Workbook
For Australian Families
Building Connection in a Country That Rewards Independence
The backyard BBQ is not the whole story. This workbook is for the rest of it.
Australian families of any configuration — traditional, blended, multicultural, regional, urban, multigenerational — who want to understand and document what their family identity actually is: the values they hold, the history they carry, the relationships that define them, and what they are building together.
The Name It First Experience
Australian families carry one of the world's most specific cultural identities: shaped by the bush legend, the convict heritage, the immigrant waves that transformed the country, and the ongoing relationship with First Nations people and land. But underneath the national mythology is a real family — with its own story, its own conflicts, its own values, and its own version of what it means to be Australian. This workbook examines what Australian families actually live with: the specific history and heritage of the family itself, the Australian values the family holds and the ones it questions, the relationships that hold the family together across distance and time, and what the next generation will inherit. Document the real family — not the one the Australia Day ad imagines.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What name would you give your family's specific identity — the real one, not the Australia Day ad version?
- What pattern do you notice in the values your family holds — the ones you chose together and the ones you inherited?
- What would you put in the documentation of your real family — the history, the conflicts, the values, and what the next generation will inherit?
