Trigger warning: Child sexual abuse
We’ve said before that survivors of child sexual abuse often end up more resilient than others, purely because of what they have had to live through.
Well Malika Reese is possibly the purest example of that, because not only did she survive abuse as a child, she also went on to face her perpetrator and see him charged, survive a robbery and survive having a car run her and her baby down.
Malika Reese was born in California in the 70’s, to a White writer and a Black writer.
As an emcee, speaker, writer, musician and storyteller, Malika has been performing for over 30 years. She is Artist in Residence and celebrant at Tender Funerals. She has taught music, produced dozens of community events, co-written multiple shows and performed at many places, including Sydney Opera House, TEDx, Woodford Folk Festival and Sydney, Adelaide, Darwin and Melbourne Fringe Festivals. She is a founding member of The Church of the Clitori.
Malika has also written an educational play called ”A Gentle Talk About Death for Little Ones”. She will follow this up with "A Gentle Talk About Bodies for Little Ones”. She is an outspoken advocate to bring awareness about CSA and works closely with Women’s groups to speak out against DV
In this episode she shares:
What life looked like growing up and how she moved aroundHer experience being groomed by her step fatherHow her grandmother gave up everything to try and protect herWhat happened at 14 that caused her abuse to stopHer realisation about her shame and its effect on herWhat her journey to recovery looked likeHow her abuser children and getting recognition lead her to having him chargedWhat the process of having her abuser charged was likeThe moment she and her son were run down by a car and reversed overHow insurance for the car accident was as traumatising as court for her assault caseHer perspective on the healing journeyKey Quotes

Trigger warning: domestic violence
Today we are joined by someone who has truly lived a life of challenges, lessons and intriguing turns.
From navigating violence in the home as a teenager, to being a woman in the military when they had only just started accepting women back into the technical fields, Stephanie Burns has seen a lot.
In 1973, Stephanie became one of the first women trained as an engineer by the U.S. Army Signal Corp. Graduating #1 in her class, she received orders to be trained as a military instructor. After leaving in 1976, she worked in corporate roles before starting her own training company in 1981, with NASA as her first client. Others, such as, ABC-TV and presenting at computer Expos in cities throughout the US followed, focusing on helping adults adapt to the desktop computer revolution. The experience working with adults as students fuelled her intense curiosity about the development of new skills and knowledge, taking advantage of the adult brain and nervous system. This led her to make a complete shift from the tech industry to the fields of human behaviour and adult education. A move to Australia in 1987 led to the development of the Learning to Learn program and many others, presented in corporate, government and education sectors. This program, along with others, and numerous books, have impacted many thousands.
In this episode she shares:
Her journey to getting into the militaryWhy she became an independent contractorWhat made her realise that adults in school behave like childrenThe challenge of teaching higher ranking adults in the militaryThe influence of Stephanie's father and intense pursuitsThe importance of a supportive communityHow a family change led her mother to abuseWhat happened when her mum thought she was doing drugs and submitted her into a heroin outpatient centreHer journey to find her dad at 15 when she was kicked out of her mum’s homeKey Quotes
“I thought, she's gonna bloody kill me. She's gonna kill me and she's not gonna know she did it."
“In my first class were 30 men, they all outranked me, they were older than I was and they were physically bigger.”

Trigger warning: domestic violence and mental health
When it comes to domestic violence, no two situations are the same. That is why it can be so hard to understand from the outside what exactly is going on. We might look at someone driven and successful and find it impossible to believe they could end up in such a situation, but there can be all kinds of factors that influence self worth and affect a person’s ability to break free. For Emily-Jayne Sarrof multiple instances of burn out played a big role in her story.
Emily-Jayne is a Graduate of Architectural Design, Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach, Business Mentor, social media figure, host of the Empower with Em Podcast, and 6 figure business owner. She is an expert in all things creative design and leverages this to help business owners scale through elevating their branding and marketing.
In this episode she shares:
- The initial burn out she experienced
- The burnout she experienced from the job she'd taken to help stop burn out
- How domestic violence entered her life because of the burn out
- What she did wrong in hustling for her business
- What made her realise she had bad burn out
- Why she wouldn’t have listened to people warning her before she burnt out
- The moment that made her realise she was in a dv situation
- How a dog park helped heal her to the point of freeing herself
- The big impact her overseas travel had on her
- The importance of Defining Non-Negotiables in Life and Business
- How changing her belief system has helped her
- What does life look for her now
Key Quotes
“What was meant to become a journey for me to recover from burn out, became a journey to even deeper burn out.”
“I remember saying to myself I don’t love this person, I can’t be with this person, and yet I didn’t leave
“Ignoring the signs of needing rest is counter productive to the goals I want to be working towards in my business.”

