When Kaia Wright fell in love with the croc-wrestling, helicopter-flying, outback wrangler Matt Wright at 24, she had no idea what the next stage of her life would entail. While all her friends were spending their weekends at cafes or the beach, Kaia and her top-end husband Matt were chasing pigs, wrangling crocs or spending time in remote bush camps. By all accounts, Matt and Kaia appeared to have it all. A successful business, a top Netflix show, and two beautiful kids, Dusty and Banjo. But in 2022 a tragic helicopter accident that killed Matt’s co-worker Chris "Willow" Wilson changed the lives of everyone involved. On this episode, Kaia joins me to discuss feeling alone in those first few months of motherhood, why she wings it when it comes to managing kids, what it’s like having a pet crocodile, and how her family has gotten through the hardest two years of their lives. This is her story.
