<i>The utterly inspirational story behind one of our country's most superb<br/>journalists. To have played even the tiniest of roles in helping to ignite Lisa's<br/>early fire for journalism gives me more joy than she will ever know.</i> - <i>LISA WILKINSON</i><br/><br/>Lisa Millar has spent her whole life showing up, getting things done and<br/>making things happen. As a child growing up in country Queensland, she<br/>dreamed of a big life. Working as a foreign correspondent gave her that, but it<br/>also meant confronting the worst that humanity can bring. Three decades as<br/>a journalist witnessing tragedy had a cost. And an ever-escalating fear of<br/>flying threatened to rob her of her ability to work at all.<br/><br/>For that young girl from small-town Kilkivan, who had to push herself to<br/>keep going, push herself to conquer fear, push herself to tell important stories,<br/>finally came the realisation that sometimes all we really need is what we<br/>already have. And she shows us that we are all stronger and more resilient<br/>than we give ourselves credit for if we just dare to let ourselves fly.
