Nancy:

We are Maria, Margaret, Nancy, and Jean, four people living and working on the Northern Beaches connected through the We Belong Intercultural Community Leaders program. The podcast idea came about as we wanted to amplify personal stories and create connections on the Northern Beaches.

Nancy:

We created this podcast for Northern Beaches locals from all walks of life to share their stories without being confined to specific labels or categories. In each episode, we sit down with someone from the beaches and hear their story, what's shaped them, and what they're passionate about. We cover different themes such as identity, culture, disability, migration, personal growth, food, and community connection.

Margaret:

You'll get to have an intimate listen into the lives of different people who call the Northern Beaches home. We hope you find in these stories little nuggets of connection and perhaps leave a little more inspired and curious about the community around you. Happy listening.
