Offline, The Podcast (Alison Rice)

Dearest you.

We’re starting season six as we intend to finish — by listening, learning, healing, and then moving into informed, intentional action. Host Alison Rice interviews racial justice educator, attorney, grief coach, healer and author, Rachel Ricketts, about acting in allyship to Black, Indigenous, People of Colour vs. allyship, and what “doing the work” actually looks like for white people who hold the most power and privilege.⁣

She educates that we all rise when white people undertake the work of racial justice, and that when white people truly do this work, everything in their lives will change. They must also be prepared to lose things – friends, money, time, identity – and if they’re not, they’re not committed to racial justice. 

But, there’s more to gain than there is to lose. 

Rachel’s new book, Do Better: Spiritual Activism for Fighting and Healing from White Supremacy, is directed at white people but is for Black, Indigenous, People of Colour. She discusses what that means in this episode, educating that white people can’t be allies, but they can act in allyship. She also shares that white people must have a tolerance for f*cking up because they will. The need to be right can not supersede the commitment to racial justice, and that a white person’s fear and discomfort isn’t life-threatening but being a Black, Indigenous, Person of Colour is. 

Rachel asks that we do this work with a deep lens of compassion. Her book Do Better: Spiritual Activism for Fighting and Healing from White Supremacy is available to pre-order now and hits shelves February 2, 2021.

Alison's Substack: On Getting True

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I live and create, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present and I extend that respect to any First Nations, Torres Strait Islander and Māori peoples listening.

For episode 42 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down for a second time with leading Australian sexologist and host of Authentic Sex, Juliet Allen. 

If you haven’t listened to their first honest conversation and you’d like to, here it is. The pair discuss sex as a pathway to healing, sex magic, why our cycle is sacred, why it is time to redefine the word slut and much more. 

This time around, Juliet answers questions sent in from Offline’s curious and thoughtful listeners. Topics include: becoming more confident in the bedroom, how to improve your libido, how to accept your partner’s sexual attraction to others, how to communicate your sexual needs, how to communicate you have an STD, why we should consider organic alternatives to supermarket lube, how to get in touch with your feminine after a major operation like a hysterectomy, sex-positive porn, why enjoying anal sex comes down to trust and Juliet’s tips to authentic and connected oral sex.

Warning: Some parts of this honest conversation are difficult and confronting. If you need help or support, please reach out:

• Reach Out’s sexual assault support directory
• Call 1800 RESPECT

Alison also advises not to have kids around for this one!

• Listen to Authentic Sex

For episode 28 of Offline, I sit down with TV host, women in STEM mentor, tech and gaming journalist, St. Vincent’s De Paul ambassador, mum and proud Wiradjuri woman, Rae Johnston. While she’s well-known and respected in the cosplay industry for playing Wonder Woman, Rae embodies the character in real life. Compassionate, strong and with an incredible sense of justice, she is a modern role model for women everywhere.

In this episode, Rae shares unique and inspiring lessons taken from her humble beginnings — including what it was like to have $5 left each week after paying her bills and feeding her child as a 19 year-old mum; the disappointing and often-complex realities of being a woman working in gaming, tech and science; her reflections on the trauma she experienced as a young model trying to get her start; her advice to employers on how to attract and support Indigenous talent; and how proposing to her husband was less about challenging gender norms and more about deep love and respect.

Thank you for being here.

For episode 56 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with Happiness Hacker and founder of BKindred, Penny Locaso. The pair met as speakers on Pink Hope’s Women Who Lead panel in 2019, and quickly bonded over their shared mission to help people connect with what really matters.

The advice Penny generously shares in this episode will help you face your fears and step into your future. She’s been voted one of the most influential female entrepreneurs in Australia and is currently writing her first book. But before that, she was working as a senior executive with a salary into the hundreds of thousands and like so many women before her, put her career before her own happiness.

Penny seemingly had it all. The corporate role and salary, the house, the cars and the holidays. And then one day, she got up and walked away from it all. 

Why? Because she realised she wasn’t Being, she was just doing. So instead, she chose happiness. Both for herself, and hopefully by 2025, 10 million other people.

BKindred is the world’s first educational program and measurement tool designed to humanise the future through the amplification of the Intentional Adaptability Quotient. Think of it as the new EQ. She’s on a mission to teach 10 million humans how to intentionally adapt, in order to future-proof happiness.

In episode 12 of Offline, I sit down for a conversation with one of Australia’s most exciting, young creators — Ally May Carey. A learnt-it-on-the-job writer and photographer who has been blogging since 2010, Ally’s carved out a niche creating content that is visually inspiring, thoughtful and seeks to spark change. In her incredibly calming, slow and gentle tone, we chat about her 'why' and how she's identifying with self following a difficult 18 months.

While I record Sundays Offline live in Brisbane, I'm throwing it back to episode one. Maybe you’ve heard it, maybe you haven’t, either way healer Jeannie Bourke is one of the foundational reasons Offline exists. Profound. Special. Ethical. Majestic. Wise.

[I’m Offline With]

Welcome to another edition of I’m Offline With, produced by Studio Offline and in partnership with a conscious founder or business whose experience or story will help us on our way. 

This episode is produced in partnership with David Jones, and features one of Australia’s most exciting emerging fashion leaders, Charlotte Hicks. 

Alison and Charlotte recorded this episode live in the front window of David Jones’ Bourke Street store, a week after Charlotte’s brand, Esse Studios, won the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival National Designer Award. The Award is presented by David Jones. 

Beautifully, Charlotte is a long time Offline listener and actually came to Alison’s very first event in Sydney. It’s now Alison’s honour to share the pioneering work Charlotte’s doing, with you.

Esse Studios exists in part as an example of what a socially and environmentally aware fashion brand should look like today. Released bi-annually, Esse is seasonless and doesn’t adhere to trends. Instead, Charlotte designs thoughtful Editions. Each Edition builds on the one before it to create a high performing wardrobe for today’s modern woman. For us. 

In this honest conversation, Charlotte shares the way she thinks about fashion and design. This includes her values-based approach to building a brand, what sustainability and transparency look like in practice, and how she’s thinking about growth for a business that has self-imposed limits. 

She’s honest and generous with her advice, so we hope it helps aspiring designers or even established brands think more deeply about being the change.

You can shop Esse Studios online, or stop by David Jones to see her National Designer Award collection on display. It’s located on the ground floor in the designer accessories section.

To close season six, host Alison Rice dedicates her Ask Me Anything episode to her little girl, Betty. 

So often, the stories we hear about pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period are negative and fear-based. Alison’s experience has been more soft than hard, and so she hopes that sharing a different perspective might help other women feel more excited than scared about this new chapter.

In this extended episode, Alison answers listener questions about her pregnancy, navigating pregnancy anxiety, her labour preparation, hospital bag must-haves and why she believes she had a soft and positive postpartum experience. 

She also talks about the sense of perspective she has following two pregnancy losses, the life lessons she hopes to teach her little girl, her thoughts on her career and earning after having a baby, the products she’s loved, the books she read, her emerging parenting style, and opens up about Betty’s personality and what she looks like. 

Below is a list of everything Alison refers to in this episode, plus a few extras she forgot to include.

• The First 40 Days
• The Motherhood (would have liked more positive stories though!)

• I had weekly acupuncture from ovulation until week 12, then moved to fortnightly, then monthly during the third trimester. I see Jade at The Whiteowl Clinic

Pregnancy 

• Our OB is Dr. Alex Owen

[I’m Offline With. . .]

Welcome to a new Offline series called I’m Offline With. . . These episodes are produced by Studio Offline, and in partnership with a founder, leader or entrepreneur that will help us on our way. 

Between each season, Alison sits down with someone who has started a conscious business so we can learn from them, and in return, they get to share their story and what they’ve created with you. 

Alison’s first I’m Offline With. . . guest is the delightful and determined Jose Bryce Smith. Twenty years ago she co-founded Australia’s first natural hair salon, where harsh chemical formulations were replaced by high performing colour created in-house. It included natural extracts, minerals and native Australian ingredients. Today, we know it as Original & Mineral (O&M for short), with brand extensions in colour, styling and education.

Here’s why O&M is important — to those of us listening who have ambition to start a conscious business, and to the health of anyone who colours their hair. O&M is PETA-approved, leads innovation in the natural hair care space globally and it is founded by a generous woman who wants to share her start up story so we can learn from it.

Alison has been using O&M for the best part of a decade, so it was truly a thrill for her sit down with the brain behind a brand that celebrates hair as a health choice. It’s time we all got real about it. We read so many warnings about the dangers of using parabens, sulphates and other harsh chemicals on our skin — but what about our hair and our scalp? 

