He’s been on TV shows, podcasts, talked at universities and schools. The episode was recorded online as he’s based in New York. We talked mental health, and how high suicide rates are for men, this stat isn’t just for America it’s also tragic in Australia with suicide killing more than 8 Aussies a day, 6 of which are men. We talked about fear and control. Pervis opens up about his own traumas that have shaped the man that he’s become today; trigger warning, he talks about being molested as a child and about losing his father to heroine.

55. Fearlessly Failing: Ash Brewer
Talk about having a bucket-list guest on. Ash Brewer is known as one of Australia’s sweethearts in television. She was known as Kate Ramsey for 5 years on our screens nightlight as part of the “Neighbours” family. That’s when we got to know each other, I worked at a local health food store in Melbourne and Ash use to come and visit. When she turned 22 she flew the coop and landed a dream job in LA as part of the cast of the iconic “Bold and the Beautiful” where she plays Ivy Forester for 4 years. Ash has such a huge hunger for realising her dreams. She talked about the audition process in LA and the determination ones needs to chase a dream. I found this episode really inspiring as someone who’s studying the craft of acting, she’s choosing not to take the safe option but to keep risking it for the big dreams. Which I absolutely love. Recently Ash returned toAustralia to join the cast of Home and Away and she ‘s now back in LA on the artists path. Ash has recently been in a movie staring Peter Dinklage (aka Tyrion Lannister for all you Game of Thrones fans). This podcast is for anyone with a creative dream. Ash will inspire you to fall in love with that dream and stop at nothing until you achieve it. Here’s to chasing dreams, thank you Ash Brewer for helping stoke mine.Big LoveLola xxFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberryAsh Brewer @_ashbrewer www.lolaberry.comwww.lolacoffee.coSee acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

53. Fearlessly Failing: Cartia Mallan
Cartia has been on my dream list to get on the pod or yonks. She lives on the Gold Coast so I planned on flying up to interview her but when the Victorian boarder went into lockdown that meant we had to find another way, so this episode was recorded online. To be honest it was just like one of our catch up phone calls. She’s such a wise spirit for such a young human in age. Carti opens up about career, fame, success, body image, anxiety and heartbreak. She’s a little Leo with a big heart and has always pushed me to chase the big dreams and follow my heart. I hope she does the same for you in this episode. Miss you loads Cart, thank you so much for taking the time to jump on this pod.Big LoveLola xxFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberryCartia Mallan @cartiamallanwww.lolaberry.comwww.lolacoffee.coSee acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Meet Harry, She’s not only the first guest of Season 5 and an absolute living legend but she’s become a good friend of mine. At the very start of iso the bosso and I relocated to Torquay and I’ve been lucky enough to really get to know Harry. She’s one of those rare souls who marches to the beat of their own drum. She’s written some stunning plant based books, had a successful shop, smoothie van and sells brilliant eco friendly and health conscious products online. You’ve probably seen me post about her “lazy bones loaf” which is now a staple in our household. She also makes a ripper blueberry muffin. Harry is the real deal, she’s super successful but not caught up by any of the bells and whistles that come with success. You will be inspired by her honesty and integrity.

50. Fearlessly Failing: Jess Hatzis-Walker
I hope everyone gets chance to meet someone like Jess. She’s not your typically bulldog entrepreneur. She’s gentle, kind, giving and super caring. She’s softly spoken and everything about her whole vibe is effortlessly natural (she’s one of those natural stunners too). She works so hard, long days, and doesn't stop but she doesn't come across as stressed for one second. Jess opened up about the highs and lows of business and how Frank Body grew into a huge global success but she also shared that she’s had other business ideas which have failed or products that they spent loads of money on creating that just didn’t fly. One thing Jess shared is her relationship its insomnia and anxiety and that even when she’s doing everything right it can still be a struggle. I love the way she spoke of acceptance and an openness about it as opposed to being shameful or hiding it. She said if she hasn’t has a good night sleep she’ll come into work and tell her team straight away so they can have an awareness and understanding. This girl is wise beyond her years and off the mics we talked about our own personal dreams, her eyes lit up, this is a human who knows how to chase whats truely in her heart.Big loveLola xFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberryJess Hatzis-Walker @jess_hatzisFrank Bod @frank_bod See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

