In this solo episode, I share some of my journey from 30 to the creation of the Institute at age 36. There's a lot in this! The first half of my thirties was a rich, busy, terrifying, joyful, traumatic and wonderful time of my life. The seeds of everything the Institute became were there, if only in hindsight. I hope you enjoy this very personal story that leads up to the moment the Institute was realised. On the eve of the Institute's 10th birthday, I am so grateful to share these events.

In this episode, I share:

• the life-saving power of conceiving my first son, completely unplanned
• My move from Melbourne to Queensland and back again
• processing the grief of letting go of the life I had planned
• getting everything I wanted only to be angry and anxious, and
• the phone call that brought the Institute into reality.
