Episode 109: Estate Planning Horror Stories to Get You to Take Action Before Christmas
You’re not avoiding your will because you don’t care. You’re avoiding it because you think you don’t have enough assets, you’re too young, or you’ll “get to it in the new year.” I’ve been a lawyer for over sixteen years, and then I got cancer. I can tell you from both sides of the desk that life doesn’t wait for a good time. In this episode I share real client stories (details kept private, of course) about what happens when the paperwork is done, and what happens when it isn’t. Spoiler: it’s not as scary as you think, and it’s a whole lot scarier to skip it. What You’ll Learn The three documents everyone over 18 needs, whether you own a house or not, and what each one actually does in plain English Why a will on its own isn’t enough, and what can happen when nobody has the authority to make decisions for you Why insurance belongs in the same conversation, with a story that will make you check your own cover How to be honest with your lawyer so your plan actually works, even about the awkward family stuff How to start the conversation with your people so it feels like an act of love instead of a morbid chat If this one hit home, do two things. Press play, then send it to the person in your life who keeps saying “I’ll get to it.” Trust me, they’ll thank you later. Got a question about estate planning? Message me. I read every one. And you don’t have to use me as your lawyer, I just want you to get it sorted before everyone disappears on holiday.

Episode 108: Widowed at 29 and Pregnant With Triplets: The Death Conversation You Can’t Afford to Skip
Let’s be honest, nobody wakes up excited to talk about wills, insurance or what song they want played at their funeral. Most of us tell ourselves we’ll get to it “one day,” or that it’s too morbid, too expensive, or too awkward to bring up with our partner. But here’s what I’ve seen in sixteen years as a lawyer: the difference between a hard situation and an absolute nightmare is almost always whether someone planned for the worst. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Ash from Yellow Falcon, who lost her husband suddenly while she was 17 weeks pregnant with triplets. We get into the legal side, the real-life side, and the practical stuff nobody tells you until you’re standing in it (like being handed twenty death certificates and being told you’ll probably need more). In this episode, you’ll learn: Why having the death conversation is one of the most loving things you can do for your family, and how to start it without it being weird What estate planning actually includes beyond a will, from guardians and powers of attorney to advance care directives and funeral wishes Why insurance needs to be locked in while you’re healthy, and what can happen if you wait How to create a “just in case” file so the people you love aren’t left guessing about accounts, keys, logins and everything in your head What employers can do to support grieving team members, and why it matters more than most workplaces realise Ready to take action? You don’t have to do it all today. Pick one thing. Have the chat with your partner, jot down your wishes, or book that appointment. One small step is better than none, and it might be the most useful thing you do this year. If you know someone who keeps putting this off, send them this episode. They’ll thank you later (or at least Ash and I will thank you now). About Ash Ashleigh Conwell is the founder of Yellow Falcon, Australia’s first fully integrated grief support ecosystem, and the creator of What To Do When Someone Dies. She was 29 and seventeen weeks pregnant with triplets when her husband died, and she built the roadmap she wished she’d had.

Episode 107: It's Never Really About the Bin: How to Have the Tough Conversation Without Starting World War Three
Ever felt like you're saying the words but your partner just isn't hearing you? You're not imagining it. Most of us think a tough conversation is about getting the information out, but that's not what actually lands. In this episode, I'm chatting with the wonderful Liz from Edge of Possibilities about why communication breaks down in relationships, and how to start those heavy conversations in a way that gets you heard instead of getting defensive walls. What You'll Learn Why people don't hear what you say, they feel how you say it, and how to change your delivery so your message actually lands How to figure out what the argument is really about (hint: it's rarely the rubbish) The best way to start small, so you can open up hard conversations without unleashing a list of everything that's gone wrong How to get the timing right, so you're talking when your partner is calm and open, not walking in the door after a long day What to do when the conversation doesn't go to plan, and why a simple "thank you" can change the way your partner shows up If this one hit a little close to home, send it to someone who needs to hear it. And if you're facing a relationship crossroads or thinking about what comes next, I'd love to help you work out your options. Pop over to my website or book a call with me, and if you want more one-on-one support with the communication side of things, Liz is lovely and will definitely look after you.

Episode 106: The reality of Immunotherapy (Keytruda)
Seven Out of Seventeen: The Keytruda Story Nobody Tells You Ever Googled a cancer treatment at midnight and found next to nothing from someone who's actually been through it? Same. That's exactly why this episode exists. I'm walking you through Keytruda from start to finish: the side effects on the handout, the ones that actually hit me, and the tough call I made to stop at seven out of seventeen rounds. No agenda, no sides, just my real experience so you can make your own informed decision. What You'll Learn What the side effects list really looks like in real life, from colitis and thyroid changes to pins and needles, so nothing catches you off guard Why the research is so thin, and how to feel more confident asking your team the hard questions How to tell an immune-related side effect from a chemo or radiation one (because yes, the doctors sometimes point the finger at each other!) Why being upfront about supplements matters, and how a good relationship with your care team makes all the difference How to make a decision you can live with, even when there's guilt attached, and why "quality over quantity" became my line in the sand Come Chat With Me If you or someone you love is looking at starting Keytruda (or wondering whether to keep going), I'm an open book. Hit reply, send me a message, or share this episode with someone who needs to hear it. You are not the only one asking these questions. This is my personal experience, not medical advice.

