Ok. It's time to talk women's health and we need to talk about it urgently. 
The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation needs our help and Amy is going to explain why. 
This isn't just about raising money or awareness. 


What I have found is that we just don't know enough and that pap smear isn't going to cover it.
Amy is a curious mind. I guess that's why she is doing the work she is doing. 
Bright pink hair. A big smile and a fight in her that we get behind.
No tears with this one but real talk and real womens health and at the end of the day without more funding we aren't going to get answers or cures. 

Follow @ocarf on Instagram and start the education process today.

Here are some other helpful links Amy has provided for us. 
Here is the Ovarian Cancer Australia (OCA) symptom tracker diary: https://www.datocms-assets.com/102334/1691392879-symptom-diary.pdf

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade. We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story. She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message? Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us. I love to learn and my favorite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today. Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do? This is the Women of Influence Podcast.

10/100 TAKE 2: Amy Wilson. We need more funding.

I'll give you 'just a Mum with a hobby' in a minute.

Ok listeners. If you have ever needed to hear this. You will not, you do not not need anyone elses permission to shine. To dream. To have a go. To have a red hot go.

Can you tell I'm fired up?!

This is Bec's story. One of starting from scratch. Teaching herself and learning. To running a business that turns over one million a year. 

I'll give you just a hobby!

I'm reminded of this poem-

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

—Marianne Williamson

So to you. If you have an idea. Let Bec's story inspire you. And don't let anyone put you down as you chase your dream. 

All my love Kate

PS- I'm still fired up!

Check out @botanicalsbyluxe and you'll see this "hobby"

11/100 TAKE 2: Bec Connolly. NOT. Just a Mum with a Hobby

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/a02960ea-0a11-47be-8ca0-b40a0095d010/transcript

This is Amanda's story.

Growing up in Regional Victoria and meeting the love of her life.

This is one of those love stories where it reads like a fairytale...... until one day it doesn't.

A knock on the door after work changes everything.

A time when people didn't know how to talk about depression or suicide. 

A time when you become the talk of the town and while you love everything about that town you can't escape it. When moving away and starting again is the best opinion.

But home is always home and family is everything.

If you ask Amanda- Are soulmates real she will say without a blink of the eye..... Yes.

 

*This is Amandas story and this episode talks about suicide and depression. These are Amandas words. We know what everyone choses to talk about suicide in different ways. We support Amanda as she shares so bravely her experience.

Happy International Women's Day. 

Sarah Case is our gal to hear from on this day. 

She is your ultimate hype girl. Super smart, super driven, and a ball of energy. 

With Sarah it's a fabulous bag (that matches the outfit perfectly), full of stories and life experiences. 

Like, I don't know..... being one a part of Australia's first female bobsled team. 

Oh, and being one of the most successful Real Estate Agents in Melbourne. 

But mostly. She is a champion of women. 

This is her story.
