Turia Pitt is one of Australia’s most inspirational women. She is a wearer of many hats - an author, speaker, business owner, ambassador. She is also a runner. Running changed her life forever when, while competing in an ultramarathon in remote Western Australia, she was caught in an out of control grassfire and sustained burns to 65 per cent of her body. In this episode, Pitt joins Helen McCabe to reflect on what continues to fuel her and why she might just be “too combative”.

There’s no two ways about it, job interviews are terrifying. Like jumping out of planes or public speaking, anyone who says they have always and do always just love them and oh no they never get nervous – is flat out lying. But just like a public speaking, applying for a new job is a skill and that means through practice and hard work you can always get better. In this episode Jamila tackles how to prepare, what to apply for and what helps you stand out for the right reasons.
