This episode of Unscripted is filled with deep reflection, unexpected realisations, and powerful moments that I'll never forget. From celebrating a book launch to witnessing the raw resilience of the human spirit and welcoming new members to our mini farm, this past week has been one of transformation, gratitude, and perspective shifts.

I share: 

• The backwards way the Mabel's World imprint came to life (and how a psychic predicted it!)
• A life-altering International Women's Day event where I heard stories of unimaginable loss, resilience, and hope – including Eugenia's journey through starvation, child loss, and finding joy again
• How this event reshaped my view on pain, privilege, and the relativity of struggle
• Why I've chosen an inspiring woman called Eugenia as the recipient of the 2025 Mabel's World Author Scholarship
• The incredible work of Forever Projects and their mission to keep families together
• The newest additions to our family and how farm life is teaching my boys responsibility, resilience, and care.

This episode is an emotional rollercoaster but one that will leave you thinking deeply about your own life, your blessings, and how you can make a difference.
