One Foot in Front of the Other

In Episode 5 of Stories of Love & Loss, I sit down with Michael Linke, an author, photographer, former CEO of the RSPCA, and advocate for resilience and animal welfare. Born with severe vision impairment, Michael has spent his life refusing to let adversity define him. From representing Australia in sport to leading major organizations, his journey is one of determination, love, grief, and hope. We speak about the profound loss of both his parents, the different ways grief can shape us, navigating life with disability, unconditional love, mental health, healing, and what it truly means to keep moving forward. Michael also shares powerful reflections on family, purpose, animals, and finding meaning through even the most painful experiences. A deeply honest and emotional conversation about life, loss, resilience, and humanity. Guest: Michael Linke• Website - https://www.linke.com.au/• Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/michaelrlinke/• Dear Mum on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Dear-Mum-personal-Michael-Linke/dp/B0D2ZFLXYVTo know more about what I do and offer go to my website www.summroshni.com, subscribe to my YouTube channel  @SummerRoshniBhullar or follow me on Instagram @talkswithsummer.@ 2026 Summer Roshni Bhullar.