In this honest conversation, Jose brings incredible insight into what it means to found and fund a multi-million dollar business, how to think about taking investment, what she had to sacrifice, the times she got it wrong, how she uses the Emotional Freedom Technique to reprogram her thought patterns, and so much more.

In this special Self Care Sundays mini-series produced by Studio Offline and in partnership with Estée Lauder, host Alison Rice sits down with some of the brand’s inspiring ambassadors and friends to have an honest conversation about their careers, businesses, life on the other side of the filter, fashion, beauty and... confidence. 

What does confidence really mean to women and what does having it help us to achieve?

The topic and series celebrates Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Foundation, a product that allows women to wear confidence and feel empowered to take on the day. 

Alison’s next guest is personal shopper to the stars and fashion entrepreneur, Gab Waller. She got her big break sourcing and “Old Celine” coat for Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in 2018, and hasn’t looked back. She now has a team of six helping her to respond to hundreds of personal shopping requests each day.

In this episode, Gab opens up about what confidence means to her, how she’s seen fashion change a woman’s perception of herself, her breakthrough moment, why it’s so important to push through rejection, how she’s thinking about scaling her business, building her support team, how to develop deep relationships with clients and brands, the lessons she’s learnt the hard way, the importance of discretion in her business and how she’s thinking about circularity in our need-it-now consumer culture.

For episode 73 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with Vedic astrologer, Sattva Yoga teacher and holistic kinesiologist, Dalia Gencher. 

This episode is for anyone who is looking for higher answers to questions like: 

• What is karma and can we overcome it?
• What is purpose if it’s not actually linked to our careers?
• How do we align to what is most evolutionary for us?
• How can we use our birth chart to find direction and clarity?
• Cosmically, what happened in 2020 and what can we expect in 2021?

The pair also explore the spiritual practice of Japa — one of the most profound Yogic technologies accessible to us. It has the power to completely rewrite the neural pathways in our brains. 

In celebration of Japa and its power to transform our lives, Alison and Dalia also announce a special 40-day Offline Group Japa Journey. You can learn more about it in this episode or enrol at the link below.

To celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8, host Alison Rice answers questions sent in by Offline’s community. 

IWD exists to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, but in Alison’s eyes, it also celebrates the work so many women do each and everyday to support our collective advancement. 

One of the many ways we can advance the women around us is by sharing our knowledge, and this episode is dedicated to doing just that. Alison gives advice across a range of topics including stepping up as a leader, dealing with toxic co-workers, raising your frequency, finding a job after being made redundant, asking for a pay rise, maintaining your financial independence, the one thing founders need to do in order to scale their businesses and how to be your True Self on social media. She also addresses the discrimination many women face when it comes to pursuing their career or starting a family. 

Alison hopes this episode leaves you feeling empowered and supported. Remember: informed, kind and compassionate women are unstoppable. And when it comes to achieving social, economic and cultural equality, we’re all in it together.

Please note: Alison is offering her advice and her opinion. It’s important that you consult the people you trust the most before making any decisions.

For episode 66 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with New York City style director, Danielle Prescod. 

Danielle is currently the Style Director at Black Entertainment Television, and before that, she held fashion roles at Marie Claire, Elle, Teen Vogue and Interview.

The New Yorker is as authentic as it gets on Instagram. One of the things Alison loves most about her presence on the platform, is it has nothing to do with her job. She’s never pushing her followers to buy things. Instead, she chooses to use her platform to educate. 

If you follow Danielle, you’ll know that she leads social conversations centered on calling out systemic racism daily, and she’s a guiding light when it comes to holding the fashion industry, influencers and media accountable, for our ongoing failure to acknowledge, support and elevate Black people, their voices and their work.

Alison and Danielle recorded this episode in March 2020. Australia was about to go into lockdown and being in the States, Danielle had already been in isolation for some time. Since then, to say a lot has happened is an understatement. 

Danielle has been a key voice within New York City’s fashion community during the Black Lives Matter movement — directing Alison and other white people to the resources she was sharing years before we finally started to listen with the intent to learn. And she’s also developing new resources. For free. For our benefit.

In this episode’s introduction, Alison calls out her failure to ask Danielle any direct questions about racism and allyship. This is an example of her privilege and her ignorance. She shares that her failure to give airtime to an experience that doesn’t impact her or her world as a white woman makes her complicit in the silencing of Black voices and experiences.

Despite Alison’s failure, their pair cover an interesting set of topics in this honest conversation. Danielle shares how she’s producing content for women during an international pandemic, how she thinks about telling stories, giving up Instagram twice, the benefits of therapy, her decision to freeze her eggs at age 30 and her advice to brands and businesses on getting representation and inclusion right.

Dearest you.

In episode one of Offline, I set up my podcast by interviewing my healer and Sydney organic beauty lab owner, Jeannie Bourke. We explore definitions of True Self and the concerns we have for women living increasingly over-committed and always-connected lives. Are we truly living for ourselves, or to produce a highlight reel for social media?

In episodes to follow, I interview the people behind the Instagram accounts to understand their own definitions of self, and how social media makes them feel. These are raw, imperfect conversations, grounded in reality.

Thank you for being here.

For episode 35 of Offline, I sit down 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.

Thank you for being here.

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

Next up is Deborah Symond O’Neil. She’s the founder of pioneering fashion retailer, Mode Sportif, and one of the best dressed women in Sydney. Deb works fast and hard. In this honest conversation, we learn that what we see on Instagram is actually very close to her reality, but that she also dedicates a great deal of her time and energy to her growing business, her team and her husband Ned. 

Given her workload and the speed at which she operates, I was curious to know how Deb carves out time for herself and what routine looks like for a busy founder and mum-to-be. And as an ambassador for Estée Lauder, what role does a cult product like Advanced Night Repair play when it comes to maximising her evening skincare routine? 

If you’re interested in learning about the realities of running and scaling a fashion retail business, the art behind a successful buy, the skincare advice handed down from her mum and why she doesn’t identify with the label heiress, we hope you adore this episode. 

Thank you for being here.

For episode 33 of Offline, I sit down with one-to-watch, Melbourne-based marketing specialist and haircare entrepreneur, Maeva Heim. Maeva grew up in Perth and like many of us from smaller towns, she had fierce ambition. Maeva’s career story is relatable because it’s common in the very best way. She did an expensive law degree and then realised she couldn’t carry the burden of what it meant to practice, so she step-changed to marketing, content creation and now, product development. 

Maeva is set to revolutionise and democratise the haircare space as we know it. 

At the time of recording, Maeva is developing Australia’s first texture-inclusive haircare brand, Bread. Sick and tired of feeling under-represented in marketing meetings where discussing shade ranges or using black models was frowned upon, Maeva decided to develop a haircare brand that speaks directly to women of colour who have been taught to chemically relax their hair in order to fit in with society. Bread encourages women to explore and embrace their natural texture. 

Maeva shares important insight into what it feels like to have to physically change yourself in order to be accepted and seen as “professional” in the workplace, and the world at large. She’s a shining example for young women everywhere that when we don’t see ourselves represented in products, in the media or on platforms like Instagram, it’s in our power to change that.

Thank you for being here.

To launch season four, host Alison Rice shares Offline's platform with Melbourne listener, Teryll Brewer. 

Alison and Teryll met at an Offline Women’s Circle in August 2019. Offline Women’s Circles exist to create gentle entry points to conscious connections, and as they gathered together as women on their way that night, Teryll’s story moved the room. 

Her bravery and honesty got Alison thinking about the deeper role Offline could play when it comes to both education and prevention. What might we face, who has already survived it, and would they be willing to share what they’ve learned?

Offline started as honest conversations with the women behind the Instagram accounts. Their stories and their humility not only moved us, but opened us up to a part of ourselves we weren’t all that familiar with — our True Selves. In came the teachers and healers to help us navigate this new spiritual terrain, and now, it’s time to hear from those closest to us.

The people in our lives who don’t necessarily have a social media presence or a stage to stand on, but they teach us anyway. 

Teryll’s story, and the stories Alison hopes will follow, stand for survival. What does it mean to sit in True Self when life serves us a set of circumstances and experiences we didn’t see coming and we don’t feel prepared for? 

Her hope is that through listening, we learn.

Teryll Brewer is a 33 year-old, stage four breast cancer survivor. This is her story.

Dearest you.

I'm closing season two with an episode dedicated to you — Offline’s beautiful and nourishing community. I put a call out for questions on Instagram and answered 14 across topics including True Self, spirituality and personal development.

