Extraordinary Ordinary People
Education Podcasts
I want to interview everyday people that I find extraordinary. Not the celebrities we often hear interviewed who - following the death of a parent - went on to make millions setting up a business or something similar. But ordinary - relatable people. I want to talk to those that lost a parent in their early formative years. I am not coming at this from the angle of a psychologist but from the angle of a friend encouraging the interviewee to share their experiences and give some helpful advice both to those going through the same thing and those trying to help their friends.

Dani Britz
4/7/2021
This weeks Extraordinary Ordinary guest is unlike any I have had before. Over the last 15 months, Dani Britz has lived through the shocking loss of her best friend and father, followed shortly after by her mother. What makes these all the worse, is the fact that they both passed away in South Africa, whilst she was living over 10,000km away in Australia. Anyone living far from home has dreaded the phone call that sadly Dani has received not once - but twice. What makes this episode all the...

Joining us on the sofa this week is the wonderful Nataschia Holland. Beautiful on the inside and out, stylish and straight talking, this proud South African force of nature bravely shared her story of her fathers loss to suicide over 14 years ago. Insightful, honest and vulnerable this will undoubtedbly be a useful source to anyone dealing with grief or trying to help a loved one through it.

What an absolute pleasure it was to sit down with Sophie. A truly unique episode as she has experienced not one, but two, terrible losses at such a young age. She opens up and talks with incredible maturity, insight and vulnerability in what I'm sure is an episode that so many listeners can learn from. Sit back and enjoy this episode with the wonderful and beautiful gem that is Sophie Macrae!

What an episode to return to! I had the chance to sit down with the beautiful, bursting, ball of energy that is Aimee who generously and sensitively shared her experiences of coping with having a Dad going through cancer. I hope you all learn as much as I did from this episode!

Welcome to my brand new podcast series 'Inside Out'!
In 2019 life is still easier for those that are straight than those that are gay.
In my eyes - this is a tragedy that it is up to our generation to change for the benefit of all of those – gay and straight -in the future.
I imagine that almost everyone that has come out has been subjected to some form of homophobia. Even the word ‘gay’ is used as an insult to belittle people - irrelevant of their sexuality.
I want to do my bit to...

Losing a parent is surely one of the hardest things any of us will have to deal with in life. And yet, it is one we will all experience at some point.
