Manly Writers Festival

I was invited to be a part of the inaugural Manly Writers’ Festival; a gathering of storytelling, writing, and ideas that runs for three days in March in the Northern Beaches.

I was tasked with hosting three conversations on fascinating topics, with great minds:

All in the Brain - An examination of the neurological transitions women experience through puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, with neuroscientist Dr Sarah McKay.

The Pandemic Generation - an important dialogue about the impact of Covid on the formative years of young Australians, with Kim Cornish (AM), a Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor and Director of the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health at Monash University.

Women Through the Ages - A panel discussion with Dr Arah McKay, Kim Cornish and psychologist Maggie Kirkman about the leading mental, physical and emotional health challenges facing women and girls today.
