Generation Women Melbourne - My Best Mistake: Stories of Wrongs That Went Right

  • Generation Women Melbourne 7-11 Dawson Street Brunswick, VIC, 3056 Australia (map)
 

Mistakes are inevitable, but sometimes a misstep can take us down the right path. This month, our talented ensemble of multigenerational performers will present true tales of life-changing moments born from a mistake, an error, a beautiful blunder. Expect stories of mishap that ended up being miraculous and tales of triumph over travesty. Sometimes, two wrongs can make a right! Join us in April and enjoy an evening celebrating hard-won wisdom and unexpected luck.

Our performer line-up:

Team 20s - EVA MAY is a psychology student with a passion for travel, holistic health, wellness and mental health advocacy. As a self-confessed “energiser bunny”, when she’s not planning her next adventure, you’ll find her on a run, in the ocean, or on a coffee walk with her besties.

Team 30s - SOM PURI is a writer, a keynote speaker and an only child with a rich inner life. She recently spoke at TedxMornington, where she explored how being intentional about how we narrate, highlight and link the stories from our lives can help us create powerful personal narratives. If she had a superpower, it would be championing people to better express the diverse parts of their personality and identity, and tell their non-linear stories in aligned, memorable and impactful ways. She also runs a copywriting business where she works with brands to align their words to their brand voice, their community and their business goals.

Team 40s - JACKIE KATSIKIS is a lifelong traveller, learner and behavioural expert. She’s a scientist, facilitator and coach by education, intuitive and spiritual guide by journey. She takes a conscious approach to life blending the realms of spirituality and science with her real-world experiences to drive positive change in people’s lives.

Team 50s - SALLYANNE HARTNELL is award nominated podcaster and Relationship & Divorce Coach - supports clients feeling challenged in their relationship or marriage, navigating separation or divorce - she is the woman no-one wants to need. She is a fiercely proud single mother to two big-hearted, adventurous, young adults, and happiest sharing good food and conversation with the people she cares about most.

Team 60s - MARY SCOTT, With over three decades of experience, Mary is a seasoned Confidence Coach and Entrepreneur. Her expertise empowers individuals to reach their full potential. Recognized for her authenticity and wisdom, Mary inspires lasting change, guiding others to reclaim their power and thrive in their personal and professional lives

Team 70s- Irene Mooney’s passion has always been singing and acting and she has been a member of many local amateur theatre companies and groups. Irene began performing in plays and musical theatre in1966 (she played Meg in Brigadoon) and has never looked back!
