In this powerful and heartfelt episode, I sit down with Alley Pascoe, the best-selling writer behind *Heartstrong* with Ellidy Pullin and *ABC Disability* with Sarah Rose. Alley has spent years sharing the stories of remarkable women through her work at *Marie Claire* and *The Australian Women’s Weekly*, and today, she bravely and vulnerably shares her own.

Alley and I have a very real and raw into what it means to create from a place of alignment and how our measures of success have evolved over time. From freelancing to writing for Australia's biggest publications, Alley reflects on the journey of embracing “less is more” in her career. Alley’s energy is contagious and this is a must listen for women who might be trying to find their voice in the space.

This episode was recorded on Larrakia Country, where we acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land, the Larrakia people. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging, and acknowledge their deep connection to land, sea, and culture.
