Brigid Delaney is no stranger to the act of searching for wellness and cure. Her memoir Wellmania turned into a smash Netflix hit with a stellar cast including Celeste Barber. Alongside all the funny jokes was a poignant search for cure and meaning, subjects she has followed through in Reasons Not to Worry and now with The Seeker and the Sage. In Cure Katherine gives us profound insights on pain, faith, motherhood and love as she follows a mother and daughter as they share the experience of chronic illness and pursuit of a cure. Moderated by Canberra author of The Deed, Susannah Begbie.
Brigid Delaney has worked as a lawyer, journalist, travel writer and screenwriter and, most recently, as a speechwriter for two federal cabinet ministers. She is co-creator and associate producer of the Netflix smash hit Wellmania and wrote the long-running and popular Guardian Australia column 'Brigid Delaney's Diary'. Her previous books include This Restless Life, Wild Things, Wellmania and Reasons Not to Worry, which has been published in North America and the United Kingdom and translated into nineteen languages. She writes 'The Chaos Era with Brigid Delaney' Substack, and lives in Sydney.
