<p>At 18 years old, Kate Seselja walked into a pokie room for the first time.</p><p>What started as a night out with friends quickly became a secret battle that would consume the next 12 years of her life.</p><p>Over that time, Kate lost approximately $500,000 through refinanced mortgages, credit cards, and years of gambling losses. Alongside the financial toll came overwhelming shame, secrecy, and a desperate search for help that simply wasn't there. Despite countless attempts to stop, gambling addiction tightened its grip.</p><p>Kate eventually found herself in such a dark place that she contemplated ending her life. Then she discovered she was pregnant with her sixth child. Knowing that any decision she made would also affect the life she was carrying, she couldn't go through with it. In what had become her darkest chapter, her unborn baby became the reason she held on — and the turning point that would lead her toward recovery, advocacy, and hope.</p><p>But this is not where her story ends.</p><p>In this powerful conversation, Kate shares the reality of gambling harm, the devastating impact it has on families, the stigma that keeps so many suffering in silence, and why she believes the burden of responsibility cannot sit entirely with those struggling with addiction. Real change, she says, requires governments, regulators and the gambling industry to step up and do more to protect vulnerable Australians.</p><p>Today, Kate is a speaker, advocate, author, TEDx speaker, and founder of The Hope Project, helping others move from surviving to thriving. She speaks openly about mental wellbeing, resilience, recovery, and the changes needed to protect future generations from gambling harm.</p><p>This conversation is raw, courageous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful.</p><p>Because when we bring our stories into the light, shame loses its power.</p><p>🎙️ Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.</p><p>📖 Kate's new book is available for pre-order.</p><p>💜 Learn more about The Hope Project.</p><p>✍️ Support the campaign calling for mandatory poker machine loss limits across Australia.</p><p>Links below.</p><p><a href="https://www.thehopeprojectaustralia.com.au/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.thehopeprojectaustralia.com.au/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio</a></p><p><a href="https://www.change.org/p/losslimitsnotlostlives-enforce-loss-limits-on-all-australian-poker-machines/actions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.change.org/p/losslimitsnotlostlives-enforce-loss-limits-on-all-australian-poker-machines/actions</a></p>
