Paralyzed. 

In July Delta released the first single Paralyzed from her upcoming album. The song went straight to #1 on the iTunes Australia chart. The emotional song connecting deeply with fans as Delta revealed the pain of losing her voice. 

PARALYZED

Everyone is singing their love songs
And I can't seem to find my own tune
I've been on the inside for so long
If they knew the truth
All of my plans have been silenced overnight
All that I know is paralyzed

To learn to speak again
Amongst the frustration
How do I begin?
Oh, see I will find my voice
Rebirth's the only choice
Can someone lend me a little patience?
It's just the way life goes

Delta Goodrem PARALYZED

On August 16, 2020 Delta bravely shared My Story Behind Paralyzed - an emotional youtube video diary message to her fans.  

Following complications to remove her salivary glands in October 2018, Delta woke up from surgery to find that she had lost the ability to control her speech after the paralysis of a nerve in her tongue. Scared she would never perform again. 

Delta: "...just trying to stay positive. My livelihood is my sound."

When a nerve is damaged, there is no predicting when, or if it may ever recover. Delta went into months of rehabilitation with daily speech therapy. Whilst in recover Delta wrote her 6th album. The challenging journey to recover her voice took one whole year. Delta's story is a triumphant tale of resilience. With a patience and positivity she was able to rewind and reset. 

DELTA | Carlotta Moye

Delta: "As a songwriter, I write songs from my own experiences. I tell stories about the path I have been on, wondering if anyone else has been on a similar journey. The first step in writing this new record was a personal transformation that I didn't know I needed in my life! Even though, as I am sharing today, it was a challenging one - I learned so much and I'm so grateful to be here healthy, happy and singing away." 

dream.

This year Delta announced her upcoming tour - Bridge over Troubled Dreams. Tickets are on sale now. 

Delta: "I am so excited to announce my 2021 Bridge Over Troubled Dreams Tour of Australia and New Zealand next April and May. I'm hoping that this gives us all something to look forward to when we come together to share the magic of live music again. There are going to be incredible musical moments in bringing to life the surprise elements of this new album and all of the favourites from my previous records... See you soon." 

let it rain.

Earlier this year, Delta joined forces with Apple Music to release her ballad Let it Rain, a tribute song to benefit the Australian Bushfire relief fund.  Stellar magazine showcased her love for Australia with a cover story. 

Delta: "Thank you to the amazing Apple Music for joining me in donating all proceeds from "Let it Rain" downloads to the Australian bushfire relief! So grateful for all your incredible support around the world."

Delta: "I love Australia with all my heart." 

solid gold.

Delta's new single Solid Gold is a celebration. It's now her time to shine. 

After losing her voice and facing one of the most challenging years of her life, Delta has found her sparkle again. With a solid gold year of achievements both professionally with her new music and personally with her new charity. With her remarkable resilience and bravery she is stepping back into the spotlight ...and she is glowing. Delta's heart is solid gold.

Delta: "Your inner light. If it's a rough day and you can't find yourself in the mirror, your sparkle is there... it might just be shy. It's the times that have challenged me the most, that now looking back, has show me my shine." 

Rebirth. 

2020 has been a tough year for all of us. But there is hope and light. Delta's message is one of kindness and compassion. 

Delta: "You never know what someone is going through in life. In 2020 everyone has a story and it going through something... A reset. Ask people around you, even the strong ones if they are ok! Be kind. Be patient! Stay strong and be positive."

Courtney Mangan is conquering her battle with cancer, giving listeners an in-depth insight into her career with her new Podcast She was the Fire and just launched her first solo business - Courtney Mangan Co - a chic stationery brand for the woman on the go. She also manages the crew at a successful PR agency on the Gold Coast - and she's doing all this while under going cancer treatment.

Courtney was first diagnosed with skin cancer at the age of 30. After the level 4 melanoma was removed from her shoulder, she continued to enjoy life until December 2019 when her cancer returned, after she discovered a strange lump on the back of her arm. This time it was stage 4 cancer. 

