Welcome to season 2! Gosh- it has been a long time between episodes. In today's episode, you will hear from my wonderful friend, Sarah. From growing up in Brisbane, to now calling Central West Queensland home, her life certainly looks different!

This episode is a solo one, where I give my personal advice of what to look for when searching for a governess job.

Vanessa was a born and bred Adelaide girl, but after a trip to Central Australia, she found herself moving to the Northern Territory to governess. While she is still governessing many years down the track, that doesn’t mean that she has felt like every family has been the right one for her. This is a vulnerable chat and I love that we have had an opportunity to discuss this!
