Meredith Staib on Confidence
It’s hard to think of a more iconic Australian brand that inspires confidence, than the Royal Flying Doctor’s Service They operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, delivering the finest care to more than 330,000 Australians each year: that's one person every two minutes! From babies born mid air, to dental services, to now rolling out the covid vaccine to the most rural locations in the country: you might have seen some of their heroic stories brought to life on the small screen on the new RFDS tv drama series that’s airing on Channel Seven in Australia right now. I’ve been lucky enough to partner with the RFDS as an ambassador for many years and I’ve gotten to know their equally inspiring and trailblazing Qld CEO Meredith Staib pretty well and it's her story I wanted to share with you today. Meredith has smashed a few glass ceilings, starting as a nurse; doing her MBA; then providing leadership to some of the most reputable healthcare providers in the world. She’s an inspiration not only for women in business but for anyone looking to shift career paths or step up their ambitions. And in this insightful chat she shares with us the confidence lessons she’s learned along the way. Thanks to Marc from Term Six Podcast Productions for audio on this episode.

Briony Benjamin Claims her Confidence
We’ve all had those days, right? Where we feel tired and crappy… where our health just hasn’t been right. Maybe you’ve even consulted Doctor Google and either panicked, laughed or both when it spat out a cancer diagnosis. But what if that diagnosis was actually right. And your whole life was flipped upside down in an instant. Mamamia’s Briony Benjamin was 30 years-old. Riding high in her career interviewing celebrities, producing hilarious viral videos and thinking she had her whole life ahead of her, when after feeling pretty crap for a while and brushing it off she received some crushing news. “When I think back on it, my body was sending me all the warning signs that something wasn’t quite right but I didn’t know how yet to trust that.” This conversation is about how to rise to the challenge when things go pear shaped. And how not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path. Briony shares how to figure out what’s truly important in life, grab onto the job and gain the confidence to bounce back from the lows.

Talitha Cummins on Confidence
When you think of the words honest and inspiring… well Talitha Cummins fits the bill. As a television journalist, she became a well known figure in loungerooms across Australia… reading the news on Sunrise and for the Seven network. But behind the scenes… Talitha was fighting a secret battle with alcohol addiction… stemming from a lack of confidence and self worth that began when she was a child. “There was a lot of time when i felt unsure of what I was doing and I didn’t disclose that I didn’t ask anyone for help because I felt that would show weakness.” In this intimate and beautiful conversation Talitha shares the power of speaking your truth This is an episode for anyone needing a dose of bravery to conquer their own demons,who has a yearning to reinvent their life or find the confidence to forge a new path.

Mark Wales on Confidence
MARK WALES is a former special ops commander…whose dream career became a nightmare in a cornfield in Afghanistan where he saw his mentor gunned down and learned the true meaning of resilience. But Australia knows him best from his time as a contestant on the show Survivor. Mark’s appearance on a reality show was all part of his mission to rebuild himself after the SAS. Today he shares how to find the confidence to turn your life around, the power of reinvention… and how to go about gaining new meaning in life. “They call it moral injury, I think that’s the more recent term for it, but it is… it’s so disconcerting to have your values torn up like that. And I think, that’s what war does. It’s degrading for everyone.” Mark and I had this chat just after his regional Victorian home with his wife, fellow survivor Samantha Gash was severely damaged by a wild storm and it says so much about him that he remained committed to doing this interview, even though they were living at a friend’s house and dealing with that natural disaster with their young son.

Emma Husar on Confidence
“Am I a perfect human? No, I’m absolutely not. But did I do those things, am I an absolute bully of a human? Absolutely, 100% I am not.” You might recognise Emma Husar’s story from the news headlines of a few years ago. The Former federal MP for Lindsay was portrayed as a bright young hope for Labor… until all that came crashing down when she resigned three years ago in a storm of controversy over allegations of lewd conduct, bullying and sexual harassment in her office. In this vulnerable and honest chat Emma shares the secrets of digging deep to gain resilience through the darkest moment of her life. And how she’s learning to rebuild her confidence on the other side of the country after losing everything she’d worked for. Anyone who’s lost their job, been accused of something they felt was wrong or had to reinvent themselves is going to get so much value from this deep conversation.