Courtney Mangan

Courtney: "I had my first melanoma (level 4) in 2017, it was a mole on my right shoulder blade. Then in 2019 I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and later re-diagnosed to stage 3b from 2 cancerous lumps found in my right arm. I am currently in the middle of my 12 month cancer treatment called immunotherapy. I have documented it every step of the way. The good, the bad and the ugly, my honest account of living with cancer as a 30 something year old."

Every fortnight on a Friday, Courtney receives her immunotherapy treatment at the hospital. This life saving treatment boosts the body's natural defenses to help fight cancer.  

Courtney: "Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that assists the body's immune system to fight cancer. While chemotherapy works to kill cancer cells, immunotherapy aims to boost the body's own immune system to fight cancer."

Stage 4 cancer. What the f*ck. In an instant this pragmatic and 'I'm too busy to meditate' girl knew she needed to make a change, so I dived head first into becoming my best self."

ANASTACIA: Superstar & Survivor

Anastacia Superstar & Survivor

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This annual awareness campaign promotes the importance of breast cancer research and reminds women to make time to get a mammogram. 

Did you know, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, with 8 people losing their lives every year. 

Survivor chick. 

American singer songwriter Anastacia Lynn Newkirk is a Breast Cancer Survivor who proactively uses her voice to encourage women to get a mammogram. 

Anastacia: "Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a chance to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer. Spread the word about mammograms and encourage communities, organisations, families, and individuals to get involved NOW! Let’s beat cancer sooner! MAKE A DIFFERENCE!" 

With her unique tone Anastacia was catapulted to stardom in 2000 after her album Not That Kind made her a household name. Her signature shades, blonde bombshell hair, overly upbeat and positive persona, and that unmistakable voice made the singer a smash hit thanks to iconic single I'm Outta Love. 

In April 2013, the singer was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was the second time she was told the shattering news, after conquering breast cancer a decade prior. Despite set back, Anastacia refused to let it get the better of her. She sees it as a gift and her purpose to be a role model for young women. 

Welcome to my truth. 

Less than three years after her debut album, Anastacia took time off to have breast reduction surgery and during a routine mammogram, she first learned she had breast cancer. She was only 34 years old. After surgery and radiotherapy, Anastacia established The Anastacia Fund, to promote the importance of Breast Cancer Awareness to young women.

Anastacia "I know first hand life with cancer is difficult. All I can say is, keep a positive outlook and do not to give up. Cancer is a scary word but let’s break it down to the positive. What are the first 3 letters of this word? CAN. You CAN do it!"

Resurrection. 

The year following her second breast cancer diagnosis, Anastacia released a new album, simply titled Resurrection. The album's first song Stay was actually written on the day she received the news cancer was back. The album was crafted on her road to recovery. 

Anastacia: "Sometimes I wonder if my purpose on this earth is to be a role model. Look at my challenges as a gift, and my voice as a tool."

Evolution. 

Anastacia's next chapter is Evolution. This era featured a new brand album (her seventh studio album) featuring 13 new pop rock tracks with dance elements that Anastacia is famous for. In 2018 she celebrated the new music, performing over 60 shows to her most devoted fans across Europe and Asia. 

She has one of the most recognisable voices of all time and this year Anastacia is using her voice to deliver a very important message for all women. 

Anastacia: "In these challenging times, I encourage all women to be vigilant with their breast health. Please don’t put off a mammogram because of this Pandemic." 

I'm braver

because I fought a giant and won.

I'm stronger

because I had to be.

I'm happier

because I've learned what matters.

I stand taller

because I'm a survivor.

Anastacia: "I never take for granted the ability to be vulnerable, honest, transparent, and shame free, especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please take the time to make your mammograms and any additional screenings even during Covid. What we don’t want is to have cancer go undetected which becomes a bigger issue later. Ask your doctors about their Covid safety precautions and please don’t put off your exams! Early detection saves lives. It saved mine twice."

Conquering cancer, not once but twice and with a 20 year music career selling over 30 million records, Anastacia is a Superstar and a Survivor.

SONYA DRIVER: In the Driver's Seat

SONYA DRIVER 

In the Driver's Seat

This month's featured Eco Angel is Eco Tan Founder Sonya Driver. 

