The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show

My BIG question this week is 'Should you wait for someone to ask for help before you step in?' It's something I’ve been thinking about since RUOK day, and want to talk through with you, because being aware of what people around you are going through, and knowing what to do if you're worried about someone can be difficult. So in this episode I’m going to share with you my own personal journey with mental health, the importance of trusting your intuition, and what to do if you reach out and someone brushes you off. I don't want anyone to feel alone, so please reach out to someone to talk and if you don't feel comfortable doing that, remember lifeline is there 13 11 14 and Beyond Blue are also a fantastic resource.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Radio host ‘Ugly’ Phil O'Neil was the voice behind Australia’s number one radio show in the 90’s and early 2000’s. He hosted the Hot 30 Countdown with his then wife Jackie O, interviewing and partying with the world's biggest celebrities.  As you’ll learn in this episode, the Phil of today is a very different man compared to those wild and heady times.  He's recently married the love of his life, he’s very private and doesn't care for the celebrity side of things. And for the first time he talks with Jess about his multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis and how that has changed his life. Phil doesn't want anyone else to feel alone if they are going through a similar situation, so if you or a loved one are looking for support there is https://www.msaustralia.org.au/ which is an organisation that has helped him enormously and Overcoming MS https://overcomingms.org/   The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show acknowledges the Gadigal people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we recorded this podcast, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples here today.

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II is something that has really impacted me today.

My Big question this week is Do you lose your 'sexy' as you get older? It's something I want to talk about because losing our sensuality and sense of selves is something that can happen to women later in life, especially when we become mothers. But is it possible for us to manage all of our responsibilities as caregivers, and feel sexy at the same time? In this episode I’m going to talk about what it means to be ‘sexy’, how we can embrace sexy at any age, and the confronting moment I realised that I'd lost that sensual side of myself, and fallen out of tune with the essence of who I was.
