Mia was on her couch drinking espresso martini’s. Taryn was in Canberra being announced as Australian of the Year.
What followed was an epic year for Taz and her team at The Embrace Collective including 90 odd flights, hundreds of keynotes and appearances, tens of thousands of fist bumps, 1 million children reached, and many millions more parents, teachers, coaches and leaders now better equipped to address the epidemic of body image distress in young people.

Get Shucked with The Oyster SistersHoliday BreakOne bright, sunny day in January, we three were enjoying brunch together following a delightful morning of boogie boarding. We left the cafe in our separate cars then, moments later, the planet seemed to stop rotating on its axis. Taryn spotted a nasty car crash, realised the crumpled car belonged to Mia, and jumped out of her moving car to be with her friend. Gemma received a call from Taz’s husband Tim, slammed on her brakes and raced to the scene. Police cars, fire engines and ambulances were called. Mia had sustained a serious spinal injury, and was ta...2024-06-1839 min
Get Shucked with The Oyster SistersPleasureWhat lights you up? Gives you the tingles of pleasure and juicy feelings of joy?
With so much gritty-shit going down in the world, we wondered if it'd be inappropriate to talk about this topic. As if it were forbidden. Self-indulgent. Tone-deaf. So we delayed releasing it!
Then, we realized; this is exactly the kind of guilt and shame-game that so many of us grew up playing with pleasure. All the more reason, amidst the heaviness, to shed some light on lightening our loads by investing in more play, and prioritizing pleasure.

Get Shucked with The Oyster SistersFreeballing into 24How many new year's past have you prescribed a set-in-stone plan for personal perfection that just ended up creating more pressure in your life?
If you’re anything like us, you’ll have had one too many of these, and really don’t relish the idea of another new year hangover!
In this episode, we’re aiming to intercept you on the well-worn pathway to wearing yourself down and out as the new year rolls around, by inviting you to join us “freeballing” into 2024.
Although we fail to actually define "freeballing" (make of that what you w...2024-01-0134 min
Get Shucked with The Oyster SistersMerry Do LessWhat does eyebrow and ear-hair plucking, pimple popping and Covid lock-downs have to do with Christmas?
Nothing really. But somehow our conversation wound its way there in this episode. If you want to know how we got there, you’ll just have to listen. It’ll be like receiving an unexpected surprise on Christmas morning!
In this episode, we get real about our compulsive tendencies for overdoing in the lead up to and at Christmas. We unwrap our grit about being so damn exhausted by the time the day rolls around that we’re unable to give ou...2023-12-0541 min
Get Shucked with The Oyster SistersBurnoutWhy do we drive ourselves beyond exhaustion and then wear it like a badge of honour? Ignore early-warning signs of depletion as if our bodies are machines?
In this episode, we wade into a conversation about burning out. Mia and Gem talk about the times they’ve been there, done way too much of that. Taz grapples with whether she has, and how she feels about labeling busy-ness.
Although one of us (i.e. Gemma) seems to have made a bit more progress on this front than the other two, we each reveal our wobbly bi...2023-11-0932 min
Get Shucked with The Oyster SistersPleasingHow many of us grew-up believing that our self-worth was tied up with pleasing others? Exhausting ourselves by being nice, toeing the line, and contorting ourselves so we never, ever hurt anyone else’s feelings. And to what end? We become depleted, disappointed and resentful.
In Episode 2 of The Oyster Sisters, we explore our wobbly bits around our experiences of FODO (the Fear Of Disappointing Others) and share some potent pearls of wisdom for dropping the pleasing and lifting our power for a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Get Shucked with The Oyster SistersIntroductionOur very first episode, in which we reveal how we became The Oyster Sisters, why we’re called the Oyster Sisters (despite Taryn’s hatred of the slithery, salty wetness of our namesake), and what this podcast is all about.
