In this episode we dived deep into the resilience often displayed by women in our community, many who juggle work, parenting and other roles with an enormous set of social pressure. We talk about shifting gender roles in society, and get educated on the services offered by The Northern Centre for clients facing significant challenges including domestic and family violence and homelessness.

We don't think it's possible to have a conversation about resilience in Australia without considering the longest surviving culture on the planet - that of our first nations peoples. 

This episode is absolutely worth every minute of your time, to listen, learn and reflect on each word shared in this powerful conversation with our guests Jo and Sue.

In this episode we speak to owners of small businesses in the Ryde area about how they have been impacted during the last few months of COVID-19. Plus, following last week's episode on Refugee Week, we had a conversation with the Mayor of Ryde, Jermoe Laxale all about the fact that Ryde is a Refugee Welcome zone.

These are authentic stories of resilience, and an important reminder to support local where ever you can.
