What began as a single Instagram story became a national reckoning.

In this episode of Future Fit Leadership, I sit down with Chanel Contos, founder of Teach Us Consent, to talk about how thousands of young people sharing their experiences forced Australia to confront what it was not teaching about consent, sex and power.

Chanel takes us back to the moment she asked one simple question online, the flood of responses that followed, and the twelve month sprint that led to consent education being mandated in schools across the country. We talk about rape culture as a system, not a single act, why consent cannot be taught as a one off lesson, and how silence quietly protects harm.

We also explore the harder conversations. Porn literacy. Online influence. The rising hostility she sees in some young men. The emotional cost of carrying thousands of stories. And what real leadership looks like when culture change, not comfort, is the goal.

This is a conversation about courage, responsibility, and what it takes to turn anger into action. Not just for educators and parents, but for leaders everywhere who shape culture whether they intend to or not.

Please enjoy this powerful and deeply important conversation.

What if you only had 4000 Sundays in your lifetime? And what if the way you work today is quietly stealing them away?

In this conversation, Dr Kristy Goodwin takes us inside her own life-altering wake-up call — a moment in a Code Red hospital ward that forced her to confront burnout, mortality, and the “success tax” so many high performers pay.

Kristy shares why our bodies keep score, how to stop crawling to Friday and start arriving at Sunday fully alive, and why protecting your focus, energy, and relationships is non-negotiable if you want to lead into the future.

This is not just about wellbeing, it’s about the kind of leaders we choose to become — human-first, sustainable, and fiercely intentional.

🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: how many Sundays do you have left, and how do you want to spend them?

In this episode of Future Fit Leadership, I sit down with Jodi Geddes – co-founder of Circle In, keynote speaker, and a passionate advocate for caregivers in the workplace.

Jodi shares her remarkable journey of building (and selling) a global platform that supports working parents and caregivers across life stages – from parental leave to menopause and beyond. We talk about the reality of returning to work after children, what true empathy in leadership looks like, and how burnout can creep up on even the strongest among us.

Jodi opens up about her personal experiences with burnout, the power of vulnerability, and why creating a psychologically safe, family-friendly workplace isn’t just nice to have – it’s essential. We also explore how leaders can role model care, build trust through storytelling, and rethink flexibility in a hybrid world.

This is a must-listen for leaders ready to embrace whole-person leadership and for anyone navigating the beautiful, messy juggle of career and caregiving.

Are you tired of feeling sluggish, achy and uninspired at work? The solution may lie in embracing micro movements throughout your day. Lizzie Williamson, a former professional dancer and wellness expert, shares her transformative approach to revitalizing the workday through simple, yet powerful bursts of activity.

Lizzie's journey began 15 years ago when she found herself in the grips of postnatal depression. The very activity that had once brought her so much joy - dancing - had become an immense struggle. Determined to reclaim her wellbeing, Lizzie started with the smallest of steps - literally.

"I just kept doing these little plies at my kitchen counter," Lizzie recalls. "Even though my head said it was pointless, there was something about that tiny sense of achievement that kept me going." This simple act of self-care was the catalyst for Lizzie's remarkable transformation and the birth of her global movement.

Lizzie's mission is to inspire a global "active workday revolution," empowering leaders and employees to embrace movement as an integral part of the modern workplace. Her book, "The Active Workday Advantage," provides a roadmap for organizations to implement simple, yet impactful changes.

"The way we're working in this century is not working," Lizzie declares. "It's time to challenge the status quo and create workplaces that prioritize the physical and mental wellbeing of our people."

So, are you ready to unlock your inner pharmacy and revolutionize your workday? Start with a simple micro movement today, and watch the transformation unfold.
