In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Kirsty Nancarrow, an award-winning former ABC journalist, passionate advocate for journalists, social justice, and gender equality, and now the Co-Director of eMotion Video & Media Training. Kirsty shares her incredible journey from working in hospitality in Sydney and the UK to becoming a leader in media training and storytelling based in Cairns, Australia.

We dive into Kirsty’s debut book, Himalayan Dreams: The Story of Som Tamang, an extraordinary tale of resilience and hope. Kirsty recounts how a life-changing visit to Nepal following the devastating 2015 earthquakes led her to tell the story of Som Tamang, a former child slave who has moved mountains to transform the lives of a generation in Nepal.

Our conversation also explores the importance of giving back to the community, overcoming PTSD, and building resilience through good habits like maintaining a strong sleep routine and embracing the power of a simple smile. Kirsty’s insights will leave you feeling empowered, reminding us all that we are stronger than we think.
