Rachael Sarra’s art is having a moment.

You’ll see it on the side of buses, buildings, on the official team uniform of the firebirds, in the packaging of Lush cosmetics, on postage stamps and even at the entrance of more than a dozen KMART stores.

Her art tells the story of being a proud, modern, indigenous woman. But it’s her story of ‘becoming’ she shares with us today. Of figuring out her place as she straddled two worlds.

In this episode we talk about navigating the pitfalls of social media and processing systemic and casual racism

I had the great pleasure of being on a panel with Rachael recently at a talk we gave to high school students and I was blown away by her wisdom and vulnerability.

Lee has ridden the confidence rollercoaster professionally.

And personally. Highly publicised break-ups and losing his mum.

In this episode, we talk about it all. Including, what it’s like to date as a single dad.

On this final episode of Season One I’m sharing with you the story that took me the longest time to publicly tell. There was a lot of shame, fear and worry about what other people would think of me. And that kept me kind of hiding this, almost like a dirty secret, for several years.

It’s the story of the panic attack I had on television while I was reading the news live on air a few years ago.

I know many of you may now know about this - I’ve written and spoken about it a little before and the story’s appeared in major newspapers - but I wanted to specifically share the exact steps (there are five main ones) I took to make a subsequent confidence comeback.

THEN… Part Two of today’s episode is a Q and A! You guys have sent me some brilliant questions (haha, including about my love life… which I answer!!) and I had a lot of fun with these. In fact, there are some things I’ve never shared with ANYONE!

She gives us a warts-and-all view into how motherhood changes EVERYTHING from your boobs, to your love life and the gloriously messy chaos of everything in between.

In this conversation Amy gives us a peek behind the curtain into her life behind the instagram account, where she gets the confidence to create her content and choose what to share; the hard lesson she recently learned when she found the media spotlight on her for all the wrong reasons; and her personal confidence challenge she’s working on right now.
