In this episode I sit down with Kendall Gilding and what struck me most wasn't the twenty years on camera or being one of the youngest news anchors in the country. It was her honesty about what it actually cost to hold it all together.

For eight years Kendall was the face of Queensland's afternoon news. And then she walked away from the thing that made her, to build something of her own. What unfolds in this conversation is so much more than a career story. We talk about what it really takes to look composed when you're falling apart behind the scenes, the quiet bravery of leaving, and what she's learning about leading as herself rather than the version the anchor desk asked her to be.

My chat with Kendall was just the reminder I needed that day. That we're all just doing our best and are so very human. As inspired as I always am in my chats with people with such incredible success stories, it's their immense vulnerability that inspires me the most. This was no exception
