Season 4, Episode 1 : Finding Joy in Unexpected Places: Zunilka's Journey of Growth and Service

In this episode, Rowena interviews Zunilka Whitnall (Global Cause Partnerships, Unicef Australia), on her Uncomfortable Growth story. Zunilka begins by sharing her unexpected transition from a successful career in media marketing to the world of humanitarian aid. This shift was not just a professional change, but a deeply personal journey that began during a challenging time in her life—her first experience of motherhood. As she navigated the complexities of being a new parent, Zunilka found herself feeling isolated and lonely, prompting her to seek meaningful connections. This led to the creation of an intergenerational playgroup, which brought joy not only to her but also to the elderly participants and their families.
