Summary

Happy Thursday lovely Shameless fam! Today, we are joined by the remarkable Jess Quinn. When Jess was nine, her life was thrown into disarray by a cancer diagnosis. Within the year, she would lose all of her hair, and then, one of her legs. Now, Jess has turned her biggest hurdle into her biggest triumph - her career is built on the prosthetic limb she wears every day, helping her show her 180,000 Instagram followers that beauty comes in many different sizes and forms. Here, we talk with the advocate and influencer about disability, resilience, diversity and inspiration. It’s a conversation that has stuck with us ever since we sat down in Jess’ Melbourne hotel room, and will continue to have an impact on us for a very long time. If you loved Jess as much as we loved talking to her, you can catch her on Instagram here, and her petition is right here, ready to be signed! Craving more? You’re only human. Join our glorious Shameless Facebook community, where thousands of like-minded ladies keep each other up to date with the latest celebrity and pop culture stories. Or if Facebook isn't your thing why don't you chuck us a follow on Instagram instead? We know you didn't ask, but yes of course we have a weekly newsletter! So glad you asked. You can subscribe here for recommendations, columns and more super fun things (yes, we clickbaited you and we don't regret a thing. NOT A DAMN THING). If you’d like to support the show, we would like that very much. Hit ‘subscribe’ on Apple Podcasts or ‘follow’ on Spotify, and leave a review if you’re feeling especially generous. Then sit back and bask in our eternal, abundant love. Your hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1). Shameless is a production of Shameless Media.

0:00.0	Guys it's that time of year when lots of people jet off to have their Euro summer so we thought it would be a nice time to reflect on our own travels.
0:07.6	Yeah, Mitch, we love a little trip down memory lane. One of my favorite holidays of all time was my Europe trip last year. I know you're the same last year. I actually flew to Italy and
0:16.8	drove to the countryside to catch up with a whole group of friends. It was like the perfect mix of a social
0:22.2	trip that was also relaxing.
0:23.7	Yeah, that's absolutely the goal for any trip of mine.
0:26.4	I hate coming back from a holiday and feeling like I need a second holiday to recover.
0:31.1	So give us all the details, Zazzie. What made this stay so special?
0:34.7	Oh it was Aracom for sure. I actually made a great Tik-Tok about it.
0:37.6	If that makes say so myself, I don't make very good Tik-Tok.
0:39.9	Hey! But this one was good. We stayed in the countryside as I said and being a group we wanted a place that gave us a heap of space but also a bit of privacy as well. So Airbnb provided us with exactly that.
0:51.3	Yeah, that's exactly why I love Airbnb too.
0:53.9	They're awesome because you have your own space
0:55.9	in your own room, but feel really close to your friends and family
0:58.9	if you're going on a group trip,
1:00.1	and the point is to spend time together.
1:01.9	Yeah, 100%. We were able to hang out just with our group of friends.
1:05.0	We had some iconic dinners on our outdoor table as a group looking over the countryside as well as
1:09.5	some mid-afternoon apparel.
1:10.7	Beside one of the more picturesque pools you've ever seen, I am not sure I will ever have a holiday that could get.
1:15.3	With trips like that in mind, Airbnb has you covered. Plus the reviews and ratings help you find
1:21.5	exactly what you're looking for with confidence.
1:23.9	Thank you so much to Airbnb for making this episode of shameless possible.
