'Georgie writes about the moments in life when we say, 'It wasn't supposed to be like this' - and then tells us why we must carry on.' - Ella Ward, author
'An amazing look at modern life and how to thrive within it.' - Jacqui Lewis, The Broad Place
From journalist, author and podcaster Georgie Abay, Best Laid Plans is an honest and frank look at how life often plays out like trying to walk in a straight line after ten margaritas.
Prior to founding her own media company (The Grace Tales, a lifestyle platform for mothers) Georgie was the Deputy Editor at Australian Vogue. Over two decades as a journalist, Georgie interviewed hundreds of people from all over the globe and shared their stories, all while living her own personal version of Plan B. What she learnt through her own experience and those candid discussions is that how we choose to deal with life's unexpected twists and turns is what defines us, and resilience is everything.
Featuring myriad stories about life not going according to plan and what comes next, Best Laid Plans explores how to overcome tragedy, embrace failure, and find joy when we suddenly hit life's more challenging moments. Sharing Georgie's personal stories and those of many others, these are warm, empathetic and wise chapters on love, grief, career, motherhood and more, offering insight from well-known personalities such as Australian of the Year Grace Tame, writer Pandora Sykes, entrepreneur Jodie Fox, author Aminata Conteh-Biger and actor Teresa Palmer.
About the Author
An experienced and respected editor, Georgie Abay is the former deputy editor of Australian Vogue. In 2014, she left what was then her dream job at Vogue to chase another dream – becoming an entrepreneur. Georgie launched The Grace Tales, a global lifestyle platform for mothers searching for style, substance, and solidarity with a following of over 96k on Instagram. Driven by creating content, community and connection, The Grace Tales celebrates the paradox of modern motherhood: the struggle and the beauty, the joy and the relentlessness.
When the pandemic unfolded in 2020, Georgie launched The Grace Tales Podcast, which was recently listed in the Top 10 Podcasts for Kids and Family in Australia. Georgie’s greatest passion is storytelling and content creation, and she continues to be inspired by the connections she makes every single day with the women in her community.
