🎙 New Pod Drop! S02E22 | Defence Kidz matters - Passion & Purpose the Hayley Boswell Story

In this episode of Military Mindset for Business, we sit down with Hayley Boswell—founder and CEO of Defence Kidz, a national charity supporting more than 100,000 children of current and former ADF members.

A veteran spouse and former human rights lawyer, Hayley has become a driving force for military family advocacy—spearheading initiatives like Veteran Families Day and pushing for the recognition of military children on school enrolment forms across Australia.

Through Defence Kidz, she’s delivered thousands of resources—from deployment packs to children’s books—helping kids stay connected during times of separation. Her work reaches millions online, but her mission is deeply personal: to make sure no military child feels invisible.

We talk about:

• Building a movement from passion and purpose
• The challenges and rewards of advocating for military families
• How collaboration can amplify impact
• Why recognising military kids is vital for the whole veteran community

💡 A must-listen for anyone passionate about family, service, and creating lasting change.
