Shameless

Happy Thursday lovely Shameless fam! Today, we are joined by the remarkable Jess Quinn. When Jess was nine, her life was thrown into disarray by a cancer diagnosis. Within the year, she would lose all of her hair, and then, one of her legs. Now, Jess has turned her biggest hurdle into her biggest triumph - her career is built on the prosthetic limb she wears every day, helping her show her 180,000 Instagram followers that beauty comes in many different sizes and forms. Here, we talk with the advocate and influencer about disability, resilience, diversity and inspiration. It’s a conversation that has stuck with us ever since we sat down in Jess’ Melbourne hotel room, and will continue to have an impact on us for a very long time. If you loved Jess as much as we loved talking to her, you can catch her on Instagram here, and her petition is right here, ready to be signed! Craving more? You’re only human.

Happy Thursday! Today we are joined by the delightful Leigh Campbell. If we are talking expert voices in the beauty and lifestyle space, Leigh’s the ultimate go-to. You probably grew up reading her columns and insights in Cosmopolitan magazine, or, later on, in the Huffington Post Australia. Or, perhaps, you found Leigh not through her work as a journalist and editor, but as a blogger; last year, she penned the wildly popular series Treading Water about her experience with infertility and miscarriage. Here, we chat with Leigh about work, guilt and grief, and what the last 12 months of her life have taught her about herself. If you love Leigh as much as we do, follow her on Instagram @leighacampbell. Craving more? You’re only human.

Happy Thursday friends! We’re joined today by serial entrepreneur Cyan Ta’eed, who has gone from working out of her parents’ basement in 2006 to building a tech empire in her online design and photography hub, Envato. Over the last couple of years, Cyan has directed her energy and efforts into Hey Tiger, an ethical chocolate brand that functions as a social enterprise, where each bar sold helps community development projects for cocoa farming communities in West Africa. Cyan is incredibly successful, yes, but she’s also kind, and oozes compassion with everything she does. Here, we discuss how she went from being in her mid-twenties with nothing to her name, to being in her late thirties with hundreds of employees, and everything in between. Want more from Cyan?

Hi friends! Happy new week! What a time to be alive! We're almost at the end of winter, HOORAY! Coming up on today's show: the sneaky new way to buy Instagram followers. Plus, how the royal family became embroiled in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, and why the media finds Miley Cyrus so goddamn difficult. This week Mich recommended Sam Cavanagh's interview with the Daily Talk Show boys. Listen here. We'd give you Zara's recommendation, but it's kinda... not a thing. It's not a thing whatsoever.

Happy Monday wonderful people! Coming up on today’s episode: the influencer who ended her career by uploading the wrong Youtube video. Plus, the New York Times wants you to get “strong” for your wedding day, but by “strong” we’re pretty sure they mean “skinny”. Also, what’s with all these television reboots? Mich recommended this profile on Taylor Swift: https://www.vogue.com/article/taylor-swift-cover-september-2019 Zara recommended this episode of ABC's Conversations with Richard Fidler: https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/adele-ferguson-exposing-the-banks/11368384 This episode of Shameless was made possible by Libra's #bloodnormal campaign.

Happy Monday beautiful people! Coming up on today's episode: the Novak Djokovic rumours that just won't go away. Plus, is Masterchef doomed now that its three hosts have walked away?

Today on the show we have the warm, generous and stupidly clever Georgie Dent. Georgie is a former lawyer, a journalist, an old editor of ours and the author of the new and best-selling memoir, Breaking Badly. At 24, things were going pretty good for Georgie. She’d landed a job at a prestigious Sydney law firm, was living with her boyfriend and had so much head of her. But, in her own words, she broke. By 25, Georgie was unemployed, back living with her parents and suffering such crippling anxiety that she ended up in a psychiatric hospital. To quote the book’s own blurb, Breaking Badly is the story of a nervous breakdown in slow motion. This is Georgie's story. Shameless is a production of Shameless Media.

