About Cath Stoney


I'm Cath Stoney; author, speaker, workshop facilitator and women's advocate. I help women and teens recognise relationship red flags, understand their boundaries and make confident choices without losing who they are.

“Honest conversations can change lives, and reconnecting with yourself is a powerful place to begin.”

My work draws on lived experience and more than a decade of helping children and young adults build resilience, independence and life skills. I believe honest conversations can change lives, and that reconnecting with yourself is a powerful place to begin.I'm also a creative entrepreneur, lover of colour and all things art, proud mother of four sons and grandmother of two grandsons. Away from work, you'll find me spending time in nature, on horseback, travelling or enjoying Victoria's High Country with friends.

The One Red Flag

That Changes the Way You See Your Relationships

Written with my 16-year-old self in mind, this book helps you recognise the difference between a respectful relationship and one shaped by pressure, control or manipulation.Through relatable examples and practical reflection, you'll explore the warning signs we often explain away, discover what someone's response to your boundaries reveals, and learn to trust your own judgement.Whether you're beginning a relationship, questioning an existing one or supporting someone you love, these pages invite you to pause, gain clarity and choose relationships in which you can thrive.

Confident choices and healthier relationships without losing yourself.

Good things grow through connection.

I love connecting people, with themselves, with one another and with opportunities that bring fresh ideas to life. Here, I share the people, groups, businesses and places I’m connecting with through my writing, events and community work. These connections reflect a shared interest in learning, wellbeing, creativity and stronger communities. If you see an opportunity for us to work together, I’d love to hear from you.
