The Peaches Podcast

We are so honored to welcome the final guest for season 4 of the Peaches Podcast - CEO at Domestic Violence NSW - Delia Donovan. In this episode, we sit down to discuss the alarmingly prevalent issue of coercive control and men's violence against women in Australia. Yes, we're no longer sugar coating it with labels like family violence or domestic violence. We're calling it what it is. Statistics tell us that every week, a woman is murdered by a man in Australia. The numbers are terrifying, and if a human being was killed weekly in our country by any other mode - say terrorism, a shark attack, a fucking faulty iphone that explodes - whatever, the country would be in complete uproar. Yet still, we as a society seem to struggle to address this issue without wanting to bury our heads in the sand, change the subject or not bother those around you with ‘heavy’ subjects of conversation. But we've had enough of that bullshit, and Tori wanted to facilitate a conversation about it within the Peaches networks.TW - this episode discusses violence and coercive control.

She is well-known for her bold, straight-to-the-point manner and for authentically sharing her own experience as a lover of all things sex, sensuality and business leadership. This podcast ep has been a long time in the makings - and we are so excited to take a deep dive into the intimate, complicated and ever evolving world that is sex and relationships. Today we are talking about WHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP NEEDS WERK. From growing apart to losing intimacy, the concept of a 'set and forget' relationship to pent up frustrations that are getting out of hand... We know a lot of our listeners are going to be able to resonate with this subject - so much so that Tori sourced half of her questions for Juliet from our insta audience.

Betsy Westcott is a financial Coach, Personal Finance Commentator and Executive, who believes everyone - but particularly women, deserves to live a financially free and secure life. Today we are here to talk (mainly) about money. From the gender wealth gap to privilege and background, financial abuse to financial wellbeing.... this episode is all about how we can better our relationship with money, so that it can enable us to live the lives we truly desire. It shouldn’t be a dirty word, and women shouldn’t shy away from the subject. Even in 2023, we’re still seeing women leaving the business of personal finances to their male counterparts in relationships - let's be a part of the change!

You might have heard the name Maz Compton over the years - that’s because Maz is a bit of an Aussie great when it comes to media - she’s been a personality in the space for over 12 years - with experience in radio, TV and online media. But what you might not know is that Maz battled with her relationship with booze… with regular drinks and parties stock standard in the media scene, drinking high volumes, often, was not only accepted but encouraged. Soon, Maz noticed that booze had become a coping mechanism for stress - before slowly creeping towards a dependence. If this sounds familiar, listen up Peachy, because this episode is for you. We love the way Maz isn’t afraid to ‘have the conversation’ around drinking - within Australia, it’s basically a glorified answer to everything from celebrations, stress relief, practically any social engagement and for many - is simply routine. But why is it that our ears prick up, and our irritations arise when a mate turns you down for a drink at the pub? Are our reactions to someone ‘going sober’ or even just ‘taking a break’ from the booze a little judgemental, and perhaps unhelpful? Especially when we remember that alcohol, whether we like it or not, is actually a toxin that screws with our sleep, moods, weight and overall health?

Tors and Bec are back with another episode - this time discussing BOUNDARIES. Appropriate boundaries can be life changing - but damn they can be hard to set! In this episode, Bec explains the positive effects boundaries have had on her mental health, and Tori admits it's a concept she's still working on. Personal limits and the ability to say no when it comes to work, friends, family, your social life, your wellness routine - where can you see them helping you?

Our final episode of season three of the Peaches Poddy welcomes the truly enchanting Gillian Cosgriff - an award-winning musical comedian, actor, writer, composer and self-confessed pessimist. Tori sat down with Gill to find out exactly what it takes to be a part of a professional theatre ensemble - from the audition process, the grueling training and rehearsal schedules, performing the same show night after night and - when a global pandemic hits - to have your dream job torn away from you in a matter of moments. This episode will have you giggling non stop, and will also give you a newfound appreciation for the incredible service those who work in the arts provide for the general public. Tori and Gill also touch on the concept of 'body neutrality', and how finding a reason to stay strong and fit as an adult has evolved for them both. Psst! A big fan of Gill? WE ARE TOO! You can support her by checking out her latest comedy festival show: Actually, Good. Within this show, Gillian makes her long-awaited return to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (after three years starring in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), with her hilarious original songs, killer stand-up and a big book of things that are actually good. This is a show about stuff you like – all the little things that make the big hard things manageable - and pointing at the bits of the world that make you want to yell, “Oh WOW! Look at this! Isn’t it great?” OUR LOVELY GUEST: @gilliancosgriff LET'S GET PEACHY: Train with us online - peachespilates.com/peaches-online Train with us in studio - peachespilates.com/studios Follow us - @peachespilates, @toriclapham

We are absolutely delighted to welcome our long term Peachy Fam member Alice onto the poddy in this very raw, intimate and touching episode. Tori recently asked Alice if she'd be open to sharing her experience on freezing her eggs - not only is the subject one that is relatable, it's oh so relevant! With friends and family all around her considering the same procedure, Tori thought it would be far more insightful - and helpful - if an episode based on freezing ya eggs was told first hand - not recounted from a doctor or reproductive health rep.  We thank Alice for sharing so bravely and beautifully in this ep - in true Peaches Style - no filter, and no details spared!

In this truly informative and captivating episode, Tori sits down with Marika Day - Accredited Practicing Dietitian & Nutritionist - to address the orthorexic culture in our youth. If you've ever felt like your desire for 'clean eating' and exercise has gone from a healthy habit to downright obsessive, listen in. This episode may be triggering for those who have experienced eating disorders - Marika and Tori discuss how orthorexia can negatively impact almost every aspect of your life.  They touch on how made up food intolerances often mask restrictive or disordered eating patterns, health repercussions like hair loss, recurrent illness, extreme fatigue and a loss of menstrual cycles. Marika's approach to wellness is one that is both science backed and gentle. She encourages setting realistic goals, and to never trust health advice on instagram given by unqualified influencers who likely have genetics or smoke and mirrors to thank for the very image you're buying into!

Paloma is the woman behind one of Sydney’s best salons - aptly named Paloma. She has a cult-like following and is a passionate advocate for climate change and first nations rights. This episode is a fantastic one for anyone looking to level up on their awareness when it comes to environmental issues - we discuss how to tackle conversations in this realm without judgment or patronisation. As well as conscious parenting techniques for children with behavioural issues, self aware leadership in business and so much more. The important takeaway? It's not ALL BAD NEWS when it comes to Mother Earth! Tori was intrigued and uplifted to hear that Australian hair salons actually play a pivotal role in helping to clean up oil spills in the ocean - using huge sausage like structures full of our humble hair trimmings. If you've ever needed an excuse to treat yourself to a chop and a style, you've found it! Clear some time in your day for a walk in nature and tune into this fascinating conversation with Paloma Garcia.