Jan Fran on Confidence
Jan Fran is an award-winning Australian journalist, who you might know from The Project or The Feed or her online opinion segment The Frant, which she now makes for the Guardian. I’m fortunate enough to co host the Briefing Podcast with her and I just love our chats off air. I knew she’d make the perfect guest to talk about confidence. Yes, she’s wildly successful, she’s become a vintage fashion icon and she has a huge platform where she speaks her truth now. But it hasn’t always been an easy ride for her. Jan Fran shares the one thing from her childhood she finds really difficult to move past. "It’s been over 15 years now and I’m not over it.” She also reveals how, despite the way she puts herself out in the world, confidence is still a work-in-progress for her. This is an insightful and real conversation where you’ll get to know Jan Fran a whole lot better. I’m Katrina Blowers and this is Claiming Your Confidence.

Michael Clarke on Confidence
Michael Clarke has been called abrasive and polarising… flashy and arrogant. But when I sat down with him to talk about confidence, I found someone refreshingly real and delightfully introspective who’s learned a lot of lessons in the fire of life. As one of the best batsmen of all time who went on to become Australia’s 43rd cricket captain, it might surprise you to learn the swagger was all a bit of a show. “All through my career, even from a young boy when I started, I always got nervous.” In this conversation we cover the glamorous girlfriends, the insane media attention and his biggest and best confidence journey to date- as a single dad. So here's Michael Clarke, on Claiming his Confidence. Thanks to Marc from Term Six Audio Productions for editing this episode.

Mary Li
So most of us have heard the story of Mao's Last Dancer, Li Cunxin, but I doubt as many of you have heard of his beautiful wife Mary Li. Mary grew up as Mary McKendry, one of eight kids, in Rocky in Central Qld. Her story of wanting to be a prima ballerina as a little girl, then dancing on stage in London and all over the world, even training with the legendary Rudolf Nureyev; is actually the stuff of fairytales. And so is the love story of how she met her future husband, both of them principal dancers. But it's actually the story of their little girl Sophie, who was born profoundly deaf, that led Mary to sit down and write a book. And this is what we chat about today. The confidence of stepping on stage in front of Royalty. The confidence of raising a child with a huge challenge ahead of her, in an era where medical advancements aren't what they are today. And in the ultimate act of love, to give up her own glittering career to be a champion for her. I'm so excited to announce that after 29 years away from the stage, Mary is making her dancing comeback. If you are lucky enough to be close to Brisbane, Australia, you can see her onstage at the Lyric Theatre on the 8th, 10th and 15th of June. So here's the fabulous Mary Li on Claiming Her Confidence.

Always a Little Further with Billy Billingham
I so enjoyed this chat with Billy BIllingham, who you might know from the TV show SAS Australia.

He was awarded the Queen’s commendation for bravery, jumped out of a lot of planes into war zones and then became a celebrity bodyguard to stars including Tom Cruise, Michael Caine and Brad and Angelina In this episode we talk about how it’s never too late to turn your life around, how to get the confidence you need to step up to extraordinary missions like freeing hostages and why his life motto is ‘always a little further’. Annnnd did I mention Billy is doing a tour??

Hypnotherapy and Visualisation for Confidence with Claire Aristides
I think hypnosis still has kind of a magical air to it, but Claire Aristides has made it part of her life’s work to get it into the mainstream. And she’s really passionate about using it as a tool to help people with their confidence and overcoming imposter syndrome. “So when we don’t feel worthy we don’t love ourselves, then we might smoke, overeat, drink too much.” Claire has used hypnosis to overcome fertility issues, for business goals and even to help with her daughter’s heart surgeries. And she shares a fascinating visualisation technique we can borrow from Elvis. “The performer Elvis used that technique as a mindset technique.” So here’s Claire Aristides on Claiming Her Confidence.

