Questions & Coffee with the Professionals

What would you ask a family lawyer, a financial adviser and a speechie if they were sitting right across from you?
Now’s your chance.

Join us for Questions & Coffee, a relaxed catch up with Kirsty as your host. You’ll hear from three women who are absolute experts in their fields (and who also happen to be wonderful humans). They are also some of our wonderful sponsors, who help us improve the lives of mums every day. Come along to get to know them a little better and learn how they can support you and your family.

Meet our experts:

💗 Danielle Forward, Head of Family Law, Australian Family Lawyers Manly
Separation and divorce, parenting arrangements, child support, property settlement, mediation and more. Danielle leads the Brisbane Bayside office and has practised exclusively in family law for the past 10 years.

💗 Rachael Ooi, Principal Financial Adviser, Your Wealth Consultants, Wynnum
Personal, tailored financial planning for growing families, including budgeting, mortgages, insurance, kids’ education, investing and super. Rachael’s approach is honest, creative and built around each client’s unique journey.

💗 Kate Ledingham, Director of Speechcare, Wynnum/Carina/Daisy Hill/Northside
Speech pathology and communication support for learning, literacy, feeding, social connection and sensory needs. Kate is a neurodiversity-affirming speech pathologist, community advocate and proud mum of two.

How it works:
Grab a coffee and settle in. Our experts will introduce themselves, then it’s over to you. Ask your questions and get great general advice from the professionals. If you’d like to take things further or need advice specific to your situation, they’ll share how to book a private chat.
