The episode was recorded via Zoom on Tuesday the 30th of March 2020
On this Episode we talk about-

Having a voice and speaking up... even if it's to a superior 
A calling
Falling in love- It wasn't just about the body
There are two people raising the children
I'm not perfect
Being brave in your actionsLiving by 'if someone presents an opportunity for you, don't tell them all the reasons why you can't. They have seen something in you. So just say yes! They already think you can do it, don't tell them why you can't'.

Australia is home to some remarkable women.
They’re raising foster families.
Running cattle stations.
Living inspirational lives.
Yet, many of their tales of triumph are never profiled, never celebrated.
So we’re changing that… every week.. through our Women Of Influence
Podcast.
You’ll fall in love with these women.