Navigating Breakups and Living Your Truth with Daniel Chidiac
I have to confess… I kinda ‘insta-stalked’ today’s guest, Melbourne writer Daniel Chidiac after a quote from one of his books popped on my feed. And then I slid into his DM’s. Creepy, right?! His books ‘Who Says You Can’t, You Do’ and more recently ‘The Modern Breakup’ have that kind of universal resonance, with life advice that just draws people in. They are now bestsellers in more than eight different countries. Success wasn’t always a given for Daniel, though, he had to learn the hard way early on and there were drugs and a business failure. “So I lost all that and found myself in debt and crashed really really hard.” In this episode we chat about navigating modern breakups… and his secrets to manifesting the huge success he now enjoys. Daniel has an incredible technique that just blew my mind. Also a quick apology - I didn’t plug my microphone in properly, so sound like I’m down a drain. Please forgive the audio on my end on this one! So here’s the fascinating Daniel Chidiac, on Claiming His Confidence.

How to Stop Overthinking with Dr Ali Walker
I’m really excited to bring you this episode because I am a CLASSIC overthinker… let’s say a ‘recovering’ otherthinker… which we all know is the enemy of confidence. Dr Ali Walker, who’s a human connection scientist, has written a fascinating book called Get Conscious. She’s done a TED talk about the same thing, she lectures at the UNSW and she has some answers for getting out of your own head. Ali started her career as a criminal lawyer, realised it most definitely wasn’t for her, and now coaches and immerses herself into researching why us humans do the things we do. Our personality patterns, why we chase ‘happiness’ to our detriment, and she shares a transformational strategy for fighting the fear of getting out of our comfort zones. “And then when you get a feeling, ok, it’s in my stomach, try to get an image for that feeling.” So here’s the insightful Dr Ali Walker, on Claiming Her Confidence.

Reclaiming Your Courage with Liz Cantor
Think of TV personality Liz Cantor and you think of sunshine and beaches. An all Australian girl who, after leaving the professional surfing circuit, turned actress, reality TV star, radio personality, lifestyle show host and weather presenter. But there’s a side to Liz she’s never before spoken about publicly. Until today. “And I just closed my eyes. And it was the first time in my life I thought, I just need to check out. I need to check out. I can’t be here.” The birth of Liz’s second son Fin was hugely traumatic. And the memory of that triggered a panic attack while she was driving 110 kays at night on a busy freeway. "The next minute my whole body just flooded with panic and I realised that I couldn’t see”. I’m so honoured Liz chose this podcast as the place to tell her story. She wanted to normalise the experience of going on medication and seeking help. So here's Liz Cantor on Claiming HER Confidence.

Overcoming Addiction with Comedian Fiona O'Loughlin
Do you sometimes have a drink to get more confidence or get the dutch courage to socialise? Today it is my great delight to bring you one of Australia’s best comedians Fiona O’Loughlin. I admire her so, so much - not just because she’s insanely funny… but so beautifully honest about the toxic trap of her battle with alcohol addiction. In her book, Truths from an Unreliable Witness, Fiona shares just how bad it really got. Passing out on stage. Drinking herself into a coma.

And living in a drug den with a kooky healer. “We’ve got to get really open … really honest about what alcohol is.” In this episode Fiona shares how she got the confidence to finally go public with ALL of it and advice for anyone else who wants to change their own relationship with drinking.

Ten Game-changing Books for Confidence
This one’s a solo episode with me, Katrina Blowers, counting down the top ten game-changing books that have helped me with my confidence over the past year.

Reading is a huge part of my life. And a big part of getting my mindset right for how I tackle hard things.

