**** Re-releasing this one in honour of its FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY THIS WEEK!!!! As you know, we had to say goodbye to our little Paul a few weeks ago which has pushed back our recording schedule, so I figured there may be some new ears who haven't heard this one yet. We'll be back next week with a very exciting guest, so stay tuned!!! **** I mean, what words really are there to do this week’s guest justice and adequately explain the feelings you can only imagine I felt being lucky enough to sit ...

This week’s guest epitomises why I LOVE doing this podcast so much and, for all its downsides, embrace the potential for connection that social media allows us in this day and age. We actually met THROUGH the yayborhood after this guest became our number one purchaser of quote of the day Flip Books and the support has been unwavering ever since… I don’t know how we actually got onto his incredible work, but it somehow emerged that Simon Morriss went from being an architect to becoming the CEO of...

I am so excited about this week’s guest having followed her story (and had her on our ultimate wish list) for many years now. Some of you may already know her, but if not, Sam Bloom is a world champion surfer, adventure traveller, best-selling author, neurology nurse and mother of three boys whose story also became a global hit movie, Penguin Bloom. That heartbreaking story begins in 2013 when Sam was paralysed in a terrifying accident in Thailand when she fell through a rotting balcony and it w...

Lovely yayborhood, I am SO excited about this week’s episode – you’ve probably seen snippets here and there of our recording and filming day, but our full chat is finally ready for you. As you’ve heard me say many times, the thing I love most about Seize the Yay (and the random collection of things I get to call a job) is the people I’m lucky enough to meet and one I’m still pinching myself about is today’s incredible guest – Rodrigo Pizarro, the CEO of L’Oréal Australia and New Zealand. Wayyy b...

We are sneaking another guest episode this week, as it is currently Men’s Health Week from 13th to 19th of June 2023. As you know, while men’s health, women’s health or anyone’s health (and the surrounding conversations) are important every day of the year, we do a dedicated episode each June to specifically remind us all of some of the major men's health statistics, challenges and resources and they’ve been so helpful to me even as a woman – as a wife, sister, friend, colleague, the list goes o...

I’m so thrilled to have someone who may be a familiar face to you on the show this week, but whose full story you may not know in as much depth - my favourite kind of episode. You might have seen Rachael Coopes through her role in the cult SBS series Life Support , the internationally-renowned McLeod’s Daughters or All Saints, or even as a regular presenter on Playschool. Talk about a diverse pathyay, she is also an award winning playwright, professional yogi which we barely had time to touch on...

Lovely yayborhood, this episode has been a long time coming with a guest I’ve admired for many years now. We have one of those relationships unique to our modern digital life where we haven’t actually met in person but have followed each other’s work and lives for some time, share many mutual friends and had just SO much to talk about… As you’ll hear, that means I strayed all over the place from my usual structured thinking I just had so many questions on so many topics and once you learn a bit ...

We are back from our little break with an absolute bang and a guest I’ve wanted to chat with for such a long time. Thank you so much for your patience while we adventured around the world, by the way – I hope you enjoyed our re-releases and I know you’ll enjoy this week’s guest even more. I’m talking of course about the woman, the legend, Toni Lodge , who you have probably heard from on her own amazing show, The Toni and Ryan Podcast , one of Australia’s top performing shows and for very good re...

*RE-RELEASE* We are taking a few weeks off recording while we're in Morocco, Ang is in Amsterdam and our wonderful editor Sam gets married. So to keep your ears busy, we're re-releasing some of our favourites and Emma Watkins was a pure delight! Excuse the time references, but if you missed this the first time around, it's a joy. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There aren’t many things that evoke more YAY than the Wiggles, especially a sunshine-coloured one!!!

Welcome to our first FOUR WAY EPISODE on the show! At this point, my memory is so bad that it’s entirely possible we’ve done one before, so ignore me if I’m incorrect – I actually love it when you guys remember things better than I do! Anyway, I am so excited about our guests today – I was lucky enough to jump on their brand-new podcast recently and enjoyed it so much I had to turn the tables a week later. Of course, I’m talking about Tass aka Natassia - the founder of trailblazing beauty brand ...

Welcome back lovely yayborhood and happy International Women’s Day! I couldn’t think of a better guest to celebrate all that is wonderful and womanly than the incredible Sophie Walker from Australian Birth Stories . I suspect that many of you listeners are also among the literal millions in the Australian Birth Stories community but, in case you aren’t just yet, it is one of Australia’s most successful shows sharing honest stories of women navigating the journey to motherhood – a space where con...

Welcome back lovely people, what a week it’s been for the yayborhood!!! Nic aka Mr YAYvidson’s return to the show last week for a hilarious Valentine’s episode – thank you all so much for listening and for the cute littlee love notes… But even more excitingly, our first in real life event in over three years and it was EVEN MORE AMAZING THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED. I won’t spend much time on it this week because we recorded some audio on the night and are putting it together for a proper debrief...

Hello lovely yayborhood and welcome to our second guest episode of the year. Continuing on our musical theme to kick off 2023, we’re chasing our classical singer, Josh Piterman, with a classical pianist, Van-Anh Nguyen , and one of the country’s very best at that! You might remember a few weeks ago, Ang and I were lucky enough to attend a Candlelight Concert where we cried our way through an hour of Van-Anh’s spine tingling renditions of Disney’s best and brightest accompanied by cellist, Aly Pa...

Welcome back, lovely yayborhood! Oh my goodness me, it is not settling into my brain that it’s 2023.... let alone the end of January! We had the loveliest break, but we’re BACK IN A BIG WAY and have such an exciting year planned – our first IRL event is already booked in for the 16th Feb now that we have Ang back on board properly so stay tuned for more details. On that note, you’ll be getting a dose of #yaysofourlives every fortnight and in next week’s episode we’ll follow up on Ang’s HUGE reve...

WELCOME TO 2023, LOVELY YAYBORHOOD!! For various reasons, we didn't release this straight after Ang's Anonymous Q&A Part I as originally mentioned - we wanted to release it when we were together (it will probably become clear why when you listen) and have only just reunited after our travels. So thank you, again, for your patience and I hope you had a beautiful break and holidays yourselves! This year, we are so excited to have Ang on board properly, so there's already SO much more in the wo...

If you’re sick of the Antarctica content, this week we’re back to our regular programming with one of the loveliest, most well-adjusted and inspiring humans - you know those people you speak to and they just have SUCH a good head on their shoulders you want to be around them more? And I didn’t realise this until after we finished recording but we have the SAME BIRTHDAY just a year apart, so it was always going to be love at first chat for me especially having followed her from afar for so many y...

Beautiful people, I am finally back from the great white continent and am genuinely speechless. The yay involved with every moment in Antarctica was absolutely indescribable!!! Although, as per usual, when I say “there are no words” I follow with a million words so you’ll be getting bombarded with reflections and feelings in due course - I’m sitting down with Ang this week to unload and that will be coming your way very soon. Thank you so much for your patience by the way during the repeated bre...
