I love encouraging people to think about what they “can” do - rather than what they "can't", and on Sunday 15 January, 2023, I spoke with a couple of the best, when it comes to saying yes! 🤩

Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have been turning up at Ability Works Australia for almost 40 collective years, leading with their trademark examples of incredible work ethic, commitment and dedication to achieving everything they set their minds to.

I’ve had the honor of working with Ben and Laura Robinson for more than a year, and can say without hesitation, this dynamic duo has shown me so much about their personal brand of pride, determination, humility, love, care and gratitude. ❤️❤️

They joined me live at 94.1FM 3WBC to talk about what it feels like being Ben and Laura, not to mention, marriage, mental health, inclusive design, AFL, travel - also, their experience of how the world manages and responds to people living with a disability.

What does it feel like, being you, today?

Michael Ray was thrust into solo dad life at the tender age of 51, and (ironically) the experience opened his eyes to outdated gender expectations which ignited an unbridled passion to advocate for equality and change that includes everyone.

His commitment to parental fairness is fierce, as it is inspiring, and he challenges social narratives to serve our positively evolving communities.

During this show, I helped Michael unpack ideas around misinformed gender roles, when it comes to raising kids, and how societal value/support of ALL parents/carers is so important.

In his very spare time, Michael penned an award winning and widely recognised book “Who Knew?” It celebrates modern day dads, where he openly discusses issues of mental health and ideas for raising our next generation – in light of the wonderful diversity of contemporary families.

November 20th was INTERNATIONAL MEN'S DAY 😀 - and what better way to celebrate than honour one of our most talented and magnificent male mortals, Ken Lyons.

Ken joined me at the 94.1FM 3WBC studios, a place he's known so well for many, many years - special because it's where we met. In true Ken style, he told tales of his incredible 98 years and what it's felt like, being a man, for almost an entire century 💯💯💯

I'm incredibly fortunate to be loved by Ken, and many times, take for granted, his wisdom, enthusiasm and boundless energy. So, it was all hats off during this most special show, cherishing a man who truly has, and continues to make the world a better and more interesting place.

What does it feel like, being you today? and Remember, it really is OK to not be OK!! #mensmentalhealth #menshealthawareness #warveteran #menshealth #malesuicide #InternationalMensDay
