  • Cultivating a harmonious relationship with money.
    Apr 6 2024

    Dearest you.


    The best episodes are the conversations where I don’t ask any of the questions I had on my list. This is one of them.


    Megan deBoer is a wealth doula, mother, maker and caretaker, and she is joining me inside the next season of my conscious career and business mentorship space, Off—, which I am very pleased to tell you is officially open for enrolments today. We’ll be gathering just once in 2024 so if this conversation feels true for you, then this is the season for you.


    The theme we will be expanding into inside Off— is Land in Your Deservingness. What does that mean? It means closing the gap between what you’re currently receiving and what you intrinsically deserve. More money — whether that be a pay rise or raising your rates. More opportunities. More responsibility — a promotion or becoming more for and to your clients. More impact.


    There really isn’t another voice or guide I’d want to usher this season in with. Megan is a light in an otherwise pretty dark corner of the self development space: Money.


    I hope you adore our very honest conversion and I most especially hope you join us inside Off—. Visit www.getoffline.co/off to explore.

  • 3 voice mentoring memos about trusting our intuition, out-growing friends & founder doubt.
    Mar 23 2024

    Dearest you.


    Another solo episode with yours truly. Off— opens for enrolments on April 7, 2024 and I wanted to give you an experience of my range as a conscious career and business mentor.


    Here’s what’s on the mentoring menu:


    • Navigating the feeling of failure or loss when we don’t take action on intuitive pulls and nudges
    • The biggest red flag when considering going into business with a friend and how to end a friendship we’ve evolved beyond with grace
    • Why aren’t doors opening for me?


    This season's theme is Land in Your Deservingness. We're going to make contact with our infinite deservingness and find safety in wanting more and holding more. More money. More opportunities. More responsibility. More influence. More impact. More aligned friendships. More purpose in our career or business and the list goes on.


    The transformation available to you is evolving beyond the blocks you might have around money, self-worth or the unique value you bring to the world.

  • 2 things to know before asking for more money.
    Feb 24 2024

    Dearest you.


    Whether or not your boss approves your pay rise request can feel personal, but I'd like to offer you a reframe and also the advice that will put you in the strongest position to get paid what your contribution is worth.


    Welcome to a brand-new episode format where I take the questions I get asked the most as a conscious career and business mentor, and offer my advice in a short but value-packed episode of Offline, The Podcast.


    How do I ask my boss for more money without getting them offside? What if they say no, will it be weird after that?


    I hope my advice helps you or someone you love that deserves more than they're currently getting.

  • Checking in with Jasmine Dowling.
    Jan 27 2024

    Dearest you.


    This episode was recorded live at Sundays Offline, Brisbane on November 11, 2023. Jasmine and I catch up on what we've both moved through in the four years between honest conversations. We explore the lessons life has offered us and Jasmine shares some very good news. We hope you adore our chat and that you feel like you are right there in the room with us.


    I’d love to send my sincerest thanks to:


    • Cass and Newstead Studios for hosting Offline once again in your beautiful creative space
    • My cherished co-creator Kymberly Louise for your effortless and calm event management style. You are literally the reason I could just roll in and do my thing
    • Lunae Sparkling for our crystal-infused refreshments, so very Offline
    • The stunning and interesting Miss Midgely’s for hosting me the night before the event. Miss Midgley’s is a 160 year-old heritage home that has had many lives. The house was recently reimagined as a heritage guesthouse by mother and daughter Lisa and Izzie. It’s perfectly positioned on James Street in New Farm so if you’re looking for somewhere just that little bit more special to stay, you’ll adore Miss Midgley’s
    • Zoey from Senncha Studio for the incredible event images — you can see these on the @getoffline.co Instagram account
    • Another cherished co-creator Jess from Hanako Studio for creating such a perfectly abstract floral arrangement

  • You can do it. You can work for yourself.
    Dec 2 2023

    Dearest you.


    Goodbye Girl Boss. The new era of entrepreneurship is here and it's service-led, life-giving and seasonal.


    We are not here to work more than we live or to be contained to a rigid 9-5 schedule that leaves us very little free time to follow our bliss. We are here to experience everything our one, big life has to offer and to contribute to the evolution of all things along the way.


    The system we've been conditioned to subscribe to simply can't support our fullness and our wholeness. It can't move with the natural and intrinsic seasons and cycles that exist within a diverse and expressed life.


    So it's time to build our own system. It's time to believe in our innate resourcefulness and our ability to successfully work for ourselves.


    I hope you say yes.

  • Checking in with Nadia Fairfax-Wayne.
    Aug 19 2023

    Dearest you.


    This episode is part of my long-running Self Care Sundays mini-series in partnership with Estée Lauder. For the past four years, I’ve sat down with some of the brand’s local ambassadors and friends to have an honest conversation about self care, skincare and success.


    In keeping with this season’s theme of checking-in with past guests, today I am curled up on the lounge with Nadia Fairfax-Wayne — a leading Australian creative, fashion influencer and the editor of Fairfax Journal.


    A lot has happened in the four years between honest conversations. She got engaged, married, converted to her husband’s religion, bought a home, renovated and decorated it, broke up with a close friend (a life event that led her to therapy) and so much more. I wanted to talk about it all.


    We hope you love it and that it feels like you’re in the room with us.

  • Where is “there” & how will you know you’ve arrived?
    Jul 1 2023

    Dearest you.


    Imagine a professional reality that is entirely unsubscribed from hustle culture, comparison and the relentless pursuit of a definition of success that no longer feels true for you. Imagine waking up every single day feeling like you’re living a life you’ve chosen, and that the shape of your day is weighted evenly between meeting your own needs, the needs of the people you love and the needs of the business you work for or the one you own. And that on some days, there’s no need at all. There’s just rest. Play. Pleasure.


    This can be real and I know this to be true because I am living this professional reality. I’ve gone from hustling and grinding to a level of grounded that makes me walk and talk slow. From pushing my career in a particular direction to simply letting it unfold. From over-analysing my next move to trusting that what's meant for me won't miss me. From feeling like I was compromising my values to now leading a thriving business that is built on my values.


    The moment I realised what I was doing for a living was no longer a fit with how I wanted to be living and what I wanted my life to represent, I knew I had to be an agent of change. I knew I had to define my own highest vision and move in the direction of it despite what other people might think.


    What is your highest vision and will you let me help you realise it?

  • Pitching to investors, securing funding, building & launching a haircare brand.
    Jun 3 2023

    Dearest you.


    When Maeva Heim and I first sat down for an honest conversation in 2019, her texture-inclusive haircare brand, Bread, was still an idea yet to be realised. She was halfway through Seophora’s Accelerate program and four years later, we’re having a very different conversation.


    Maeva went on to secure investment and launch Bread (during the pandemic no less) and is now stocked exclusively in Sephora in Australia and multiple beauty retailers in the US including Ulta and Cult Beauty.


    She shares so many rich insights and learnings from her journey in this episode. Some highlights include:


    • Why she believes it is actually about who you know not what you know
    • What she did to build her network from knowing no-one in the industry to meeting the haircare buyer at Sephora in the States
    • What investors are looking for in pre-launch businesses
    • Her take on the role our work should play in our lives
    • Why not everyone is built to work in a start-up
    • Stepping up as a leader and CEO
    • Why operating in 2022 was harder than operating in the pandemic
    • Her observations on the VC space right now


    We had a lot of fun the second time around. Hope we offer you a lot of insight and also some giggles.