From how to trust we’re on the right path, to dealing with self doubt, my advice to women changing careers after 30, the biggest lesson I learned after leaving my corporate publishing role and what my husband Tony thinks about my journey to better knowing myself. I recorded this in one take and without a script. It is imperfect but as always, it is honest.

Thank you for being here.

[The Teachers]

For episode 51 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with Dr. Jeremy Cumpston, a progressive GP, preventative ageing specialist and the founder of Ageless Clinics. He’s a fully qualified injector of commercial fillers and is accredited in advanced wrinkle treatment and dermal filler treatments.

Alison would like to be extremely clear with her intention behind creating this episode. It does not advocate for or encourage cosmetic injectables. Instead, it seeks to act as an educational resource for anyone who wants to get informed. 

There is a worrying lack of safety information available, and increasingly, a growing number of under-qualified injectors offering cosmetic Botox and filler to young women — usually in package deals and working on commission per unit or mil injected. 

In this honest conversation, Dr. Jeremy answers every question you’ve likely ever had about cosmetic Botox and filler. How much to get, how often, where to get it and how long it lasts. He goes beyond the surface to discuss the pros and cons of the different forms, his preferred techniques and methods, and the questions to ask the nurse or doctor injecting you.

What you’ll hear time and time again in this episode is Dr. Jeremy’s personal treatment style: undertreating or not treating at all. Less is more. Less is more. Less is more.

If you are considering having cosmetic Botox or filler — or any other anti-ageing treatment — please seek advice from your preferred medical professional.

The very first teacher to be featured on Offline, the empowerment coach, astrologer and tarot reader gifts us with moving and powerful advice. Natalia shares her knowledge on living outside the mind/body paradigm, how to acknowledge our truth, why there's no shame in getting paid and how it is actually a form of power. This is part one of our honest conversation. Part two is also live!

Host Alison Rice has an honest conversation with artist, photographer and mum, Bobby Clark. In this episode, Bobby encourages us all to speak our truth and shares why we need to stop trying to do the “right” thing. She also encourages us to make mistakes because they help us discover the thing that makes our work unique.

Bobby is one of Melbourne’s leading artists, but as she so beautifully demonstrates in this episode, her paintings aren’t the only thing she has to say.

This conversation is full season six energy. Unbounded, unscripted and real. Alison and Bobby speak for 90 minutes and every one of them is worth your time. Why? Because it’s important that we hear what a truly empowered woman sounds like without the filter and controlled messaging. 

From boobs and bodies, pregnancy and pregnancy loss, sex after birth, dealing with judgement from strangers on social media, therapy, love, the complexities of the art world, pricing her work, feeling embarrassed about her work, navigating not being taken seriously as an artist… it’s all here.

In this special Self Care Sundays mini-series produced by Studio Offline and in partnership with Estée Lauder, host Alison Rice sits down with some 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. 

Alison’s next guest is Deborah Hutton. The Estée Lauder ambassador is known for her various TV presenting roles, a celebrated career in magazines, and her work advocating for skin cancer awareness. 

But what you might not know about Deb, is she started life as Debbie Haylock. This Self Care Sundays episode is truly a journey through Deb’s life, the experiences she’s had and how each one has influenced what she now knows to be true. 

Moving out of home at 16 and modelling in New York by 18, punctuality and professionalism, her relationship with her skin following years in the sun, her tried and tested routines, meditation and life as an energetic exchange, her advice on surviving loss… it’s all here and you’ll be wiser for listening.

In this special Self Care Sundays mini-series produced by Studio Offline and in partnership with Estée Lauder, host Alison Rice sits down with the brand’s Australian ambassadors and experts to have an honest conversation about life on the other side of the filter.

This season, the mini-series explores our collective relationship with the word confidence. What does confidence really mean to women and what does having it help us to achieve?

The topic and series celebrates Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Foundation, a product that allows women to wear confidence and feel empowered to take on the day. 

Alison’s next guest is P.E. Nation co-founder and Estée Lauder Australia ambassador, Pip Edwards. The pair first sat down in 2018 (episode eight) and 19 months later they catch up again, this time to talk through a more personal lens. 

Pip shares openly and honestly about confidence and what it means to her, turning 40 and the confronting realities that can come with that number, her recent reflections about her ambition, choices, and the sacrifices she’s had to make, being a single parent and making space for love, raising a conscious son, using fashion to express the way she’s feeling and why her makeup is no longer a mask.

For episode 54 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with one of The Australian Ballet’s principal female dancers, Benedicte Bemet. 

The 25 year-old was born in Mackay, started ballet at the age of three and was accepted into The Australian Ballet School at 14 years-old. She represented the School in New York and Canada, before being asked to join The Australian Ballet, the company, in 2012. In the seven years since, Benedicte has progressed to coryphee, soloist, senior artist and now, principal.

This episode is for anyone who gets butterflies about ballet. It honours the physical and emotional labour of the artistic pursuit and the harmony that can come from living as an expression of your unique energy. 

When Benedicte dances, she offers us a window to feel into our own emotional landscapes. Watching the music course through her body, the dust swept up in each moment by her feet, and seeing flashes of her soul through her eyes — she is both an expression of and conduit to, feeling. 

In this honest conversation, Alison asks Benedicte what it takes to dedicate your life to being one of the best at something, what happens when injury nearly takes it away, her relationship with her body and her weight, dance as an expression of her soul and the finer details of a life lived in pointe shoes.

For episode 69 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with chiropractor, certified Neuro Emotional Technique (N.E.T.) practitioner and founder of Selph Health Studios, Dr. Evan Sgammotta.

N.E.T. is an approach to stress reduction that focuses on breaking behavioural patterns and stress points that can show up physically in the body. It also helps symptoms related to trauma and unresolved stressful events, by helping to eliminate conditioned emotional responses and prevent recurring patterns of pain. It compliments chiropractic and borrows from acupuncture and kinesiology. 

Alison’s own interpretation after being treated by Dr. Sgammotta, is that it’s an emotional clearing of sorts. She spent nine months sitting with what came up in her session before having an honest conversation with Dr. Sgammotta. In less than five minutes, he got to the root of why she suffers from anxious attachment — something she hasn’t spoken about on Offline before.

In this episode, Dr. Sgammotta explains what N.E.T. is, how it gets to work on such a deep level, and what to expect in a session. He also shares how he’s thinking about what’s next in the realm of emotional healing, including generational clearing. 

If you’re suffering from a chronic emotion and the stress associated with it, Alison hopes this episode helps you.

In part one of our honest conversation, we discuss how difficult it is to leave a job you love to prioritise your mental and physical wellbeing, why it’s important not to give all of yourself to a job or an employer, what the term self-care actually means in practice, and also dive deep on Jerico’s enchanting and inclusive new tarot book and cards, Neo Tarot.

[I’m Offline With]

Welcome to a new episode of I’m Offline With. These special episodes are produced by Studio Offline, and in partnership with a person, business or brand whose experience or story will help us on our way. 

Alison’s next I’m Offline With guest is David Jones Fashion Ambassador and model, Victoria Lee. The pair had an honest conversation on the back of her Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival runway appearance, and in the most surreal way ever — they recorded live in the front window of David Jones’ Bourke Street store. 

There isn’t a better woman to front Australia’s most iconic department store. Victoria is as humble as she is beautiful (that is to say she is very humble), and as you’ll soon hear, is entirely expressed, grounded and considered. 

At the time of recording, Vic is living in New York City with her partner Matt — a far cry from her rural hometown of Narrandera in New South Wales. 

She’s been featured in titles including Harper’s Bazaar and Vanity Fair, but takeaway the runways and the modeling achievements, and Vic is a thoughtful young woman with a fierce connection to her family. Like many of us, she just misses home. 

In this honest conversation, Vic opens up across a range topics including her relationship with her exterior, how she remains true to herself, existing as an over-thinker, how she uses criticism as a pathway to growth, what it feels like to be an ambassador for David Jones, and how her rural upbringing has shaped the way she’s in the world today.

In episode 70 of Offline, host Alison Rice has an honest conversation with evolutionary astrologer Daisy Clementine Douglas. She’s on a mission to help people understand why their soul incarnated. 

In this episode, Daisy explains why our birth chart is a reflection of everything we already are, and also shares what parts of our chart relate to things like our unique gifts, our work and our karmic path. 

This episode was recorded in March 2020 when Australia was in its first lockdown, and Daisy reveals what she believes is at play cosmically for this year. Alison was particularly intrigued to learn that Capricorn is asking us to look more deeply at patriarchal constructs and definitions of success.

