About this listen

In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by my partner Tim as we share the true story behind creating the Sunshine Coast Fiction Festival—an event that grew 100 times bigger and better than I ever imagined.

We talk about what it really took to bring a brave idea to life: the fears we faced, the strengths we leaned on, and the pride we feel in the community we built together. You’ll hear how courage and collaboration made this festival possible—and why we’re already planning the 2026 event!

🎧 In this episode:

  • How fear almost stopped us from starting

  • The magic of combining strengths in a partnership

  • Why showing up bravely matters more than perfection

  • How this one idea sparked powerful collaborations
