Many of us dream of staying as young as possible as long as possible - the dilemma is which pills, potions, programs are going to help us doing this? 

Trained in paediatrics, Dr Norman Swan was one of the first medically qualified journalists in Australia, with a broadcast career spanning more than 30 years. He currently hosts Radio National's The Health Report and co-hosts Coronacast. He also reports on 7.30 and is a guest reporter on Four Corners; appears on The Drum and is an occasional host of Radio National Breakfast. 

Dr Norman Swan has ventured into the area of longevity, and his latest book, ‘So you want to live younger longer?’ is the ultimate guide on what you can do at any age to stay young and healthy longer. 

We dive into the research around movement, nutrition, supplements, and for me the reminder that our brain and body are deeply connected as we navigate ageing means that how we feel, think, and level of perceived control over our experiences are just as important.

No matter what your age, So You Want to Live Younger Longer? gives you the information you need to make your own choices without wasting your time and money 

This is a great conversation that I know you’ll get as much out of it as I did. Soak up the insights, and thinking from Dr Norman Swan.

What would it take for you to be able to work with (almost) anyone? 

Michael Bungay Stanier helps people know they’re awesome and they’re doing great. 

He’s best known for his book The Coaching Habit which is the best selling book on coaching this century and is considered a classic 

His most recent book is How to Work with (Almost) Anyone and it shows how to build the Best Possible Relationship with the key people at work.

Balancing out these moments of success, he was banned from his high school graduation for “the balloon incident” (you’ll hear about that) ... was sued by one of his Law School professors for defamation ... and his first published piece of writing was a Harlequin Romance-esque story involving a misdelivered letter ... and called The Male Delivery. 

Enjoy this conversation with the thoughtful Michael Bungay Stainer.

Stand Out Moments - Emma Isaacs

Libby Trickett is a three-time Olympian (yep that's right she's competed at three ov' 'em over 12 years), who has more gold then Kayne West's posse. 

Despite her incredible achievements on the world stage, Libby reveals that she suffers from the same 'but it's not quite good enough' thoughts that all of us do. In fact it wasn't until 2016, the first year she sat down to watch the Olympics as a spectator after her career, that she now truly appreciates what she has achieved.   

In this podcast Libby reveals how she went from swimming the most devastating race of her career to winning an Olympic gold medal in the space of 15 minutes. She talks about how 2010 was the hardest year of her life as she battled with mental illness, and found solace back in the water chasing down the black line. 

Libby also talks honestly about becoming a Mum and having to get her head around that the reality is parenting is often so far removed from our expectations (it's tough when the bubble of lattes and long lunches you had planned gets burst by a bub).  

Proud of her current achievements as a Mum and her new role of QLD Mental Health Ambassador, Libby is honest about how she is now navigating this 'real world' that doesn't tell you what do along the way. 

This is one of those rare and insightful conversations that will stay with you long after you've finished listening. One that you'll want to come back to again and again.

Ep 03 Libby Trickett - Navigating life in the real world

One of Australia’s most popular female athletes, Laura Geitz has a stellar career. Captain of both QLD Firebirds and Australian netball team, the Diamonds, Laura has won both silver and gold medals at the Commonwealth Games; she lead the Diamonds to victory over the NZ Silver ferns after a 12 year drought; and won back to back championships as Captain of the Firebirds. 

Growing up on the farm in QLD Laura talks about her connection to the country, and how important family is to her. After losing her Dad to a sudden accident in 2013, it is clear that Laura had a beautiful connection to her Dad as his legacy continues on in her decisions even today. 

Family is the theme of this conversation as Laura describes how she revealed to her team that she is pregnant and will be moving onto a new role as a Mum in the change-rooms after winning the 2016 championship. 

In this conversation Laura shares insights into managing the pressures of the big moments and focusing on doing the things that you love.

Launching Women’s Health magazine as the founding editor in 2007, Felicity Harley is one of the most recognised, awarded, and loved editors in Australia. Felicity is an incredibly talented editor, who was named in Westpac’s 100 Women of Influence in 2012 for her initiative around the ‘Support Women in Sport’ campaign which aimed to bring media coverage to female athletes. 

