💌 Dear Me: The letters we wish we could send

What wisdom do we wish we’d had years ago, and what do we want to remember in the future? Listen to six storytellers across generations dig deep as they share self-compassion and encouragement to the women they were, and the women they will become.

If you’ve ever thought, I wish I knew then what I know now, this show will hit you in the heart.

You’ll laugh, cry and walk away with reminders you didn’t know you needed.

Team 70s+: Barbara Jones is an 81-year-old widow who lost her husband at 37, raised her family alone, and built one of the most remarkable second acts you'll ever hear about. A Masters Swimming champion who competed at state, national and World Championship level, her love of competition unlocked a decades-long passion for solo travel across the globe. She has spent her life quietly showing up for others without being asked, a habit that earned her the 2024 NSW Senior Volunteer of the Year Award. She says helping was always reward enough.

Resilient & Rural: Joy in Unexpected Places

Regional life brings its share of challenges, but also surprising moments of joy. These stories explore resilience, individuality and the beauty found in places others might overlook. They remind us that even in the toughest conditions, joy can be found — often where we least expect it.

This event is presented by Generation Women Australia, founded by Donna Logue, and hosted by Summer Land. Summer is an author and ghostwriter of 15 books, including The Last Victim with Tracy Hall, and most recently, Natalie Bassingthwaighte's memoir, Love Like This. Known for her sharp wit, intense curiosity and deeply empathetic nature, Summer is passionate about helping tell stories that inspire a more connected, compassionate and creative world.

This event is proudly supported by Watershed Women Mudgee and funded by Create NSW.

She uses cultural arts like Bollywood dancing to engage diverse, especially South Asian, communities in her advocacy.

Team 30s: Kesh Mudaly is a biodynamic viticulturist and Assistant Vineyard Manager at Lowe Family Wine Co.

An Independent Performer/Writer/Producer/Creative Collaborator, her career began in Sydney’s 1990s LGBTQI dance party scene.

An international traveller, avid reader, and committed community volunteer, Victoria brings warmth, curiosity, and hard-won wisdom to everything she touches — and an unshakeable dedication to living fully.
