Poh Ling Yeow | Becoming a National Treasure | Episode 03
When you hear the name Poh, you know who I am talking about, there is only one – MasterChef Australia OG and National Treasure – Poh is the most lovable TV presenter, cook, writer and artist. But what about Poh the Loner or Poh the Church Rebel who found herself in Canada after “popping her cherry” in Utah?
Join us as we deep dive into Poh’s incredibly rich, complex and unique perspective on life, relationships and the human condition – from growing up an Asian migrant in a South Australia, joining and then leaving the Mormon church and later in her twenties divorcing her creative soul mate and husband, Matt, who she still calls her best friend today.
Poh does life her way, and by following her gut as well a few supportive nudges from the people close to her, Poh has achieved more than most dare to even dream and continually evolves. Tune into hear about a different side of Poh that you may not have heard before, one that proves no matter what the situation, following your heart and breaking convention will lead to a fulfilled life lived on your own terms.
Key Takeaways:
Accepting that it is OK to break convention and family expectations

The power and beauty of nature and the human condition to inspire creativity
Stop doing things that are no longer serving you, that make you are unhappy, to allow for more positive experiences and opportunities to enter your life

Di Foster | Thriving After a Secondary Terminal Cancer Diagnosis | Episode 02
What do you do when you are given a terminal cancer diagnosis that gives you 365 days to live? Try and tick off everything on your bucket list? Cry yourself to sleep and not get out of bed? Or madly try every alternative therapy?
How about get married, become pregnant and decide to have a baby as well as achieve your second black belt in karate?! Sounds pretty wild, but this is what motivational speaker and business coach, Di Foster did when she received that news.
Instead of overreacting, Di slowed things down, became more present and more grateful then ever before and experienced the joy of celebrating the simple things in life, like drinking tea out of lovely ceramics.
11 years later Di is still here to share her remarkable story and pearls of wisdom about what truly living a life on your own terms means. A little warning here, yes we speak about cancer but this is not a “cancer” story, it’s a life story – and does not constitute medical advice and as Di would say, the power is in you to know what is right for you. I hope that you enjoy this inspiring chat with an incredibly positive woman.
Key Takeaways
The power of gratitude and slowing down
Tuning into your intuition and what your body and gut is telling you
Cultivating self-awareness and listening to your intuition
