Women of Influence with Kate Meade

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade for ACE Radio.

We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story.

She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message?

Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us.

I love to learn and my favourite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today.

Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do?

This is the Women of Influence Podcast.

For ACE Radio Hosted by Kate Meade Produced by Sophie Jackson

On your knees praying to anyone that will listen; please keep my daughter earth side. This is a pain so real it hits you at the very core. Sophie is a single Mother with two daughters; India, 16 and Violet, 14. In 2017, after months of panic attacks and school refusal, India was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. In 2018, this diagnosis escalated to severe social anxiety and clinical depression. She moved schools for her as she wanted a fresh start, and that seemed to help for six months, then India's anxiety became heightened due to her social surroundings and she went downhill fast. In 2019 the self-harming began, then in the march the suicide attempts started.  Fast forward to 2022 and Sophie has started the Please Stay Foundation. She is a woman of Influence…   FOLLOW US Instagram: @womenofinfluencepodacst Kate: @kateemeade     The Women of Influence is a partner of iHeart Radio and Produced by Shoosh Productions.

We have now heard the story of Niamh. Now it's time to hear from Will and Nigel.  Dads to Jones.  This is the first time we have had the males featured on the Women of Influence Podcast.  And it's soooooo good to have them. 

It just feels right to hear the full story of Niamh, and Jones, Will and Nigel.  I was working with Will at the time Jones was born and I have to say even I; who didn’t know Will and Nigel all that well at the time, felt nothing but a burst of love when Jones entered the world.  All babies are special when they enter the world…but some; some feel like, look like…. I don’t know how to put it other..... than super special. Truly a burst of love….

A note to Will and Nigel.  Thank-you for sharing your story with us. Not only is it the story of becoming a family but it's educational too.  From my wardrobe to your office thank-you for being here with us. Love Kate

Cancer.

It's such a huge part of Kristen's life.

Just surviving to be here for her children, her husband, her family. 

And while it's an ongoing concern, it's not all of Kristen's story. 

I have always admired a woman that can ride a horse. It's a special bond. One I will never truly understand. Kristen tells the tale of the ride of her life. A story we can only imagine to experience. As good as any Olympic story. A reminder for us all that it's never about coming first in anything.

When you are in labour, at your most vulnerable it is someone like Kirsty that you want in the room. A woman that is awe of the power and strength of what women's bodies can achieve. Kirsty is so aimed. At 35, in her words, after being straight for 35 years fell in love. This is a story of the joy and heartache of bringing life into this world and coming out in a small community. This is the story of strength and for me (Kate) admiration. To fall in love and it be like something from a movie is what we all can only hope and dream for. Kirsty found it. This story will make you smile from your soul.

Seriously though. Why are we talking about night sweats? Why aren't we talking about menopause as easy as we talk about the Royals. 'Oh she is going through the change'.......Well guess what ladies, this just isn't helpful. We just have to talk. Women should not be forgotten. Not in marketing, not in life, not anytime. For Wendy it started with Night Sweats and ended with her launching her own business. Sleepwear to combat night sweats. And women around the globe are rejoicing. So come enjoy the conversation about Night Sweats. Have I said it enough yet? I hope not!

As a kid she played cricket with the boys. She didn't think anything of it. In fact. SHE LOVED IT. It's fair to say Bec still loves it. Playing for the state, photographing weddings, raising children, keeping the country safe and prepared for fire season. Bec is one of the most down to earth people you will meet. Still playing cricket, passing on the passion to the next generation. This is a local cricket legend. This is country cricket in Australia at it's best.

You will feel nothing but energy.

This was Anna's nomination: 

She picnics at the top of the tallest trees a person can find, she rock climbs with her dog slung around her shoulders. Movement is like breathing to Anna and she is a fearless adventurer.

The best part, she takes people along with her, always teaching, encouraging and believing in them. Anna is a woman of influence because she stops to look people dead in the eye and say, 'but how are YOU?'

She sees into people in a way most don't and then invites them into her world to access whatever it is they might need.

A chat, community, a yoga class, an art session, a laugh, a hula hoop or fire twirling lesson, you name it.

Anna has time for people and she has compassion for people. She's seen all sorts of things in life, but she doesn't discriminate between someone being upset over a spilled coffee or a significant trauma.

Anna's personal philosophy is inclusion. So when she had a knee replacement recently and had to stop all movement, she thought that'd possibly break her.

But in true Anna style, life has only improved since. achievements: received multiple scholarships and worked part time to support herself through school as a teenager managed to get into a uni course underage because she proved she can go above and beyond, and then she aced it a kinship carer as a teenager / young adult art therapist play therapist works with children and teenagers in multiple capacities who have experienced significant trauma  yoga teacher breath work facilitator workshops, retreats, camps, groups, one on ones

Trigger Warning this episode speaks of the loss of a child

Amie is the mother of three beautiful girls.

Bella, Sadie & Willow in heaven.

When Sadie was born, Amie whispered to the heavens 'Thank-you Willow'

Birthing twins, celebrating, and grieving life in one day (the way Amie describes it could not be more beautiful) and the breakdown of her marriage.

And yet today, she swims, she looks for her calling and has made the decision to talk more and as often as she can about mental health.

She stands.

Nothing can break her.

Abbey Drinkell is our youngest Woman of Influence. She is 10 Years Old.

Abbey has always been a creative child and not surprising when both sides of her family are creative in various genres singing, performing, music, drawing the list is endless.  Although all these seemed to have skipped me (mum) but they have resulted in a melting pot of creativity for Abbey.

Abbey has been involved in Primary Performers where she has participated in performances of The Mikado and Beauty and the Beast, done an Animation Class through One Day Studios.

Abbey's all time passion is drawing and has been for the last 4 years, she draws in both digital and free hand and it is rare to see her without pen and paper or her ipad.

Abbey hopes to one day create her own tv show and at the moment her drawing leans towards the comic style of illustration.

To say drawing is an obsession is an understatement and she is constantly striving to better herself.

Abbey is the designer of the first limited edition Women of Influence T-Shirt.

It is very early days. I haven’t begun treatment but the mastectomy is on 22nd July. I don’t have much of a story to tell yet but I hope in the future my journey will help others. And CHECK YOUR BOOBS. Pass the word to all your friends. If something doesn’t feel right, get it checked straight away. Sorry to put it on you but you are in a position to get the word out.

Founder of THE KINDNESS PANDEMIC- a project that sits under the social enterprise

Celebrating Ageing www.celebrateageing.com

You can find THE KINDNESS PANDEMIC here>>> (https://www.facebook.com/groups/515507852491119/)

Catherine is at a time of greatest challenges a voice of Kindness and empathy.  This is just the beginning. Catherine believes that ageing is a privilege and that older people are one of the most interesting and wonderful cohorts of humans.

She also believes that ageism is so culturally entrenched that few can see it in its entirety - and so the strategies to create cultural change had better be very powerful.

This led the the art and narratives based approaches now taken by Celebrate Ageing.

Stories build empathy and compassion, art engages people interest. Catherine draws on her experiences as a nurse, an aged care worker, an academic and an artist to pull together a unique social enterprise that utilises art and narrative to bridge the knowledge (research) to practice (culture) gap.

On this Episode we talk about- Loving the elderly in the communityArt and StoriesThe Kindness PandemicMaking changeWhat next and how do we help This episode was recorded on Monday the 23rd of March via Zoom.

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade for ACE Radio.

We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story.

She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message?

Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us.

I love to learn and my favourite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today. Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do?

This is the Women of Influence Podcast.