As a mother, entrepreneur, philanthropist, author and CEO of an international beauty brand, Sonya Driver is an inspirational woman with an incredible story. 

Did you know? Sonya Driver invented Australia's first 100% natural and organic tan. Her Sister was diagnosed with a melanoma at age 30, the cancerous growth was removed, leaving a horrible scar on her arm. Sonya and her sister began getting regular spray tans -  they still wanted a tan without the risk of harmful UV rays - however they soon became concerned about the ingredients. 

Sonya: "We started having spray tans and I began researching the ingredients in the products we were using as I didn't want toxic chemicals getting into my sisters nasty scar. I couldn't believe what I found (even after they claimed they were natural)." 

Sonya Driver: "The truth is always visible. Look deeper." 

After Sonya researched tanning ingredients, she started buying natural and organic ingredients like cacao, flower essence, chamomile.  

Sonya: "I decided to start making my own Organic Spray Tan solution from my tiny kitchen using only natural and organic ingredients." 

She mixed small batches of tanning solution in her kitchen at home on the Gold Coast. Driver ordered more ingredients, making samples of her homemade spray tan and started supplying local salons. Eco Tan was born. 

In 2011, Eco Tan made Australian history, becoming the first and only tanning manufacturer to be certified organic by the Organic Food Chain Australia.  

Sonya: "My love of organics propelled me into this global phenomenon and I hold the enormous honour of being Australia's first Certified Organic Tan!"

It's all about the ingredients 
Sonya's determination to create Australia's first 100% organic tanning solution formed the foundation of her brand's principles - transparency and authenticity. This is why Eco Tan's certifications are so important. 

• CERTIFIED ORGANIC Eco Tan's entire range is made with natural and organic ingredients 
• CERTIFIED TOXIC FREE Eco Tan is certified toxic free by Safe Cosmetics Australia

• VEGAN TAN, BODY & SKIN CARE PRODUCTS Eco Tan guarantees all their tan, body and skincare products are free from animal derivatives 
• VEGETARIAN SUN CARE PRODUCTS Eco Tan's sun protection products contain only natural ingredients. 

Sonya encourages all consumers to check the labels on products they purchase, read the ingredients, do your research, practice sun safety and beware of the BS! 

Sonya: "Look past fancy packaging and the marketing show, it's the ingredients that will heal or harm." 

Failing forward to success. 
Sonya's journey to success was not an easy one. Before Eco Tan, Sonya was a struggling to make ends meet as a single mother of two. 

One day, her world was turned upside down when her husband up and left her. Their marriage was over and she was left abandoned to raise her girls alone. Sonya was unemployed with two kids, living in a run-down house. And then suddenly her sister was diagnosed with skin cancer. Sonya need to be a strong, positive influence over her fragile sister, and a good role model for her girls - so she began a new life. She spent two weeks volunteering in East Timor, where she fed hungry children. Surrounded by people who had nothing, she was able to put her situation into perspective. After her divorce, Driver was determined to get back up, dust herself off and make a positive change. 

Sonya: "The quicker you learn to get back up and dust yourself off the better. Don't take it personally."

Fast forward to 2017 and Sonya's little homemade spray tan company has grown into an award winning international beauty brand, achieving the Best Organic Beauty Brand of 2017.

Sonya is extremely passionate about lifting up other women in business and hopes to educated and inspire business women. 

Sonya: "I'm extremely passionate about lifting up other women in business. Another woman's success is not my failure." 

In 2019 Driver wrote and released her first book The Nudge by Sonya Driver - a raw organic business manual for women. 

Sonya: "[I wrote] a manual for any woman out there who's an entrepreneur, or wants to be, but doesn't know how to go about it." 

THE NUDGE by Sonya Driver

In the new book, Sonya shares her secrets to success as the CEO of an international beauty company.

Sonya: "I learnt the hard way, I made the mistakes, I rocked back and forth, I got knocked down... SO you don't have to. I've giving you access to my secrets."

Driven and determined to make a difference and uncover the truth, this year Sonya Driver launched her own Podcast; In the Driver's Seat with Sonya Driver