In this honest conversation, Natalie Fornasier opens up about living with stage four melanoma and what she’s learnt actually matters in life.

Natalie is a talented young writer and self-described skinfluencer (the sun safety kind) who is using her growing social footprint to advocate for those experiencing chronic and terminal illness. 

This honest conversation focuses on the present. On surviving. On what it means to accept your own mortality. Nat opens up about her relationship with death, the spectrum of diversity through the eyes of the chronically ill, navigating friendships that aren’t equipped to hold space for her experience, how she, in turn, thinks about holding space for her partner’s experience both within her illness and also separate to it, what it’s really like trying to establish a career when you have cancer and what she’s learnt actually matters in life. 

Every episode of Offline seeks to educate and inform, but Alison hopes this one also offers perspective. When we really get down to it, what else matters but our health and the health of the people we love? 

It’s World Cancer Day on February 4, but we know we can prevent skin cancer every day. Melanoma is the third most common cancer in women. Please wear sunscreen and keep your precious skin out of the sun.

In this at-times emotional episode, Eleanor talks openly and honestly about self image, love, running a business and how her humble beginnings shaped the woman she is today.

For episode 47 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with Lara Briden. A naturopathic doctor, women’s health activist and author of what can only be described as a bible for women everywhere, Period Repair Manual, Lara is a period revolutionary. 

Lara’s work is about providing practical solutions and natural alternatives to hormonal birth control. She’s helped thousands of women who suffer from missing periods, hair loss, PMS, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, adult acne and more, establish treatment plans that don’t require ingesting synthetic hormones that shut down ovulation. 

This is precisely what happens when we take the pill. 

Lara challenges us to get clear: pill bleeds are not periods. We do not cycle when we’re on the pill. When we don’t cycle, we don’t ovulate. When we don’t ovulate, we don’t produce progesterone. Women not having progesterone is like men not having testosterone. 

She successfully challenges pill medicine with natural treatments including diet, nutritional supplements, herbal medicine and body-identical hormones. 

This episode is a call to action to women everywhere to get empowered through education about their menstrual cycle, and confidently question the advice or diagnosis they’ve been given by a doctor. 

Lara also educates on how to identify you’ve ovulated and why fertile mucus exists.

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

Alison’s next guest is Chelsea Pottenger. The founder of EQ Minds, Chelsea is a sleep expert, an internationally accredited mindfulness and meditation practitioner, a keynote speaker and a proud ambassador for mental health charities including R U OK and The Gidget Foundation. 

She’s currently studying a doctorate of Clinical Psychology and Neuroscience, and is extremely passionate about sleep — the very topic Self Care Sundays seeks to highlight and champion. 

Chelsea knows firsthand what happens when we don’t get enough sleep, which makes her the perfect guest ahead of World Sleep Day on March 13. World Sleep Day is a celebration of sleep and a call to action on important issues related to sleep, including medicine and education.

One of the most powerful and valuable stories Chelsea shares through her work, is her personal experience suffering from perinatal anxiety and depression. A condition that for her, included sleep anxiety, insomnia and eventually, suicidal thoughts that involved the plane she was due to fly on, crashing somewhere between Australia and Scotland. 

In this episode, Chelsea opens up about it so we can learn, and also shares her advice on how to take responsibility for not only the amount of sleep we’re getting, but the quality of sleep. She removes mum shame around services like night nannies, and explains why sleep is in fact a solution to premature ageing.

For episode 64 of Offline, host Alison Rice has an honest conversation with scientist, chartered ecologist and model, Zinnia Kumar. 

Zinnia grew up in Western Sydney in a low socio-economic area, and following some deeply impactful advice from her chemistry teacher, she applied herself within the public education system and became the first in her family to go to university. 

What was the advice? She told Zinnia that if she worked hard, she could be anything she wanted to be. Zinnia hasn’t looked back. 

An introvert who self-diagnosed and treated her own social phobia as a teenager, she now lives in London and is studying for a doctorate in colourism at Oxford University. A published scientist, Zinnia has focused her research on human attraction, examining beauty standards and ideals, and more recently, colourism — specifically the serious issue of skin colour stigma in South Asia.

Recorded in April 2020, this honest conversation is an entry point to learning more about skin colour discrimination and representation. Zinnia also opens up about modelling, the racism she experienced from Australian agencies, the potentially life-saving reading she had with a palmist, why science and spirituality can co-exist and why she chooses to practice equanimity. 

Zinnia is fascinating and she’s a woman we can learn from.

For episode 48 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with one of the most talented and entertaining women in Australian beauty right now, Gemma Watts. The journalist, copywriter and photographer is the founder of digital beauty destination, Glow Journal, and its podcast of the same name.

Gemma started out in fashion journalism before falling in love with beauty, and is now leading the way for objective and informative beauty content in Australia. 

In this episode, Gemma and Alison have a very honest conversation about running their own businesses, why it is important to have a considered strategy and how they both think about growth. 

The pair also discuss the responsibility on creators today to be putting out valuable and original content, their shared experiences with plagiarism and why we should all sit in our expertise. 

Gemma also shares her opinion on sponsored content, how she advocates for greater diversity in the beauty industry, two perspectives when it comes to transparency around treatments like Botox and plastic surgery, and her take on privacy.

Dearest you.

Offline exists as an exploration of self, and we can’t do that without exploring our sexual essence. For episode 24 of Offline, I sit down with leading Australian sexologist, coach, and host of Authentic Sex, Juliet Allen. In this very honest conversation, we discuss everything from sex as a pathway to healing, the importance of polarity of sexual energies in the bedroom, how to use our sexual energy to attract what we want in life, why our cycle is sacred, how to ask for what we truly desire, porn vs. connected sex, and why it is time to redefine the word slut.

Trigger warning: Some parts of this honest conversation are difficult and confronting — both the language we use and the topics we explore. This includes miscarriage and loss. I also advise not to have kids around for this one.

Thank you for being here.

Recorded live at the sold-out Sundays Offline listener event in Melbourne on August 18, 2019, host Alison Rice sits down with leading Australian fashion creative, Erin Maxwell. Her long-time followers knew her first as Love Shop Share, but today 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 their honest conversation, Alison and Erin took questions from the audience. This session will be a separate, bonus episode!

What we do for a living feels a bit more emotional than it used to. Restrictions to our freedoms have made many of us question what actually makes us feel happy and fulfilled. A sneaky sleep in. A long walk before the workday starts. A home-cooked lunch. Creating just because not for. The time to think more deeply and even change our mind.

Many of us are also questioning if we're using our gifts and skills in ways that make us feel truly useful in the world. Is it time to start something that means something? Could we lead more consciously? And how much money is enough? 

We’re evolving, and this podcast is evolving with us. I’d love to share Offline’s Manifesto with you. 

I hope this season helps you on your way. Thank you for being here.

Have you ever thought deeply about why we start businesses or brands? Usually it’s to solve a problem, fill a gap in the market or make money. 

But how many founders do you know have started something with the intention to exit it? And not “exit” Silicon Valley style with millions of dollars, but exit with nothing but the knowing that they’ve fulfilled their purpose in this lifetime. 

Laura Poole is a powerful and prolific Vedic Meditation teacher, and in this episode, she presents a more evolutionary perspective on the why behind what we choose to create.

She asks us to first know what we are, before deciding what it is that'll we’ll do. 

Because how much of what we create is actually about our individual need to feel valued and valuable? Like, how many of us can hand-on-heart say that we hope our role becomes redundant because the business outgrew us? Our ego would be screaming. But with the context Laura brings in this episode, this becomes quite a liberating thought.

She also helps us see past “success” as an individualised experience, and instead, asks us to consider what collective and community success might look like. How might that change the way we show up professionally? 

What I also heard from Laura is that this way of building something also gives us back the one thing we can never get more of in the relative world: Time. Time to explore other parts of ourselves that want to be expressed. Time to consider the next season of our life and what would be most evolutionary for us once again. Because we are not the thing we started or the thing we do. 

I hope this episode helps you on your way. Thank you for being here.

My next guest is someone my sister suggested I follow a while back, and I’ve been obsessed with his signature style of spirituality even since. 

Sah D’Simone is a Brazilian-born meditation teacher based in Venice Beach, California. He’s also a bestselling author, transformational speaker and coach.

He’s worked with the likes of Kanye West, Cardi B and Google, but as you’ll soon hear, those names were never on his career vision board. For Sah, True Self Success starts and ends in service. 

