The Tough Cookie PodcastBreaking the mould - heart recipient MirandaMiranda has always impressed me, and is absolutely a tough cookie. I could not even begin to imagine how difficult it would be being worked up and waiting for a heart transplant whilst also waiting for your Son to be born through egg donation and surrogacy, and the possibility that you may not meet him at all - that right there is strength. For Miranda though, her strength stretched even further when she came out as gay just a few years ago - something that allowed her to feel free and identify as her true self - something many people...2020-08-0600 minThe Tough Cookie PodcastStaying sexy and sassy when you're sick - lung recipient LaurenLauren is such a delight to speak with - her honesty, sense humour and openness to speak about anything make chatting with her and connecting so easy. I've been lucky to chat with Lauren on a number of occasions, and she's never been one to shy away from giving her perspective on any topic, whether that be being scared of COVID-19 and the impact that it could have on her life, or the somewhat boring stuff that we all go through as transplant recipients - it's always delivered with the same, witty, sparkly personality...2020-07-3000 minThe Tough Cookie PodcastEye injections, sleeping for Australia and the "Rally for Ali" a tale of double organ transplantationAli's story was the one that hit closest to home for me, and made me cry the most. Hearing a story so similar to my own and being able to identify certain moments in Ali's life that truly mirrored my own was confronting, but equally comforting - it made me feel as though if never walked my journey alone, I just hadn't met my fellow travellers.
I'm so grateful to Ali for sharing her story - like all of our guests, she's a tough cookie, and if Ali's...2020-07-2300 minThe Tough Cookie PodcastA donor family perspective - resilience in the worst moment of your life with VeroniqueAs Veronique and I both discuss in this podcast, we wouldn't have chosen organ donation to be the way that our paths crossed, but we are grateful that they crossed nonetheless.
Veronique's story never fails to move me - to lose the person whom you love dearly is devastating, but to also not have acknowledgement as that person's life partner would be absolutely heartbreaking, and something that many would not even think twice about - I know this because I heard a lot of feedback that was given when I attended a speech that...2020-07-1600 minThe Tough Cookie PodcastHow not to sweat the small stuff with bone marrow recipient LuciI met Luci late last year as part of The sweetest Gifts pop-up dessert restaurant, and was blown away by her story back then. Little did I know how truly incredible her story was, and the resilience that she had shown in the face of all that she's been through.
Luci really showed the benefit of having a great support network - both friends and family, in times of great difficulty, as well as the importance of mental fitness - Luci's decision to seek professional help early in her diagnosis really put her in the best...2020-07-0900 minThe Tough Cookie PodcastShowing gratitude everyday with heart recipient Jayden CumminsHaving lived a life where illness always sat in the periphery, I couldn't imagine how difficult Jayden's initial diagnosis was - going from a single dad working in an industry that he loved and dreaming of purchasing a boat to bed-ridden, having an artificial heart and hoping he'd wake up each day. The positivity and gratitude that exudes from Jayden is truly contagious, and it has taken him far.
One of the biggest lessons that hearing Jayden's story has taught me is to not take your health for granted, and to not...2020-07-0200 minThe Tough Cookie PodcastWhat a Tough Cookie looks likeIn this episode, The Tough Cookie host Patricia Scheetz talks about what to expect from this podcast, as well as a little about herself and her story.
Patricia is a double organ (kidney and pancreas) transplant recipient, and has been called a tough cookie many times in her life. Patricia founded charity The Sweetest Gift in 2017 to support fellow transplant recipients and people with chronic illnesses.

So when I was thinking about my guests for this podcast, I couldn't think of a better first guest.
Rachelles story is absolutely amazing and sadly, not an isolated one. Approximately 1000 women under 40 get diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia each year. These women have to fight to have their voices heard and their condition given the diagnosis it needs and the support that is required to help get them through.
That's what So Brave is here to do...2020-06-0900 minThe Tough Cookie PodcastDouble lung recipient turns focus to running marathons with Kristen WillhougbyKristen's journey is absolutely amazing - from being unable to get through her house and requiring a chair in the middle of a room so that she could rest, to running a casual 65 miles (that's almost 105 kilometres!) during the month of May to raise awareness of cystic fibrosis, the condition that Kristen battled since birth.

The Business of Baking PodcastLessons From a Challenging 2018I've really had an unbelievable season of podcast episodes this year! I've done my best, given it a proper run, and I've loved it, but like all good things, it has come to an end. Today's episode is the very last episode of this season. I did some awesome solo episodes this year, where I talked about all sorts of things, like the worst advice I ever got, strategies for mental health, and getting through the rough stuff in life. I also had some amazingly unbelievable episodes where I interviewed some incredible people, like Laurel Harlan. I s...2018-12-0338 min
Unbox Your Gift: Passion to Profession PodcastYou can't hold down a job?What happens when you can't hold a job down because you have MAJOR health challenges since birth?
Patricia Scheetz is a double organ transplant recipient and her story is the definition of taking a passion and turning it into a profession to fit into a desired lifestyle.
She went on a reality tv program to test her passion (that's courage), and even though she's had very scary challenges, she could easily (and be justified) to curl up into a ball and isolate herself...
BUT instead she's truly defied numerous odds (death and doctors), found HER meaning , mixed it with an...2018-05-1527 minThe Business of Baking PodcastThe Sweetest Gift with Patricia ScheetzHow do you really feel about money? Are you charging enough for what you do, or is there something that's holding you back? Lately, I've been talking a lot about money and women and about the concept that many of us don't want to charge properly for the work that we do. I think this is because we tend to feel that there is a negative emotional attachment to money and we don't want people thinking that we're greedy, so we feel really bad for charging. This is why I think that we really need to start thinking about...2018-04-3054 min
