Todays episode is the 4th instalment of 30, Flirty & Thriving. We're joined by someone very close to the pod - Brooke Cassen. Brooke had an incredible career as a dancer in the Australian Ballet, before pivoting into Real Estate. More Recently, she has since turned her focus to some new chapters in her career and life as a mum. Brooke shares her experiences as ballerina, from leaving home at 14 to join the Australian Ballet School, to performing on some of the biggest international stages. We chat through the highs and lows, the driving forces behind her decision to retire and pursue a new career journey in commercial real estate and finding her new love in being a mum. Thank you so much Brooke for sharing your story with us. IG: @brookecassen

Todays episode is the 3rd instalment of 30, Flirty & Thriving. We chat to our creative genius of a friend Morgan Tait Timberlake.
Morgan is currently the Art Director at P.E Nation and Co-Founder of accessories brand CEE CLEAR. She shares her career highlights - like the time she peed in Miranda Kerr's bathroom - and how she got to where she is today.
We chat about her journey in love with her husband Steve, and balancing work, friendships & marriage . At the end of the episode, Morgan opens up about her experience with Endometriosis and her journey in diagnosis and treatment.
We feel like conversations like this are still so important in driving awareness around something that so many women suffer through silence and we're so thankful to Morgan for sharing such a raw account.
We got so much out of our conversation, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
