Meet Maddy from Little Dreamers

Maddy Buchner grew up caring for her younger brother, who had a range of chronic illnesses, and her mother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer. At nine years of age, she identified a gap in the support system for Young Carers and began to raise awareness through fundraising events and stalls. This eventually culminated in a business plan for an organisation called Little Dreamers, way back in 2009. More than ten years later and over 5,000 young people reached, Little Dreamers is now Australia’s leading Young Carer organisation. Across a range of key support programs co-designed with young people in caring roles, they are breaking down barriers and empowering youths, with a vision to ensure that every Young Carer around the world is supported by someone or something by the year 2030. Maddy is one of the boldest young women I have had the pleasure of chatting with for the podcast. Whether you are a young carer or not, there is much to be learned from Maddy's story and her attitude to the work she does. You can learn more about Maddy and Little Dreamers at www.littledreamers.org.au

Meet Laura from Makeup For Change

Working in beauty salons during her early twenties introduced Laura to a number of women who felt comfortable confiding their personal stories and current situations with her during their appointments. In a safe space, often relaxed, and with a degree of anonymity, women often disclosed details with Laura about financial difficulties, domestic violence, illness, and abuse against their children by a loved one.?Having experienced domestic abuse in her own life, Laura resonated with these women who just needed some kind of outlet for what they were going through, but the hardest aspect was that not only was she not qualified to counsel them, but that at the end of the day they would often leave the salon and Laura would never see them again. She had no way of knowing if they escaped violence, protected their children, their illness treated or terminal, or destined for bankruptcy.?Laura wanting to find a way to establish her own business where women could still feel safe enough to confide in her, but have access to a range of resources to help them through whatever they were facing. In partnership with Women's Safety NSW, Makeup for Change is a project initiated Laura to help raise awareness of domestic abuse in its many forms, support those who have experienced abuse during their lifetime, and guide women to resources and organisations that can assist them.?The Makeup for Change project will be providing a complimentary hair and makeup session to women who have previously experienced domestic abuse to:Improve their sense of self worth Spoil and provide a memorable, enjoyable experience Allow a safe space in which to tell their story Contribute to raising awareness for domestic abuse You can learn more about Laura and the Makeup for Change project at www.morganelwood.com/makeup-for-change If you or anyone you know needs help please contact 1800 RESPECT or visit www.1800respect.org.au/

Meet Danielle from Motherless Daughters

At the age of 23, Danielle lost her mother to a rare form of gynaecological cancer. Staring down the barrel of life’s milestones without the support of her Mum, Danielle began searching for support groups where she could connect with other Australian women in their 20’s who had also lost their Mum. Through the power of social media, Danielle connected with a local girl called Eloise who had also lost her mother. They planned to have a quick coffee catch up to meet face to face and six hours later in that Melbourne café, Motherless Daughters Australia was born. Motherless Daughters Australia now provides support to over 4,000 women and children who have lost their Mums through various events, an online support group and beautiful children’s journals. Their goal is to connect and unite women in the same shoes to show them that they are not alone, facilitate and conduct research, and to raise awareness and provide education to the wider community. You can learn more about the special work of Motherless Daughters Australia at www.motherlessdaughters.com.au

The Kind Cards story began with kind words and an idea, to educate and empower the community. Zara was searching for a way to support her community and to also get on top of her own self-doubt. Daily affirmations were the perfect way so she created a beautiful range of affirmations cards. Zara contributes $2 from every purchase to charities that also align with her values of education and empowering others in need. During my chat with Zara we discuss purpose, procrastination and puppies! You can learn more about Zara and Kind Cards at www.kindcards.online or on Facebook and Instagram.
