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.

Season 4, Episode 3 - Kylie Madge
I met Kylie Madge at the Wynnum Manly Community Awards in 2024 and knew that having a long form conversation with her would be fascinating. She is a yoga teacher, life coach and spiritual mentor and the conversation we had didn't disappoint! Kylie is a life-long Wynnum-nite and sharing her story about how she transitioned from the corporate world to assisting people in life to navigate their emotions, choices and reactions to experience a more peaceful and fulfilled life was fascinating. Talking about being a curious person, I formed the impression that she has always had a strong sense of self awareness and at times made insightful decisions that defied her age. I appreciated the calmness that Kylie brought to our experience in recording the episode. Enjoy learning all about Kylie.
Due to some technical difficulties, I was unable to share a recording of an introduction to this episode, including an Acknowledgement of Country. The episode was recorded on beautiful Quandamooka Country, and I am grateful to be able to work, play and enjoy my life on this land.
