In this heartfelt episode of Yarning Up, host Caroline Kell sits down for a rich and inspiring yarn with Megan Waters—media presenter, host of Yokayi, Nike ambassador, and proud Warumungu and Yawuru woman. Megan is also a passionate community advocate, deeply committed to amplifying First Nations voices and supporting community wellbeing.
Together, they explore what true wellness looks like from a First Nations perspective—mind, body, and spirit all connected.

From navigating grief and personal challenges to embracing breathwork, self-connection, and movement, Megan shares how she's been able to reclaim wellness through a decolonised and culturally grounded lens.
Whether you're mob or an ally, this is a conversation that invites you to slow down, reconnect, and tune into your inner knowing. Full of wisdom, honesty, and hope, it’s a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from healing within and building community along the way.

With less than a week until the 48th Federal Election, I had the privilege of sitting down with Yamatji-Noongar woman and the first Indigenous woman to represent Western Australia in the Senate, Senator Dorinda Cox.
This election feels like a turning point—First Nations justice, climate, housing, and international solidarity are all on the ballot. In this candid episode, I explore Dorinda Cox’s personal journey and unprecedented path into politics, unpacking the challenges and lessons she gained from her time as a police officer. We discuss critical issues facing our mobs, from the cost of living and affordable housing to the government's lack of action on First Nations sovereignty and truth. We also delve into global solidarity with Indigenous communities and Palestine, tackling important conversations on colonisation, structural change, and the Greens' grassroots approach to these pressing matters and their election promises!
It’s important to note that I was not compensated for this taping, nor any other Yarning Up taping. Our team reached out to all Senators, including Senator Jana Stewart, Senator Malindiri McCarthy, and Senator Jacinta Price, but received no response, and in Senator Stewart’s case, a decline. It was our intention to ask the tough questions on behalf of our mob while maintaining political neutrality. We are grateful to Senator Cox for allowing us to do that.

In this episode, Caroline is joined by model, actress, poet and activist Guyala Bayles. Guyala is a proud Birri Gubba and Wonnarua woman. At only 21 years old, she has a very impressive portfolio under her belt, working with iconic Australian brands like Country Road, David Jones and Cotton On. Guyala’s trailblazing efforts to make Aboriginal faces seen and heard in Australia’s media landscape are inspired by her family. Her grandfather Tiga Bayles had a passion for amplifying First Nation’s voices and stories, which led him to become a driving force in the creation of the Brisbane Indigenous Media Association and the National Indigenous Radio Service in Queensland. Her Grandmother Maureen Watson was also an avid supporter of Aboriginal rights in Australia, alongside her work as a renowned actor, vocalist, writer and storyteller.
With such a strong family legacy, Caroline talks to Guyala about the complicated dance that is embracing the path forged by her ancestors while also growing into her own person with her own beliefs and ways of being. Guyala reflects on her numerous past projects, including her starring role in the Australian film 6 Festivals, as well as looks to the future with her new found passion of storytelling through music. They yarn over a shared challenge of wearing many hats, and the importance of filling your own cup first in order to best help others.
