You might know Karen O'Leary as Officer O'Leary from the wildly hilarious television show Wellington Paranormal, but we know her as our friend and as a creative heavy-hitter across platforms and projects.

Karen started her working life as an early childhood educator and calls herself an "accidental actress." Um, yay for an amazing accident!

In this episode, we get to the heart of Karen's giant heart and her propensity to say "Yes!" to things that might seem scary or unknown - knowing that, no matter what, when you try new things and remain curious, you also gather stories, experience, and learn new skills.

How wonderful life is while people like Karen are in the world. We know you'll enjoy this conversation as much as we did!

How we present ourselves to the world is wrapped up in everything we do, share, and try. What we're known for, how we look, our social media profiles, and the groups we're a part of - all equal up to a vision of who we think we are and would like to be perceived. The fun thing about who we think we are is that we often believe ourselves to be who others see us as. Wild, right? In this episode, we work through different ways of presenting who you are on stage, whether you're an artist performing music or a keynote speaker speaking to a corporate crowd. From how to hold your body to where your line of vision should be to the basics of proper preparation preventing poor performance - we've got you. Grab your morning cuppa Joe, buckle up, and take notes! This is Presenting You.

Perlina Lau is one of the kindest, funniest, and most talented storytellers on the planet.

In this episode, we take a bite out of how Perlina has built a successful career in media, television, film, radio, and beyond. We also ask the deep questions around representation, creating safe spaces for truly authentic storytelling, and talk a little bit of shit along the way because why the heck not!? Sit down, grab a snack or a quad-shot latte, and enjoy this conversation with Perlina. We sure did! Follow us on Instagram and share your engaged, kind feedback with us both!
