My guests in the studio today were Jean Gamble who work in private practice and Trudi-Anne Carmody who works as a hairdresser and has a wealth of experience connecting with clients on any number of issues.
​
This interview was full of humour about the reality of peri-menopause, menopause and post menopause yet is applicable to anyone who knows, lives, or is a woman of any age :-) 

I am so honoured to have hosted this conversation with 2 very experienced workers in the domestic abuse field - Senior Constable Malcolm Baker and Peter Foster. 

I hope you develop an understanding of abuse and our responsibility to all be part of the solution.

My guests were Mary Wilson co-presenter from the Hubbub, Bev Carter from It's Time To Shine and Donna Gianniotis from Yoga and Healing. I also have an interview with Annabel Daniel from Women's Community Shelters.

The audio is well worth listening to...apologies for the speed that I start the show - I am sure the conversation has sped me up...surely I don't speak that fast...unless perhaps the rush of morning accompanied me into the studio for the opening chat of the show... a good lesson :-)

Some photos from the day...
