Offline, The Podcast: Honest Conversations About True Self

Host Alison Rice closes season two with an episode dedicated to Offline’s beautiful and nourishing community. She put a call out for questions on Instagram, and answered 14 across topics including true self, spirituality and personal development.   From how to trust we’re on the right path, to dealing with self doubt, her advice to women changing careers after 30, the biggest lesson she learned after leaving her corporate publishing role and what her husband Tony thinks about her journey to better knowing herself, Alison recorded this in one take and without a script. It is imperfect but as always, it is honest.   MORE FROM OFFLINE AND ALISON RICE Become a student of Self Study If you’re interested in learning about True Self, conscious success and more, consider becoming a student of Self Study — a series of considered online courses.

For episode 28 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with TV host, women in STEM mentor, tech and gaming journalist, St. Vincent’s De Paul ambassador, mum and proud Wiradjuri woman, Rae Johnston. While she’s well-known and respected in the cosplay industry for playing Wonder Woman, Rae embodies the character in real life. Compassionate, strong and with an incredible sense of justice, she is a modern role model for women everywhere. In this episode, Rae shares unique and inspiring lessons taken from her humble beginnings — including what it was like to have $5 left each week after paying her bills and feeding her child as a 19 year-old mum; the disappointing and often-complex realities of being a woman working in gaming, tech and science; her reflections on the trauma she experienced as a young model trying to get her start; her advice to employers on how to attract and support Indigenous talent; and how proposing to her husband was less about challenging gender norms and more about deep love and respect. This conversation is longer than others, but every minute of it is compelling, educational and inspiring.   MORE FROM OFFLINE AND ALISON RICE Become a student of Self Study If you’re interested in learning about True Self, conscious success and more, consider becoming a student of Self Study — a series of considered online courses.

For episode 25 of Offline, host Alison Rice sat down with musician, model, ex-AFL player and ambassador for suicide prevention charity, U R OK, Tom Derickx. Offline exists as an exploration of self and as we journey deeper, it’s important to show both the light and the shade. For some, our sense of self is veiled by anxiety and for others, it’s the dark night of depression. In this episode and for the first time, Tom bravely shares the thing he’s held closest to him — his battle with both. Alison and Tom hope that for the people listening who are also caring for their mental health, or who are a support person or want to find out how to be one, that this honest conversation helps. Need help or just need to talk? - Call Lifeline on 13 11 14, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Someone will always pick up. You can also chat to someone online every night of the week. - Wonderful Tom has announced an ambassador role supporting suicide prevention charity U R OK.

[The Teachers] Offline exists as an exploration of self, and we can’t do that without exploring our sexual essence. For episode 24 of Offline, host Alison Rice sat down with leading Australian sexologist, coach, and host of Authentic Sex, Juliet Allen. In this very honest conversation, Juliet and Alison discuss everything from sex as a pathway to healing, the importance of polarity of sexual energies in the bedroom, how to use our sexual energy to attract what we want in life, why our cycle is sacred, how to ask for what we truly desire, porn vs. connected sex, and why it is time to redefine the word slut. Trigger warning: Some parts of this honest conversation are difficult and confronting — both the language we use and the topics we explore. This includes miscarriage and loss. Alison also advises not to have kids around for this one. - Juliet’s podcast, Authentic Sex - The Juliet Pleasure Wand   MORE FROM OFFLINE AND ALISON RICE Become a student of Self Study If you’re interested in learning about True Self, conscious success and more, consider becoming a student of Self Study — a series of considered online courses.
