After a chance meeting in Cronulla, Linda Seymour ; An Independent candidate for the seat of Hughes, shared her story, struggles and success.
She is described as Intelligent, Curious and Independent.
Linda was the only female in her Architect Design Degree, became mum to two girls, and was born and still lives in the Sutherland Shire.
Her incredible insight into grass roots representation has been a passion that together with other like minded residents created the 'We are Hughes' movement.
Her success to date is attributed to her integrity and commitment to the environment and ensuring issues such as local communities are well resourced and represented.
Linda has seen the world change, overcome personal battles of judgement and she reflects how once she would cower at the inappropriate, disrespect and unkind, she now calls it out.
"Women should have to be the champions in the fight' - Linda
The online trolling in this campaign has been nothing short of what has come to be expected in the political arena but Linda says her feet are firmly on the ground and the people around her are the force field that allows her to stay focused on the job ahead.

'Community Spirit is important'
Meet Cr Leanne Farmer, who was recently elected to the Sutherland Shire Council and will be your representative in A Ward for the next 2.5 years.
Leanne has lived in the Shire all of her life, creating a family, lifelong friendships and building a business that supports parents who need care for the their children outside the usual hours.
Leanne is passionate about preserving the beach side lifestyle and progressing local services. As an independent, Leanne brings a perspective that many residents have expressed. She is one of the 7 female councillors during this history making election.
She is committed to understanding what locals want and upholding the responsibilities of the Council.
Leanne is a business woman, mother and local identity who is approachable and understanding of the need to rebuild our sea side community and would love to see the rest centre resurrected.
You'll find out more about Leanne on the Shire Independents website.

'She is the First Female Mayor elected to the Upper Lachlan'.
Pam Kensit migrated from Ireland to Australia 32 years ago. She lives on a rural property with husband David, called 'Moorabinda', just outside Crookwell, NSW. An active community member and volunteer, she has raised 2 children and a menagerie of pets including Audrey and Abbey.
An acclaimed artist, Pam exhibits every 3 years in Sydney and until recently would tend to the farm, paint in her studio, muster sheep or spend time in the garden.
These days Pam makes the 35 minute trip into Crookwell to attend to duties bestowed upon the elected Mayor of the Upper Lachlan. Having sat on Council for a number of years, she has invested her time in standing committees that ensure the community interests are well represented. Pam says one of the first items on her agenda as mayor will be to lobby the federal government for improved communication systems in the bush.
2022 saw 5 female councillors elected to Council, with 4 men joining them to collaborate on the priorities of ensuring the farming and agriculture industries are supported. 2500 kms of roadway need to be maintained and upgraded so vital transport of stock and supplies can be transported to other areas and the city.
Also on the agenda is keeping the community groups like CWA, Rotary, The Mens Shed, Probus and View Club, who lobby for social change and support vulnerable residents thriving. Alongside Pam is the power house, Deputy Mayor, Mandy McDonald, which is proving to be a force of nature that matches any weather event.
Pam and I end this interview by cooking up tasty ideas for the Crookwell Potato Festival that celebrates 200 years.
Over the years, Pam has developed strong connections to resettled Ireland migrants and regularly attend events that connect those who left during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, which spanned three decades between 1960's-1998.
With a slight accent and an infectious laugh, Pam warmly welcomes her community members to come and 'chat' to her in chambers. It was a privilege to visit her farm during sheering season, laugh over lunch looking out on the expansive garden and whilst deep in conversation we get to the heart of why she put her hand up for the top job.
Pam is also a published author and during the 2020-21 lockdown sat down to write her latest book Poems Outside The Fold. She is best known for her novel 'Dust to Mud', the contribution of a bush community to WW1.
Pam is described by her colleagues as a natural born leader who does the doing. She is known as a collaborative leader, patient and grateful for the opportunities the Australian country life has given her.
Please reach out to Pam with any comments or questions

Women Should Be Two Things : Who She Wants and What She Wants.
There is no doubt the ground swell of female voices stepping forward to contribute ideas and innovation is growing. No longer are women prepared to be silenced, stay silent or remain quiet when the systems and rules fail to take into consideration the issues and concerns of women and girls.
This is the first in a series of interviews with women who have stepped into roles of representation at Local, State and Federal Government.
Today I am speaking with Cr Laura Cowell, of Ward E, who as a local resident in the Sutherland Shire openly shares why she believed she was the right person for a seat on Council. Laura shares her experience and commitment to creating a safer, equal and well serviced sector of the local government.
Representing her community, residents and sporting arenas, Laura says the role was a steep learning curve that she is quickly embracing so she can make a difference in the next 2 years and 9 months.

