Her vulnerability, along with her sensitive and powerful delivery, leaves a lasting impact on her audience. Here's what they say...
“Hard-hitting and thought-provoking and so relevant to the legal industry as well as the medical device industry. So important to encourage us all to reach out if we are struggling, or to anyone around us who may be struggling.”

“I have never felt more understood or could see myself in Peta's story. It really resonated and was a much-needed reminder that my identity is not my job or how well I do.”
“Peta's speech was so relevant to what we do and why we exist.”
“It was a fantastic session; Peta was really honest and raw. Her story was powerful and inspiring. You could tell that she’s a really passionate writer by the way she went through it.
The team asked some great questions. It was great to hear how the Beyond Blue support service has been used by Peta. Tangible examples were beneficial, not just offering the services but sharing specifically how they were used. This is something we will definitely incorporate to our wider teams going forward.
It was a really great addition to our session. Something I think we will all reflect on and keep thinking about. It definitely changed how we conducted the rest of our meeting, relating to each other in a great way.”
-Beyond Blue Premier Partner, Australia Post
“Peta's statements, "What impact do you want to make? This keeps you constantly connected to your values." & "If I let myself run on empty I have to accept there will be consequences". This makes me think of how I can make my own well-being plan more meaningful. Peta was so relatable when she spoke about what anxiety looks like in real life.”
“A lived experience story to begin our meeting with felt very engaging & enriching. Always inspiring to hear someone be brave, show up & say here I am & this is my journey. Super relatable.”
“Her vulnerability at times made the story all the more powerful. I'm happy to hear how her life is more balanced & fulfilling.”
