017. Raising Kids Who Can't Be Bullied

This week, I sit down with my mum — the force behind our family’s grit and laughter.  With four kids, decades as a government high school teacher, and her feet firmly planted in community life, she dishes out practical wisdom you won’t find in any parenting manual. We dive into what it means to build true resilience — not just validate feelings, but teach kids to carry themselves with confidence, bounce back quickly, and see tough times as a training ground. From wild sibling banter, public school realities, to keeping the door open when your grown children chart their own paths, this episode brings funny, honest stories and big-hearted advice. ✨ We Talk About - Raising kids who aren’t “bullyable” — sports, friendships, and building a thick skin. - Why her generation relies on intuition and faith, not endless advice. - Accepting differences across generations — and keeping communication open. - The power of resolving family conflicts fast. - Bringing humour and backbone to every challenge. 💡 Key Themes - Get up and get on with it — resilience over victimhood. - The beauty of community and embodied wisdom. - Why talking to elders matters now more than ever. This episode is a reminder that courage and laughter are the foundations every family needs. For more, send questions to hello@goodwomenshow.com. Season two coming soon — and yes, everyone wants mum’s advice.

As always, use your own discernment and do your own research.  Welcome back to Part 2 of my conversation with Mel—one of Australia’s true visionaries in holistic health, homeopathy, and community leadership. In this episode, we dive even deeper into what it looks like to build movements, rethink family models, and respond creatively to the challenges of our time. Mel and I talk about her inspiring journey from being a stay-at-home mum with just a handful of Instagram followers, to launching a thriving international academy and soon-to-come homeopathic healing centres (so good!).

015. The Power of Homeopathy: The Medicine Many Have Been Looking For

DISCLAIMER: In this episode, we share an honest, unscripted conversation about healing and homeopathy. These are our personal stories and reflections—not professional medical advice. As always, use your own discernment and do your own research.  I was SO excited to sit down with someone I admire so much– Melissa Kupsch. She’s an absolute powerhouse and Aussie trailblazer and I do not use those words lightly. She has built a world-changing Academy for Homeopaths, and is on track to build Homeopathic healing centres as well as worldwide RMDY ranches to change the way we do Farming, Education and Holistic Healing. She’s also mumma to 3 beautiful boys and husband to Matt.  We demystify what homeopathy really is, the misconceptions about it and why it’s changing lives—mine included. From witnessing homeopathic ‘miracles’ in my own children to untangling patterns I didn’t even know I carried, this episode is for anyone hungry for real, lasting healing. What actually sets homeopathy apart from naturopathy, essential oils, or the standard medical model? How can suppressed emotions or even family trauma show up as physical symptoms? And why do so many people feel like they've “tried everything” before finding answers in energy medicine?  ✨ We Talk About: - Myths and truths about homeopathy—why it’s misunderstood, and how it really works - The vital force: what it is, and how it transformed my perspective on healing - Supporting our kids (and ourselves) without suppressing or just “managing” symptoms - Tangible stories of breakthrough in fertility, chronic illness, and emotional healing - How homeopathy weaves through ancestral patterns, clearing what we pass on to our kids - What we’re actually listening for in a homeopathic consult (it’s not what you think!) - The question I get all the time: “Is homeopathy really spiritual… or dangerous?” - Why I believe true healing honors both science and spirit Mel can be found on Instagram at @thathomeopath and @rmdy.collective.  The best homeopathy first aid kit (and more) can be found here https://rmdycollective.org/ [https://rmdycollective.org/] and BODYLUXURY10 gets you 10% off.

014. Make Social Media Life-Giving in 2026– Notes on Integrity in a Performative World.

In this episode, I open up about the realities of social media—the way it shapes our thoughts, relationships, and even our sense of self. I share my own struggles (yes, I’ve wanted to throw my whole podcast in the bin), the clunky and sometimes effective strategies I use, and what I’m learning about finding a healthy balance. What’s the real cost of living online all the time? How do I carve out that sweet spot between “all in” and “all off”? I invite you into my process—messy, honest, and hopefully useful. ✨ What I Explore: Why pedestaling people online leads to perfectionism—for everyone How criticism (“You’re harsh and condescending…”) can actually make me softer, freer, and more authentic The practical habits I’m testing: second phones, deleting apps, post-and-ghost How too much scrolling fuels indecision, confusion, and anxiety Why my true life and nearest relationships matter more than my Instagram bio Tribalism, shallow judgment, and how social media can erode critical thinking and compassion The danger of letting my phone steal time—and joy—from my family Links:  NEW!