'There's Injustice, Corruption and it's Archaic.' - Grace Orah describes the current Family Law system as the opportunity to continue the abuse she was subjected to in her relationship. A process that places children in the middle of parents in conflict and on a battleground where no one wins.
Australian Family Law is in a national crisis, with jurisdictions failing to take responsibility and be held accountable for the safety, security and sanity of parents and children.
The Child is the play book for navigating the Family Court of Australia. Written from the experience of a de-identified author with the hope other parents who find themselves unable to afford the extraordinary costs of a lawyer, can educate and arm themselves with the tactics and games played inside and outside, the walls of a court room.
https://lnkd.in/guxGvmR6 Available on Amazon for $7.99
The Child is not only one woman's story but the guide to the processes, rules and strategies she was subjected to by her child's father's lawyers. Described as 'Repugnant and Neglectful' this mother became the enraged lioness you'd expect. Forced to defend baseless lies that lacked evidence, Grace shares how she continues to recover from these false allegations and the impact of prolonged proceedings that do not hold the abuser accountable.
"A new Family System! (Note the word Court is removed!), that cradles our children, uses words that heal, supports victims, offers peace and guidance, brings justice and leaves no one financially destroyed!" #oneforall
If you are experiencing domestic abuse, violence, post separation or legal systems abuse you can reach out for support to 1800 RESPECT.
Please note our guest on this podcast has been de-identified for her safety and that of her child. Currently, Section 121 of the Family Law Act prohibits the publication of any specifics that are liable to identify a party to a family law proceeding. However, the provision has attracted criticism from those who say it leads to lack of transparency and accountability in the family court system.
This means that the general community does not know a lot about the processes and procedures involved in the family law system. People are also often unaware of the factors that courts take into account and the decisions that judges make.
Some journalists feel that the provision does more harm than good. Author and journalist Jess Hill in her 2019 book about family violence See What You Made Me Do, argues that Section 121 ‘allows bad behaviour within the system to go unchecked.’
This is the story of the Powerful Vs Powerless.
In this International Women's Day episode, Pip speaks with Bron Williams, The Bias Specialist. Bron's lived experience and expertise has given her the opportunity to have those difficult and awkward conversations with people who demonstrate unconscious bias. With empathy and respect Bron brings to the surface, and consciousness, the bias created during childhood, through our education, experience and environment.
- This year International Women’s Day is asking everyone to Imagine a gender equal world.
- A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.
- A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
- A world where difference is valued and celebrated.
- And I’d like to add a world where respect and kindness are the foundations.
- Together we can forge women's equality.
- Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.
At 16.20 - 17 minutes Bron explains when ‘difference is felt as a threat’ and how we as humans respond to the unknown through the lens of our preconceived bias.

Most work places fall under federal law, so how this intersects with NSW Public Health Orders is causing confusion.

Finally, case law is currently in favour of employers releasing employees who are not vaccinated. However, not all angles have yet been tested in court.

You could not get a more iconic brand than Intimo, and in this series, Bra Fitting Specialist and Executive Director Philippa Aslanis shares the stories of the 'women behind the brand'.
Each guest is an Intimo business owner who joined a supportive community for their own reason. They work their own hours and have been doing the 'remote' business practices that Covid has imposed on everyone, for years.
You'll come to hear the challenges, big wins and the stuff you can't google. There is fun, laughter and a few tears as they share how becoming a bra fitting specialist and business owner has helped them help women to find the comfort of an everyday item and the confidence in their body to do and be, whatever and whereever they are.

Introducing an extraordinary women's executive role model - Sue Cudmore, an experienced Executive and Board Director and successful Entrepreneur.
You will learn more about Sue's career progression from nurse to entrepreneur, and the walk-up to corporate as the Alliance (ACIA) General Manager of Recruitment Solutions Group Australia and Board Director of The Australian Community Industry. She shares her lifelong mantra "Change is the only constant" and how this has served her professional and personal lives.
Sue talks more on the growth mindset, strategic thinking and the power of flow you can harness when combined with your intuition i.e. your internal guidance system. We reflect, review and consider how to do business in this new world with COVID-19 with a focus on the health industry.
We define personal narratives and the gift we have all been given to pause and truly see what is important to keep in our lives and discard what is stagnant and sabotaging the flow.
The highlight of the podcast is Sue revealing her 'Personal Toolkit' of things that she feels are important to adapt to change and be the best leader. These include:
- have an inquiring mind and self-belief;
- having motivation and desire; and
- critical thinking to analyse experiences for what you can learn from them.
We seal the podcast with accepting the natural process of evolution that opens the pathway for resolution. Therein lies the concept of legacy, and with this at the forefront of your mind you will be focused to live your best life now.
We hope you are inspired by Sue's experience of life and learn more about harnessing your human potential. Stay light!