What External Beam Radiation Actually Looks Like (My Experience)
I Got Tattoos I Never Asked For (And They Weren't Where You'd Think) We don't talk enough about what actually happens once treatment starts. Not the version in the pamphlets. The real one. In this episode, Stacy sits down with the paperwork from her external beam radiation treatment for stage three cervical cancer and goes through it line by line, side effect by side effect, no filter, no polish. She talks about the tattoos she didn't know she was getting until the day of, the routine that became her whole life for five weeks, and the moments she walked into the hospital not knowing what her body was about to do. If you are going through this, supporting someone who is, or just want to understand what this kind of treatment really looks like, this one is for you. What You'll Take Away A real, unfiltered walkthrough of what external beam radiation actually involves, from the tattoos to the daily routine, so you know what to expect instead of guessing Permission to laugh and cry in the same breath. Stacy shows you that finding humour in the hardest moments doesn't make them less real The side effects nobody prepares you for, straight from her own treatment sheets, so you can ask better questions at your own appointments A reminder that your journey doesn't end when treatment does. Being cleared doesn't mean the story is over, and that's okay The confidence to advocate for yourself, whether that's pushing back on advice that doesn't feel right or simply saying out loud that you're struggling If this episode hit home, share it with someone who needs to hear it today.

Episode 104: "If You Leave, I'll Cut You Off": The Financial Threat No One Warns You About
Ever had someone you love use money as a weapon? Not in a dramatic movie way, but in that quiet, gut-punch way where they say "if you leave, you'll get nothing" and suddenly you're questioning whether you even have the right to go. If that sounds familiar, or you know someone drowning in it right now, this episode is the one to press play on. We're unpacking the real difference between a partner who's terrified and a partner who's controlling, because trust me, they are not the same thing, and knowing which one you're dealing with changes everything. In this episode, you'll learn: How to tell the difference between a fear-based reaction and genuine financial control, so you stop guessing and start seeing things clearly Why your legal rights don't disappear just because someone threatens to cut you off (spoiler: the family court doesn't care about the threats either) Practical, quiet first steps you can take right now to protect yourself, without tipping anyone off before you're ready What to actually say in the moment, whether you're dealing with fear or full-blown control, so you're not caught off guard Why the money mindset stuff running in the background might be keeping you stuck longer than the threats themselves You deserve to make decisions based on what's right for you, not out of fear of what might happen to your bank account.

Episode 103: Money, Breakups, and the 67 Dresses Nobody Talks About with Erin Davis
Let's be honest, money and relationships are messy. Someone always ends up "the money person," someone else checks out, and half of us have no idea what's actually happening in our own bank accounts. This episode with accountant and money coach Erin Davis gets into all of it, who really holds the financial control in relationships, what to do if that's not you, and how to actually rebuild your finances after a separation, without pretending it's not overwhelming. In this episode, you'll learn: How to start taking ownership of your money, even if you've never been "the finance person" in your relationship What to actually do (practically) if you're preparing to leave a relationship, from bank accounts to budgeting Why chasing the lifestyle you had before separation might be setting you up to struggle A simple way to track your spending without turning it into another thing to feel guilty about How to rebuild financial confidence one small, unglamorous step at a time This one's for anyone who's ever looked at their bank account and thought "how did I not see that coming." Give it a listen, then tell a friend who needs to hear it too. Meet Erin Davis Erin's been an accountant for 30+ years and has helped hundreds of women get financially strong, not just with their numbers, but with their confidence. She's a mum, a wife, and someone who genuinely believes money isn't just about money, it's about mindset. Think of her as the accountant in your back pocket. When she's not untangling someone's finances, she's out on the trails at sunrise, muddy shoes and all, proving that grit shows up everywhere.

Episode 102: Breaking Down My Treatment: Cisplatin
What Actually Happens During Chemo (The Stuff No One Puts On A Brochure) You get handed a pile of pamphlets, a diagnosis, and about sixty days to "figure it out." That's it. That's the prep. In this episode, Stacy breaks down exactly what her cisplatin chemo looked like, from the cannula going in to the crocs-and-socks combo that got her through it, and why the thing that actually hurt the most wasn't the needle at all. If you've ever felt like you had to just wing it through the scariest weeks of your life because nobody handed you a real manual, this one's for you. What You'll Learn Why recording your doctor's appointments might be the single most useful thing you do, and how "chemo brain" makes it near impossible to remember what was said in the room The small, practical hacks (elevating your legs, shaving your arms, packing your own food) that made long treatment days more bearable What the side effects actually felt like versus what was on the seven pages of paperwork, from taste changes to fatigue that hits differently than normal tired Why hardship has a way of showing you exactly who your people are, and why the person supporting you needs just as much care as you do How to hold onto perspective when your mind runs straight to worst-case scenarios (spoiler: the paperwork usually says "rare" for a reason) If any part of this hit home, you're not alone in it, and you don't have to figure the rest out by yourself either.
