What happens when a little girl collecting bush fruits in outback New South Wales, not knowing she was poor, just knowing she was rich in country, grows up to launch the first-ever Australian Native Food Festival and win the most prestigious trailblazer award in the industry? You get Sharon Winsor. In this extraordinary conversation, Sharon joins Tawnya Bahr to tell her story with radical honesty: the stillbirth that cracked her open at 21, the domestic violence that nearly took her life, the government consultant who told her bush foods would "never belong on a plate in a restaurant," and the quiet, relentless determination that built Indigiearth into something far bigger than a food business. This is an episode about food sovereignty, cultural responsibility, and what it actually means to give back not once a year during Reconciliation Week, but every single day.
