Description

Join Laura and Cath for an incredibly honest chat with the amazing Sarah MacDonald –a voice you'll know from ABC Sydney and Triple J! Sarah peels back the curtain on her incredibly full life, candidly sharing how she balances being a mum to young adults, a wife, and a dedicated caregiver to aging parents, illuminating the demands of the "sandwich generation."


Sarah dives into her exhilarating "year of play," exploring new career paths after a significant professional shift. A true Gemini, she thrives on change, and you'll love hearing about her exciting new venture: writing a musical! We tackle the big questions: the future of media in the age of AI, the timeless power of storytelling, and how to combat burnout. Don't miss Sarah's liberating take on midlife and "invisibility" – she sees it as her new superpower, opening doors to freedom and unexpected opportunities!
