Conversations with Remarkable Women

A narrative between a Nic, a Monk and Marion, a Minister bringing alive the conversation about dying and death through the sharing of stories.

Never one to shy away from any conversation, this one has real magic in it. For so many reasons.

Marion is a retired Minister (and Momma of our very own Danielle Macleod). She’s also the remarkable woman who married Nic and her husband, around Nic’s Mum’s bedside and then carried out her funeral just days later.

In this opening conversation, this minister and our modern-day monk, share their own experiences and moving tales. Of the people they have met, lost and supported across the years and shine a light on just some of the stories we make up about dying, death, survivors guilt and grieving. And the impact on the dying experience for us all in a global pandemic.

This isn't a conversation about religion, it's a conversation between two human beings who know there's enormous healing to be had when we dive into the biggest conversation of all. Its packed with gems as always. Get ready for powerful insights and a lot of laughter too….

Pam had a big corporate life with all the trimmings. And a big fear of running out of money that was driving her to do more and more. She's also an adventurer, seeking experiences and new things and using her high flying job to support her in creating the lifestyle she wanted. But one day, a big change in her family required her to think differently. To consider a life of slowing down. Is that even possible for a true rebel? Join Danielle as she meets with Pam in her new home in France to hear what happened.
(Filmed prior to the global pandemic so no social distancing required!)

Madeleine Black has a big story to tell. Gang raped in her teens, she embarked on a long journey of recovery to become the inspirational speaker she is today.

There's something for us all in here.

Her way.

Kelly Herrick is a Contemporary Landscape Artist. Learning to own that title was a big deal. You see, Kelly has been a lot of amazing things in her life, but she never saw herself as an artist. Until one day she was.

Join Danielle and Kelly as they explore the mystery of creativity and creative pursuits, how to get beyond the Imposter that cripples us and what it means to BE the very thing you long for.

There's a creative spirit in all of us and Kelly knows just how critical it is that we all unlock it.

In this episode, Danielle is joined by Behavioural Scientist Dr Mairi Macleod as she shares some fascinating insight on the evolution of our brains and why women behave the way they do.

We talk about why we're biologically wired to put other women in their place AND why women create brilliant community together; what might be going on in the boardroom, and most brilliantly, what we can learn from the Bonobo primate community, where the females run the pack...

A fun episode with a whole bunch of fresh insights that just might have you thinking differently.

Let's be remarkable together!

It's astounding just how easy it is to reset the chemical balance in our bodies to give us more energy, vitality and confidence.

Join Danielle as she speaks with Claire Dale, co-author of award winning book, 'Physical Intelligence' and learn how you can change your chemistry in an instant.

Anj Handa has one of those stories that will blow you away. After watching the documentary, A Cruel Cut, she realised she wanted to do something to help eliminate Female Genital Mutilation in the world. So she started with one family who needed her help...

If you ever wanted a sense of what's possible when you simply ask and try and keep trying, this is a story of mission, achieving the impossible and simply showing up every day to make a difference.

And as always, it's packed with gems for every single one of us, whatever we're doing with our precious lives.
