Move Over Mama – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with Morgan Joanel — singer-songwriter, fashion designer, jewellery creator, and one of Australia's original looping artists — to uncover the incredible story behind her creative career and remarkable resilience.

Discovered by Sony through MySpace, Morgan went on to tour the world, support artists like Jason Derulo and Adam Lambert, and build a career entirely on her own terms. But in 2021, everything changed.

After being involved in a devastating hit-and-run accident that left her with 13 broken bones, a brain bleed, and months in a wheelchair, doctors warned her she may never perform the way she once did.

Morgan refused to accept that.

She opens up about rebuilding her life, overcoming unimaginable setbacks, staying true to herself in the music industry, and why mindset became her greatest tool during recovery.

We dive into:

• Being discovered by Sony through MySpace
• Building a music career independently
• Touring with Jason Derulo and Adam Lambert
• Standing her ground with major record labels
• The reality of the music industry
• Surviving a life-changing hit-and-run accident
• Recovering from a brain injury and multiple fractures
• Finding purpose through adversity
• Resilience, mindset, and never giving up

This episode is funny, emotional, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that even when life knocks you down, you can choose how you rise.

If you've ever faced a setback, struggled through difficult times, or needed proof that resilience can change everything… this one's for you.

In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with Budjerah — ARIA Award-winning Indigenous singer-songwriter — to uncover the real story behind his rise from a shy kid singing in church to one of Australia’s most exciting young artists. 🎤✨

Before the awards, the tours, and sharing stages with artists like Ed Sheeran, Budjerah was just a teenager trying to find confidence, figure himself out, and chase a dream that didn’t always come easy.

He opens up about growing up in a musical family, struggling with shyness, getting rejected on The Voice, and how that rejection became the fuel that pushed him even harder toward his goals.

We dive into:

• Growing up in church surrounded by music
• Being a shy teenager finding confidence through performance
• Writing his first song for a school assignment
• Getting rejected on The Voice
• Being signed to Warner Music at just 17
• The importance of mentors like Matt Corby
• Hard work, resilience, and staying motivated

This episode is funny, inspiring, honest, and a powerful reminder that rejection doesn’t mean the end — sometimes it’s the thing that pushes you toward where you’re meant to be.

If you’ve ever doubted yourself, faced rejection, or felt scared to chase something bigger… this one’s for you.
