Coming Up - The Surfer Dad who gently holds space with vulnerability

Episode 4 - Kirsten Taylor - The Beautiful Disaster who leads with grace and a heart of gold

In this episode of Stephanie's List, Stephanie sits down with printing industry leader Kirsten Taylor — self-described beautiful disaster, lifelong learner and fiercely authentic business owner. From their first meeting at a Women in Print breakfast to years of friendship, this conversation reflects on confidence, passion and what it means to show up fully as yourself. Kirsten shares the story of completing her printing apprenticeship to prove she belonged at the press, the love and craft behind Taylor Press, and why specialty printing is about heart as much as ink. She also opens up about returning to university to study psychology, exploring behaviour change, environmental impact and the deeper motivations that shape how people think and act. Together, they talk about vulnerability in leadership, resilience through life's messier seasons, and the quiet strength required to run a business with dignity and care. At its core, this is a conversation about authenticity — about being brave enough to call yourself a beautiful disaster, and kind enough to lead with grace.

Episode 3 - Inge Flowers - The Wing Chun Warrior who found her fire in the electric guitar

In this episode, Stephanie reconnects with her longtime friend and aspirational Wing Chun warrior, Inge Flowers, and the conversation picks up exactly where they left off—mid-sentence, mid-laugh, mid-life. What follows is an open, funny, deeply honest discussion about waking up in mid-adulthood and choosing to live with far more colour, courage and curiosity than either of them ever allowed themselves in their twenties. Stephanie and Inge explore the joy of reclaiming identity, from purple hair to teal hair, motorbikes to electric guitars, shark dives and Wing Chun classes, and the surprisingly profound power of doing things simply because they delight you. They talk candidly about ADHD, masking, anxiety, the strange expectations of "grown-up" life, and how choosing the unconventional path often reveals the most grounded version of yourself. At the heart of the episode is a portrait of a friendship that has lost none of its warmth, wit or wavelength. Stephanie and Inge speak with the ease of two people who shaped each other's young adulthood, weathered the same storms, and can still finish each other's sentences decades later. Their conversation is sprawling, intimate, and unfiltered—the kind of exchange that only happens when you feel completely seen. A conversation about getting older, getting braver, and deciding who you want to be when you grow up, told by two women who have never been particularly good at doing things the conventional way.

Episode 2 - Steven Gamble - The Surfer Dad who gently holds space with vulnerability

In this candid conversation, Steph is joined by her friend Steven Gamble, or as she fondly calls him, Mr Amazing. Once a printing-industry professional, Steven shares how a Boxing Day realisation set him on a new path. From a career in printing to founding Man Anchor, now known as Anchor Health Group, an organisation dedicated to improving mental-health literacy and building stronger, more connected communities. Together, Steph and Steve talk about the quiet courage it takes to be open, the lessons that come from vulnerability, and how societal expectations around masculinity have shaped generations of men. They explore how true strength lies in honesty and empathy, and why giving others permission to express emotion and be fully human is such powerful work. The conversation moves easily between surfing, family life, and leadership, with reflections on inclusion, kindness, and what it means to create space for others to feel safe. It's a warm exchange between two friends who share deep respect and a mutual passion for helping people find light in difficult times. This episode includes an open discussion of mental-health challenges and recovery.
