In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Lisa Millar — award-winning ABC journalist and host of Muster Dogs. From growing up in a small Queensland town to covering terror attacks across Europe, Lisa shared the sliding door moments that have shaped her career, including a decade-long fear of flying that almost stopped her from chasing her childhood dream.

We talked about saying yes (even when it’s scary), the power of reframing tough experiences, and why her rural upbringing has been one of her greatest assets. There were also triathlons, pelicans, and — in a moment of pure magic — a seal sighting mid-interview.

Lisa’s story is one of grit, joy and deep empathy. This conversation left me inspired, and I know it’ll do the same for you.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as I take a seat with Lisa Millar
