Tomorrow is Not Today

She lost her daugher to s**cide. Here's how she survived

Kingsley Colley — Sun, 03 May 2026 17:33:40 +1000

This episode of Tomorrows Not Today podcast, Eslana Lower, a Gold Coast nurse, midwife, mother, business owner, and author, shares the story of losing her 15-year-old daughter Riley to suicide on Nov 17, 2022, after Riley jumped from their 33rd-floor balcony while Eslana and Riley’s sisters were home.

Eslana found her and describes the aftermath, including trauma, anger, and learning to “say yes” to grief and life.

She explains how childhood abuse and neglect shaped her, how parenting taught her, and why vulnerability is strength, emphasising conscious communication to avoid shame.

Eslana discusses resilience “born of gratitude,” the danger of self-isolation, and the need for connection and specialised support. She describes factors behind Riley’s death, including Snapchat-based bullying and alleged grooming by an older supervisor, and shares how her surviving daughters are thriving, finding community through youth group and church.

She promotes her book, “Resilience After Great Loss: Learning to Live and Grieve Simultaneously,” and offers copies to those who can’t afford it.

Success Was Killing Her Slowly

Kingsley Colley — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 17:02:04 +1000

What happens when success leaves you empty, angry, and barely holding your marriage together?

In this episode of Tomorrow's Not Today, host Kingsley Colley sits down with Mariana Lennert — Brazilian-born feminine leadership mentor, entrepreneur, and founder of Empower Her — now based in Australia after a life-changing move 19 years ago.

Mariana opens up about leaving a law career that no longer aligned with her soul, navigating motherhood as a single mum in a foreign country, building multiple businesses — and still hitting rock bottom with depression, panic attacks, an eating disorder, and a marriage on the brink of collapse.

This is a raw, honest conversation about what it really takes to heal, lead, and live with purpose.

In this episode you'll discover:

Why high-achieving women often mask deep pain behind outward success
How childhood safety patterns fuel control, resentment, and relationship breakdown
The LSD experience in Brazil that convinced Mariana she was "here for something"
Why small, courageous actions — not giant leaps — create lasting transformation
How to follow signs, build intentional legacy, and lead from authentic power

Listen now if you're ready to stop surviving and start leading.

She Shouldn’t Be Here… But She Is

Kingsley Colley — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 16:00:00 +1000

On the Tomorrow’s Not Today podcast, Kingsley interviews Sally Jones about her lived experience of child abuse, complex PTSD, addiction risks, and the ongoing work of healing, and how she turned that trauma into a child protection education program after 20 years as a teacher.

She describes gaps in school-based prevention, lack of repetition, unsustainable one-off visits, and outdated “stranger danger” messaging and argues kids need skills for real-life encounters with perpetrators, who may be family, peers, or anyone.

Grounded in attachment theory, her online, interactive program teaches grooming behaviours, boundaries, and self-trust by noticing body signals, and includes “champions” (trusted adults) plus an in-program “switch” that alerts a designated school contact to support mandatory reporting. The conversation also addresses adult recognition of abuse, trauma’s effects on relationships and emotional regulation, imposter syndrome, and seeking professional help and trusted support.

On the Tomorrow’s Not Today podcast, Kingsley interviews Kerrie Atherton—wife, mother, grandmother, jazz musician, mental health advocate, addiction counsellor, author, podcaster, board director with Mentoring Men Australia, and ambassador for Fearless PTSD—about how childhood trauma and addiction shaped her purpose. Kerrie describes growing up with alcoholism, bipolar disorder in her mother, early traumatic events, bullying by a teacher, sexual assault by a pedophile, later rape, substance misuse, suicidality, and a near-fatal overdose. At 18, after planning to end her life and hearing a voice telling her not to, she returned to Alcoholics Anonymous and has been sober for 44 years. She discusses acceptance, delusion/denial in addiction, “54” negative consequences across love, livelihood, liver, and law, and the need for families to detach without enabling. She founded Stories of Hope events, published three books featuring nearly 50 speakers, hosts Inspirational Humans, and offers coaching for burned-out leaders.

You're not broken, you're being built

Kingsley Colley — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 15:55:42 +1000

This spoken word metaphor of a seed becoming a flower to argue that what feels like an ending may be the beginning. It describes being buried in darkness and loneliness, then breaking through to light and encountering cycles of storms, heat, and wind that strengthen roots and growth.

The pain of change, including “pruning” and shedding old protection, is framed as preparation rather than punishment, creating space for new buds and a greater purpose.

The message emphasises trusting the process of life’s seasons, enduring hardship, and recognising that suffering can shape strength and beauty that impacts others—sometimes immediately, sometimes years later. It concludes that even the end of a season returns to the ground not in defeat but as nourishment for future generations, forming a lasting legacy.

Prison should have ended me

Kingsley Colley — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 05:25:00 +1000

On The Tomorrow Is Not Today podcast, Kingsley interviews his longtime friend Patrick, an Ohio-based husband, father of four, artist, pastor, and entrepreneur who has travelled widely doing prison outreach. Patrick recounts growing up in a broken home after his father left when he was about five, moving from Denver to inner-city Cleveland and into poverty, and later going to Colorado to find his father only to encounter severe abuse, alcoholism, drugs, and violence.

Feeling unseen, he lashed out and returned to Cleveland angrier, quickly entering crime and substance use. At 16 he was arrested on five counts of kidnapping, aggravated robbery with a gun, and a home invasion, facing a minimum of 45 years, and while incarcerated learned his brother Larry—who had not been in trouble—was stabbed to death; his best friend was stabbed in the heart and survived but remains blind and paralysed.

The killer avoided prison, had political connections, was given the knife back in court, and later became a police officer, prompting Patrick to plan revenge until he heard a voice in his cell telling him it would not honor his brother. Patrick describes choosing forgiveness—also forgiving himself—through an intense spiritual experience in solitary confinement and later through therapy focused on healing his inner child. He explains he avoided adult court after telling the judge the truth, accepting responsibility, and apologising to victims; the judge kept him in the juvenile system, reducing potential time to about four and a half years. In prison he pursued education and skills, then was released with a condition he return to Colorado, where he connected with a supportive church community (where he met Kingsley) that helped him rebuild his life. Patrick says his purpose is tied to his deepest wounds and describes creating businesses (coffee shops and construction) that employ only people coming out of prison or drug treatment, citing an 87% success rate and emphasising that many incarcerated people have unresolved childhood trauma.

He shares an example of “Big Al,” a large, institutionalised former violent offender who had never had a birthday celebrated; after Patrick and an Australian team threw him a surprise birthday and symbolically burned his prison items, Al’s life changed and he has not returned to prison or harmed anyone in over 10 years. The episode closes with Patrick’s guidance on legacy: recognise your inherent worth and the brevity of life, find what makes you feel alive, and use your gifts for something bigger than yourself that benefits others.

Why Mother Teresa isn't your measuring stick

Kingsley Colley — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 19:14:00 +1000

In this deeply inspiring conversation, Megan reveals the truth about pursuing your passion: it's not about having it all figured out.
