ME
AUTHENTICALLY
A CELEBRATION OF SELF
ABOUT THE EVENT
As our 1-year anniversary for HSWG approached, we thought what better way to celebrate than filling the halls of The Lussh with aligned souls who believe in our mission. We were thrilled to welcome not only over 100 guests but also two powerhouse speakers, Liv Phyland and Ellidy Pullin. It was an unforgettable night.
Under the theme of Authentically Me, we embraced open minds and open hearts, engaging in real and raw conversations while forging new connections. This night will forever hold a special place in our memories!
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the souls who attended and contributed to making the event a success. Without our wonderful guests, we couldn't have cultivated such a safe and welcoming space. Stay tuned for 2024 — we have some significant plans in store!
THE PRACTICE OF BEING
UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU
THE Event SPEAKERS
We could not think of two more empowered and authentic women who could have contributed so much at our HSWG event. Ellidy and Liv were an integral part of what was a transformative evening.
Liv Phyland
Whether she’s surfing, singing, sunrise-chasing, or dancing like there’s nobody watching, Television Presenter, life coach and entrepreneur Liv Phyland has energy to burn.
Liv has been TV presenting for over 11 years on ABC3 and Channel 10, but simultaneously, has always been deeply passionate about all things health and well-being. Liv's proudest achievement is combining her passion, studies in health, media platform and life lessons to build businesses that support and inspire others; Girls Who Glow empowerment workshops for teen girls and Liv Your Life coaching and retreats for women.
Her cheeky sense of humour and her genuine lust for life is addictive. She’ll be taking to the “Authentically Me” floor on Thursday 30 November to share some of her personal journey and impart strategies so you too can reconnect to your authentic self.
ELLIDY PULLIN
Brimming with life, Ellidy Pullin is a professional swimwear model, published author, podcast host, and solo mother after losing the love of her life, Olympian Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin, while they were trying for a baby.
Using pain as power to open conversations, Ellidy uses her podcast Darling, Shine!, (co-hosted with best friend Chloe Fisher) to keep her husband’s memory and legacy alive. She does so for those who knew and loved him, but most importantly for their little miracle, Minnie, conceived through sperm retrieval and IVF.
Ellidy aims to inspire others and normalise conversations around grief. Along with her and Chumpy’s family and friends, Ellidy has created the Chumpy Pullin Foundation, a charity that provides opportunities for disadvantaged athletes to follow their snowsports dreams. We’re thrilled to host Ellidy on Thursday 30 November in conversation with Grace: hear her speak from the heart and share some lessons learned as she reflects on what authenticity means to her.
the space
A beautifully renovated warehouse space, The Lussh is a rare combination of the old and the new. The statuesque, 100-year-old heritage-listed building includes exposed brick, 4-metre high ceilings and polished concrete floors. Dramatic black steel-framed glass doors open onto a private garden, nestled between a striking cliff face and lush date palms. The Lussh is your ultimate backdrop and creative space.
