The actor, talk show host and advocate will be the guest of honour at the latest Wanderlust True North event that will be held at ICC Sydney on August 2 and the Brisbane Convention Centre the following day.

“My life’s journey has been an extraordinary odyssey, and I am absolutely thrilled to share my life story from my triumphs, setbacks, and everything in between in Australia, one of my favourite countries, at Wanderlust True North,” Barrymore, 49, said.

“I’m also thrilled to share the stage and lead the conversation with inspiring celebrities, activists and change makers.

Off camera, she has championed wellness practices, advocated for mental health reducing stigmas and been an advocate for the environment.

“Drew is an icon and loved the world over. It will be two very special nights and we couldn’t think of anyone better to represent our brand who has nourished her life with meditation, mindfulness, manifestation and giving back to people and the planet,” Wanderlust chief executive Charlotte Hill said.

“It’s a pleasure to be able to platform and celebrate an incredible woman at Wanderlust True North, who has impacted so many of us whether on the big screen, on the talk show couch or through her commitment to living her best life.

“Like many women, Drew inspires me to live a more purposeful life by being a conscious shopper, a better mother, adopting a daily practice, enjoying life and having authentic conversations.”
