When Sarah first embarked on this journey, she found it very difficult to source any information at all, especially with an Australian lens. Now, three years on - while there is a lot more content, Sarah still tends to stick to her favourites and has learned so much from listening to experts on Podcasts. We wanted to collate specific episodes that we have listened to, vetted and gained positive information from. We hope that these resources will help you learn and feel not quite so alone as well.

The Podcasts are useful for a short snippet of information and can be listed to in short bursts to manage your attention span, but don't discount books. We found that audio books in particular were a great source for a bit more of a deep dive and found these particular books useful and relatable. We hope you do too!
