Kate is a remarkable woman who experienced the transition into parenthood feeling scared, alone and helpless. The emergency caesarean birth of her premature 34 week old baby was traumatic, from waking up alone and not knowing if her baby was alive or dead to having no contact with her baby for approx. 34hours after birth. Kate had no support from her abusive partner. After being discharged from hospital, Kate felt overwhelmed with loneliness due to being isolated in a rural part of Australia and being so far away from family who were on the other side of the world.  Kate endured physical, emotional and financial abuse but years later has turned all that around to become a strong and inspirational business woman who now supports other women going through similar struggles.

Kate started a support group on Facebook called 'mums supporting mums' and also mentors women to become financially independent.
