You’ve read her words. You’ve felt her impact. But have you ever heard her story?

Freya Lucas has long been one of the clearest voices around education and care - but this is the first time she’s ever been a podcast guest. And we were lucky enough to be her first.

From early childhood educator to recruiter, writer, to wellbeing work, Freya’s journey is anything but linear - and everything about purpose.

In this episode, we go beyond the bylines and talk with Freya about what it means to follow your purpose - even when the path isn’t straight.

We cover:

- What drew her to education and care in the first place

- Moving between roles - from educator to recruiter to writer

- Why “very few of us are trees” (and what that means for our career choices)

- What if your career didn’t follow the script - and that was the point?

- The campsite rule, the infinity loop, and five minute moments

- Why Freya says: “It’s a privilege to play even a small part.”

- And how sometimes your pivot can become your purpose

This one’s about identity, impact, and the quiet power of showing up with care. 

Listen Now. It’s warm, thoughtful, and full of the reminders we didn’t know we needed.
