Uninterrupted by Women's Health Australia

Here’s a not-so-fun stat that many of us may relate to: 69 per cent of women are currently stressed, according to a 2022 report by Liptember Foundation. That’s just one reason we’re excited about today’s podcast guest. Mind coach Poppy Delbridge is on a mission to help people ease stress and live their best, most joyful lives. As well as drawing on the likes of manifestation, she’s also an expert in tapping – a practice that involves physically tapping on certain areas of the body. You’ll hear more about that in this episode, and you can dig even deeper via Poppy’s new book ‘Tapping In: Manifest the life you want with the transformative power of tapping’. She even takes our managing editor Alex Davies through a short tapping exercise at the end of their chat.CREDITS: This podcast was hosted by WH managing editor Alex Davies and produced by WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin with additional sound editing by Jess Campbell.For more from Women’s Health Australia, find us on Instagram, visit our website or find the print and digital editions of the magazine.

Before interviewing Chris Hemsworth on the red carpet, making history as the first woman of Asian descent to be crowned Miss Universe Australia, or becoming a beauty ambassador for Swisse, Francesca Hung struggled with her identity. ⁠⁠For a long time, her mental health was affected by not feeling like she truly belonged, like she was in "no man's land" as she didn't look "typically Australian" while also being disconnected from her Asian heritage. It's a feeling many first-gen Aussies will relate to but one that's not often spoken about or the affect it's had on mental health. It's why she's sharing her story so openly. In this episode, Francesca talks about how she made peace with her identity, the impact of exercise (and cold showers) on her wellbeing and why true beauty and wellness comes from within.CREDITS: This podcast was hosted and produced by WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin with additional sound editing by Jess Campbell.For more from Women’s Health Australia, find us on Instagram, visit our website or find the print and digital editions of the magazine.

Explosive and heavy. That’s how comedian and podcaster Em Rusciano describes her period. But the thing that annoys her the most about it is that she didn’t feel like she had control of it until her mid-30s. Now, she tries to work with her cycle. She knows it isn’t something you just “plug up and go” and rather she gives herself permission to do less when it is “explosive and heavy”.In this episode, the Boody ambassador makes the case for talking about our periods more, her experience of diagnosed with ADHD and autism in her 40s, and why she’s unlearning the shame around both.CREDITS: This podcast was hosted and produced by WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin.For more from Women’s Health Australia, find us on Instagram, visit our website or find the print and digital editions of the magazine.

As one of the first trainers on Kayla Itsines’ Sweat app, and now with a 2.9 million following on Instagram, Kelsey Wells is making sure her message of empowerment reaches as many people as possible. She’s doing it via her Redefine Fitness: Strength and Mindfulness program on Sweat as well as a podcast by the same name. “Health is multifaceted. It’s emotional, mental, spiritual and physical,” she says. “We should look at our efforts in exercise and nutrition and how they play a role in our overall health and wellbeing. It is not about fad diets and quick fixes. That kind of rhetoric is tired as much as it is untrue. It’s time we stop using it.” In this episode, we revisit our chat with Kelsey from last year, on the importance of redefining the term ‘fitness’, why ditching the scales was important to her mental health but still allowed her to hit her goals, and how giving up and starting again is an important part of life.CREDITS: This podcast was hosted and produced by WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin.For more from Women’s Health Australia, find us on Instagram, visit our website or find the print and digital editions of the magazine.

Swimming has been Cate Campbell’s life since she was a young girl. So what happened when the four-time Olympian took a break from the sport? Well, it’s meant that she’s had time to speak up about important health issues, like period management and the nerve damage she endured from having a contraceptive implant removed. But having a break also allowed Cate to reignite her passion for swimming with her goal now to compete in her fifth Olympics.In this chat, the Avène skincare ambassador talks about her melanoma diagnosis and how getting her skin checked saved her life (and hopefully this is a reminder to get yours checked too!), she also chats about the impact of taking a break from sport, her ill-fated attempt at falling in love with running, and why her mantra is “be brave”.CREDITS: This podcast was hosted and produced by WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin.For more from Women’s Health Australia, find us on Instagram, visit our website or find the print and digital editions of the magazine.

Laura Henshaw is hitting the ground running in 2023. That’s why, says the co-founder and CEO of fitness and wellbeing platform KIC, it’s more important than ever to keep her cup full. What that looks like? Well, one thing Laura’s trying her best to do is something we could all probably do with a bit more of – easing the self-pressure to do things perfectly all of the time.It’s an outlook that extends to her wellbeing approach as much as her work at the helm of KIC, which saw her named a finalist in 2022’s Women Leading Tech Awards. In this chat with our managing editor Alex Davies, Laura – also a cover star on our new February issue – shares her movement non-negotiables, how she’s reframing imposter syndrome and a few mindset shifts to help you take on the coming year.CREDITS: This podcast was hosted by WH managing editor Alex Davies and produced by WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin with additional sound editing by Jess Campbell.For more from Women’s Health Australia, find us on Instagram, visit our website or find the print and digital editions of the magazine.

After spending years trying to live up to Hollywood’s standards of the perfect body, and even battling a year-long eating disorder when she was 17, Hilary Duff decided to shift her focus to getting strong.She admits in the January issue of Women’s Health Australia: “Because of my career path, I can’t help but be like, ‘I am on camera and actresses are skinny. It was horrifying.”But now, Hilary says she’s proud of her body. “[I’m] appreciating my health, doing activities that make me feel strong instead of just bettering the outside of my body. Spending time with people that make me feel good and share similar views on health and body positivity and getting enough sleep and balance in my diet.”One person who has helped her do exactly that is her personal trainer Dominic Leeder. In this episode, Leeder shares – in detail – how he helped Hilary Duff get into the best shape of her life and maintain it, so that you can too.CREDITS: This podcast was hosted and produced by WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin with additional sound editing by Abby Williams.For more from Women’s Health Australia, find us on Instagram, visit our website or find the print and digital editions of the magazine.
