Notas del episodio

In this episode, Aui shares her journey from growing up in Thailand to building a new life in Australia—navigating motherhood, loss, family estrangement, and the quiet process of approaching clarity. This is a story about choosing presence over performance, and learning to stop reaching for approval when love is already close.

Her journey continues in the next episode, where we hear about her time as a Lifeline volunteer and her surprising chapter as a postie at Australia Post.
