CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT THE QUEENHOOD WEB- SITE AND WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START THIS NEW INITIATIVE? QueenHood www.queenhood. com.au will be rolling out next month – I’m so excited! It’s a platform to unite, inspire and bring together women who want to be part of a DREAM Team of women. Women who lift up, who care and compare. I have four main pillars to showcase: motherhood, style, workhood, health and fitness. With events rolling out and great content on the website it’s a dream that’s long stirred in my heart. My passion is building women up, so they know their talent, their gift, their purpose. Celebrating and championing the women they are, be it full-time workers, women with or without children. Any woman having a dream, I want that to come alive! And when you have a group of women who believe together, amazing things happen!17. WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS AND DREAMS?Another baby would be brilliant. I’ve always wanted four children, as has Thomas, so this would be such a blessing! I enjoy pregnancy and the chance to watch my body change and grow. Growing QueenHood and really building it into a platform that will continue on! I keep loving all the media work I’m being given the opportunity to have. It’s really such an honour to have the work I do; I am so grateful for it....