Happy Thursday you Shameless humans! On the show today we have the legend that is Kate Wasley. You might know Kate from her time as one half of AnyBody.co, a movement she co-founded that encouraged women to brace their bodies, no matter the size. As an in-demand model and influencer herself, Kate has graced the coveted pages of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition in 2018. But perhaps her most important role is the one she plays in our conversations about body image online.

This week on the show, we are joined by the absolutely delightful Laura Byrne. You might remember Laura from her time on The Bachelor, where she won Matty J’s heart and the affection of the country, too. Outside of reality television though, Laura runs Toni May, a jewellery company full of hand-crafted pieces that started selling at markets for a fun outside of her day job. We meet a lot of people in this job, but we have to say, Laura is one of the kindest, warmest, most down to earth women we’ve had the pleasure of chatting to. We caught up with her in Sydney not long ago - just before she got engaged!!! - to talk all things love, business, miscarriage and pregnancy. You can follow Laura at @ladyandacat on Instagram.

Today, we are joined by a person who has influenced Zara and I more than any “Instagram influencer” or “YouTube vlogger” ever has. Her name is Natalie Fornasier, and she has 839 Instagram followers. Your eyebrows might be raised right now, and you might be wondering how a normal Sydney girl with a normal social media following could be so influential. Well, last year, Natalie sat down with Byrdie.com.au for a story titled “I’m 24 and Living With Advanced Melanoma—This Is My Story”. Natalie’s words and insights in that interview were what informed our very last segment of Shameless in 2018, and what pushed Zara to change her own relationship with sun tanning forever. Today, we sit down with Natalie, who is now 25, but still grappling with her stage four cancer diagnosis. We talk about friends, finding love, and what you can do to spread the word. We have chosen to forgo an episode sponsor today, and have dedicated the episode to Call Time On Melanoma. To support Call Time On Melanoma, visit www.calltimeonmelanoma.com.au, or follow them on Instagram @calltimeonmelanoma. This episode was produced by Michelle Andrews.

Happy In Conversation Thursday lovely people! On today's show, we are joined with Rowi Singh. It’s hard to condense what and who Rowi is in a quick soundbite, but we will give it a shot. Rowi is an influencer, yes, but she’s not your average influencer. She might have more than a hundred thousand followers on Instagram, but she’s not about detox teas and teeth whitener. Instead, Rowi’s brand is her creativity. She’s a wildly talented makeup artist, who bluntly refuses to colour inside any of the lines. She’s also a proud Punjabi woman who is ready to call time on cultural appropriation, who is never afraid to embrace colour, and is unapologetic in both her feminism and her femininity. This chat is political and candid and vivacious - just like the woman you see on Instagram and YouTube. We hope you enjoy!

Haaaaappy Thursday friends! Wow, do we have a treat for you today. If you’ve ever been to a nightclub, or a music festival, the chances are you know the name, but perhaps you don’t know the story behind one of our country’s most successful musical exports. In this chat, we explore who DJ Tigerlily is - yes - but we also get to know Dara Hayes, the woman behind the elaborate wigs and costumes. You’ll find that Dara, the 27-year-old who lives with her boyfriend and their one-year-old Groodle, is enigmatic; a refreshing blend of passion, charm, and honesty.

If you don’t know Tully Smyth by name, we will bet you know her story. Rising to fast fame on Big Brother, Smyth found herself the centre of one of the original international and viral storms, after entering into a relationship with a fellow contestant while still having a girlfriend on the outside. Some six years later, Tully Smyth has proved to be far more than her Big Brother story. She is now an influencer, a content creator, a vocal advocate for mental health and people suffering from early onset Alzheimer's. Tully knows how to tell a story, and we can’t wait for you to hear the ones she has to tell today. You can follow Tully on Instagram @tee_smyth and us @shamelesspocast. Enjoy!
