I can’t say enough about how amazing, welcoming and incredible @laracon.au was. Thank you @dyrynda.au for allowing me the opportunity to be there! Already counting down the days until 2026!

I haven’t been on here much over the last couple of weeks, but it has once again been my enormous honour, pleasure, and privilege to host you all in Brisbane for @laracon.au May you all take small steps, make big shifts, and find that little extra as you #LevelUp Safe travels!
