Becoming your own role model through honesty, lived experience, and survival.

Laurie Edmundson is helping reshape how we understand borderline personality disorder (BPD) — not as something to fear, but as something to understand.

In this episode, Laurie shares how her journey from stigma to advocacy has created space for “super feelers” to see their emotions differently — not as a flaw, but as a form of depth.

Together, we explore the power of honesty, peer support, and what happens when lived experience becomes leadership.

This is a conversation about vulnerability, community, and the quiet ripple effect of speaking the truth.

A small town. A quiet cottage. And something that refused to be explained.

In 1921, the small town of Guyra became the centre of one of Australia’s most famous poltergeist cases. Stones smashed through windows, objects moved, and police, reporters and locals gathered around a quiet cottage — watching something they couldn’t explain.

In this episode Shannon and Megan step into the story as it unfolded, using a 1921 newspaper article to break down the events, the theories, and the mystery at the centre of it all.

At the heart of it is twelve-year-old Minnie Bowen.

A child. A house under watch. And a story that still has no clear answer.

What happens when full-time travel pushes you beyond your comfort zone?

In this episode, Australian van life creators Daniel and Elyse (Quittin’ & Trippin’) step into an experience that challenges everything they thought they knew about comfort, freedom, and living on the road.

If you’ve ever dreamed about van life in Australia, slow travel, or leaving behind routine for something more intentional, this episode offers a raw and refreshing perspective on what that actually looks like.
