Elle is an integrative counsellor, psychotherapist and yoga facilitator. She's been the healer for most of her adult life. When she was diagnosed with an eating disorder two years ago, she was shocked. It never occurred to her that her relationship with food was so toxic.
We delve deep into diet and wellness culture! What is it doing to us? How many of us don't even realise we have a bad relationship with food? How does the wellness industry contribute?

How does somebody go from cleaning bed pans and administering fluids to self publishing a cookbook with a penis glossary? Shannon Kelly-White is a rare, vulgar blemish in the cookbook world. Or, the world in general. She is arguably one of the funniest people on the internet and as I've now experienced, also in real life.
In this episode we chat all things self publishing, self worth and self deprecating humour. This episode is NOT one to be missed (but also, how dare you miss any episode).
If you've been living under a rock and don't know where to find Shannon you can follow her at @shannonskitchenaustralia or check out her website www.shannonkellywhite.com

On this week’s podcast I have a chat with the inspiring Danielle Reed, host of the Mummy Republic podcast. At her 20-week pregnancy scan, Dannii was told that something was wrong. An expecting parent’s worst nightmare became her reality. Her pregnancy, birth, delivery and the life of her baby was not going to be straightforward. Although she kept the details from the world, she shared her emotional journey with us. How do you deal with the anxiety that comes with a high-risk pregnancy? How do you navigate it? What’s involved? How do you stay sane?
We don’t get to choose what happens to us in this life, but we do get to choose how we react. Dannii and I talk about the emotions and feelings that surround a high-risk pregnancy.
What do you do when trauma strikes? How do you respond?
I’m beyond happy to announce that the beautiful Archer Fox made his way into the world on the 28th of February! To read about Archer’s condition you can check out Dannii’s Instagram at @mummyrepublic. And if you’re obsessed with the Please, Ask Mikki podcast then I guarantee you will feel the same about the Mummy Republic podcast!
Collaboration over competition, always. We’re just over here fixing eachothers crowns.

TRIGGER WARNING: For anybody who has been a victim of DFV
So far this year in Australia nine women have been murdered by a man they loved.
The statistics say that in Australia one woman a week is murdered by a man due to a domestic violence related incident.
So far we’ve lost nine women.
And we’re only seven weeks into the year.
Jackie Lachmund, CEO of Australia’s CEO Challenge joins me on the Please, Ask Mikki podcast to educate us on everything Domestic Family Violence. As a survivor herself, Jackie is so damn passionate about educating people about DFV. Australia’s CEO Challenge is a non-for-profit organisation that has been partnering with Australian businesses since 2001 to raise awareness, provide training and teach workplaces to recognise the signs of DFV and respond appropriately.
Jackie is an absolute wealth of knowledge. I finished recording this episode and just cried for an hour. This issue is so dear to so many women’s hearts. Most of us have lived in fear of the man we loved at one point in our lives. Something needs to be done.
You can check out all of the amazing things that Jackie and her organisation are doing at https://australiasceochallenge.org/
