Meet your Storytellers
Trust Yourself - Stu Katzen
Stuart arrived in NYC at 19 years old, unsure of what he was doing and where he was going. His determination guided him to create a job for himself and determine his own path forward. Stuart spent the next year defining his life and honing his intuition, only to lose it, his way forward and his courage. It took 20 years to change that, and understand the importance of self, intuition and the path forward.
Unwritten Skin – Ronie Zuze
Ronie was born with a visible intersex variation and grew up facing rejection from their family and society. In 2017, they found strength and belonging at the African Intersex Movement Conference, which inspired them to start the Intersex Community of Zimbabwe. Speaking out for intersex rights led to threats and a near-fatal attack, forcing Ronie to flee. Today, they’ve found safety, freedom, and acceptance in Australia.
Guided by G-d – Chavi Israel
On the first night of Hanukkah, Chavi arrived at the Bondi celebration with her baby son and an inexplicable sense that something was wrong. Moments before a terrorist attack unfolded, she began to leave. Throughout the chaos that followed, her intuition guided every decision. As she protected her child and fled to safety, she felt connected to generations of Jewish resilience, carrying the strength, memory, and survival instincts of those who came before her.
Sliding Doors - Angelina Zimmerman
At a young age, Angelina survived a suicide attempt, an experience that shaped her emotional intuition. Years later, she learnt her former best friend, a former police officer, died by suicide using her service weapon. Her death echoed Angie’s painful intersection which forced her to trust her intuition as she confronted old wounds whilst mourning someone who once mattered deeply.
Social Resilience – Sam Lee
After experiencing bullying and severe depression that led to multiple hospitalisations, Sam’s intuition led him to transform his life by studying mindset, social dynamics, and personal development. Today, he empowers others to overcome social anxiety, speak with confidence, build meaningful relationships, and unlock opportunities in business, leadership, and life.
Dark Night – Courtney Wallbank
Courtney shares a no BS tale of letting go; of a toxic parent, of a business, of identities. Trusting herself to make decisions when everything seems like it’s coming apart because her intuition guides her through the process of it all coming back together. This is a messy, powerful, vulnerable story that will inspire you to see that even when life feels uncertain you can come home to yourself, connect with your inner knowing and trust with every inch of your being that you are on the right path.
