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.

You know you are in trouble when your mother uses your first name!

Sitting on her couch with her dog beside her Lizzy Hoo reminds us that there is no walking away once you know. Once you know what you were put on this Earth to do.

From corporate to stand up there is a grit that needs to hold you and Lizzy has it in spades. 

There is a rule of 3 Lizzy lives by. If she shares a story x3 times there is something in it. 

Enjoy the process. But know that no one is going to just give it to you. 

Enjoy the episode.

OH! And if you are listening for the first time! This is your introduction (required reading). This series is unedited, raw and just gets straight into it. You have been warned! 

Luv Kate

Today is World Parkinson’s Day and we will be featuring Xanya Mamunya, who was a concert harpist and teacher, also has PD and is currently a dancer with Dance for Parkinson’s Australia, that is about to embark on a collaboration with Paris Wages with @ausballet

But this episode is about the extraordinary woman who tells us that the ‘Harp plays you’ and that having Parkinson’s means choosing joy & choosing movement.

Thankyou Xanya. Thankyou.

** Note. We do have some pauses here. Part internet. Part just pauses. They remain as they are. As it was recorded.

41/100 TAKE 2: Xanya Mamunya. The Harp plays you and then Parkinson's plays you

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/69805b99-62a6-44a7-b66a-b428000e9cc4/transcript

Claire is just funny. She will greet you with a warm smile that reaches her eyes. 

Yet she can sit in the silence; craves it. This was something I understood completely. 

I thought this chat was going to be about comedy (and it is in part), and creative process (it is in part) but something that really stopped me was the relationship of social media. The understanding of the role it plays in promotion of not just the comedian and show but the para social relationship with people BUT more than that; identifying that it's just not good for her. 

So how do you get around it? On one hand you need it, on the other it's not good. Some things are just private. 

Claire is in the middle of the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Peak funny times in Melbourne! 

I am so glad she gave up time to sit with me and share with you, but also to share so vulnerable. 

For this I am grateful. I am curious now- I wonder what her garden is like at home?

Enjoy the episode.

Luv Kate