Sah developed his personal equation for liberation through desperation. He said that even in some of the most enlightened rooms in the world, he experienced the same kinds of psychological and verbal oppression he experienced in the non-spiritual rooms in his life. So he created the Spiritually Sassy method, which, in its simplest form, helps people be themselves. It’s been described as a life-embracing path to awakening in modern times.

There’s so much for us to learn in this episode. He talks about starting and growing a spiritual business, learning to dance with fear and the uncertainty that comes with entrepreneurship, how to create from a place of abundance vs. scarcity, altruism as the ultimate strategy and so much more. 

I hope this episode helps you on your way. Thank you for being here.

This episode is part of my ongoing Self Care Sundays mini-series produced by Studio Offline and in partnership with Estée Lauder. I sit down with some of the brand’s inspiring ambassadors and friends to have an honest conversation about self care and success.

My next guest is the perfect example of this idea that we need to get comfortable with discomfort when it comes to evolving professionally. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Jess Pecoraro is one of Australia’s most in-demand celebrity stylists, and during the pandemic, like so many others, executed a brilliant pivot. She co-founded a styling subscription platform called Selected. What she didn’t anticipate, though, was how hard it would be to come out from behind the scenes, to lead the scene. 

Also, the unique challenge anyone who is wanting to move into online learning and education faces: How to create a methodology for that which is just simply felt and known.

In this episode, Jess shares her journey from magazine intern to styling the likes of Pip Edwards, Delta Goodrem and Jesinta Campbell. She opens up about choosing a redundancy package over re-applying for her role, how she overcame her fear of public speaking and presenting, why confidentiality is a key contributor to her success and the role she believes fashion plays in our lives. 

I hope this episode helps you on your way. Thank you for being here.

#Jalison is back. If you’ve listened to my first and second honest conversation with Juliet Allen, you’ll know about our cute nickname. We became fast friends after our first recording session and now I probably talk to Juliet more than I do Tony during the day. We’re both deep in our motherhood season and we also have really similar businesses, so we exchange voice texts all day about everything from what bibs we’re using, to what we’re currently creating and what we’re having for dinner. It’s nice. I think we keep each other sane.

If you don’t know about Juliet, she’s Australia’s leading sexologist and the founder of Pleasure School, The Juliet Pleasure Wand and Yinn. Body. 

The last two times she’s been my guest, we’ve spoken about sex. This time, I invited her back on to talk about how she’s built and grown such a pioneering and progressive business, but also, to share what life and work looked like before the Juliet Allen we know today. She’s worked so hard to get where she is so I want you to keep that in mind. 

Slow, meaningful, deliberate. 

In this episode, we talk about authentic expression over having a social media strategy, how leaving a financially secure situation was the moment her business began to thrive, productising her brand and generating new income streams, how she uses sex magic, visualisation and manifestation to reach her goals, and why success has nothing to do with the amount of money in her bank account.

Juliet has been a huge expander for so many of us who want to use our unique gifts to serve, and to make a living while we do it. A big thank you to Juliet for opening up so we can all learn.

I hope this episode helps you on your way. Thank you for being here.

Are you ready to receive? Because I want you to go into this honest conversation with an understanding that it has the potential to spark real and meaningful change in your life. Evolution. I was actually crying quietly in the background for a lot of this conversation. 

Tori Washington calls herself a money medicine woman. She’s a business and sales mentor, and the founder of Wealth Embodiment Flow. It’s a somatic financial practice that exists to reprogram our relationship with money, and what it means to feel prosperous from a cellular level.   

You know, I always talk about us all being loving ideas in the eyes of God. Speaking to Tori, I felt God in the room. She is such a steady and clear vessel, and being in the presence of someone who is here doing God’s work. . . It's rare. And that makes it energising. Exciting. Through mentors like Tori, we’re able to bear witness to what it looks and sounds like when we’re living in alignment with our true nature and using our unique gifts to serve. 

This is Offline’s reason to exist. 

This episode is dedicated to what it means and looks like to create a wealth identity from someone who has lived it herself. Tori filed for bankruptcy four years ago and at the time of recording, had just celebrated her first million dollar year. 

Keep going. Don’t give up. 

I don’t need to hope this one helps you on your way. I know it will. Thank you for being here.

Dearest you.

This episode is produced in partnership with Estée Lauder and is a continuation of our Self Care Sundays mini-series. Over four seasons now, it’s been an honour to sit down with some of the brand’s inspiring ambassadors and friends to have an honest conversation about self care, skincare, confidence and success.

My next guest is someone very dear to me. She was my moment of self care every eight weeks for two years when I was working as a digital publisher. I used to book her last appointment at 7pm and fall in a heap on her treatment bed. Her name is Diandra Politano.

A regular facial with Diandra was a luxury I could afford at the time, but for me, it was about much more than skin health. It was the way she cared for me. The way she rubbed my sore shoulders and massaged my hands. She led me into rest during a chapter of my life when I had an unhealthy addiction to my work. 

Fast forward six years and Diandra is one of Sydney’s most in-demand facialists. 

When I had this honest conversation with Diandra before Christmas in 2021, she’d already closed her personal book to new clients in 2022. I just thought that was so truly incredible. To be providing the kind of self care that people prioritise up to a year out.

There’s so many of us starting our own service-based businesses and all we could ever dream of is being booked out. Having that sense of financial security but also the feeling of confidence that comes when we can clearly see that people need what we have to give. 

I hope you adore this honest conversation. We talk about the big resignation moment before starting your own thing. About business values and boundaries. About preserving our gifts. About setting the plan and getting comfortable with the unknown.

I hope this episode helps you on your way. Thank you for being here.

Thank you for being here. Let me share what you being here means. 

• It means you’re ready for your professional truth. 
• It means you’re ready to align your profession with your essence. 
• It means you’re done waiting for someone else to provide you with the professional development they promised, and that you’re taking your evolution into your own hands. Where it always belonged. 
• You being here means you’re ready to claim your one big life. 
• You being here means you want professional peace. 
• You want more from your ambition. You want it to stand for something. 
• You want more than the things that signify success today. 
• You want to feel success. 
• You also want to learn how to harness your ambition. To direct it into places and spaces that serve you and the evolution of all things. 
• You being here means you trust me and that on some level, you value what I have to give. 

It’s my honour to share Off— with you. A professional development space for the consciously ambitious.

Part mentorship, part knowledge membership and part conscious professional network, Off— is my response to what you’ve told me you need: Mentorship. Strategic but conscious career and business advice. Thoughtful leadership. A network of conscious colleagues that will become your expanders and your cheerleaders. 

Thank you for listening and I hope to see you in there!

Now, while I can’t control how you’ll experience this episode, my hope is that it speaks directly to your innate deservingness for a life that is joyful and happy. That it encourages you to see what you do for a living as less about what you’ll get, and more about unlocking what you have to give. I hope this episode gives you the courage to create a life that feels like your own, not one that someone else suggested you live.

Shaman Durek is a sixth-generation Shaman, the founder of The Shaman School, and best-selling author of the book Spirit Hacking: ​​Shamanic Keys to Reclaim Your Personal Power, Transform Yourself, and Light Up the World.

If I had to sum up this episode in a sentence, it’s about reclaiming our independence. And perhaps even more specific than that, our spiritual independence. 

Shaman Durek is dedicated to giving people their power back. His wisdom and his work asks us to be our own damn gurus. He reminds us that we are the expert on us, and that if we choose to exist as the multidimensional beings that we actually are, then we’ll bump into happiness. We’ll feel the sense of fulfilment we’ve been seeking through otherwise unsustainable and oftentimes self serving and stagnant pathways. 

He believes that success is no more than us being able to live in a place of joy, happiness, freedom and play within what we do. I’m in.

I hope this episode helps you on your way. Thank you for being here.

Dearest you. 

If you’ve been listening to Offline since the beginning or at least since season two, you’ll know about Bondi Meditation Centre founder and Vedic Meditation teacher, Matt Ringrose. He taught me this effortless meditation technique a few months after I launched the podcast in 2018, and it quite simply changed the direction and intention of my life, my work and how I define success.

Matt was just the type of teacher I needed at a time in my life when things felt really hard, sad, anxious and serious. Fast forward three and a half years and Matt remains a steady counsel in my life and also a friend.

We both received such a warm reception for our first episode, so it’s really an honour to bring you another honest conversation with Matt.

We spoke for two hours (!) so I’m publishing it over two episodes. This is part one. We covered a lot of really valuable ground but the thread that weaves its way throughout is letting go. How to let go of all that is holding us back and what becomes possible when we do.

Ok, here’s to letting go of our professional attachments and the definitions of success that don’t serve our evolution. I’m calling it professional peace.

