Faith in My Skin: A Christian Aboriginal Woman’s Story

Welcome back to Raised Women, the podcast where faith, life, and the marketplace collide. In this final episode of our Carrying Culture series, I sit down with my friend Stacey a proud Christian Aboriginal woman, mum, nurse, and an individual of deep conviction to talk about what it really means to carry culture while walking with Christ.

Stacey opens up about her Noongar and Ballardong heritage, her journey into nursing as a solo mum, and the tension of living out her faith while holding onto the beauty of her Aboriginal identity. We talk about spiritual boundaries, raising multicultural children, advocating in the healthcare system, and the power of integrity as a woman of faith.

This is a grounded, honest conversation about being both Christian and Aboriginal, and how Stacey is learning to lead, love, and live from that space.