49. Fearlessly Failing: Iain Sinclair
I’ll be honest with you, I was so nervous for this interview. From the moment I met Iain in an acting class last year I knew I wanted to interview him for this podcast. Iain is an award winning director, sought after acting teacher (i’m lucky enough to call him my teacher), dramaturg, story consultant and head of acting at 16th street actors studio and if that list wasn't impressive enough, he was the assistant director to Cate Blanchett when she was Artistic Director at Sydney Theatre Company. Even if you’re not into theatre or acting i promise you’ll gain something from this episode. Iain is passionate about human behaviour and his brain is incredible. We talk story theory; and after listening to this you won’t look at Harry Potter or Star Wars the same way again! Thank you Iain for taking the time to chat, it’s a total honour to have you on this podcast!Big loveLola xFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberrywww.16thstreet.com.au See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

48. Fearlessly Failing: Bonnie Anderson
This was dream interview because we got to record at Bonnie’s place which meant i got to hang out with her menagerie of animals. She has my all favourite time breed of dog “dogue de bordeaux” named Delilah, then add in two rescue kittens. It made for a lot of fun, i think you’ll hear them in the background other the interview. Bonnie is full of life; she’s passionate, has a ripper voice, ah she’s an actor and signer song writer too. Get this; when she was just 12 years old Bonnie not only competed in Australia’s Got Talent but she won! This girl was literally a child protege. Nowadays you can watched of Neighbours, she plays a character called Bea Nilsson. And on top of this she’s pretty consistently recording and releasing music. In fact i she just recorded the theme song from Neighbours. She’s unstoppable and she’s only 25 years old! If you want some creative inspiration this podcast is for you! Enjoy the vibrant Bonnie Anderson! Big loveLola xFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberryBonnie Anderson @bonnieandersonmusicSee acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

She’s been working in the music industry since she was 19 years old.She’s worked with likes of Jeff Buckley, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Fleetwood Mac and the infamous Prince.

46. Fearlessly Failing: Confronting Crisis
This isn’t your usual podcast episode. On Sunday, we decided to pull our scheduled Monday episode with Jennifer Fontaine out of respect of what’s going on in America and in support of George Floyd. Jen lives in LA where currently there are riots, looting, protests, curfew and where the injustice of marginalised people has reached a boiling point. Jen bravely offered to speak to the current heartbreaking crisis in America. I am by no means an expert on this topic, I understand that I will never understand. This conversation is raw, it’s honest and it’s confronting. I believe that hatred and fear will never win. Change must happen. Stand up. Speak up. #blacklivesmatterBig loveLola xFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberryJennifer Fontaine @jenniferfontaine See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

41. Fearlessly Failing: Max May
You’ll hear me fan girl in the episode. Max is awesome. I discovered pretty early in the podcast that he’s a Capricorn which explains a lot. First of all he’s an earth sign (which I love), grounded, no BS and hard working. His brain is practical, he does the work, and doesn’t get hung up on a dream or false reality. He said “I’m only as good as my last job” and admits to being extremely hard on himself. It’s a testament to his success and growth in the industry not only as a makeup artist but as his own brand.Max talks a lot about his craft, and he’s had no formal training but was always a painter and drawer and had studied photography so he had a natural eye for it. As you listen to him, he describes makeup more as art than anything else, he describes a women’s face as his canvas and loves working with strong women. Max May was an absolute pleasure to sit down and chat with, he’s open, direct and has a sense of clarity about him. Enjoy the wonderful Max May and if you’re keen to learn more about his blog which is full of beauty tips and tutorials here’s the link https://maxmade.com.au/Lola xFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberryMax May @maxmadeSee acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

