In a world that so often asks women to hold so much, family, work, community, advocacy, and care, we rarely make time to talk about the space between. The space where we pause, breathe, reflect. Where we look after ourselves while we’re looking after everyone else. Where we can be honest about how heavy it can feel, and how we keep going anyway.

We’ll share a delicious dinner and hear from our three guests who have walked the hardest roads and still find ways to hold themselves and others. While some have shared their stories as survivors, others have worked behind the scenes to make systems fairer and kinder. Each of them bring wisdom that speaks to the heart of what it means to care, persist, and still find space for yourself.

With an introduction from our very own Belinda Young, MOTHS Founder and Victoria’s 2023 Australian of the Year in the Local Hero category, we are honoured to share this evening with remarkable guests:

This event is not about re-living the past, but instead acknowledging the events & challenges that shape our paths and sharing insights on finding ways to look after ourselves while we fulfil all the other roles in our lives.

Join us as we connect, make friends and all find the space between.
