From a Garage Full of Baby Clothes to Supporting 60,000 Children | Carly Fradgley on Baby Give Back, The Village & Asking for Help

In this episode of Her Kind of Brave, Chloe and Kellie sit down with lawyer turned charity founder Carly Fradgley, the CEO of Baby Give Back, an organisation that has now supported more than 60,000 children across Queensland with essential baby goods and practical support for families facing crisis.

Carly shares how a garage full of outgrown baby clothes grew into one of Queensland's leading charities, supporting families impacted by domestic violence, homelessness, financial hardship, refugee resettlement and unexpected life challenges. She also opens up about becoming a mother, navigating postnatal depression and anxiety, receiving an ADHD and autism diagnosis later in life, and how understanding her neurodivergence helped make sense of a lifetime of feeling different.

It's a conversation about purpose, community, leadership, motherhood and the extraordinary ripple effect of ordinary people choosing to care.
