By IMPACT Community Services Managing Director Tanya O'Shea

In a world where change is constant and our community faces ever-evolving challenges, it is more important than ever that we foster connections, inspire transformation, and confront the pressing issues head-on. It’s with great pride and excitement that I introduce the Stronger Together Podcast— a new platform dedicated to tackling the big issues we face head-on and offering insights, solutions, and empowering conversations that will resonate with each and every one of us.

The Stronger Together Podcast is an extension of the Stronger Together column. Through the podcast, we aim to delve even deeper into the topics that matter most to us all, ranging from mental health and physical wellness to employment, parenting, coping with the cost of living crisis, living your life the way you want, and much more. Our mission is simple: to inform, assist and empower individuals, families, and communities by providing a platform for open, honest, and informative discussions.

I am proud to host the Stronger Together Podcast alongside my co-host, Kate Buckland—a remarkable individual who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the podcast. As a Communications Officer at IMPACT, Kate has dedicated her career to amplifying voices and telling stories that make a difference. With over 20 years of experience in journalism, public relations, and communications, Kate possesses a keen understanding of the power of words, storytelling and the importance of shaping engaging and meaningful conversations. Kate's commitment to empowering individuals shines through her insightful conversations and her ability to ask the right questions. Her expertise will guide our discussions and ensure that we explore every topic thoroughly, leaving no stone unturned.

Together, Kate and I are committed to delivering thought-provoking content that resonates with you and inspires you. We will invite experts, professionals, and individuals with lived experiences to join us as we explore the challenges faced by many in our community. By sharing their stories, insights, and strategies for success, we hope to inspire you to take action, make positive changes in your own lives, and contribute to the betterment of our community.

Mark your calendars! New episodes will be released on the second Thursday of every month, allowing you to tune in regularly and stay up to date with the latest conversations and insights. Each episode promises to bring you compelling stories, expert advice, and thought-provoking discussions that will leave you inspired, informed, and ready to make a difference.

I invite you to join us on this incredible journey as we navigate the complexities of our world, seek out solutions, and discover the incredible strength that lies within our community. Together, we can create a positive impact, make a difference, and stand strong—because we are truly stronger together.
