I hate emails.
THE LIST is the email I always wanted in my inbox. It offers a little escapism, a lot of fun, plus a hearty dose of inspiration.
My mission: to Make Inboxes Great Again, one email at a time.
Every Friday I share…
a quote I love, as a downloadable original art print
what I’m currently reading, watching or listening to (think books, podcasts, tv)
my favourite fashion or beauty find of the week
And by far the most popular section: a foolproof recipe that’s high on taste and low on effort
You’ll also get a little window into my life as a Netball Commentator* on Fox Sports and Sports Reporter/fill-in Weather Presenter for 7News.
Plus behind the scenes of my business and family life with my boyfriend Josh and his two little girls. (And special appearances of my Border Collie, Barry)
All recommendations are honest thoughts on what I’m currently using/doing/experiencing in real time :)
*NOTE: if you’re from the US - Netball is kinda like Basketball without the bouncing or backboard. It’s the most popular female sport in Australia!

But who am I?
I’m Emily Beaton - a former Netballer, turned Fashion PR/Marketing Manager. Now a Fox Sports Commentator, 7News Sports Journo & sometimes Weather Presenter.
I live in Adelaide, South Australia with my boyfriend Josh.
Here’s the full version… (warning: it’s long!)
I’m Emily, a former professional netballer. I played for the Adelaide Thunderbirds for 10 years, won 2 premierships and was a part of the Australian Diamonds squad for a few years too.
At the same time I started my hand-lettering business Cleverhand - where I create custom art for people to add a little extra love and meaning to their homes.
As an athlete, I was obsessed with goals and recognised the privilege I had being surrounded by others with a similar mindset, my exposure to high level thinkers and constant accountability - so I created my own club to replicate a similar environment. The Goals Club helped hundreds of women achieve their goals while loving their life along the way. (I’m still obsessed with goals and mindset!)
I was then approached to work in Fashion PR and Marketing. As someone who loves fashion, it was an opportunity I couldn’t say no to. I was the Marketing and Influencer manager at Australian Fashion Group for 2+ years.
In 2023 I set myself a challenge to create a weekly newsletter that would add a little fun, frivolity and inspo to inboxes. Enter: The List. Every single Friday since January 2023, I’ve sent an email packed with free prints, foolproof recipes, and my favourite fashion, beauty, book & podcast finds.
In 2023 I also started my media career with FOX Netball which I fell in love with!
This led to an opportunity with Channel 7 in Adelaide, where I’m a Sports Reporter and sometimes Weather Presenter on 7NEWS.
In 2024 I’ve relaunched The List on Substack (hi!) and have expanded it’s offering to include Tuesday emails, alongside my much-loved Friday Issues.
On a personal note, I live with my boyfriend Josh (he’s the best!) and his two little girls (50% of the time).
I try hard but don’t take myself too seriously. My favourite thing to do is laugh. My goal here is to have fun and peel back the curtain on what going after your dreams looks and feels like.
I hope you like it here! :)
