Last week I was joined live in the studio’s of 3wbc, by the unstoppable Anna Feringa - one of Australia’s most no-nonsense voices in workplace mental health, psychological safety and wellbeing.

Hilarious & Hard-Hitting Highlights:

⭐Anna’s racy take on psychosocial health (“it’s a mess, but a good mess”)

⭐An entertaining kitchen appliance showdown: Thermomix vs. sandwich press (who knew you could cook salmon in one?)

⭐The importance of meeting people where they are—because “just reach out” often isn’t enough

⭐Why “we’re like a family here” is a massive workplace red flag 🚩

⭐Stories from Dubbo to boardrooms, bullies to board papers—and what it really takes to create safe and caring workplaces

⭐Plus, a little detour into perms, chili jam, and why laughter belongs in mental health conversations

Anna doesn’t just cut through the BS, she brings heart, humour, and hard truths that every leader and workplace needs to hear.

❤️ Come for the laughs, stay for the goosebumps. 🪿

What does it feel like, being you, today?

What It Felt Like Being Sean Menere on 94.1FM 3WBC

Sean Menere’s story is anything but linear. He recently joined me on 94.1FM 3WBC to explore the turbulence and triumph of a life that’s shifted from air traffic control to counselling - with stops in Antarctica, fatherhood, and emotional upheaval along the way.

What has emerged is an articulate, caring man, guided by curiosity and courage. Through his counselling practice, Solid Foundations and amazing initiative, The Good Uncle Project, Sean has created spaces where others feel safe to be seen, understood, and supported.

We covered the challenges of new parenthood, starting a business under pressure, and that quiet resilience that carries us through chaos. He spoke candidly of childhood bullying, insecure attachment, and being a victim of intimate partner abuse - topics rarely voiced by men.

His stories of Antarctica, the birth of his daughter Evelyn, and the passing of a dear friend painted a rich picture of connection, grief, and showing up when it matters most. There was levity, too, in Paul Kelly songs, cryptic music requests, and tell of a wrist injury that turned into a personal best push-up record.

Sean’s passage, from Virgin Blue to the wilds of Antarctica and beyond can remind us that life rarely moves in a straight line. It’s a powerful reflection on the human capacity to adapt, take responsibility, and make the most of what we have, rather than being held back by what we don’t. Thank you, Sean, for showing us what’s possible.

❤️ Come for the laughs and stay for the goosebumps 🪿.
