The Long Game with Julie Smerdon
Julie Smerdon has spent nearly three decades helping people stay grounded through the hardest moments of their lives. As a facilitator, writer, and speaker, she's sat with corporate leaders, elite athletes, creatives and everyday humans navigating change, loss, reinvention. Now she's bringing those conversations to the table. The Long Game is a monthly interview with people who have been through the fire and come out different. Real stories about the hard stuff, and the unexpected beauty that sometimes emerges from it.

I first met Claudia Perkins when she came to Brisbane to join one of the first yoga Immersions I taught in Australia.
Since we first met, Claudia left a big job as an advisor to Julia Gillard, married her love Adam Bandt (head of the Greens party here in Australia), and gave birth to two daughters, in addition to teaching yoga in Melbourne. She’s now studying to be a nurse!
We have a great discussion that covers everything from the changing face of yoga to life as a political wife, to the power of rest. She is articulate and intelligent and has a heart of quiet service that is deeply inspiring. I’m so pleased to be able to share this talk with you!