Welcome to The Gap - An International Mens Day Podcast dedicated to speaking to the men who are making the difference in mental health awareness and de-stigmatising mental illness, by having the conversation other men need to hear.
This is a podcast for the men who are looking for strategies and the women that are supporting them. Suicide is preventable, it requires a conversation that meets men and young boys where they are at in that moment.
This podcast is busting the myth that men bottle things up. In this series you'll find people like Matty John, a father, son, coach and friend who has lived experienced, and combined his pain and passion for photography to raise money for Life Line.
His image (in the tile) captures a lone walker on a Newcastle Beach, mirroring the feelings of isolation, loneliness and what sometimes seems like the long walk of recovery. It was recently exhibited and sold.
As well as being committed to being there for friends and his players in the footy arena in their time of need, he is finding connections within his community. After loosing his best mate to suicide, hear how a random afternoon at the beach captured the last priceless image of a Life Saver that his family will treasure forever.
Men are facing a national crisis. The Suicide Gap is a concern for the women in their lives. We must come together, support the services doing the work and share the personal stories of the struggle.

Mel is a Dr of International Law who specialises in genocide studies. She has spent a lot of time in the field visiting significant sites of conflict and war museums, as well as interviewing survivors and their families.
But as you can imagine, the subject matter takes its toll. Listening to the horrifying things people do to each other, as well as the isolation of long solo trips to places like Armenia, Bosnia and Cambodia have proven challenging.
Listen to Mel talk about the support networks that make it possible to keep going with the work, the passion that fuels her research and the book she is working on that seeks to reveal the patterns of behaviour that have preceded every genocide event ever.

Along the way I created 52 episodes of insightful and inspirational conversations with the incredible people who have become the fibres in my fabric of truth. Friends, mentors, practitioners and coaches, who from their own experiences, help those who want to be helped.
Like you, I have come to accept that 'life challenges' strike at any time. Some you see coming, others side swipe you from out of the blue, calling on every fibre in your being to weather the storm.
What I learnt was how to shut out the world's mess, control what I can and be who I need to be, for myself and as a consequence have the capacity to be that someone for others.
Empowerment is a switch only you have. So I hope this podcast enables you and provides the time and space to reduce the overwhelm.
The Elements of Empowerment is a series of interviews and research into the personal characteristics we value in others and the virtues admired by most.
Confidence, Optimism, Respect, Trust, Forgiveness, Self Belief, Strength and Gratitude are just some of the 52 elements of empowerment that have been packaged up for you to reflect upon, remind yourself and recognise your own self worth.
This biggest killer of dreams is doubt and all you need is one person to believe in you. So I am here. I am that person. You are not your past, your mistakes or poor choices. You have capacity and potential. So let's find out what that looks like.
Melissa and Peter’s son Jordan was 18 years old and an apprentice carpenter when he attended his first work Christmas party. Later that night, he decided to get in the car and drive to the Gold Coast to visit his mates. He was 2.5 times over the limit and he hit a stationary car and killed its four occupants.
Melissa and Peter share the story of the aftermath of the accident, including the grief, guilt, sense of responsibility and overwhelming motivation to share their story in the hope that they will save young lives.

Mark was on a client call when his daughter’s mother kept calling. And calling. And calling. It was unusual so he cut his work call short and called her back, only to discover that his 10 year old daughter, Mina, was in an ambulance on the way to hospital.
Mina had suffered a brain haemorrhage and had lost one third of the functioning of her right brain hemisphere. Her left side had lost feeling and mobility.
This was the beginning of a 2.5 year battle to help Mina regain her independence, while also questioning the medical establishment’s normal procedures around rehabilitation.
Mark shares how he got through it, as well as the emotional fall-out that occurs when the crisis is over.

