Celebrating International Women’s Day
In March, we had the honour of joining the Northern Beaches Council’s Women’s Day Breakfast and hearing from Kate Munari, Australia’s only female Navy helicopter pilot to serve in Afghanistan. As a team of working mums, juggling kids, volunteering and business, the event struck a powerful chord. It’s a joy to see these empowering events back after a long covid hiatus.
