Jas Rawlinson knows the power of a story…
Growing up in a tiny mountain valley in NSW, she lived an enviable, picture-perfect life, riding horses, playing in the bush, and helping on the family’s blueberry farm.
But behind closed doors, life was very different. By 18, she was barely hanging on, and long after, she hit rock bottom.
It was here that she faced the hardest decision of all: give up, or grit her teeth and grow.
Today, Jas is an award-winning speaker, best-selling author, and one of Australia’s leading voices in domestic violence prevention and survivor advocacy.
From founding Brisbane’s first domestic violence memorial, to investigating human trafficking and swimming with sharks on reality TV, Jas’ message is clear:
"Trauma doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Own your story — all of it. Because when you share it with others, you don’t just heal yourself. You change the world, one story at a time."
