   Rebecca Jarvie-Gibbs - The Lessons I’m Taking From Series Two

   After thirty conversations about ambition, identity and what it means to define success for yourself, I wanted to turn the questions I’ve been asking my guests back on myself. In this final reflection on Series Two, I share some of the things these conversations have left me thinking about: our relationship with ambition, knowing when to push and when to let go, separating who we are from what we achieve, and accepting that what we want from our lives will continue to change. It’s also a reflection on a season that unfolded alongside some significant changes in my own life, and what they have taught me about grief, friendship, motherhood, work and what matters most.

   Cookbook author Elizabeth Hewson on Embracing Imperfection, the Ritual That Built A Career and the Power of Generosity

   This one is a very special one today - it is the final episode of Series Two, with the beautiful Elizabeth Hewson - marketer, food writer and cookbook author. Lizzie has built a career at the intersection of food, storytelling and genuine connection. She started out in PR, wrote her first cookbook at just 22, then packed her bags for a small town in Northern Italy to study food culture in the birthplace of the Slow Food movement. She returned to Australia to become the creative force behind Fink, helping build the profiles of some of the country’s most celebrated chefs, including Peter Gilmore and Lennox Hastie. And then, on a quiet Saturday night at home, she made a bowl of pasta that changed everything. Saturday Night Pasta began as a personal ritual. It became a movement, then a bestselling book, then a product range. And when we sat down together, her third book, Home Food - a cookbook for imperfect cooks - had just been released. In this conversation, we talk about the long game of a creative career, what it means to build authority in a space without being a chef, her relationship with anxiety, how cooking became her most reliable practice of presence, and the folder on her phone called Sunshine that she returns to whenever life feels heavy. Listening back now, that feels especially poignant. Since this episode was recorded, Lizzie and I have both experienced the devastating loss of our beautiful friend, James. Releasing this conversation without him here feels almost impossible. James was someone who championed the people he loved with his whole heart, and I was so looking forward to him hearing this conversation between two of his closest friends. So today, we’d like to dedicate this episode to our beautiful James. We love you. We miss you. And we’ll keep trying to make you proud.

   Creative Director Paulina Paige Ortega on Persistent Curiosity, Plurality and Collaboration Over Ego

   This week's guest is Paulina Paige Ortega - creative director, art director and founder of Actual Studio. Born in the Philippines, Paulina was staging elaborate Barbie photo shoots as a child that, looking back now, were her first foray into fashion editorials. She studied graphic design, began her career at one of the Philippines’ most awarded agencies, and eventually made the brave decision to start again in Australia. From working at the clothing store Incu, where she found the creative community that would shape her career, she went on to creative direct Par Femme and ELLE Australia, before founding Actuel Studio with her business partner, David Caon. And this week marks an incredibly special new chapter with the launch of PERSONA, created with her dear frriend Grace O'Neill. PERSONA is a portrait of the most interesting and captivating women of our time - singular and obsessive in its approach, with each issue dedicated entirely to one woman - the debut being the glorious Bella Freud. It’s a beautiful and ambitious idea, and one that feels so distinctly Paulina: considered, curious and underpinned by a strong point of view. In this conversation, we talk about building a creative practice rather than simply chasing a career, the role relationships play in shaping a creative life, and what becomes possible when you choose collaboration over ego. Paulina moves through the world with such grace and generosity, but beneath her gentleness is a formidable creative conviction. I’m so excited to be sharing this conversation in the very same week PERSONA makes its way into the world. Follow Paulina: @actual.studio @paulinapaige Hosted on Acast.