Alison xo

P.S. Matt spent close to a year developing a guided online course called Learn to Let Go and just like Vedic Meditation, it was a transformative learning experience for me so we decided how wonderful to share it with all of you. Our invitation to study with Matt is sprinkled throughout both episodes, but if you miss anything, all of the information you need is detailed here:

Dearest you. 

Welcome back to part two of my honest conversation with a teacher of mine, Matt Ringrose. Matt initiated me as a Vedic Meditator in late 2018, and he’s been a steady counsel in my life ever since. 

If you’d like to start with part one, here it is. 

Having a conversation with Matt is never linear, and that’s what I’ve loved most about our chats over the years. In this most recent sit down, we discuss the powerful technique of letting go — something we are inviting you to learn how to do — and more specifically, what becomes possible when we let go of our professional attachments and the definitions of success that don’t serve our highest possible growth and evolution. 

This episode begins when we were discussing how our expectations of life, work, business and self evolve as our state of consciousness evolves and increases. Which is perfect and relevant, but for me personally has sometimes had a bit of a melancholy flavour to it. 

He also explains why acquiring things like cars, houses or even a private island aren’t the throughway to lasting fulfillment. 

Hope this one helps you on your way.

P.S. Matt spent close to a year developing a guided online course called Learn to Let Go and just like Vedic Meditation, it was a transformative learning experience for me so we decided how wonderful to share it with all of you. Our invitation to study with Matt is sprinkled throughout both episodes, but if you miss anything, all of the information you need is detailed here:

Enrolments to join us for our next three months inside Off— are now open. Off— is a conscious professional development space that exists to help you live out a professional reality that feels nourishing, sustainable, purposeful and true. 

You deserve this. We all do.

Our work isn’t supposed to leave us feeling burnt out, disappointed or hopeless. What we do for a living should be a productive outlet for our fulfillment, not the source of our fulfillment itself. 

This is one of the biggest lessons I teach inside this expanding professional development container — how to create space between who you are and what you do, and how serving from that place will evolve and elevate your definition of success. 

Three months of conscious professional development and community. You set the pace. Everything is recorded. 

Off— is professional development like you’ve never experienced it before. No more hustling. No more grinding. Just simply arriving at your highest professional expression. 

Enrolments for our August, September, October intake are open until midnight on Friday, July 29. I hope you say yes.

P.S.

The title of this episode is a small part of the moving testimonial Melissa sent me after her first three months inside our space.

More from Melissa: 

“If you feel that the structures and systems we've learned to subscribe to don't support the truest version of yourself and you're looking to consciously expand your career then I encourage you to become a co-creator inside Off— with us. 

"It's part learning, part mentorship, part brainstorming, sharing and exploring but at its essence Off— is a community. The energy inside this space is beautiful and you will feel held. When you're having one of those days and a voice memo from Alison drops in, it is the perfect reminder to take a breath and recognise that you know how to align your profession with your essence.

“When I first logged into the space and started to explore, The Greatest Showman was on TV. The song 'This Is Me' has special meaning. Jeannie Bourke sent it to me after a treatment at a time when I was really struggling at work. It almost felt like a little sign that Off— was exactly where I was meant to be, knowing that without her as your first guest on the podcast I might not have found Offline and all the things since. 

“I listened to it again today and the words made me think a lot about what I wanted to say as part of my testimonial but especially this:

‘I know that there's a place for us, for we are glorious.’” — Melissa

A very warm welcome to season eight of this beautiful and ever-evolving podcast. 

This episode is part of a brand-new series called Checking In With, where I touch base with some of Offline’s earliest guests to hear how they’re doing today, what they’ve moved through since we last spoke and of course, how their definition of success has evolved in and around the rich texture of their life experiences. 

This very first checking-in episode is with one of my best friends, Zoe Marshall. She was Offline’s fourth guest way back in season one. Zoe is my emotionally safe friend and while I didn’t realise it when I asked her to record with me, that’s really what this episode is about – friendship – and how important it is as aware and ambitious people that we have those emotionally safe relationships that we can fall backwards into when we’re being stretched to a new edge. 

I hope you adore this season’s honesty. I hope you feel the joy and the pleasure and the play I’m actively seeking following what has been a really hard couple of years. I also hope you adore the explorations into the darker spaces life leads my guests and I into as we seek to land more deeply into our True Self.

Thank you for being here.

Eleanor Pendleton, Sara Crampton and Beck Wadworth are three of Australia’s most successful women’s lifestyle influencers but they’re also three women I am grateful to call my friends. 

It’s been years between honest conversations and like so many of you, the four of us have moved through a lot — sustaining businesses during a global pandemic, pregnancy and sadly, pregnancy loss, birth, the first months and years of motherhood, terminally ill parents, the death of someone we love and the grief that follows — all while doing our best to show up for our teams, our communities and business’ missions. 

The girls and I put it all on the table and we hope in doing that, we provide you with a rich entry point into feeling more seen and heard within your own life experiences.

For episode 31 of Offline, I sit down with talented maker, jeweller and artist, Holly Ryan. Holly’s namesake jewellery line and in-demand sculptures define what it means to create consciously. Handmade in Australia using sustainable materials, Holly creates heirlooms. Her company’s stance on circularity and low waste practices are the example.

Holly generously shares her creative processes, how she maintains her authenticity while working in fashion, dealing with copycats, the disappointing need for us to put on a brave face even in times of grief, how she channelled her pain into her work, our collective tendency to lean on alcohol during hard times, and so much more.

Thank you for being here.

If you follow Nadine Jane Astrology on Instagram, you’ll know that she went away for a little while. Her absence was very felt on my feed and I thought about her often. I wondered if she was ok, and I hoped she’d be back creating her signature style of intuitive, soft and highly emotive astrology content. 

So you can imagine the smile on my face when I was presented with the opportunity to sit down with Nadine once again — three years after our first honest conversation. She’s such a joy to interview but I was also just so curious to ask her about the last couple of years. Where has she been? Why did she take a break? What did she do and how did it all feel?

As you’ll soon learn, our favourite New York City astrologer (currently residing in country Maine) experienced the very thing she’s guided many of us through — her Saturn Return. For Nadine, this significant astrological event brought with it something unexpected. It turned the lights out on her love affair with astrology and as someone who channels, what that meant was she lost her signal. 

Nadine and I explore what that was like, the other areas of growth her Saturn Return brought on, how it impacted the book she’d signed on to write and has since been published (Magic Days, her 800-page masterpiece), her evolved relationship with astrology and her body, and her cosmic weather report for this year. 

If you’ve been thinking about making a brave decision, you’re going to like what she has to say.

Thank you for being here.

A gentle warning upfront. This episode covers difficult topics like pregnancy loss, infertility and navigating the death of a parent while becoming a parent.  

I never expect the stories and experiences my guests hold closest to their hearts but I am always grateful when they gift them to us. This episode is no exception — Leigh and I really go there on some pieces and while an emotional listen at times, I know we both believe so necessary to bring the context and complexity to lives that otherwise look perfect and pain-free from the outside. 

We hope you love our chat and know you’ll hold us in our shares. Some are sweet, some are silly, some are brave, some act as an example of our privilege and some are so raw they make us want to take it back.

This episode is a bit of a full circle moment for me. Caitlin and Anna interviewed me back in 2018 for what was then a soon-to-launch podcast but is now the very well established Lady Brains. I was still working in publishing and I had begun recording for Offline but it was still my little secret so to be sitting here five years later having an honest conversation about the texture and terrain we’ve all moved through as podcasters and founders is a real honour. 

Like, we did it! We're still here!

We had what I think is a really uncommon and kind of complex conversation about being a founder while also helping other founders. While we serve very differently, we share many of the same challenges and experiences.

I am proud of this conversation because it feels like the antidote to polish and shine of typical founder interviews. We don’t talk in grabs and we take time to think about what we want to say. There’s lot of purposeful pauses. 

Maybe it is just me, but this feels very compelling and encouraging as we come out of the era that hurt more of us than it helped — Girl Boss and the grind culture that came with it. 

We hope you love out very honest conversation and that it allows you a moment to lean out and make contact with something real and unscripted. 

Thank you for being here.

The first time I sat down with doctor, rocket scientist, author and zero waste life advocate, Dr. Anita Vandyke, she was looking ahead to a bright and exciting future with her husband James and daughter Vivian. She was close to graduating from medical school and had just written her second book, The Zero Waste Family. 

But just two years on, things look quite different. Today, Anita’s list of titles includes widow. Devastatingly, she lost her husband James to cancer in late 2022. He was just 40 years old. 

