What if your dream launch didn’t just go to plan…

What if it cracked you wide open in the most expansive way?

In this episode of Diary of the Search Queen, I take you behind the scenes of one of the most powerful seasons of my life, launching my book, The Search for Resilience.

This was so much more than strategy.
It was surrender.
It was vision.
And it was a full-body YES to building something that would last longer than any viral moment.

Inside this episode, I walk you through:

• The soul-led strategy behind launching a #1 bestseller
• The decisions I made from intuition, not ego
• How we sold out the launch party in 48 hours
• Why community, collaboration and legacy anchored every part of this process

This wasn’t just a book release — it was a movement.

And if you’re planning a launch of your own this year — whether it’s a brand, a book, or a braver version of you — I promise this one will spark something inside you.

Because when you build something your daughters can one day point to and say,
“My mum did that…”

That’s when you know it mattered.

Here’s to honouring your growth in all its forms 🧡

In this deeply moving episode of Diary of the Search Queen, I'm joined by my beautiful friend and fellow fertility warrior, Jacqui Maloney.

Jacqui is a speaker, storytelling coach and communications expert who helps people access the power of their voice and share their message with clarity and confidence.

But today’s episode goes far beyond public speaking, it's about resilience, grief, healing, and the strength that comes from owning your truth.

Jacqui vulnerably shares her journey through pregnancy loss, how she learned to receive support, and the incredible legacy she's building through The Rose Garden project at King Edward Hospital.

This one’s tender, raw, and powerful in all the right ways.

We Talk About:

• Jacqui’s experience with two pregnancy losses and how they reshaped her emotionally and professionally
• Why sharing your story (even if it’s just with one person) can be a radical act of healing
• The cultural conditioning around “doing it all alone” and how Jacqui learned to receive
• How to show up for a friend going through a miscarriage or loss
• The creation of The Rose Garden in WA and Jacqui’s mission to support other grieving families
• How she channels her story into her work as a speaking coach and advocate for women’s voices

When I started writing The Search for Resilience, I had no idea how far it would go.

I didn’t have a book deal. I wasn’t signed by a major publisher. And I certainly didn’t expect to walk into a bookstore and see my book beside Mel Robbins.

But here we are.

In this deeply personal episode of Diary of the Search Queen, I’m sharing the full behind-the-scenes story of how my book landed in major bookstores across Australia – and why that’s far more rare than you think.

This episode is for every woman chasing a dream that feels too big, too unlikely, too far out of reach. Because with a little divine timing (and a lot of grit), miracles happen.

In this episode, I share:

• The divine twist that got my book into bookstores – and why that never happens for first-time authors
• What traditional publishers won’t let you include – and the reason I said no to a book deal
• The hard truth about book marketing (it’s a full-time job… that pays in impact, not profit)
• Why this book is a legacy piece – and what happens to it after July 30 if it doesn’t keep selling
