If there is one thing I am good at, it's talking! I've been in radio for over 20+ years and I am a professional voice artist. I've noticed, however, that no matter how busy we are [with kids, work, spouses, siblings, pets, hobbies] we are often searching for a 'friend on demand'... Someone who fits into our chaotic schedule. Someone we can engage with when it suits us!
Maybe this audio diary can be that... Leave comments and talk back won't you? Otherwise this is going to be just ME rambling about better days when Sex And The City and Friends was on our tv screens. Clearly I'm 40+ years old.
Heading off to Hawaii in 2 days and I'm SOOOOO excited!
Mind you, what has changed in international travel in the pandemic?
What pointers can you give?
In this podcast ep, I've shared my travel tips for comfort and ease...
I'm not an expert traveller, but done my fair share of travelling!
Let us know where you think in Hawaii we should visit, and what we should invest time and money on.
Travelling with a 10 year old son so be great to have a few fun things for him to see and do.
Somehow I think Pearl Harbour isn't going to be ALL THAT for him. haha.

RIP Olivia Newton John...
What a bloody shock that was this morning on Seven's Sunrise.
Koshie just blurted it out too. Natalie of course looked devastated [that's sarcasm as Natalie Baar doesn't appear to be able to cry, much like the Queen!]
My Sister and I grew up with ONJ on in the car, the house, and even our friend's cars and houses.
WHAT A LOSS.
Let's discuss!
Off to now also make a RIP OLIVIA playlist on SPOTIFY.
I'll add the link soon!

Do looks hold you back?
I’m headed off for a walk with the AirPods in (pretending to be on the phone to my mate as I record this). The funny thing is, it’s a bit like I AM talking to a friend on the phone. Just a one way conversation. Love to hear from you about how hair, weight etc holds you back. Also ozempic… have you had it? Got a script and shitting my pants. 👍🏼

Trailer - What is this about?
Just a little about what this podcast is about. It's raw, unscripted and unedited. An audio diary of sorts that maybe will fill up 10-20 mins of your day while you get about doing your jobs.
A bit about me...
I'm a radio announcer, voice artist and mother. I am 46 years old and live in Victoria, Australia.
I work from home and find myself feeling awfully lonely at times.
I used to live in the city, now the country, and whilst I've been here for the past 12 years, it has been a challenge.
My friends from the city have slowly faded. My friends from the country are always so busy with kids and sport...
My family are 2.5 hours away...
Come and hang out with me! Be my digital mate. We can have a few laughs. Discuss our lives.
I hope you find something in this for you...
Cheers
Andrea

Talking having only ONE child. The pros and cons!
Wow. I can sooooo talk! This is proof. People have said to me I could talk underwater, and I think this podcast is proving just that!
Listen along as I discuss what my experience of having ONE child has been like so far.
He's 10, and while a beautiful and caring boy, it can be a blessing and a curse having only one!
How many do you have? What is YOUR experience... I'd love to hear!
What topics does this bring up for you?
I brush over things like -
Being over 30 and having a baby
Unsettled babies and how they are hard
Kids who aren't super sporty
What should 10 year old boys be into these days?
Hot Wheels and Pokemon - when do you grow out of these things as a kid?
Guilt of trying to influence how your child will see the world
Being a boss - of a kid!
Kids learning to negotiate and fight with their parents

Hi From Your Friend On Demand
Hey Friend!
This is the first [I promise it will get better] episode of the 'Friend On Demand' Podcast.
The Podcast for busy 30 to 50-year-old women who simply don't have a lot of time to connect with their friends and NEED a bit of girl talk/time.
We have TV on demand, why not friends?
This is hopefully going to be something you try and get involved with too...
Comments are a great start! Please leave me one and let me know if this idea has ANY potential!
LOVE to hear from you.
Also, FOLLOW this podcast so you get notified when there is an episode released (but no pressure to listen to it then.. when you are ready!)
Socials will be coming soon so keep an eye out. :)

LOVE Andrea
