FOODIE TEST! I love feeding my friends. But before I indulge them, unfortunately, they need to do my Ultimate Foodie Challenge first. What’s a #FOODIETEST?

MARKETING HEAD. Most Challenging Moment: I always prided myself for my resilience. Despite being quite a sensitive soul, I was quite adept at navigating around problems and overcoming obstacles in both my personal and professional life.

MAN ON PURPOSE CO-FOUNDER / REAL ESTATE AGENT. Most Challenging Moments: When I was in primary school. I was notoriously picked on by other kids for no reason at all, and I had no friends. I would spend my lunch time hiding away or I would hang with my sister who is a few years […]
SHORT-TERM ACCOMMODATION & HOLIDAY VILLA OWNER. Most Challenging Moment: I’ve had a few in the past, but it will probably be when I was raising my son (aged two then) as a single parent and he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We were living on Kangaroo Island and we were airlifted to Adelaide to […]
Artist. Most Challenging Moment: Being a teenager was pretty rough. Earlier this year, I went through a period of strong agoraphobia (fear of places and situations that might cause panic, helplessness, or embarrassment). The only way to get out of this state is to start going out, but it’s also the hardest thing for me […]
