SLP 484: The Secret Sauce is to Get Up a...

THE WELLNESS COUCH
About this episode

‘I am blessed – some people would say it’s optimism – but it’s in my bones. I am an optimistic person. I am without doubt someone who always thinks everything will be ok. I don’t even have to tell myself everything will be ok – I just know things will work out. You’re going to get up tomorrow, you’re going to have another go and it’s going to be a little bit better… everything will pass. I heard Lisa Rowe say that this too will pass and I believe that with all of my heart, you’ve just got to get up and keep going, so that’s my secret sauce, just get up and do it and it will work out. My other secret sauce I think is marry someone who is a really good cheerleader but doesn’t boss you around!’ ~ Caroline Hutchinson

This week, we are honoured to sit down with the incredible Caroline Hutchinson – a truly loved legend on the Sunshine Coast.

With over 26 years as a beloved radio announcer and journalist, Caroline has hosted more than 5,000 breakfast shows on 92.7 MIX FM, becoming a trusted voice and companion for generations of listeners. Her passion for community and heartfelt communication shines through in everything she does – especially in her leadership of the Give Me 5 for Kids campaign, which raised an extraordinary $8 million for local children’s health services.

In this heartfelt episode, we dive into love, life, setbacks, resilience, and the power of always leading with your heart. Caroline’s warmth, wisdom, and authenticity will leave you inspired to keep showing up – no matter what life throws your way.

Tune in, be inspired and uplifted with one of the nation’s true gems.

Her definition of Self Love has changed so much over the years but as I got older I got much better at saying no and reminding myself that no one really needs me. Don’t kid yourself that someone needs you. And I listen to my millennial daughters!

Her favourite quote is: Sell your heart not the hustle.

Quotes: I am a country kid, born and bred in a tiny backwater town called Margaret River. A loving home is the secret to many things. MixFM and the Sunshine Coast saved my life. Like a marriage a good relationship is a decision. It was my job to sound happy on the radio, being happy is a gift for me. The only path to finding family is being family. It is part of my job to show up for others. It’s in my bones – I know things will work out – and all things will pass. Get up and just do it. I think sometimes relationships are for a season. I am not a Pollyanna I am pretty realistic, and I think that’s being a certain age. It was a really clear line in the sand for me and that was turning 50. I gave myself permission to not give a shit how big my arse is. I hear the invisible thing all the time and I just don’t feel it. As I have got older I have got much better at saying no. Your daughters grow older and question what you put up with? Being a grandmother is parenting your own child but with more time. We talk about the 3 pillars that underline your business. I love seeing the tangible affect this business has on other businesses. They don’t know what they don’t know, and we show people who they are. Make the world better one workplace at a time. I adore AI and I understand the fear, but it is the most brilliant tool for me. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Sell your heart not the hustle. Be happy with what you’ve got, be grateful. Believe in the people around you.
