Writing
As a regular contributor for Mamamia, Body+Soul and Kidspot, I’m known for exploring themes in an unfiltered way which connects with audiences.
My first book, Out of the Box, was published by Simon & Schuster in 2022 for Mother’s Day and was an instant best seller.
OUT OF THE BOX
Out of the Box is a memoir co-authored by my mum Kerry and my grandma Emmie. In it we share our most personal memories and lessons learned from across the generations.
The overwhelming feedback by readers was that our book brought both tears and laughter and inspired other mothers and daughters to have the hard conversations.
A review by Lisa Wilkinson said 'A stunning portrait of a beautiful family with generations of love, wisdom and humour imbued into every story they tell'.’
