Once known for Muriel’s Wedding, Gabby Millgate has since found a new stage - early childhood education. 

Now a Nature Pedagogy Leader, Gabby brings creativity, care, and courage to early education, reminding us that children aren’t separated from nature - they’re part of it. 

In this episode of The Bold Blueprint, Barbi and Jamie talk with Gabby about using performance to build connections, why dirt is foundational to learning, and how ecological literacy starts with small acts - one rock, one seed, one story at a time. 

We explore: 
✅ Nature pedagogy and ecological literacy 
✅ Children as participants, not spectators 
✅ Fire pits, chickens, compost and courage in practice 
✅ How belonging to land builds confidence, empathy and care 

💙 Because nature isn’t a luxury in early childhood - it’s the original curriculum.
