Woman Uninterrupted

Brodie Kane

Yarns on a life lived at a million miles, from beloved broadcaster, podcaster and go-getter Brodie Kane  
  
'A romp through glorious (and gross) adventures, Brodie writes as if you're her best friend. By the end, you'll really wish you were.' - Kerre Woodham 
First up: this is absolutely not a guide to life. I've done some impressive stuff, but I've also slept on the floor of an old Greek man's house and lost my dignity in the Brunei jungle. I say yes to everything this life has to offer - I'm from the 'women can have it all' club - and, boy, have I got the stories to show for it. 
From surf-lifesaving to a hungover Army deployment, being broke with a gum infection in Europe, spooning Richie McCaw on a mountain, improvising make-up for Paul Holmes, running my first ultra-marathon and reinventing myself after redundancy: every wild, brilliant and hilarious experience has taught me something new. Whether it's how not to care about being judged, how to fake it till you make it, how to throw yourself into the unknown or how to push through the pit of despair, I've come to love that we are all works in progress. If I fail from time to time, that's okay too.  
Open the book of this open book (me). I want to show you the raw, the real and the vulnerable of a full-volume life and how the greatest moments - or at the very least the greatest yarns - come about by just giving it a crack.
