📢 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 Finally, I get to share the good news that the audio book version of Living Human is now available for your listening pleasure on Audible, Apple Books and wherever you get your audiobooks from. After many requests for it, I feel so happy that I’ve been able to narrate my own story and share it with you. Thank you to all the people and organisations who have asked me for this, for everyone’s support of my story and for the amazing comments that come in each time my book comes up in conversation or across social media. It’s makes the emotional work of sharing something so personal, so very worth it. Have a listen and let me know what you think. What chapter got you right in the feels?

Easter 2026 1. Family all aboard the Ferry to Rottnest Island 2. A Quokka decided to visit us while we lunched 3. My niece Nina caught her first fish and learned to scale it with my Dad (her Grandpa was very proud as you can see). 4. We visited the lighthouse where we got engaged about 20 years ago. Just below in the water is where we spread the ashes of my Gran and Pay. Rottnest means a lot to us. 5. We met a Brown Falcon (named GT) and his keeper that work exclusively with birds of prey - it was magnificent and those talons are very very long irl. A fabulous weekend away with the family, fishing, riding bikes, collecting sea shells, and being surrounded by some of the cutest animals on planet earth. Heart is very full. Take me back. #rotto #ferry #quokka

The gap between present & future (musings from me in my dressing gown). #startup #entrepreneur #founder #chronicillness

Visibility is often the first form of opportunity. When women in AgriFood-Tech are seen, heard and trusted, new ideas emerge and the whole ecosystem becomes stronger. In this video, Flic Manning, Anna Phillips and Skye Raward share why visibility and credibility matter so much for women across the sector. Sometimes support starts with something simple — sharing someone’s work, introducing them to a new connection, or backing their leadership in a room where they might not yet be recognised. What’s one way you could support someone else this week? #InternationalWomensDay #GiveToGain #AgriFoodTech #WomenInSTEM #WomenInAg #AgInnovation #Leadership #Community

The hour leading up to me presenting looks like this…. I eat smooth light foods, and no dairy, I drink lots of warm water for my vocal cords and throat, I add makeup to my face, I dance and sing throughout the process to boost dopamine and serotonin and then I do breath work. Then I go be a boss ass bitttch. 😉 #speaker #keynote #masterclass #uvp #startup #entrepreneur

I had the privilege of supporting @crohnsandcolitisau today in Perth at the Youth Event and I got to meet and interview @jakewaterman_ of the @westcoasteagles about his experiences being an athlete and human with IBD. It was a delight to get to see so many kids playing footy, and for many, having a smile on their faces for the first time in months as they have been navigating these autoimmune diseases. As a kid going through this myself, it brought back a lot of memories. I got a chance to chat to wonderful medical people who are a breath of fresh air compared to what I experienced at that age. Parents, wonderful teen and adult volunteers, lived experience mentors and ambassadors, dieticians and doctors all collectively supporting kids, teens and their families. It was heart warming to say the least. Jake was well spoken, very compassionate and open about his own experiences and so many of the kids and parents were grateful for his honesty and warmth. Thank you Jake for representing at the highest levels - it’s a light in the tunnel for so many. Looking forward to chatting to you further about this soon 🙏 My mum and dad also got to be there - a first for them to see my work with CCA and they got to watch the interview live. They were once the worried parents sitting on the sidelines, biting their nails and praying for the best. It felt nice to show them me, full circle. A HUGE thank you to Bart, Leanne, Alyssa, the whole CCA team, all the ambassadors and volunteers and teen mentors for making this possible and for letting me be a little part of it. Here’s to making a world where our experiences are normalised and considered. Let’s continue to flush the stigma 💜 It’s IBD awareness month - so let’s talk about it. Spread the message far and wide! #cca #crohnsdisease #colitis #ulcerativecolitisandcrohns #mentalhealth #invisibleillness #chronicillness #disability #hiddendisability #eagles #football #afl #westcoasteagles #jakewaterman #flicmanning

⁣ It’s publication day baby! And this is a big one. ⁣ ⁣ 12 months ago, if you’d told me I’d be reading a front page feature in @marieclaireau researched and written by ME, I would have said, “Tell ‘em they’re dreamin’!”⁣ ⁣ But here she is! And with the luminous @asherkeddieofficial gracing the cover 👌🏼👌🏼 ⁣ There are so many people who made this story possible, some of whom didn’t end up in the finished piece, but who generously shared their experiences and expertise nonetheless 🙏🏼 ⁣ A giant thank you to @alexxiii for the commission, and for somehow guiding this runaway train through the editorial process. ⁣ ⁣ And to the brilliant minds, Dr Ariella Heffernan-Marks from⁣ @ovum_a.i , Associate Professor Grant Blashki, and Associate Professor Piers Howe who expertly shaped my understanding of the current landscape. ⁣ ⁣ Most of all, a big fat thank you to the brilliant @flicmanning for sharing her experience navigating this new terrain. ⁣ ⁣ That’s enough of my nonsense, it’s an absolutely beautiful edition, so go and get yourself a copy!

Hi everyone 👋🏻 I’m Flic Manning, the host of The Flic Manning Show. Thanks for tuning in! As some of you are new to the show I thought I’d do a quick intro about me and the show: I’m an award winning broadcaster, author and CEO who was a dancer, choreographer and fitness professional. I’ve done the real deal Silicon Valley experience and regularly help others in the startup ecosystem. I have chronic illnesses and have faced plenty of traumas in my lifetime. I have a background in neuroplasticity, polyvagal breathing, neurobiology and wellbeing. Plenty of obstacles have been placed in my path. Working out how to move forward with my wellbeing in tact has been at the root of so much of my journey. And it made me fascinated by the human experience. It’s why I interview extraordinary people- because we all want to be able to express ourselves and live as the fully rounded complex forms we are. And I want to give you as much wisdom, and room to discover yourself as possible. So this show is made with that in mind. I hope you’ll find comfort, joy, inspiration and belonging here - I certainly have ❤️ Thanks for being part of it! Flic xx