R WE OK? R U OK? Yep we did it again. In this episode of the Bean There? Podcast we sat front and centre at Bianchini's , Cronulla. An Italian styled cafe looking over the sands of Elouera Beach. Coffee was great but the guests were better and the conversation got deep.
Part 1
We were so grateful to have Grant Bomber Barker share his story of kick boxing and the ever lasting struggle with self doubt. He was open and honest, reflecting on his upbringing and beliefs of what it means to 'be a man' today and the one and only time he ever felt confident he was going to win. As the owner of Strong Arm Boxing 'Bomber spoke to Junior Sports Reporter Dylan about what it takes to be a 2 x world champion kick boxer. At 57 he still trains twice a day x 5 times a week and is an advocate for mens mental health.
Dianna 'Porkey' McKay, former Police Officer in child protection investigation, shared her challenges in a male dominated job when mental health was never spoken about. Porkey is that person who is 'glass half full, optimistic and positive but knows the reality of life'. As the educator of Elouera SLSC is committed to protecting children and educates our young surfing community about life skills, community and being there for one another - vowing that whilst ever there is a threat to our children's safety it won't happen on her watch. - love this chick.
Part 2
Mostapha from RUOK drops in to share the importance of the conversation after asking the question RUOK? and how the brand has created a safe space for people to share their struggle without judgement.

Keith knows more than anyone what it’s like to run towards trouble. During his time as an undercover police officer, he dealt with some of Australia’s most violent criminals, drug lords and crooked cops. He is also one of the most highly decorated police officers to have ever come out of the Qld police force and has dealt with his fair share of trauma - his own and other people’s - resulting in undiagnosed PTSD.
Keith shares some of the stories from his career, as well as the ways he came to terms with those incidents, the power of martial arts, the healing power of the writing process and the moment he finally forgave himself.

"As Australians we have a deep love of our coast line and a real stewardship and responsibility to our oceans and once we know the problem is through the science and fact we collect, we can find the solutions.' - Nat, Head of Marine Science for The Abyss Project.
We speak to the Owner of Vitalo, Patti who shares her love of nourishing humans with good clean healthy food and our environment with sustainable options like the recently adopted Green Caffeen swap and go coffee cups.
'The second largest contributor of waste is the single use coffee cup and it is an unknown expense to the owner that can be eliminated by the encouraging reusable and recyclable coffee cups, so we'll drink to that'
Di from Whistlecomms chatted with Sarah Jo about her role in bring the Green Caffeen dream to life and her journey with the innovative creators behind the concept.
Patti has seen first hand how her cafe has become an essential service in her community during these times. With the isolation imposed, Vitalo has become a hub of human connection where people have made time to chat, talk and check in with others.
Local resident Mel, and creator of the Lilli Pilli Hub, on instagram and the biannual markets at Lilli Pilli Infants School dropped in to meet friends and shared why she started what has become the go to place to find those local home based businesses and hand made products. Whilst she is the owner of a large sized family business, the Waratah Group Services, with her husband, Lilli Pilli Hub and Markets have given her the opportunity to deeply connect with her community. 'Everybody has a story, I have a back story and I like to understand the back story of others, I find people fascinating and it helps me to understand myself better.' says Mel.
At one point we have three environmental scientists around the table and they were all young inspiring women passionate about finding the simple solutions and alternatives that not only protect what we have but have a deep concerns for the massive consequences of our future generations if we do nothing. One of these was the young and inspiring Chloe, from the Greater Good Collective who has started her own online store providing environmentally sustainable goods that she hopes will one day be the norm, not an option.
In this episode we bring over 46 businesses into the spotlight, 32 environmental alternatives and 8 engaging people for one huge conversation centred around the importance of the health and wellbeing of our community and the impact of the health and wellbeing of our environment upon it.
There is so much more packed into this episode than I can write about here. Check out the blog for time stamps and the businesses we showcased. Thank you Vitalo, thank you Lilli Pilli. We look forward to coming back and supporting you and your community, keeping it beautiful just like the people that reside there.
Janelle says that she started grieving the day her mum was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
This incurable disease - and the heartbreaking experience of watching her beloved mother succumb to its effects - became the pivot point of Janelle's life.
But there were other issues that arose - the caring commitments and how to best manage them, tensions between Janelle and her siblings, and the inevitability of planning a funeral.

