Her House Podcast: Recent Episodes
Kym Kitching-Downs and Judith Bence
Her House will take you on a journey with real women that have achieved extraordinary things.
Listen as they travel through the twists and turns of this road called life and show what it has taken to get them to where they are today. Bed of roses, definitely not. Meet these women, they embrace life with gusto and strength.
In the house each week you will be inspired, touched and entertained.
It all started when Kath was searching for something stimulating, supported and fun for kids with special needs to do on the weekend. Kath’s daughter, Lara is social and outgoing, and also has intellectual and mild physical disabilities, which means she needs extra support for things like meals and dressing.
Unable to find anything suitable, Kath and her friend Tina – whose son Tom has down syndrome – decided to develop what they were looking for. And so BestLife was created. It started as a pilot program of Saturday night sleepovers – every teenager’s dream – for small groups in a house in Brisbane.
BestLife has been such a hit with kids and families that it has grown to include a variety of fun and supportive programs, sleepovers and more.

Over the past week, Kym and Judith reflected on all of the amazing women we have spoken to since our Her House journey began back in January 2021 – and all of them are absolutely amazing – so this week we decided to revisit the interview we had with Tracy back in season 1.
An indigenous Australian, Tracy is a triple congenital amputee Paralympic swimmer who won two Gold medals at the 1992 Paralympic games in Barcelona. While she retired from swimming in 1994, she went on to represent Australia at the Shanghai Women’s Sitting Volleyball Tournament in 2008.

While the book is aimed at 8 – 16 year olds, Heidi provides simple advice that we can all use – and we chat through some of these tips in our discussion with her.

This week we’re speaking to the amazing Marina who founded a Boomerang Bag community on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. By way of background Boomerang Bags is not just about making actual bags as part of a borrow and bring back system, it’s about connecting communities, diverting waste (using cute-as-a-button, handmade boomerang bags rather than plastic ones), starting conversations about sustainability and most of all meeting like-minded people who enjoy having some fun.
We speak to Marina about growing up in England, and how her upbringing set her on a path of being interested in sustainability. We talk about how she came to set up a Boomerang Bag community and how together they have made more than 5,000 bags – and in doing so diverted waste from landfill … and made lots of firm friends.

When Mel’s son, Liam, was diagnosed with Autism in 2003, she was told he wouldn’t speak or show emotion and would most likely be institutionalised.

For women in their 20s swiping left or right, hook ups, friends with benefits, dating apps and other aspects of online dating seems to be the norm. But venturing into the online dating scene for women who are over 40 is a minefield. Not least because many in that age group previously dated blokes we met at the pub or through family or friends - basically before dating sites existed!
So, what is online dating like for the more mature woman whose marriage or long-term relationship may have recently ended, who aren’t 20 anymore and have far more complicated lives?
This week, Kym and Judith talk to Kerrie, Louise and Sharon about their online dating experiences, get some insight into what it’s like, hear about the unexpected benefits of seeking a relationship online and also share some advice for other mature women who are looking online for their next partner.

Ever heard of a high functioning introvert? Either had we until we met Clare, award-winning designer, educator, mother of three and founder of The Little Design Corner (for those non-designers among us, TLDC provides online courses and resources for interior designers, decorators and stylists).
While Clare may describe herself as an introvert she has been putting herself out there since playing the Oboe as a child. From a musical background she chose a corporate career but gave that away in 2012 to pursue her passion for interior design. Since then, Clare has gone from working for free for friends to a seven-figure business. And along the way she has amassed a strong community of online followers in the design space who enjoy her daily advice and pieces of inspiration.
Through Clare’s story we learn that everything happens for a reason, why giving and sharing are gifts, and that focus and discipline can help you achieve your goals.
