Campfire for a Woman's Heart

‘By reading these incredible stories, you can learn how these gutsy women got back on their feet. They found a way. You can too.’ Lisa Curry AO

‘Courageous and inspiring. Raw, real, and honest. The women who bravely share their stories do so with one mission in mind – to help others transform their adversities into flames of strength.’ Jas Rawlinson – Best-Selling Author, Speaker & Award-Winning Book Coach

What does a mother from war-torn Ukraine, a survivor of the Port Arthur massacre and a former First Lady of Timor Leste have in common? Resilience and relentless determination to rise despite devastation and challenges.

Sitting around a metaphoric campfire, women share how they have overcome their worst nightmares – the tragic loss of their children, the coalface of war, Taliban terror, homelessness, violence, illegal imprisonment, disease, divorce, injuries, and more.

While most storytellers are unknown heroes of their personal journeys, others are well-known champions of resilience, including Dr Lucy Hone who opens the book with a foreword, Margaret Cunneen SC, Liesl Tesch AM MP, Dr Kay Danes OAM, Dr Kirsty Sword Gusmao AM and Kobe Steel AM.

Campfire for a Women's Heart is the second book in the inspirational Campfire for the Heart series. The stories stretch your perception of resilience, restore your pride in humanity and illuminate pathways to happiness for us all.

‘… a truly inspiring series of stories ...’ Hadleigh Fischer, Founder of Resilience Agenda & Co-founder of Mental Fitness Hub

‘… deeply moving stories … of strength, courage, resilience, and hope …’ Dr Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann AM, 2021 Senior Australian of the Year

‘It is my ongoing personal experience that courage is contagious – and that through the fearless and simple sharing of our own truths that we can collectively create hope and change for others around us.’ Shanna Whan – Founder of Sober in the Country, 2022 Australian Local Hero of the Year, & Marie Claire's Women of the Year Advocate of the Year, 2022

About the Author

Natalie believes that hardships are an inevitable and essential part of life experience that shape our character and enrich our lives. How we handle our hardships is a choice.  Although educated in Melbourne, Natalie has lived mostly in rural, remote and coastal areas of Australia, accumulating a life rich of challenges and experience. From teaching, ‘governessing’ and owning sheep and cattle stations in outback Queensland with her husband and three daughters, to eco-tourism with whales and dolphins, and international work as a Humane Educator, promoting kindness to all life on earth. In 2009, Natalie’s world fell apart- losing her marriage, family, home and business. Eighteen months later, she contracted cancer. After surviving cancer, Natalie eventually woke up to the importance of resilience for our mind and body. She resigned from her job as CEO of the Jane Goodall Institute Australia, dived into the study of Mind Body Medicine and Stress Management therapies and wrote Campfire for the Heart onboard her yacht in Queensland.   On a mission to make happier, resilient people, Natalie is an international Resilience Coach for individuals, organisations and communities.
