There are some people you meet in life that leave an imprint on your heart for who they are and what they stand for. Today's guest, Holly-Ann Martin OAM is that kind of person. I was first introduced to Holly-Ann by a mutual friend after hearing about her life changeing work teaching protective behaviours to children and others in remote communities in Australia.
I was blown away by Holly-Ann's commitment to what she does, in spite of so many odds stacked against her. Whilst she is in the business of changing the lives of children for the better, getting people to understand why protective behaviours are essential for our children to know means having difficult and uncomfortable conversations so many of us shy away from.
It is this determined tenacity that has seen Holly-Ann receive recognition and awards, and whilst they're nice to receive they are not what drives her. This episode will be inspirational and motivational and get you thinking about how you can take your truth and turn it into positive impact and legacy.
