Strap in for an inspiring and heartwarming episode of the Hot Property Podcast, where Greg Riehl sits down with Shirley-Anne Gardiner, CEO of Momentum Mental Health.

From humble beginnings to leading one of Toowoomba’s most impactful mental health organizations, Shirley-Anne shares how Momentum is transforming lives through free, community-based programs, wellbeing coaching, and a whole lot of kindness. They talk about overcoming stigma, street art’s unexpected power in healing, and how one trek through Kokoda is helping raise $300,000 for the cause.
