The Peaches Podcast

Our final episode of season three of the Peaches Poddy welcomes the truly enchanting Gillian Cosgriff - an award-winning musical comedian, actor, writer, composer and self-confessed pessimist. Tori sat down with Gill to find out exactly what it takes to be a part of a professional theatre ensemble - from the audition process, the grueling training and rehearsal schedules, performing the same show night after night and - when a global pandemic hits - to have your dream job torn away from you in a matter of moments. This episode will have you giggling non stop, and will also give you a newfound appreciation for the incredible service those who work in the arts provide for the general public. Tori and Gill also touch on the concept of 'body neutrality', and how finding a reason to stay strong and fit as an adult has evolved for them both. Psst! A big fan of Gill? WE ARE TOO! You can support her by checking out her latest comedy festival show: Actually, Good. Within this show, Gillian makes her long-awaited return to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (after three years starring in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), with her hilarious original songs, killer stand-up and a big book of things that are actually good. This is a show about stuff you like – all the little things that make the big hard things manageable - and pointing at the bits of the world that make you want to yell, “Oh WOW! Look at this! Isn’t it great?” OUR LOVELY GUEST: @gilliancosgriff LET'S GET PEACHY: Train with us online - peachespilates.com/peaches-online Train with us in studio - peachespilates.com/studios Follow us - @peachespilates, @toriclapham

In this truly informative and captivating episode, Tori sits down with Marika Day - Accredited Practicing Dietitian & Nutritionist - to address the orthorexic culture in our youth. If you've ever felt like your desire for 'clean eating' and exercise has gone from a healthy habit to downright obsessive, listen in. This episode may be triggering for those who have experienced eating disorders - Marika and Tori discuss how orthorexia can negatively impact almost every aspect of your life.  They touch on how made up food intolerances often mask restrictive or disordered eating patterns, health repercussions like hair loss, recurrent illness, extreme fatigue and a loss of menstrual cycles. Marika's approach to wellness is one that is both science backed and gentle. She encourages setting realistic goals, and to never trust health advice on instagram given by unqualified influencers who likely have genetics or smoke and mirrors to thank for the very image you're buying into!

The Peaches Poddy is BACK for Season 3. We kick things off with a classic B&T episode - where the girls discuss THE BREAKUP! In a world where women ticking off every box when it comes to work, family, health and home is not only celebrated, but often expected, things can start to feel overwhelming. We know there are many mothers out there who feel stretched so thin by their responsibilities in work and at home, that they can sometimes feel the joy being sucked from their days. Bec was one of those mamas.  The pressure of owning a company, and trying to stay accountable in a fast paced business as well as juggle the beautiful but demanding role of primary caregiver to her son Hunter was, in the end - not what she wanted. B chose to step down as a co-owner of Peaches, and continue her integral role within the company as Head Trainer - here's how we navigated this change with love, empathy, respect and friendship at the forefront of every discussion and ultimate decision.

This week on the poddy, Bec opens up about dealing with the breakdown of her parent's marriage. Being an 'older child' when your parents divorce can sometimes be more even difficult. B shares with Tori how witnessing her parents divorce, and playing the integral role of a buffer in her small family dynamic affected her.

This week on the poddy, we're talking all things RELATIONSHIPS. Tori and Bec asked our listeners what they wanted to hear about - and the overwhelming feedback was post partum sex! Plus keeping the spark alive in long term relationships, and crappy ex boyfriends from the past. Grab a vino and snuggle up on the couch - this episode is just like a chat with your bestie. No filter, TMI and lots of giggles!

This week on The Peaches Podcast, Bec shares her journey through the first 12 months of motherhood. Not all births are magical, and not every mum gets that instantaneous Hollywood moment of pure elation with their newborn. As Bec says, her 'birth story' began when she got home, and was well and truly into the flow of looking after her beautiful boy, Hunter. We are so thankful to Bec for normalising the wide array of feelings new mums can experience.  LET'S GET PEACHY: Train with us online - online.peachespilates.com Train with us in studio - peachespilates.com/studios Follow us - @peachespilates, @toriclapham, @becchidiac

This is Peta Friend's transition story. This episode explores an era when being gay was still illegal, and the conversation about being transgender was more than taboo - it didn’t happen. It was a 17 year journey for Peta to transition into the woman she is today, and we were so honoured to hear about the stages of her journey, her struggles of identity, the loneliness of figuring out her future on her own, family dynamics, and ultimately - healing both physically and emotionally. Peta is the inspiring founder behind Trans Pride Australia, designed to help the transgender and gender diverse community find recourses and connections - for both themselves and their friends and family. *Please be patient and gracious with us as we navigate through the evolving language around gender identity, and remember that this is Peta's story - not a blanket statement or interview about the multi-faceted realities of this subject.
