The Rural Wellness Podcast

For someone who doesn't have kids or have breast fed I loved this episode with lactation consultant Caroline Maxwell. I learnt so much from her and I believe everyone who is thinking of trying to conceive, or who is pregnant or a new Mum struggling to breast feed should give todays episode a listen to and learn more about breast feeding, what a lactation consultant does and how they may be able to help you.

With many states coming out of lockdowns straight into a busy time of year we have gone from zero to one hundred in a very short time. I think we need to be reflecting on our values and saying no more to prevent burn out. I am excited to have Tracy on todays episode talk more about burnout and how we can live a life in more alignment to our values, purpose and what brings us happiness.

You can tell Im a little excited when I am talking to Bianca from Our Cow. I love farming businesses who support other farmers but also creating a product that is beneficial for our health. 

Bianca and her partner David founded Our Cow in 2019 after facing some tough times in the first two years of buying their farm. They faced a series of fires, floods and devastating droughts. It was during these challenging times, their idea of Our Cow came to life. Realising how widespread and strong the support for farmers and the rural community was, it was here the idea for Our Cow begun. It was their vision to create a connection between farmers & the people who purchase their food. This is the driving force and inspiration of Our Cow from its early beginnings to today.