Rachael Sarra’s art is having a moment. You’ll see it on the side of buses, buildings, on the official team uniform of the firebirds, in the packaging of Lush cosmetics, on postage stamps and even at the entrance of more than a dozen KMART stores. Her art tells the story of being a proud, modern, indigenous woman. But it’s her story of ‘becoming’ she shares with us today. Of figuring out her place as she straddled two worlds. In this episode we talk about navigating the pitfalls of social media and processing systemic and casual racism I had the great pleasure of being on a panel with Rachael recently at a talk we gave to high school students and I was blown away by her wisdom and vulnerability.

Hold Your Head High with Jessica Rowe
You might think you know Jessica Rowe because of the years she’s been on Australian television or maybe from her many books... but I bet you probably didn’t know she snorts when she laughs. Or that because she was brave enough to stand up to TV bosses… news in Australia has fundamentally changed. She’s raw and real about what it took to get through being quote unquote ‘boned’ on national TV. And on being a crap housewife. I first met Jess in the late 90’s when I was on work experience.

The Five Steps to my Confidence Comeback and Q&A!
Hi everyone! On this final episode of Season One I’m sharing with you the story that took me the longest time to publicly tell. There was a lot of shame, fear and worry about what other people would think of me. And that kept me kind of hiding it, almost like a dirty secret, for several years. It’s the story of the panic attack I had on television while I was reading the news live on air a few years ago. I know many of you may now know about this - I’ve written and spoken about it a little before and the story’s appeared in major newspapers - but I wanted to specifically share the exact steps (there are five main ones) I took to make a subsequent confidence comeback. Part Two of today’s episode is a Q and A! You guys have sent me some brilliant questions (including about my love life, haha… which I answer!!) and I had a lot of fun with these. In fact, there are some things I’ve never shared with ANYONE! Before we begin, I want to point out I’m not a psychologist or a therapist… and I’m merely offering my tips as an insight of what’s worked for me. If you suffer from panic attack, and I use the word suffer because they are bloody awful, and none of the methods I suggest are really resonating, I do implore you to seek professional advice so you can get the help you need.

Raising Confident Children with Dr Vanessa Lapointe
Dr Vanessa Lapointe wants your kids to know that ‘you’ve got this’. As one of the world’s most renowned parenting experts, she says there is no magic, way of getting it right for our children. It’s okay if it feels like it’s hard. And we are here to figure it out. Together. In this uplifting conversation, you’ll learn how to become a more confident parent and raise more confident children; how to ‘discipline without damage’; and how dominant parenting ‘pop culture’ often has us doing exactly the opposite of what we now know is best for not only our children, but for ourselves. Vanessa and I also talk about our shared experience of navigating the guilt that goes with divorce and how, contrary to common belief, it doesn’t have to mess your kids up forever.

Keeping it Totally Real with Amy Gerard
I couldn’t be more excited to bring you this bonus episode with Amy Gerard who has become one of my favourite people to follow on Instagram. Amy has attracted a huge community of followers for painting a hilarious and refreshingly honest picture of life as the mother of three young children. She gives us a warts-and-all view into how motherhood changes EVERYTHING from your boobs, to your love life and the gloriously messy chaos of everything in between. But I think Amy’s real strength is in making the rest of us feel ok… by letting us have a laugh at her expense and showing us the perfectly imperfect truth of parenthood and marriage . It’s made so many of us feel less alone. In this conversation Amy gives us a peek behind the curtain into her life behind the instagram account, where she gets the confidence to create her content and choose what to share; the hard lesson she recently learned when she found the media spotlight on her for all the wrong reasons; and her personal confidence challenge she’s working on right now.

Meggie Palmer is an Aussie living in New York and the Founder of PepTalkHer. She’s on a mission to close the gender pay gap and give women the confidence to stand up and get paid what they’re worth. 2020 has for many of us, brought up a lot of anxiety about job security and whether we can rely on our income still being there.
