Leah Dunnigan; "Mental Health, Motherhood & Saying Yes (Until you don't)

This week I sit down with Leah Dunnigan, Bar Manager at Savile Row in Brisbane; a bar that’s equal parts thousand-bottle whisky temple, high-volume cocktail machine, and late-night dance party. Leah’s story is wild: from anxious uni student with a stutter to Baxter Inn head bartender, Bar Planet AVM, and now the woman steering one of Australia’s most-loved bars... all while being a mum and a recent Bartender of the Year winner. We talk about the real stuff: night shifts with a toddler, what supportive employers actually look like, the pressure to perform, burnout, sobriety resets, and why “silly” cocktails absolutely have a place on serious menus. It’s honest, energising, and very Leah. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 00:47 Leah's Journey into Hospitality 02:21 Transition to High-End Bartending 06:13 Balancing Motherhood and Career 08:23 Challenges and Support in Hospitality 15:51 Future Aspirations and Industry Challenges 21:53 The Excitement of Hospitality 22:38 Creative Drink Innovations 26:51 Memorable Bar Experiences 29:48 Handling Burnout in Hospitality 31:36 Quickfire Questions and Fun Stories 39:10 Leaving a Legacy in Hospitality This episode includes discussion of mental health, burnout, abusive dynamics, and sexual assault within the hospitality industry.
