Married to the Land

Navigating Grief, Motherhood & the Farm with Kimmie Cameron


Listen Later

Kimmie Cameron, a rural mother, grazier, and The Rural Dietitian. Kimmie’s journey is one of resilience, love, and finding purpose through both heartbreak and opportunity.

Growing up in Western Queensland, Kimmie’s career took her into the world of nutrition and dietetics, where she built a name for herself in regional health. But after moving to New England, NSW, and marrying her husband Sando, her life took on new challenges—juggling motherhood, rural life, and eventually, navigating immense personal loss.

In 2022, Kimmie and Sando lost their daughter Pippa to stillbirth at 36+4 weeks, an event that deeply shaped their family’s story. Through grief, growth, and courage, Kimmie has used her experience to help rural women through The Rural Dietitian, providing accessible nutrition support for mums juggling farm life, family, and their own well-being.


In this episode, we dive into:
The transition from a thriving career in dietetics to life on the land
The realities of rural motherhood and the grief of losing a child
How Kimmie and her husband navigated loss while keeping their family strong
The courage to start over and build The Rural Dietitian
How rural women can prioritise their health without the overwhelm

Finding balance in farm life, business, and family

This episode is raw, heartfelt, and deeply inspiring. Kimmie’s story is a reminder of the strength found in rural women, the importance of open conversations around loss and resilience, and why supporting one another is more crucial than ever.
