LYNNE CAZALY

In this episode, we speak with workplace expert Lynne Cazaly. She is a consultant, future work expert, international speaker and award winning author. She is also an advocate for women letting go of perfectionism and instead learning to be just good enough.

LIZ BRENNAN

In this episode we hear from Liz Brennan who speaks about how she first became interested in food systems while living in Papua New Guinea, the importance of diversifying and how to feel empowered by your choice to live regionally, instead of feeling hindered by it. 

NIKKI DAVEY

In this episode we talk about the reality of startups and that most fail. Sometimes you can even have the market fit, a brilliant founder and a popular platform... and things still don't work out.

RURAL WOMEN LEAD COLLAB SERIES PART 1: JESSICA FISHBURN

This is the beginning of a 3-part mini series on leadership: focusing on self, story and change. In this episode, focusing on ‘self’, we speak to Jessica Fishburn, a women’s health physiotherapist and Director at Gen Health, in Hamilton, VIC.

DR BRIDGET CLANCY & REBECCA BRADSHAW

In this episode we talk about the perception that rural healthcare means second-best or second-rate. Whereas the opposite is actually true. Rural medical students often out-perform their city-based counterparts on standardised tests.

CATHERINE MARRIOTT & KIRSTEN DIPROSE

Agriculture isn’t just the act of growing crops or tending to the animals, as the dictionary likes to define it. It’s actually a complex system …which impacts and is impacted by a variety of things from government regulation, people, climate change, politics and so much more.

EMILY KING

Tea tree oil and nanotechnology for fly strike and foot-rot resistant sheep…. These are just some of the exciting innovations happening in agriculture. But how do you lift an entire sector or industry? It’s not always easy in farming when most of us work alone or with family.

LEXIE LEONARD

Owning a home these days is hard enough, so what about building your own farm from scratch? Dr Lexie Leonard is a vet, an animal health trainer and a farmer who is building her own farming business alongside her husband and their young children in Balmoral, Victoria.

RACHAEL MCGRATH

Women have a powerful voice in agriculture, but would you call it equal to men? In Australia, there are more than 88,000 women working in agriculture across multiple industries. The numbers are growing, but women only make up one third of the overall ag workforce.

TARA MCGRATH-WEST & BEC MALSEED

Chances are, when you were growing up, the idea of becoming a professional female footballer or even a female footy umpire for men’s games… was simply impossible. But NOW, it is.

REBECCA SAUNDERS & PAIGE CROSS

If you’ve spent a decade or more building a professional career - the idea of starting a business might seem out of reach. But you have plenty of skills already, in fact you are probably REALLY good at a couple of things… that people will actually pay you for.

MARION SAUNDERS & OLIVIA THWAITES

Clothing is not trivial, it’s actually an expression of self. This episode is not about needing to look like a supermodel or spend ridiculous amounts of money on clothes (gosh, there’s enough pressure on us as women to do that already!).

MALINDA GUEST & KATJA WILLIAMS

There are suggestions that Australia is in the middle of a loneliness epidemic; in fact one in three people experience it. Country towns are pretty good at welcoming people in, but making close, meaningful relationships takes time and it takes effort.

LOUISE O’NEILL

How do we get our men to actively participate in a stand to stop violence against women?  This is a tricky conversation. Clearly, it would be great if men just stop being violent. But telling men to simply ‘stop it,’ isn’t working.

LEILA MCDOUGALL

With gender roles for men not being as defined as perhaps they once were, what does this mean for our rural men who grew up with certain ideas of 'what a man should look like?'

KELLY BARNES & CHRISSY SYMEONAKIS

Being diagnosed with a chronic illness is a massive change. And most people who have experienced this, speak about a grieving process for your old life and even your old identity, especially if it was based on being physically active.

KRYSTIE HOLLEY, HEATHER BALDOCK & DANNA KASSEBAUM

There’s this persistent notion that starting up a retail store in the main street of town is just too hard. From the high rents, cost of living crisis, to the relatively low foot traffic in country towns, finding a physical space to sell things, the ‘ye olde way’ can seem impossible.

ANGIE ARMSTRONG & NATALIE EGLETON

It’s important for community projects and local businesses to come from the bottom up. It’s the people on the ground who know what’s actually needed and how to best deliver it. But so many grants and programs are top-down.

JOSEPHINE CROFT

She’s a film producer and actor, based in Melbourne, but is part of a movement that’s making film more accessible to women. This includes job sharing on film sets, shorter hours and looking after the mental health of film crews.

Is parenting on a farm different to parenting in the city? What are our farm kids missing out on...
