Feeling like this January feels different? That's because it is, and you’re not broken; the map is changing. In this episode we dive into why the fresh start effect piles on pressure, how nervous systems ignore calendar flips, and what to do when motivation is high but readiness is low. I'm sharing my personal context, and how to connect lived realities to how we market, lead and build brands that actually fit the moment.

If setting goals feels heavy, this one is for you.

In this episode I’m talking about the thing most brands are pretending isn’t happening: the world has moved on, and your brand probably hasn’t.

We’re standing at the edge of the biggest wealth transfer in history, with trillions shifting from Boomers to Millennials and Gen Z... people who don’t buy on “features and vibes,” they buy on values, receipts and whether they actually trust you.

I'm discussing what that means for brand building now: why trust is in recession, why performative anything dies on impact, and why cultural intelligence isn’t a 'nice to have'... it’s the whole assignment.

If you’ve got that nagging feeling your brand is starting to feel a bit… 2019, this one will help you figure out why, and what needs to shift so you’re aligned with where the market is going, not where it used to be.

TW: This episode discusses gender-based violence, femicide, child deaths, and systemic failures surrounding these issues.

A map of red hearts shouldn’t have to exist, yet Sherele Moody has spent a decade making sure every woman and child lost to violence in Australia is named, counted, and remembered. In this episode I sit down with Sherele to unpack what it takes to build a living memorial that families can search and trust, how patterns emerge when you track every case, and why “awareness” without “accountability” keeps the toll rising.

We speak about the uncomfortable truths: media narratives that decentre victims, headlines that blame and sensationalise, and the quiet ways misogyny shows up in language and decision-making. Sherele shares how her Red Heart campaign and Australian Femicide Watch document cases from first report to closure, capturing red flags, systemic failures, and context that helps other women see risks earlier.
