the darkness

Épisode 10

mercredi 17 décembre 2025 • Durée 33:25

In this episode, Janelle shares the story of how she lost almost 80kg in 12 months. Burdened with postnatal health issues, Janelle quickly saw her weight increase, leading to constant pain and poor mobility. Popular weight loss injections and surgery were expensive and difficult to access, so armed with nothing but a Bluetooth speaker and a dogged determination, Janelle went about changing it all. And while she still has work to do, the journey has helped Janelle to see that she is capable of far more than she would have believed. In a time when the weight of judgement feels heavier than ever, Janelle’s story is proof that sometimes all you need is to dance like no one’s watching. *PLEASE NOTE: This episode includes mentions of domestic abuse.
