Kaity Ham on fashion blogging, personal style & how she’s thinking about the future.

Offline, The Podcast

01/11/20 • 81 min

Dearest you.

An honest conversation with one of Australia’s leading luxury fashion creatives and the founder of Modern Legacy, Kaitlyn Ham.

Kaitlyn — or Kaity as she's called by those closest to her — is quite private, so this honest conversation is a rare insight into her life, her work, how she thinks about style and the business of being a fashion creative and influencer.

What you might not know about Kaity, is she's funny. Like laugh-out-loud, big-belly-laughing funny. We do a lot of that in this episode. You’ll also learn that in complete contrast to her highly curated Instagram account, her personality is casual and relaxed.

In this honest conversation Kaity shares how she became so independent, her personal journey from high school tomboy to high fashion blogging, her relationship with style and shopping, how she spends her days as a fashion creative, details about her tiny, 10-person wedding, how she’s thinking about the future, why having a supportive partner is a form of privilege and much more.

Offline, The Podcast

09/14/19 • 76 min

Dearest you.

This episode is part one of my honest conversation with Erin Maxwell recorded live at Sundays Offline, Melbourne.

Erin is a leading Australian fashion creative. Her long-time followers knew her first as Love Shop Share, but at the time of recording, Erin is the proud founder of the The Maxwell Note. A thoughtful and curated platform that seeks to tell visual stories.

In this honest conversation recorded in front of 85 passionate Offline listeners, Erin opened up for the first time about her work, what it means to be a mother and a businesswoman today, her 17-year bond with husband Nick, her relationship with the label WAG and why her family will always come first.

Following our honest conversation, we took questions from the audience so look out for part two.

Sundays Offline Melbourne would not have been possible without the support of its generous sponsors, and the women who donated their time.

Offline, The Podcast

09/07/19 • 74 min

Dearest you.

In this special Self Care Sundays mini-series produced by Studio Offline and in partnership with Estée Lauder, I sit down with three of the brand’s Australian ambassadors to have an honest conversation about life on the other side of the filter, self care, sleep and skincare.

My next guest is Eleanor Pendleton. The Estée Lauder ambassador and beauty entrepreneur is the founder of one of Australia’s most popular and pioneering beauty destinations, Gritty Pretty.

It’s her third time sitting down with me for Offline, and in this honest conversation Eleanor shares her opinion on self care, what it takes to lead one of Australia’s most-popular digital media brands, the mentors who have helped her along the way, what boundaries look like on any given day, her relationship with sleep and ageing, what she wishes more women knew about skincare and the very joyful chapter ahead for her and her husband Matt.

Jaclyn Michelle on why Human Design is both a spiritual & scientific user manual for life.

Offline, The Podcast

08/10/19 • 66 min

Dearest you.

An honest conversation with Human Design chart analyst, teacher and the founder of Interior Creature, Jaclyn Michelle.

Put simply, Human Design is the intersection of science and spirituality. It gives us the language to describe the signals our body and our intuition has been telling us all along — before all the programming and social conditioning. It’s also been described as a user manual for life. Both a mechanical science and a practical tool that shows us how we are constituted, and therefore how to make healthy decisions and live as the unique beings we are.

Jaclyn deeply believes it is vital that every woman has the resources, the time and the energy to hold space in her life for her own emotional and spiritual expansion. She’s made it her mission to make tools like Human Design practical, actionable and accessible for everyone.

Buddhist Manoj Dias on why enlightenment isn’t a destination but a state of consciousness.

Offline, The Podcast

07/27/19 • 69 min

Dearest you.

An honest conversation with Buddhist meditation teacher and co-founder of Open, Manoj Dias. Before the here and now, Manoj once identified as a successful corporate businessman who was suffering from anxiety, insomnia and disordered eating.

What he offers us in this honest conversation is incredible perspective across a diverse range of topics, including the continued lack of diversity and inclusion in the wellness space. Manoj is passionate about facilitating conversations that explore possible answers to the question he asks himself when he sits down to teach: Who is not in the room and why?

But before that, expect to hear his journey to becoming a Buddhist meditation teacher, why he thinks spirituality should be playful, how to be with the totality of our experiences, his definition of conscious connections, why enlightenment isn’t a destination but rather a state of consciousness available to all of us at any time, and his call to Australian men to explore what it means to be vulnerable.

Rachelle Rowlings on love, death, motherhood & fashion.

Offline, The Podcast

07/20/19 • 82 min

Dearest you.

An honest conversation with one of the funniest Australian women on Instagram, Rachelle Rowlings. She pioneered a new type of influence — the honest mum — and for many women navigating life with kids, her Instagram account is a lifeline.

What started as an outlet to express not only her love of fashion but also to rise up from the darkness that came after having her first baby, Rachelle’s Instagram account is now the talk of mothers groups' across the country. Women read the reality of their own daily struggles in Rachelle’s epic and hilarious captions. There’s also the epic fashion — something we all deserve to admire.

In this honest conversation, Rachelle is unguarded, open and intensely honest. She matches her own quick wit and humour with thoughtful observations and opinions on the topics we all hold close to our hearts — love, death, motherhood, societal pressures, nutrition, fashion, personal development and why happiness doesn’t always look the way we thought it would, and why that’s OK.

Dearest you.

An Australian living in LA at the time of recording, Jerico led editorial at Girl Boss Media but recently made the decision to expand.

Kristin Fisher on taking risks, authenticity & why pausing is the best business decision she’s ever made.

Offline, The Podcast

05/09/20 • 54 min

Dearest you.

An honest conversation with one of Sydney’s most successful beauty entrepreneurs, Kristin Fisher.

The eyebrow expert opens up about her humble beginnings as a booked-out Brazilian waxer in Perth, to now leading the eyebrow industry in Sydney and getting recognised for her talent on the world stage.

This honest conversation doesn’t disappoint. Kristin is as funny and real as you know her to be on Instagram, and is unguarded and honest about the realities of running a beauty business, raising a young family, living with anxiety and all that comes along with taking big risks.

In her words: You have to risk it to get the biscuit.

P.S. Apologies for the echo around her audio!

Thank you for being here.
