In this powerful episode of UThink, Rose sits down with Abhishek Malik—engineer, cancer survivor, and ultra-endurance athlete—who went from feeling like an "average" teenager to becoming one of the few Australians to swim the English Channel. Diagnosed with tongue cancer at just 22, Abhishek shares how a life-altering diagnosis reshaped his purpose, sparked his drive, and inspired his mission to give back through extreme adventures.

In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Annabelle Daniel OAM, CEO of Women's Community Shelters, to unpack the human stories behind domestic and family violence in Australia. From the emotional weight of deciding who gets the last available bed in a crisis shelter, to the grassroots impact of education programs like Walk the Talk, Annabelle shares raw, real, and inspiring insights into the work of protecting women and children at their most vulnerable.

You’ll hear about:

• The harsh reality behind waitlists for safe shelter beds
• What coercive control really means, and why it's now criminalised
• How small acts — like a toiletry bag from a schoolboy — can have massive impact
• The hidden crisis of homelessness among women over 50
• Why hope, community, and connection are just as essential as housing

This episode is a call to action — for empathy, education, and engagement. Whether you’re an educator, parent, business owner, or student, you’ll leave knowing how to contribute: with your time, your talent, or your treasure.
