‘There’s a particular kind of courage required to step out from behind your public persona.’
After more than two decades delivering the news as a TV journalist and news anchor - as well as writing columns and books - I have flipped the script.
I’m finally fulfilling my lifelong desire to inspire others, bringing personal growth and spirituality to a wider audience as the founder of The Spiritual Book Club - a thriving global community of women seeking to transform their lives.
I’m also an MC, speaker and write when I can.
Everything I’ve done to this point has led me here. Find out more about The Spiritual Book Club HERE

I have spent most of my career as a TV news reporter and news anchor. I’m also an author, columnist, and MC - and now, the founder of The Spiritual Book Club.
In essence, I’ve been telling stories for 30 years—on screen, in print, and now through powerful conversations that help people connect and grow. I was a national news anchor with Sky News Australia for 15 years, where I also created and hosted Change Makers, a series highlighting people and organisations making a positive impact in the world.
I’ve been a regular columnist with Sunday Life, Body+Soul and The Sunday Telegraph, writing about life, motherhood, finding purpose, and everything in between. I’ve also contributed to various publications, including Stellar, Harper’s Bazaar, Escape, and MiNDFOOD, and have appeared regularly on shows like Sunrise and Today as a commentator on life, parenting, and modern womanhood.
I’ve written five books—including The Single Mother’s Social Club and Mother Zen—and edited Some Girls Do, an anthology of true stories by some of Australia’s top female writers reflecting on their teenage years.
I spent ten years at the ABC, where I presented news for ABC TV’s Asia Pacific, reported for The 7.30 Report, worked in the National News team, and filled in across multiple ABC bulletins. I’ve also filed for the Seven Network from North America and the UK, produced international news for APTN in London, and worked with NBC America in their London bureau.
I’m passionate about social causes and proud to support organisations The Warrior Woman Foundation (as Patron) and Raise Foundation (as an Ambassador), which provides in-school mentoring for young people.
These days, I’m pouring my energy into The Spiritual Book Club—a space for heart-led conversations and meaningful growth. I’ve had the joy of interviewing some of the world’s leading spiritual authors, including Gabby Bernstein, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Ken Honda, and Rebecca Campbell, guiding our growing community of women on a journey of insight, purpose, and connection.
After publishing five books, I have a bit of know how in not just how to write a stand-out book proposal to pitch to publishers, but what it takes to get it into print.
If you have a dream to publish a book, I might be able to help. I offer mentoring in:
- Defining your story or message
- Finding and finessing your unique writing style and book structure.
- How write a cut-through book proposal to pitch to publishers.
I have an idea what publishers are looking for. And it’s not always what you think.
