Every Mother’s day we celebrate those who love and nurture, and we acknowledge those who long to be a Mother and those whos babies didn’t make it earth-side. This year’s community casting call we are honored to share the story of Josy who is a ‘childless’ mother. We were struck by her story of heartbreak, grit and a yearning we know many of our community share on Mother’s day and beyond.

Nurturing, guiding and caring for children runs in the family, both Samantha and Annie are teachers, which comes as no surprise when you meet them. Both women have a sense of warmth that reminds you of your favourite primary school teacher. We chat to her about what inspired her to follow in her mum’s footsteps and what she loved about school when she was a young’un...all while trying to use her ‘inside voice’.
