Show Notes
Leigh Sheppard, from ED Registrar to GP Registrar. Leigh speaks openly in what I would label a vulnerable, brave conversation. Sharing personal information and speaking transparently about OCD, a disorder for which she strongly advocates. Leigh is driven in her pursuits to make a positive change in her area of healthcare interest. Leigh will be participating in the International OCD Foundation conference in San Francisco next month. With foundations underway, during our conversation you will hear first hand the project Leigh is working on which is said to change the community and most importantly, people’s lives.
If you would like to hear more about Leigh’s project or join the peer support network as a person living with OCD, support someone with OCD or are a clinician interested in getting involved, please contact Leigh via [email protected]

Before there was a positive pregnancy test, there were years of questions, appointments and uncertainty...
After a little break, I’m back behind the microphone to share a life update, reflect on Hey Hello being named WA Voice for Fitness 2026 at the WA Health & Fitness Awards, and introduce something I’ve wanted to record for a long time, my pregnancy journey series.
With more than a decade of experience in fashion design and product development, Jessie has built a career centred around creativity, innovation and bringing ideas to life. But beyond the titles and successful businesses is a story of backing yourself, taking risks, and turning simple observations into opportunities.
In this episode, I sit down with Tori Collins, Pilates instructor, to have a real and honest conversation around gut health, autoimmune challenges, body image, and the deeper connection between our body and mind.
In this episode, I sit down with Amie Rule — writer, practitioner, and advocate for those living with chronic pain and invisible illness. Amie shares her powerful story of growing up with health struggles, how she came to realise that her pain wasn’t just physical, and the deeper connection between trauma, emotional suppression, and the body.