Wife to Tom Harley (ex-Geelong captain) and Mum to two boys, Felicity unpacks her strategies for dealing with pressure and relentless change (the good news is that it does involve chocolate). She shares her excitement and anticipation as she is about to embark on new venture (WHIMN) and also gives us a couple of tips on how to stick to our goals in the new year (cause you know we’re not that great at that). 

In a real and honest way Felicity leaves us realising that the constant pursuit of balance is something we've gotta let go of.

Soak up the wisdom and warmth of Felicity Harley in this episode.

Ep 08 Felicity Harley - Celebrating the Ordinary Moments

Matina Jewell grew up in the hinterland of Byron Bay before launching into a military career that saw her embark on military and peace-keeping operations around the world. Matti had a remarkable career in the military earning eight war medals across 15 years. 

Throughout this conversation we talk about mindsets of leadership, dealing with hardship and her experience of a career-ending injury whilst on a peace-keeping mission in the Middle East.

Matti has literally been at the forefront of hardship and warfare and continues to use the strength she found in these experiences in her work today. She has learnt the power of being able to let go of control and accept the opportunities that come your way.

Ep27 Matina Jewell - Military mindsets that still matter

Tara Moss is someone that I’ve admired for years, so to be able to share a conversation in a studio with her was an absolute delight. Tara wears many hats, she’s an author with 11 best-selling books and two more in the pipeline, a documentary maker, presenter, journalist, former model, and an advocate for women and children’s rights. 

She lives and breathes her philosophy to never live the same day twice. Curious at heart, Tara shares how she was always attracted to research and words, even from a young age - where her fellow students at school made their way into her Stephen-King-like stories.  

Tara is passionate about expression and her latest book Speaking Out is a call to action for all of us to share our stories - in fact it’s not just a nice thing to do, it’s something we all collectively need to hear. 

We also chatted about self care, and when Tara mentioned that the core of self care is to just find something that makes you smile it made me want to spend a year doing random, fun things to uncover what might make me smile the most. 

This is incredible conversation and I invite you to dive into the stories shared by the beautiful Tara Moss.

Ep55 Tara Moss - Start With Backing Yourself

Whether its back in the Editor of Cosmos days, as a host on the first series of MasterChef, the face behind the international I Quit Sugar movement, whose 8-week program has been completed by 1.5 million people, through the pages of any one of her international best-selling cookbooks, or in the poetic words of her book about anxiety titled, ‘First, We Make The Beast Beautiful’, which was a New York Times best-seller - it’s likely somewhere across her career you’ve come across Sarah Wilson. 

She’s a focused self-confessed perfectionist who oozes curiosity. And it’s this deep curiousity about life, people, and living in the shit that Sarah and I connected over. 

Sarah walks her talk encouraging others to live with less through messages about minimalism and anti-consumerism, in fact her latest book just realised ’Simplicious Flow’ is a call to zero waste cooking.  We explore a bunch of topics including her experience with anxiety.  Sarah shares that writing First we make the beast beautiful was the process in her accepting her anxiety and was a form of therapy. 

This is also one of the first times Sarah shares the decision behind closing her I Quit Sugar business which she did in February this year, 2018, with the proceeds to go into her philanthropic trust. In a world of hustle and growth Sarah’s reason to go down this path is fascinating. 

Lean in, ask the questions, and get ready to be curious about life as you listen to this conversation with the ever thoughtful Sarah Wilson.

Ep57 Sarah Wilson - Do what you’re not doing

Maz Compton was the first ever guest that I had for Stand Out Life series - we chatted in Episode 1 nearly two years ago and that episode is still one of the most tuned into episodes of the entire series. So when she published a book I knew that I absolutely had to get her back into studio. 

Her book is called The Social Rebellion and it’s candid, personal and real with Maz sharing her experience of giving up alcohol, over 3 1/2 years ago. But her message is more than just putting down the beer or the bubbles - it’s a story about reconnecting with who she is and healing the wounds of the past. 

Describing herself as a social rebel, this hasn’t been an easy journey - because when you think about it when you give up the thing that numbs you from facing the hard things, you’ve got nothing left but the face the hard things.

To get real with emotions, to do the work on yourself, to face the truth. Maybe this is a relationship that you might be ready to shift too. 

Wherever you are tuning in, this conversation is well worth your time. Find out what’s driving the amazing Maz Compton.
