Brooke Boney on lessons from her marriage breakdown

Listen to this episode from Inherited on Spotify. Hi, everyone! Today, we’re joined by Brooke Boney—journalist, broadcaster, and now author. Brooke has just released her debut memoir, All of It, a collection of heartfelt essays that trace her life. In this conversation, Brooke opens up about her early career, what it meant to represent her community on screen, and the courage it took to walk away from a job she loved. She also reminisces on her childhood in rural New South Wales—growing up with five siblings, the sacrifices her mum made, and the moment she opened up to her grandparents about the breakdown of her past marriage. Pick up Brooke’s debut memoir, All of It, right here. Thank you so much to the Victorian Government for supporting this episode of Inherited.
