My absolute favorite part of this podcasting journey has been the people I've met along the way, from other podcasters to people I've blindly approached about engaging with me on this platform. Nathy Gaffney and I met in a workshop and immediately connected, recognizing the performer and former party girl in each other, and the overlap doesn't end there. The evolution into self care and personal expansion is one that inevitably demands a certain level of self-examination, and hearty doses of humility and curiosity, to boot. Nathy's podcast, Suck it and See (https://open.spotify.com/show/78gwG6w88wtGkWRc1r0JxL?si=c1c352960d9f497e), is a raw and cheeky examination of her approach to life's lemons, and how to make refreshment from the sour and the sweet. In this discussion, we talk about the difference between stepping back and stepping away, the importance of having different coaches while you create your vision, and how to know when and how to mitigate your energetic output to maintain your fabulousness well beyond your club hopping days. Make sure to check her out, and feel free to join the conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/625330825260625/
Nathy Gaffney has had what can be politely termed a 'diverse portfolio career'. A professional actor and comedy/cabaret performer for over twenty years, she's also spent time working behind bars (and drinking in them), waiting on tables (and dancing on them), being a nightclub door bitch, barista and celebrity impersonator. These days she's traded treading the boards for the boardroom, working as a facilitator and executive coach with Phuel Australia where she still enjoys a captive audience - albeit minus the feathers and sequins. The Gap Year(s) is her first book, soon to be followed by The C Word - a personal development book focusing on female confidence. Nathy lives wedged between the city and the sea in Sydney's eastern suburbs, with her teenage son and adventure seeking partner.