40. Fearlessly Failing: Rachael Finch
Rachael Finch in one word is kindness. She radiates the moment she steps into the room. I’ve ben lucky enough to know Rach for about 5 years or so now, and she’s always been the same. So lovely, kind, welcoming and light. She’s such a go getting, and her plate is full with 2 (super cute) bambinos Violet and Dom, she’s a wife, model, TV presenting, ambassador for huge brands like Myer and she owns and runs her own companies: Kissed earth collagen, KYND scents, BOD active wear, and the health and wellness program bodybyfinch. How on earth does she do it? Well she credited her team mate in life, her husband Michael whom she met on the set of dancing with the stars. We get a little glimpse into the romance too as she shares their first dates and how they fell in love. Rach also opened up about her own battles with self-doubt, self worth, self confidence and second guessing herself. It was so refreshing to hear this powerhouse of a woman say she still has moments when she questions and doubts herself. She’s human and so passionate about growing and her own personal development journey. Rachael Finch was was an honour to sit down and chat with you. And when I got back to my hotel room later that day there was a little pressie waiting for me; she’d stocked me up with my favourite Kissed Earth collagen powder. Like I said, in a word Rach is KINDNESS.

37. Mindfulness Fridays - Gratitude
Now more than ever, it could possibly be the hardest but most important time to tap into positivity, happiness and gratitude. Jad explains how psychologically our brains are hard wired to focus on the negative. And we have to help train the mind to focus and notice the positives with an attitude of acceptance. This is a really interesting conversation. At the end Jad will take us through a guided meditation about passion. I don’t know about you, but more than ever I need this. We recorded this whole series back in Feb and to think this episode is coming out today in this climate, Jad you will be helping not only me but so many others i can feel it. We have recorded 6 mindfulness Friday episodes so please go back and check them out, each one covers a different topic like stress and anxiety, lost or feeling stuck, body image and grief. Each one has a meditation at the end, everything is free so you can go back and listen to these mediations as often as you’d like.Big LoveLola xFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberryJad - @jadpatricknaturopathy See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

35. Mindfulness Fridays - Lost & Stuck
In this episode we talk about one of my insecurities, and i don’t like the feeling of being stuck at all. Jad talks about the power of taking action; we often wait for something to be different or change. He also explains that we innately want to work towards feeling good. So chasing your dreams will make you feel for filled and happy. It’s a fear and self doubt that can get in the way. This meditation is awesome, it might sound a bit confronting at first, its called a “deathbed” meditation and and it really helps to put things into perspective. Enjoy this inspiring chat and meditation at the end.Big LoveLola xFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberryJad - @jadpatricknaturopathy See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week’s episode tackles something we’ve all felt with in one way or another, heartbreak and grief. Now let’s be honest here, when you’re in it, that sense of loss and letting go of love - its often overwhelming and can be hard to see through to the other side of things.

31. Mindfulness Fridays - Body Image
This topic is dear to my heart. I have always believed that all body image and weight loss stuff starts i the mind. I think we’re our own harshest critic, and having battled with eating disorders and body dysmorphia over the years i was really excited to get stuck into this topic. To be completely honest with you, had wasn’t so pumped about this one because neither of us are qualified therapists that specialise in discorded eating. And i want to say it here, none of our advice should replace that of a trained professional. In this episode we spoke about addictions, negative self talk and being conscious. Trigger warning, i also shared some of my own personal battles in this episode. At the end of our chat Jad will guide us through a “self compassion breath” exercise. I cant believe we’re half way through this 6 part meditation series! If you want to listen back to the the other episodes; Jad shares so much of his incredible brain with us; the first episode is really an introduction into mindfulness and meditation. The second episode explores anxiety and stress. Next week we’ll be talking to heartbreak and grief.

28. Fearlessly Failing: Eoin Finn
I had so much fun interviewing Eoin and to be honest i could have talked to him all day long!! We recorded this podcast in Sydney when we were both in town for Wanderlust Festival. This guy is a yogi, surfer, environmentalist (specifically he’s an ocean activist), creator of blissology yoga which is a global yogi brand. Eoin is passionate about bringing spirituality down to earth and reclaiming quiet time in nature - the greatest spiritual portal. I have to say agree with him, think about it, getting out into nature changes everything, you reconnection just with your own heart but the heartbeat of the planet. It quickly puts things into perspective.Eloin opens up about his past failures and his super successful corporate life but how it was misaligned to the calling of his spiritual compass. This Vancouver born yogi has a really cool philosophy on life, he even runs yogi retreats where part of the experience is “eco-karma” where you’ve back to the environment, like helping to rebuild coral reefs. Here’s a link to the cool stuff Eoin does through Blissology https://blissology.com/We talked all things ocean and we end up talking about surfing and marine life. I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as i did hanging out with this super calm,spiritual, surfer, yogi environmentalist.

