This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di sits down with self-proclaimed laughaholic, Tracy Bartram. A candid discussion that isn’t always so funny. Tracy shares insights into her childhood and how that shaped her, the rampant sexism she endured as she built her career in radio, television, comedy & music, and the pain & dysfunction she managed despite being in the public eye. Tracy is an open-book and a fabulous example of the commitment it takes to battle one’s demons and the rewards you can reap from putting in the hard yards. It’s a brave narrative about addiction, resilience and finding success. It’s a testament to the human spirit’s capacity for transformation.

Anna is an Australian artist based in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia who is successfully transitioning from a corporate career to the art world. When the realisation hit that the corporate vibe & motherhood didn’t align, she took a moment to reflect and reset. Out of that reflection and a series of subsequent light-bulb moments, Anna Lohe Art was born. Within a mere eighteen months, Anna’s works are already adorning walls in private collections in London, Barcelona, New York and in the Maldives. A fantastic story of backing yourself, embracing the support of those around you & just going for it. An inspiring story and a name in the art world to watch out for.