Trigger warning,: domestic violence
We all know I am obsessed with discussing resilience on this podcast and the many ways it can show up.
One area we haven’t really covered though is the challenge of redefining ourselves in Mid Life when we can go through some of the biggest changes of our lives. And overcoming those changes can take some real resilience.
Jo Clark is one of those really resilient people who has not only gone through it, but is now helping others to do the same. Jo's life once moved at breakneck speed. She juggled the demands of work, family, and keeping everything running smoothly. She guided her children through school, cared for dying parents, and coped with their loss. After decades of teaching, she hit burnout while also navigating the challenges of perimenopause. And amidst it all, Jo and her family moved to a new town. Now, all of her inner transformation work, decades of teaching experience, studies and mentoring expertise have all led her to create a heart-led business that supports women through this phase of life.
In this episode she shares:
- Her childhood experiences of domestic violence
- What it was like living on the land in remote Australia
- The challenge of transitioning from the land to a different lifestyle
- Her experience with empty nest syndrome and Resilience
- Why Midlife is a time for reflection and re-evaluation of one's values and life choices.
- How grief can be multi-layered and complex, and it can impact different aspects of life

"Open conversations about domestic violence are crucial"
"Experiences of adversity can shape a person's resilience”

Burn out is a topic we have covered before, but what happens when you are a high performer, working overseas far away from all your support networks and it hits you when you are completely unprepared for it? Dr Kellie Pritchard-Peschek is a performance scientist, executive health coach, and speaker who helps executive women on the brink of burnout restore their health and return to high performance. In a former life, Dr Kellie Pritchard-Peschek worked with Olympic athletes across Australia and Europe, supporting them in achieving medal-winning performances at international events such as the Olympic and Commonwealth Games, as well as World, European, and Pan Pacific Championships. It was her dream job but it was also where she neglected personal health and became a burned-out wreck
In this episode she shares:
Her early career life and the kind of high performance lifestyle she ledWhat happened when she went overseasWhat happened with the new job and move that had an impact on herWhat it was like when she realised how bad things had gottenWhy she couldn’t even admit to herself how bad things were at the startThe moment that forced her to stopHow exercise turned from her support to the thing that made things worseThe problem with keeping our struggles to ourselvesWhat the process of unpacking and dealing with it was like for herThe shame and guilt she felt around her burn outKey Quotes
“I didn’t have family, I didn’t have friends to lean into when things got pressured and tough in that work situation
“I ignored those pebbles, those rocks, and it wasn’t until the boulder came that it stopped me in my tracks.”
“I remember walking the halls of my apartment in the cold, the dark, just crying in sheer frustration and utter exhaustion.”

Trigger warning: miscarriage
Grief is a nuanced and varied thing can hits everyone differently and often in unexpected ways. One person who knows about this is Katie Rössler. In late 2018, her life came to a halt. Her mother died unexpectedly, and the following year, she experienced two miscarriages while trying for a third child. This led to burnout, and relationship struggles as she work through parts of her life not turning out the way she’d hoped. Now, after 15 years as a licensed therapist working with individuals, couples, and families, she felt a deeper calling to help high achievers become more confident in creating their dream relationships.
In this episode Katie shares:
The moment she found out about her mother’s death when she lived overseasThe pregnancy losses she experienced in the year after her mums deathHer realisation about grief after her experiencesThe different kinds of griefHow journaling helped her through her griefWhat can happen when you hold grief inTools for grounding yourself from your grief when you are not in a safe spaceHow different people will and wont be able to help us with our griefWhat she suggests to do to get back to friends and people after you have retreated into your griefHow she suggests you can get people to accept their grief and take supportHer advice for how people can take the first steps to embracing and working with their griefKey Quotes
“There's just this mental game that starts to get played of, I must be being punished, there must be something I've done.”
“Really the definition of grief is letting go of the way we thought life would or should go.”

Trigger warning: Domestic Violence
Imagine joining the police force to save lives and make a difference, only to get so bogged down in bureaucracy and rules that you are unable to do anything when called out to a suspected domestic violence incident.
Now imagine that the woman who called you out is found dead 6 months later.
That’s the experience of Jamie Pultz, who left the police force not long afterwards and went on to launch the podcast Beenham Valley Road to investigate the death of Kirra McLoughlin.
In this episode Jamie shares:
How he got into the policeThe hardest parts about being in the policeThe time he was called out to Kirra’s homeHow it felt after he was unable to do anythingHow he got into starting the podcastWhy it’s so hard to prove psychological and other damage in suspected domestic abuse situationsOne of the positives that is helping with domestic violenceThe challenges he had in doing the podcastThe challenge of pushing for a coronial inquestHow his life has changed with podcastingWhat we should be doing to combat domestic violenceThe anxious thoughts he had about the whole podcastHow he managed his self doubtKey Quotes
“My mentor shouldn’t have been a mentor.”
“Legally we did the right thing, but morally you feel like, if we could turn back the clock what could we have done?”
“I've seen the system work and I've seen the system fail and in my short time in the police there was a lot of arse covering going on.”
