Women of Wynnum Manly
Women of Wynnum Manly is a fortnightly podcast that dives into the stories behind the women who contribute to the proud sense of community that is a piece of paradise in Brisbane’s bayside. Allana has lived in Wynnum with her husband, dog, cat and (sometimes) granddog since 2016. She fell in love with the stunning sunrises, gets excited by a good bargain in the op shops, and enjoys the easy nature and friendliness of the local people. Feeling like the Wynnum area is in a transition stage, with an eclectic mix of old and new, Allana wants to dig deeper into the incredible women who are part of the community she loves. The Traditional Owners of the Wynnum Manly area are the Quandamooka People. They have lived on the lands and seas surrounding Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) for at least 21,000 years.

Episode 10 - Nicola from Inspire Athletics
My chat with Nicola Glasper was just how I imagined it to be - engaging and honest. Nic is the co-owner and operator of Inspire Athletics (www.inspireathletic.com.au), which is a Brisbane based company supporting triathletes of all levels. She also leads #move365, encouraging people to move every day. Nic is passionate about the tri community and the value in moving, knowing first-hand the benefits.
Nic shared her love of the Bayside, after deciding to move to live in Australia after just three days into a holiday in Brisbane 13 years ago. She is an avid contributor to the area and spoke openly about how moving helps her manage her mental health. I really appreciated Nic talking about her long-term experience with depression, emphasising how sometimes it is okay to not be okay.
If you want to learn more about someone who genuinely follows their dreams because life is there for living, listen to this chat.