15. Fearlessly Failing: Jess Sepel
I’m rapt to have Jess Sepel on the poddy this week; because although we’re in the same world and have similar jobs in many ways we never ever cross paths. I don’t think id seen Jess in the flesh for about a year and half! She’s one of Australia’s leading nutritionists. Such such a go getter, when her own app, vitamin range (I’m currently taking the fish oil daily and loving it – you can order it here https://jshealthvitamins.com/) and 3 best selling books which you can check out here https://jshealthvitamins.com/collections/booksOne thing I really love about Jess is that she has pioneered the UNDIET movement, she has inspired thousands of people all over the world to give up the diet fads and focus on a balanced lifestyle. Jess is also really passionate about building a healthy relationship with your body and food, by advocating moderation, mindfulness and a healthy body image. In this podcast Jess was super open and very honest, she talks about business setbacks and how she never expected the vitamins range to explode the way it has. Jess literally thought she’d just end up with her own huge personal stack of vitamins because nobody would buy them, but the exact opposite happened. I will say this; for someone so successful Jess doesn’t have an ego at all, she just goes about her day, business as usual, and I love that!Trigger warning: Jess shared about her best mate committing suicide and how the trauma of losing someone she loves has effected her. She’s very open about her own battle with anxiety and depression. And as a follower and fan of Jess’ I find it so refreshing to hear how she uses orthodox medication to help her overcome anxiety. Now anxiety, depression and mental health effect more than we know so it’s pretty incredible that Jess is so open about her own experience, she’s helping to shine a light on mental health.Big LoveLola xFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberry& Jess Sepel: @jshealth@jshealthvitamins@jshealthappAnd don't forget to Subscribe!See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I was really looking forward to interviewing Lisa as i’ve been a fan of her See Want Shop blog for years! You can check it out here http://seewantshop.com.au/I had no idea that it all just started from her being away and wanting to share her travels with her family back home. What I loved learning from Lisa is that all of her growth and success has been organic. She’s continuously marching to the beat of her own drum and her goal is to “install a spark of inspiration into your day, everyday.” Lisa is a qualified and was practicing physiotherapist, but since the success of See Want Shop her influencer and blogger life has become a full-time commitment. Lisa opens up about the darker side of social media and during our interview, she reads some pretty horrible messages from trolls which led her to seeking the help of police. I hope you enjoy this sit down with Lisa, she writes for the “every girl” and is super relatable. Enjoy miss Lisa Hamilton.

9. Fearlessly Failing: Leisel Jones
Meet chicken, aka Leisel Jones.I’m so rapt to have her on the podcast, we’ve been mates for about 10 years now. When we both lived in Sydney we used to take each other to work events, i loved it because she’s so down to earth and real, we’d have a laugh at some of the “fake dingos” as i’d call them.Best of all she wouldn’t judge me when i’d need to walk barefoot in and out of events (i’m horrible in high heels).She’s a breath of fresh air, so real and open about everything. Leisel qualified for the Australian Olympic swim team at the age of 14, she’s competed in 4 olympics where she set multiple world records and she’s taken home 9 olympic medals for Australia. She’s got an autobiography called Body Lengths which i cannot speak highly enough of, pop it on your Christmas reading list - put simply it is mind blowing, she opens up about not just the highs but also her darker times.These darker times we explore in the podcast, trigger warning we discuss suicide and depression. Leisel is honest about things that make her feel happy and what she does to deal with the dark moments when they arise. She even says taking breaks from social media is a key element to supporting her mental health. Leisel has always been a very close friend and solid rock (and fellow virgo) in my life. In fact as i write this blurb i’m sitting at the retreat Gaia in Byron Bay hinterland, where i also come here with Leisel a few years ago.This is a friend i hope i have for life because she’s just one of the real souls that are pretty rare. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as i did chatting with the awesome Leisel Jones (chicken).Big LoveLola xFollow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberry& Leisel Jones: @leisel_joneswww.lolaberry.comAnd don't forget to Subscribe!See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
