Author Talk: Catherine Ashton - Mornington Library

Next date: Saturday, 06 December 2025 | 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM

In Dreams & Determination, Women Changing the World Press brings together 24 inspiring women who refused to let fear, expectations, or uncertainty hold them back.

Among them is award-winning social entrepreneur Catherine Ashton, founder and CEO of Critical Info, whose story of resilience and purpose has already touched thousands of Australians.

Join Catherine for a one-hour author talk as she shares how surviving a serious car accident and the sudden death of a close friend propelled her to create Critical Info, a certified social enterprise transforming how we plan for life, death and everything in between.

With honesty and warmth, Catherine will reveal how the power of vision, courage and persistence can turn even life’s hardest moments into a legacy of change.

Whether you’re seeking motivation to chase your own ambitions or curious about Catherine’s ground-breaking work in death literacy and end-of-life planning, this uplifting session will leave you inspired to ask, "What if I go all in on my dream?".

Books will be available for purchase and signing on the day.

Free, bookings essential.
