This day comes round but once a year, how can we ensure the conversation continues, we embrace change and challenge? Let's all #BeBoldForChange this year and keep the conversation going. In this interview we have many local contributors sharing the work they are doing and calling for women to get involved in politics, volunteering and upcoming events.

Namoi Dougall, Davidson Electorate's 2017 Local Woman of the Year, she spoke about her work with KYDS Youth Development Service and the work the small but dedicated team do for the mental health of the young people in our community. Katie Walls from Gentle Rhythms shared how far down the list of priorities we place ourselves as women and how detrimental that is to the relationships we are actually putting higher up the list of priorities! There is no escaping Katie’s simple logic that has the potential to change the trajectory for our ongoing health. All of this plus a preview of the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai International Women's Day event 2017

Gabe Caplice and Annette Baker talk with Lucy Dahill about living life with more love and how it can affect our physical and mental health. The World Health Organisation (WHO) predicts over 11 million deaths from coronary heart disease in 2020. Why do we indulge in lifestyle choices that mean we are pre-disposed to major physical disease? Could it be there are underlying hurts we are not addressing that lead us to protect ourselves? Join us for a fresh look at choices and consequences.

David Citer and Anne Kenyon join Lucy Dahill to talk about body image, what images we are subscribing to and how it is having a detrimental affect on our physical and mental health. We all called for a revolution in loving ourselves and each other for who we are, not what we do or what we look like!

Emma Spencer and Jodie Eyre talk with Lucy about their project Kidsflix - an opportunity to use a powerful medium like film to discuss life themes with young people. The conversation inevitably travels to how the media affects our view on life, our commitment to life and to ourselves.
