193: Why Emily Bryant filed for divorce just 12 months after saying 'I do'


Listen Later

Emily Bryant lives on a cattle station south of Katherine in the Northern Territory. Career wise, she was on fire in her 20s, moving from station cook to head stockman, to station manager in just a few years. Emily lived and breathed work- she admits she was married to her job. In that time, she fell head over heels with a bloke who she went on to marry. But at just 26, a year after saying 'I do' - she was divorced. So what happened? This isn't a story about a dramatic break up or a scandalous affairs, simply a young woman who made a choice to walk away. The 'D' word is not something we talk much about- but it happens, to many couples. And for Emily, you'll hear why being married to her best friend wasn't enough.. and how hard it was to end things, and face the social isolation and judgement that came with that. And finally... what it was like finding love again...she's now balancing station life with three kids, and a fourth on the way! This is her story.
