SLP 484: The Secret Sauce is to Get Up and Keep Going with Caroline Hutchinson

‘I am blessed – some people would say it’s optimism – but it’s in my bones. I am an optimistic person. I am without doubt someone who always thinks everything will be ok. I don’t even have to tell myself everything will be ok – I just know things will work out. You’re going to get up tomorrow, you’re going to have another go and it’s going to be a little bit better… everything will pass. I heard Lisa Rowe say that this too will pass and I believe that with all of my heart, you’ve just got to get up and keep going, so that’s my secret sauce, just get up and do it and it will work out. My other secret sauce I think is marry someone who is a really good cheerleader but doesn’t boss you around!’ ~ Caroline Hutchinson

This week, we are honoured to sit down with the incredible Caroline Hutchinson – a truly loved legend on the Sunshine Coast.

With over 26 years as a beloved radio announcer and journalist, Caroline has hosted more than 5,000 breakfast shows on 92.7 MIX FM, becoming a trusted voice and companion for generations of listeners. Her passion for community and heartfelt communication shines through in everything she does – especially in her leadership of the Give Me 5 for Kids campaign, which raised an extraordinary $8 million for local children’s health services.

In this heartfelt episode, we dive into love, life, setbacks, resilience, and the power of always leading with your heart. Caroline’s warmth, wisdom, and authenticity will leave you inspired to keep showing up – no matter what life throws your way.

Tune in, be inspired and uplifted with one of the nation’s true gems.

Her definition of Self Love has changed so much over the years but as I got older I got much better at saying no and reminding myself that no one really needs me. Don’t kid yourself that someone needs you. And I listen to my millennial daughters!

Her favourite quote is:
Sell your heart not the hustle.
