In this episode of HER Peninsula, Sophie sits down with Stephanie Hill, Philanthropy and Engagement Manager at the Payton Foundation, for a heartfelt conversation about purpose, generosity and creating lasting impact.

Steph leads donor engagement and strategic partnerships that support grassroots organisations across Australia, Asia and Africa, connecting people with communities driving change in health, housing and education. But her passion for this work began much earlier.

She shares how a school trip to India became a pivotal moment in her life, opening her eyes to global inequality and igniting a desire to build a career with purpose. From her time working with Fusion in Mt Martha to her role today at the Payton Foundation, Stephanie reflects on the experiences and relationships that have shaped her journey.

Together, they explore what it means to give with intention, how meaningful connections can create lasting change, and why legacy is about so much more than money. It's a conversation about turning awareness into action and finding purpose through serving others.