If you’re a regular listener of this sweet and stable podcast, you’ll know that some of my most connected episodes are the ones birthed during or after a significant life experience. At the time of recording and releasing this episode, that life experience is the passing of my beautiful mum and the grief that has followed. 

This honest conversation is dedicated to James and to my mum. It’s also dedicated to every person who can no longer smell, touch and hear someone they love. It’s for anyone who wants to learn how to be someone to the person left behind. What to say. What to do. How to be there and catch them in the oceanic swell that is loss.

Thank you Anita for allowing the deep well of grief you hold for James to spill over so we can hear it and feel it and hopefully, help you carry it.

P.S. I am sorry about the interference… we recorded in person at Anita’s home and I think our pesky mobile phones tried to get involved.

If you’re an entrepreneur or business leader, you’ll know how many business mentors, coaches and courses are out there selling you success. It’s noisy and a lot of the advice is conflicting.

This episode is an opportunity for us to lean out of all of that noise and learn from an elder in conscious and ethical business. Jeannie Bourke has been running her beauty and body lab Venustus through the lens of her ethics, her morals and her values for over 30 years. It has been a heart-first business with a deep and intentional why long before people were writing entire books about it and calling it a strategy. 

There’s so much goodness in this one:

• How to attract, train and retain a 10-year team
• How she’s taken the wisdom, tools and techniques she’s learnt over 40 years and literally infused them into the walls and floors of her new space (which opens this month!)
• How she uses her body as a compass in business
• The benefits of conscious business owners getting comfortable with money and earning it
• Why not everything needs to scale and how this can actually become a barrier to our long-term impact
• Unpacking the concept of failure when our ideas are channeled — did we fail or were we early?

Thank you for being here.

When Maeva Heim and I first sat down for an honest conversation in 2019, her texture-inclusive haircare brand, Bread, was still an idea yet to be realised. She was halfway through Seophora’s Accelerate program and four years later, we’re having a very different conversation.

Maeva went on to secure investment and launch Bread (during the pandemic no less) and is now stocked exclusively in Sephora in Australia and multiple beauty retailers in the US including Ulta and Cult Beauty. 

She shares so many rich insights and learnings from her journey in this episode. Some highlights include:

• Why she believes it is actually about who you know not what you know
• What she did to build her network from knowing no-one in the industry to meeting the haircare buyer at Sephora in the States
• What investors are looking for in pre-launch businesses
• Her take on the role our work should play in our lives
• Why not everyone is built to work in a start-up
• Stepping up as a leader and CEO
• Why operating in 2022 was harder than operating in the pandemic 
• Her observations on the VC space right now 

We had a lot of fun the second time around. Hope we offer you a lot of insight and also some giggles.

Imagine a professional reality that is entirely unsubscribed from hustle culture, comparison and the relentless pursuit of a definition of success that no longer feels true for you. Imagine waking up every single day feeling like you’re living a life you’ve chosen, and that the shape of your day is weighted evenly between meeting your own needs, the needs of the people you love and the needs of the business you work for or the one you own. And that on some days, there’s no need at all. There’s just rest. Play. Pleasure.

This can be real and I know this to be true because I am living this professional reality. I’ve gone from hustling and grinding to a level of grounded that makes me walk and talk slow. From pushing my career in a particular direction to simply letting it unfold. From over-analysing my next move to trusting that what's meant for me won't miss me. From feeling like I was compromising my values to now leading a thriving business that is built on my values.

The moment I realised what I was doing for a living was no longer a fit with how I wanted to be living and what I wanted my life to represent, I knew I had to be an agent of change. I knew I had to define my own highest vision and move in the direction of it despite what other people might think.

What is your highest vision and will you let me help you realise it?

This episode is part of my long-running Self Care Sundays mini-series in partnership with Estée Lauder. For the past four years, I’ve sat down with some of the brand’s local ambassadors and friends to have an honest conversation about self care, skincare and success.

In keeping with this season’s theme of checking-in with past guests, today I am curled up on the lounge with Nadia Fairfax-Wayne — a leading Australian creative, fashion influencer and the editor of Fairfax Journal. 

A lot has happened in the four years between honest conversations. She got engaged, married, converted to her husband’s religion, bought a home, renovated and decorated it, broke up with a close friend (a life event that led her to therapy) and so much more. I wanted to talk about it all.

We hope you love it and that it feels like you’re in the room with us.

Goodbye Girl Boss. The new era of entrepreneurship is here and it's service-led, life-giving and seasonal.

We are not here to work more than we live or to be contained to a rigid 9-5 schedule that leaves us very little free time to follow our bliss. We are here to experience everything our one, big life has to offer and to contribute to the evolution of all things along the way. 

The system we've been conditioned to subscribe to simply can't support our fullness and our wholeness. It can't move with the natural and intrinsic seasons and cycles that exist within a diverse and expressed life.

So it's time to build our own system. It's time to believe in our innate resourcefulness and our ability to successfully work for ourselves.

I hope you say yes to my annual 12-week business program, serve.

This episode was recorded live at Sundays Offline, Brisbane on November 11, 2023. Jasmine and I catch up on what we've both moved through in the four years between honest conversations. We explore the lessons life has offered us and Jasmine shares some very good news. We hope you adore our chat and that you feel like you are right there in the room with us. 

I’d love to send my sincerest thanks to: 

• Cass and Newstead Studios for hosting Offline once again in your beautiful creative space
• My cherished co-creator Kymberly Louise for your effortless and calm event management style. You are literally the reason I could just roll in and do my thing 
• Lunae Sparkling for our crystal-infused refreshments, so very Offline
• The stunning and interesting Miss Midgely’s for hosting me the night before the event. Miss Midgley’s is a 160 year-old heritage home that has had many lives. The house was recently reimagined as a heritage guesthouse by mother and daughter Lisa and Izzie. It’s perfectly positioned on James Street in New Farm so if you’re looking for somewhere just that little bit more special to stay, you’ll adore Miss Midgley’s

Whether or not your boss approves your pay rise request can feel personal, but I'd like to offer you a reframe and also the advice that will put you in the strongest position to get paid what your contribution is worth.

Welcome to a brand-new episode format where I take the questions I get asked the most as a conscious career and business mentor, and offer my advice in a short but value-packed episode of Offline, The Podcast.

How do I ask my boss for more money without getting them offside? What if they say no, will it be weird after that?

I hope my advice helps you or someone you love that deserves more than they're currently getting.

Another solo episode with yours truly. Off— opens for enrolments on April 7, 2024 and I wanted to give you an experience of my range as a conscious career and business mentor.

Here’s what’s on the mentoring menu:

• Navigating the feeling of failure or loss when we don’t take action on intuitive pulls and nudges 
• The biggest red flag when considering going into business with a friend and how to end a friendship we’ve evolved beyond with grace
• Why aren’t doors opening for me?

This season's theme is Land in Your Deservingness. We're going to make contact with our infinite deservingness and find safety in wanting more and holding more. More money. More opportunities. More responsibility. More influence. More impact. More aligned friendships. More purpose in our career or business and the list goes on.

The transformation available to you is evolving beyond the blocks you might have around money, self-worth or the unique value you bring to the world.

We’ll be gathering just once in 2024 so if this conversation feels true for you, then this is the season for you.  

The theme we will be expanding into inside Off— is Land in Your Deservingness. What does that mean? It means closing the gap between what you’re currently receiving and what you intrinsically deserve. More money — whether that be a pay rise or raising your rates. More opportunities. More responsibility — a promotion or becoming more for and to your clients. More impact. 

There really isn’t another voice or guide I’d want to usher this season in with. Megan is a light in an otherwise pretty dark corner of the self development space: Money.

I hope you adore our very honest conversion and I most especially hope you join us inside Off—. Visit www.getoffline.co/off to explore.

It’s officially time to walk ourselves home to ourselves and our own, individual definitions of success. It’s time to get explicit about how we want to live and how we want our lives to feel. 

I'm here presenting an alternative lens to view success through, and it's called A Little, Rich Life.

So beautiful to be back in your ears.

Host Alison Rice has an honest conversation with conscious influencer, storyteller and founder of Loudly Quietly, Jess Molina.

Have you ever wondered how influencers choose projects and for the more conscious creators out there, the vetting process they go through when deciding whether or not to work with a brand? Jess is a guiding light on these topics. 

In this honest conversation, Jess shares openly and honestly across a broad range of topics related to fashion, writing, influencing and inclusion —including the day she saw the Jess in her mind reflected back at her in the mirror — financially supporting her family and the subsequent guilt that can come with spending on herself, her advice to people who want to write but are struggling to find their voice, transparency around gifting on Instagram, how she’s navigated pricing herself for influencer projects, moving beyond diversity and inclusion as an initiative and into an ethos, reclaiming the word fat and her advice to anyone who is struggling to develop a loving relationship with their body.

