Lisa Messenger Collective Hub

OAK Magazine Issue 5

$4.95 – $9.95

We are thrilled to introduce our Issue 5 cover story Lisa Messenger – Start Up Survivor.

Lisa is the vibrant, game-changing founder, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Collective Hub. She launched Collective Hub as a print magazine in 2013 with no experience in an industry that people said was either dead or dying.

Collective Hub grew into an international multimedia business and lifestyle platform. In April this year, she courageously decided to break it all and do the ultimate pivot.

Our editor and founder, Kimberley Furness, spoke to Lisa about her recent pivot and her advice for women in business in with regional and rural Australia.

We have other feature stories and advice from local women in health, fashion, fitness, beauty, hospitality, farming, creative arts, small business, wellbeing and finance.

  • Meet Kahlia Borserio from Central Victorian Podiatry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I was feeling as though I had grown to capacity within my previous position. Starting my own business had always been a dream of mine. I wanted to take charge and do it my own way," says Kahlia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Determination helps me to get through a tough day. I’ve faced some challenges early in my career. I took a risk to get to where I am now but I have used past “failures” or challenging times to keep me motivated and determined to continue growing." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Kahlia shares her story and her top 3 tips to healthy feet via our website (Your Stories Link in Bio) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Image by @gingerhousephotography ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #womeninbusiness #oakmagazine #womensmagazine #womenempowerment #womeninbiz #businesschicks #theleaguewomen #contentcreation #womensupportingwomen #womeninfocus #strongertogether #communityovercompetition #thatauthenticfeeling #womenwhowork #dontquityourdaydream #businessownership #creativemornings #futureisfemale #ruralvictoria #ladystartuplove #ladystartup #buyfromthebush #bendigo #birchip #wimmera #donald #wycheproof
  • Perfect weather for a Sunday drive. Destination... Rochester. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Visit the impressive silo art and take a selfie. Then make sure you stop in at @temptationlivingandlandscapes where you can surround yourself with greenery, the latest in homewares and treat yourself to a coffee and sweet treat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #oakmagazine #rochester #selfcare #burnout #magazines #smallbusiness #plants #indoorplants #entrepreneurship #womanownedbusiness #onehouroutofmelbourne #womenwhoempowerwomen #femalefounded #femalehustle #echuca #shepparton #geelong #buyfromthebush #mildura #swanhill #deniliquin #bendigo #selfcaresunday
  • Hands up 🙋‍♀️ who would love... scratch that... who *needs* to escape life's stresses for a few hours? Yep, me too. Sarah Emmanuel opened @ballaratsanctuarydayspa in August 2009 when she was 26. . "I got approached by the hotel to take over the ownership of the spa. I didn’t know if I was ready, but everyone said, ‘Go for it’, and I thought, 'What have I got to lose?'" . In 2019, Sarah won three major awards – Best Luxury Hotel Spa (Australia), Best Luxury Day Spa (Australia) and Best Luxury Spa Retreat (Australia and Oceania) – putting Ballarat on the global stage. Sarah has enrolled her team in our Ignite Your Instagram online training course. I cannot express how thrilled I am to be working with Ballarat Sanctuary Day Spa! It reminds the former beauty therapist in me how much I miss the spa experience. It instantly quietens the mind, relaxes the body and hides you away from the outside world. #exhale

  • Gorgeous hand made soap from @theredroadcollective which aims to close the kilometers between talented rural women living in the Australian bush. Speaking to founder Rebecca on the phone last week, I felt an instant connection. Now I can’t wait to put a face to a name. Yep, that’s just one of the many recommendations Rebecca will receive in her Instagram audit - all part of the Ignite Your Instagram online training course. Your face and your story helps to humanize your brand and make it feel more accessible to customers. It builds brand recognition. It builds trust. It shows you are confident... and confidence is contagious. Oh, and no one else is you. That’s your Instagram superpower. There isn’t a stock photo that could come close. Remember, people buy from those they know, like and trust. When was the last time you showed up on your feed? Doors close this Friday for Ignite Your Instagram.

  • It’s all in the finer details... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Like this beautiful, hand embroidered fedora crafted by the soulful and talented Julianne @bella.terra.firma 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Julianne is based in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. When Jules isn't embroidering hats with one of a kind designs, she hosts art classes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photographer Aleesha from @boundlessimagery not only hustles with her photography business, she creates content for western fashion brands, works in the Royal Australian Airforce and is a single mum to a little boy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And the beloved camel in the background lives on Australia's largest wild camel training centre and dairy operation located within the beautiful Scenic Rim of South East Queensland. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks to the beautiful @ell13 (pictured) for sharing with OAK the story behind the photo. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 📸 @boundlessimagery ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ladiesfromthelandaus #countryliving #buyfromthebush #akubra #akubraofficial #bohemianfashion #bohospirit #bohosummer #boholuxe #lackofcolor #darlingdownsphotographer #summerlandcamelfarm #smallbusiness #ruralphotography #ruralphotographer #westernlifeandstyle #rurallife #scenicrim #australianoutback #ruralaustralia #thisisaustralia #discoverqueensland #thisisqueensland
  • It's OK, I'm ready now for my Issue 8 close up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our graphic designer Louise @thedesignpond has been waiting patiently for me to get all four kids off to school so we can get the ball rolling on our next issue. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We caught up this week to map it out, bounce ideas off each other, discuss possible brand collaborations and pick out ways we can add a little bit of "extra fabulous" to the pages. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Team work makes the dream work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And big thank you to Louise and @gingerhousephotography for putting up with me on photoshoots. I always miss the cue because of a last minute zhoosh.
  • Unlike some magazines, our content is non-seasonal which means a past copy of OAK will always be relevant. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Particular stories will speak to you at different times, depending on where you are in your business journey. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We also include social media handles at the end of each feature story so you can follow these incredible women online. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Print and digital copies are available to purchase via our website.
