765. Dani Vee and Paula McLean - The One Remaining, feminism and storytelling

Dani Vee and Paula McLean have an insightful chat about storytelling, feminism, women and how the past shapes you. The One Remaining is a story of memory, endurance, loss and love. Hilary comes upon a stack of her old diaries, which document the trauma she's endured and decides she is ready to face the hidden backstory of her life. The One Remaining is a captivating story of overcoming loss, finding the courage to trust and the self-healing power of writing our stories. Paula McLean is an author, philanthropist and advocate for Australian literature. A Patron and former Deputy Chair of the Stella Prize, she now serves as their NSW Ambassador. With a background in publishing and a legacy of supporting the voices of women, Paula brings a thoughtful perspective on purpose, creativity and the power of storytelling.