In a reality where influencing has become a viable career path, Jess is the example of the type of influencer we should be following and celebrating.

For episode 50 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down 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. Alison and Kaity 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.

For episode 71 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with the hosts of Shameless the podcast, Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews. 

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be catapulted into the public sphere with one of your best friends before the age of 25? Oh, and add to that the whole thing is being recorded and millions of people are not only listening and enjoying what you say, but some are also judging and critiquing what you say.

As a fellow podcaster Alison has, which is why she has so much respect for her two guests. 

The timing couldn’t be more perfect for these three women and podcasters to record together. Zara and Michelle recently released their first book, The Space Between, which is dedicated to the mess and madness of our twenties. It is as fun as it is nuanced and deep. 

In this honest conversation, Zara and Michelle open about navigating privacy, learning which stories are theirs to tell, how being rejected from mainstream networks was the throughway to their success, the importance of therapy to process their experiences, how they’re thinking about building a modern media business in 2020 and beyond, and so much more. 

Alison hopes you love getting to know two of Australia’s most exciting, young media pioneers on a deeper level.

I ask Matt to unpack some Vedic philosophy in the hope it sheds some light on why this particular body of wisdom and its meditation technique has such a profound impact on our physical and mental wellbeing. Matt has been meditating for over 10 years, and teaching for nearly as many. He's taught thousands of people this life-deepening technique.

In this special Self Care Sundays mini-series produced by Studio Offline and in partnership with Estée Lauder, host Alison Rice sits 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. 

Alison’s 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 Alison 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.

For episode 37 of Offline, I sit down with Jaclyn Michelle, a Human Design chart analyst, teacher and the founder of Interior Creature. 

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.

Thank you for being here.

For episode 34 of Offline, I sit down 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 a newborn, 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.

Thank you for being here.

In honour of National Reconciliation Week, please enjoy this replay of Alison's honest conversation with proud Wiradjuri woman, mum, award-winning STEM journalist and host, Rae Johnston. It first aired in May 2019.

Compassionate, strong and with an incredible sense of justice, Rae is a modern role model for women everywhere.

In this episode, Rae shares unique and inspiring lessons taken from her humble beginnings — including what it was like to have $5 left each week after paying her bills and feeding her child as a 19 year-old mum, the disappointing and often-complex realities of being a woman working in gaming, tech and science, her reflections on the trauma she experienced as a young model trying to get her start, her advice to employers on how to attract and support Indigenous talent, and how proposing to her husband was less about challenging gender norms and more about deep love and respect.

This conversation is longer than others, but every minute of it is compelling, educational and inspiring.

In this special Self Care Sundays mini-series produced by Studio Offline and in partnership with Estée Lauder, host Alison Rice sits down with the brand’s Australian ambassadors and experts to have an honest conversation about life on the other side of the filter.

This season, the mini-series explores our collective relationship with the word confidence. What does confidence really mean to women, how do we get more of it and what does having it help us to achieve?

The topic and series celebrates Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Foundation, a product that allows women to wear confidence and feel empowered to take on the day. 

Alison’s next guest is fitness entrepreneur and conscious leader, Kirsten King. The founder of Fluidform Pilates and mother of three opens up about how and why Pilates helps women to heal, while also building their confidence. 

On an energetic level, Kirsten and her team help clients move into their feminine — to find their softness and their grace. And on a physical and mental level, they help clients heal physical and sexual trauma, body shame and hatred, as well as calm anxiety and help women who suffer from depression. 

Kirsten also opens up about leading consciously, motherhood and what fears she had to overcome before opening her studio in 2012.

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

First up is the delightful Nadia Fairfax. An ex-elite gymnast turned fashion creative and the editor of Fairfax Journal, Nadia is fun personified. A connector who loves nothing more than seeing her friends and family having a good time, Nadia is a natural entertainer and as you’ll soon learn, always takes a glass half full approach to life. 

With a following in hundreds of thousands and a lifestyle that sees her on a plane most months for both work and play, I was interested to learn about Nadia’s approach to self care. How does a modern woman with such a packed social and travel schedule prioritise things like getting a good night’s sleep, maintaining a consistent skincare routine and caring for her emotional wellbeing? 

As an ambassador for Estée Lauder, part of Nadia’s role is to educate on cult products like Advanced Night Repair. In this episode, she reveals the ANR trick she learnt from fellow ambassador and beauty expert Eleanor Pendleton, and how it allows her to use the power of the night to maximise her skincare routine. 

Thank you for being here.

For episode 46 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with one of the most fashionable women on the planet, Anine Bing. 

In October 2019, Anine was in Sydney to celebrate the opening of the first Anine Bing Australia store in Paddington, marking the 15th opening since she started the brand from her LA garage in 2012.

What we learn in this episode, is Anine’s success story is one born from humble beginnings, hard work and a dedication to exploring and expressing her creativity. 

Anine grew up in a small village in Sweden of just 8,000 people, and by 15, she’d already travelled the world as a model. It was those early, more nomadic days, that shaped the Anine Bing brand we know and love today. 

Anine shares her journey from modelling to music (she started a rock band in her early twenties called Kill Your Darlings), then blogging, and how she leveraged her Instagram following to start her own now-global fashion company. 

She also shares the key roles she brought in along the way, her early creative process, how it has evolved with the brand’s “see now, buy now” model, her reflections on motherhood, her relationship with her phone and what she does to find some calm within her big and busy life.

For episode 25 of Offline, I sit down with musician, model, ex-AFL player and ambassador for suicide prevention charity, U R OK, Tom Derickx. Offline exists as an exploration of self and as we journey deeper, it’s important to show both the light and the shade. For some, our sense of self is veiled by anxiety and for others, it’s the dark night of depression. In this episode and for the first time, Tom bravely shares the thing he’s held closest to him — his battle with both.

We hope that for the people listening who are also caring for their mental health, or who are a support person or want to find out how to be one, that this honest conversation helps.

Thank you for being here.

We discuss pushing creative boundaries, her long-held disinterest in being “accepted” as a blogger, why she sees her ADHD diagnosis as a strength, how to explain our needs to the people in our lives, why it is time to de-stigmatise therapy, life in New York City and the importance of not only having mentors, but also sharing our knowledge with mentees.

In this special Self Care Sundays mini-series produced by Studio Offline and in partnership with Estée Lauder, host Alison Rice sits down with the brand’s Australian ambassadors, friends and experts to have an honest conversation about life on the other side of the filter.

This season, the mini-series continues to explore our collective relationship with the word confidence. What does the word confidence really mean, and what does having more of it help us to achieve?

The topic and series celebrates Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Foundation, a product that allows women to wear confidence and feel empowered to take on the day. 

Alison’s next guest is Australian food entrepreneur, Donna Hay — a name synonymous with simple but delicious recipes enjoyed by families across the country. 

In many ways, this honest conversation honours the time and level of integrity it takes to build a brand that transcends trends and mediums. 

Donna has written 27 cookbooks selling over six million copies worldwide, and has successfully expanded into homewares and TV. But as someone who identifies as shy, how did she find or cultivate the confidence to do it? In this episode, Alison and Donna explore Donna’s journey to success and the lessons she’s learned along the way.

Host Alison Rice has an honest conversation with fashion magazine co-founder and creative director, Annika Hein. In this episode, Annika shares the importance of backing yourself and self-finding your idea, the risks involved in starting your own business and how to maintain your creative integrity — especially when there’s real money on the table. 

JANE Magazine is a Melbourne-based, biannual fashion and fine art publication shot on film and printed on paper. The magazine explores the disciplines of art, photography, fashion, philosophy and poetry. 

Sounds a bit intimidating, right? Turns out Annika is anything but. Get ready to hear from a funny, down-to-earth, thoughtful and generous woman who isn’t scared to say what she really thinks. 

Alison and Annika cover some incredible ground in this honest conversation, including Annika’s pregnancy, a 36-hour home birth that ended with an emergency transfer to hospital, what she and partner Odin learned from living slowly in country Victoria, navigating perfectionism and a sometimes brutal examination of self, how she maintains her creative integrity while building and funding a business, the risks they took to launch issue one of the magazine and what starting her day with rituals helps her to achieve. 

Please note: Before they get onto business, Annika is an open book about her home birth experience. If pregnancy and birth is either triggering or irrelevant to where you’re at right now, please navigate this episode using the timestamps below.
