Episode 10: That’s a Wrap

In this concluding episode, Kathy interviews her husband, Joe Hoolahan, about their 11,000-kilometre, 6-month long journey across Australia to reconnect with the most pivotal figures from her past. Kathy and Joe talk about the highs and lows of their individual experiences, as well as their shared recognition that, sometimes, issues simply cannot be “fixed.” In such a scenario, it’s often best to simply be emotionally present for another person, particularly during the most difficult and crucial parts of their life. The couple also discuss the most challenging aspects of this entire process, including Kathy’s struggle to emotionally prepare for each encounter since reactions and responses were quite unpredictable. In this episode, Kathy expresses gratitude to those in her "invisible village," most especially to her husband, Joe, for the space he gave her despite her turbulent emotions during this trip.

Episode 09: Nothing To Lose

In this poignant episode, Kathy takes us on a journey through the vast landscapes of Western Australia, reflecting on her life as she travels over 11,000 kilometres from the East Coast to the West Coast. The setting is Esperance, a rainy and cold day that offers a quiet backdrop for Kathy to share the next chapter of her life. She delves into the surreal experience of travelling on the same road she took as an 11-year-old, sitting beside her father. Memories flicker, connecting her to a pivotal moment almost three decades later when her world would change forever. As Kathy recounts her arrival in Perth, we are intrigued by the uncertainty and excitement of a 16-year-old venturing into a big, unknown city, driven by the belief that when you have nothing to lose, the idea of risk becomes inconsequential. Kathy walks us through her journey of finding shelter with unexpected allies, navigating the challenges of a new school, and the complexities of young love. We then take an emotional turn as Kathy shares an unexpected news, her opportunity to leave Perth given her mother’s surprising yet warm reaction to the news and the journey back to Alice Springs that was filled with uncertainty and anxiety. In this episode, Kathy's storytelling skillfully captures her mix of emotions — gratitude for her invisible village, the sadness of goodbyes, and finally experiencing the unconditional love she has been yearning for. Listen in to witness Kathy's willpower to find love, stability, and belonging shine through.

Episode 08: What Next?

Kathy begins this episode by telling us about a truly pivotal moment in her life when she took it upon herself to face her traumas — sexual assaults she experienced as a young teen. What makes this experience remarkable is the comforting and unwavering presence of the most important person in her invisible village — her husband, Joe. Moreover, Kathy reflects on her life in Alice Springs, from moving out of Matthews Cottage and into a new foster home to risky teenage pursuits with friends to extreme loneliness around the holidays to landing a job at Woolworths and living independently at 16 to making the decision to move to Perth. Kathy was determined to find the love, stability, and sense of belonging she desperately sought. She travels across the country, anxious yet thrilled about this chance to start fresh. This episode will give us a chance to think about our own experiences and traumas and how these have affected the way we live our lives today. Kathy reminds us that dysfunction doesn’t have to be permanent and recognition is the first step toward healing.
