Episode 5: How to be OK with who you are
Scientia Professor Joe Forgas AM chats to us about tribe identity in the context of family and the wider community, raising the question of whether it’s better to hear the hurtful things people say, because suppressing their freedom to say it doesn’t remove their feeling about it anyway. Get ready for your first dose of “Joe bombs”! Andy and Louise talk about their own relationship to and with different 'tribes' in relation to family and work and how they have used those affiliations to limit themselves in the past.

Episode 4: Who is Daphne Kapetas?
Daphne Kapetas is the founder and CEO of La Joie Skin, and has been working in the industry as a Chemist for thirty years. Daphne’s can-do attitude is grounded in belief in herself with a large sense of humour. She has competed in “Tough Mudder”, is learning to pole dance and when we met her, was learning how to skin the cat which is an acrobatic term we’ll let her explain. Having grown up in a Greek family and lost her father when she was studying her HSC, Daphne learned some great techniques to get her through tough times. We know you’ll enjoy hearing what she has to say as much as we enjoyed talking with her.
