  • Corporate Wellness Part 4: Sleep Hygiene, Meditation & Team Wellness ROI
    Dec 7 2025

    In this episode of Plant Grow Reap, Ruth Kent, Founder and Director of Sunrise Well, sits down with P&C Adviser and yoga teacher Jasmin Marotta to explore practical, meaningful ways workplaces can support genuine team wellbeing.

    With Victoria introducing new Occupational Health and Safety (Psychological Health) Regulations from 1 December 2025, employers will soon be required to identify, assess and control psychosocial hazards with the same rigour as physical risks. But Ruth and Jasmin go beyond the legal requirements — they examine how a more holistic, preventative approach to wellness can create immediate benefits for individuals while also delivering long-term cultural and financial returns for organisations.

    From sleep hygiene and meditation to leadership responsibility and the real ROI of wellness programs, this conversation offers an insightful look at what supporting teams truly requires in today’s evolving workplace landscape.

  • Engaging Young People Through Community & Creativity
    Oct 12 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Jayne Clarke, community wellbeing specialist and CEO & founder of Imagine Re-Evolution — a charity dedicated to building strong, resilient communities and supporting disengaged and disadvantaged young people.

    Imagine Re-Evolution empowers young people through creativity, bringing them together to design and make craft products that are then sold at local community markets. In doing so, it promotes entrepreneurship, a circular economy, and sustainability - while giving young people a sense of purpose and achievement.

    Jayne shares her belief that love and connection are the true antidotes to disengagement, and how offering a free, safe space for young people to come, create, and simply “just be” can have life-changing impacts. This conversation explores the power of creativity, community, and compassion in shaping brighter futures.

  • Why You Shouldn’t Trust #TaxTok: The Dangers of Online Financial Advice
    Sep 14 2025

    Finfluencers are everywhere — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit — offering quick “tax hacks” and confident advice. But should you really be making financial decisions based on a viral video? In this episode of Plant Grow Reap, Chelsea unpacks why social media tips (and even AI tools) can be risky when it comes to tax and compliance.

    From handbags-as-laptop-bags to “guard dog” deductions, we explore real-life examples flagged by the ATO, the legal and financial consequences of getting it wrong, and why context is everything. You’ll also learn how to filter online advice, spot red flags, and know when it’s time to call in a qualified professional.

    Because when it comes to your livelihood, trending content isn’t a substitute for tailored, expert advice.
