Stepping Up: Feeling the fear and doing it anyway

Profile of an activist, volunteer and mother - Nicqui Yazdi. Sally's conversation with Nicqui covers broad terrain from how she came to train as a mental health counsellor, setting up youth support programmes, in particular Byron Schoolies Hub, the lesson she learned from Richard Branson, and the gratitude she feels for all her years of giving, as it has given her so much healing in return. Nicqui has an unwavering belief in service and that "everyone has something to give".
