Faith, Family & a Huntsman Spider: An Aussie Grandmother’s Unexpected Journey

Written By Denise Mira

In this beautiful conversation, I sit down with my dear friend of over 30 years—an Australian mother of 4, grandmother of 5 (and counting!), and now a self-published children’s book author.

We talk about her unexpected journey into writing a full-color illustrated book series about an adventurous Australian huntsman spider—and how this creative endeavor is helping her pass on truth, courage, and curiosity to the next generation.

Together, we explore the unique power of Christian faith in both parenting and grandparenting, the joy and responsibility of legacy, and how the “second chapter” of life is ripe for purpose and creativity.

Whether you’re a mom in the trenches or a grandmother dreaming about what’s next, this episode will encourage you to dream big, walk boldly in faith, and see your influence in a whole new light.

🎧 Tune in—you’ll leave inspired, challenged, and reminded that it’s never too late to make an impact.
