Welcome to Season 5 of the Legends Series. This episode starts with my guest Aleksandar Dragičević sharing his experience of the bombing of Belgrade, now Serbia in 1999 when he was just 19 years old and about to embark on a journey to Japan.

This episode is dedicated to Leah Moreno, a dear friend and mentor of my guest Tiffany Rossdale whose death is still unsolved. It is a true honour to have Tiffany on the Legends Interview Series, and that she feels safe to share her story with us. Physical and psychological safety for the LGBTQ+ community should be a given, but as we arrive in 2022, it is still far away for many. Tiffany shares her story of transformation and I hope this window into the life of this stunning and optimistic transgender women will contribute to this.

I’d like to share the story of WTF happened next to Tracey Northcott, in the two years since we recorded the very first Legends Series interview together. We finished that first legend with what was supposed to be a very bright future ahead for Tracey and her family. In this episode, Tracey has so frankly and openly shared the raw truth of the disaster that was 2020 and the rebuilding and the evolution that was 2020, how she managed and how she had such enormous trauma, but also started to recognize what she does have.

Inexplicably connected to the ocean, Ai Futaki has made herself into a woman you should know about. Ai is one of the very few people in the world who conveys the splendor of the sea and the human-water connection.

I am thrilled to welcome back the beautiful, talented, and incredible Mei Sawada for a “What the F happened next?” episode. I'm so interested to know what happened to people over the last two years, how COVID was for them, what they did and what things were on the back burner. I spoke to Lindsay in S4 Episode 2, who is Mei’s mum. She talked about the changes she's made in the yoga studio. But also we threw in a teaser for what happened next for Mei after she moved out of the home. Here is your chance to find out what the F happened next to the breathtakingly accomplished and determined Mei Sawada.
