We often hear the voices of women who have “made it”. But what about the ordinary women who walked a path before us, or the women having life experiences right now, feeling alone on their journey? Finding My Voice brings together stories across generations — resilience, courage, wisdom, and the quiet moments that change a life.

Jo Smyth writes from a place of courage, memory, and change.

I came from a generation where children were raised to be “seen and not heard”. Like many women, I’ve wondered what it means to find my voice — to be brave, to step forward with the courage of women who came before. My hope is that in listening to the wisdom of women, every word we write together helps another woman find her voice and realise her potential.
