About this listen

In this heartwarming episode, we’re joined by a special guest who was raised in a loving family in rural New South Wales, she shares fond memories of an idyllic childhood filled with holidays and trips to Sydney.

Becoming a Registered Nurse, she eventually found herself working in one of the most intense and emotionally demanding areas of healthcare — the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). She takes us behind the curtain of ICU life, giving us a rare insight into the pressure, precision, and emotional strength required to care for patients on the brink.

We dive into the tough realities of working through the COVID-19 pandemic, how she and her colleagues coped, and the lessons she carries with her from that time.

Now, as she looks forward to a gentler pace of life on the stunning South Coast of NSW, she talks about re-discovering a new creative passion: crafting beautiful leadlight windows. With her husband out catching dinner and the sea breeze at her back, she finally has time to embrace artistry and relaxation.

This episode is a beautiful blend of clinical grit and personal grace — you won’t want to miss it.
