Zara Seidler on grief and falling in love

Hi, everyone!

Today, we sit down with Zara Seidler, co-founder of the millennial and Gen Z news company, The Daily Aus. Zara is incredibly driven, smart, and passionate about social justice—a trait she inherited from her late father, who died suddenly when she was sixteen.

In this conversation, Zara speaks about her experience with grief and loss at such a young age, what it’s like to become one of Australia’s leading entrepreneurs, and the moment she married her best friend and life partner without her father by her side.

Just a note before you listen: this episode touches on suicide. Help and support is available via Lifeline on 13 11 14.