WOW! What an incredible few months it's been!
Around the 22 March 2020, when all of her exisiting photography bookings were either cancelled or postponed Sophie B, decided that she wanted to capture this time in our lives and photograph the 'faces' of people in business in the Sutherland Shire. Sophie set up a Facebook Page and an Instagram Page titled, 'Sutherland Shire Open 4 Business'.
The idea is simple, a 30 minute photo session, capturing the people of businesses, supply 3 images and follow up with 3 social media posts.
By May 28, she had photographed a total of 50 businesses and reached over 650 followers on Facebook and over 165 followers on Instagram.
Absolutely overwhelmed by the encouragement and support of the community for this Personal Photography Project, Sophie went on to promise another 50 businesses the same service at no cost. Within a week she had a further 20 books and by the beginning of July as restrictions eased, she had reached her target. To read more about the impact of this project click on the Community Projects Page -------->
This talented photographer has provided over $39.5K in photography, marketing and social media services to 100 businesses for free. Her family has supported her drive to make an impact and true to her nature, Sophie has gone out and created the community she wants to be a part of. She is nothing short of inspiring, doing what she loves, being who she is and sharing it with the world.
From all of us Soph, Thank You. If you would like to provide a testimonial, comment or a story of the impact this project had on you personally or professionally, please contact us at ShirePOD on hello@sutherlandshirepodcaststation.com.au.

Did you know that car accidents have a particular smell? Ex-police officer Brett says that it’s one of the things that will stay with him forever.
According to Brett, a normal day in the life of a first responder involves attending the scenes of car accidents, domestic violence incidents and suicides and, that when he first joined the force, the preferred organisational method of coping with this daily trauma was a trip to the pub.
Brett’s interview sheds light on the toxic culture of the police force, the psychological fallout from extended exposure to it, and the lifesaving healing he found in long distance running.

During a time of isolation and disconnection from our external world, Chris shares the secrets of tantra yoga, a practice that focuses on community, knowing that physical and spiritual well-being are as much related to exercise and nutrition, as they are to a sense of connectedness with others, one’s self, one’s surroundings and the world.

Event producer Harry was attending an industry exhibition in Melbourne when he headed out on a day trip that was part of the program. He greeted the driver as he boarded the bus but little did he know that this driver would almost kill him 15 minutes later.
Harry was one of 13 passengers who were involved in the accident, and one of six who ended up in ICU when the 3.8m high bus went under a 3m overpass.
Suffering devastating injuries, amnesia and, later, depression and PTSD, Harry’s story takes a remarkable turn when he becomes involved in an appeal for the driver.

’During this week being Men's Health week, I met with Craig Ball who is a Men’s Mental Health Speaker and former special forces soldier in the Australian Army in Afghanistan. Craig was a wealth of knowledge and experience to speak to, we drilled down and got honest about what’s really going on for men at the moment with the statistics of male suicide at an all time high. Craig spoke about how we can best support men and gave some useful tips for both individuals that being young men or older, and also for their loved ones or significant other to break through and transform to overcome some of the most stressful events of their lives.

Episode 7: Elise - Breaking (up) bad
You know what you don’t want to happen when you’re expecting your first baby? Firstly, you don’t want your husband to break up with you. And you don’t want the baby to arrive five weeks early. You definitely don’t want to spend the first two months of your daughter’s life in neonatal ICU. But then when you get out, you really don’t want the whole city you live in to be in COVID-19 lockdown and the only person you’re allowed to see is your ex - yep, the same guy that dumped you right before your baby was born.
While all that’s going, you don’t want to have to figure out how to run your dance studio online while you care for your newborn.
So what do you do if all those things happened to you, all at once? Hear Elise share her story - possibly the Greatest Shit Show of them all.
Annmarie is the epitome of grace and composure, an image that doesn’t hint at the great sorrow she has suffered: the premature death of her brother in an accident when she was just 20.
But this is not the only trauma she has grappled with throughout her life. When she was in high school, she began her battle with an eating disorder that shrank her body while at the same time it improved her sense of control and confidence.
Following her brother’s death, this desire for control arose again - this time, with the autonomy of adulthood to enable it. Hear how Annmarie was able to kick the habit, all the while living with the sorrow of missing her big bro.
Journalist John was in Tangalle in Southern Sri Lanka on Boxing Day, 2004. He says he heard the tsunami before he saw it - like the low roar of a jet engine. Initially it lapped against the steps of his shack and slowly receded, only to return with a cataclysmic force that decimated nearly everything - and everyone - on the beach.
Find out how John and his wife Cheryl managed to survive a tsunami that killed over 30,000 people in Sri Lanka alone, where you go when everything around you is destroyed, and what happened when he returned to Australia and had to deal with what he’d experienced.
