I never thought I'd love this life as much as I do.
And I also never expected it to feel so hard.
In this episode, I open up about the emotional tug-of-war so many farm wives experience — the reality that you can love your life on the farm and still hate the parts of it that leave you feeling lonely, overlooked, and completely exhausted.
I share what life looked like for us in the early years with three boys under four, how I carried the load through drought, newborns, and endless solo parenting, and how I finally stopped pretending it was all fine.
You’ll hear honest stories about missing milestones, crying in hospital alone, resenting wet towels on the floor, and the mindset shifts that helped me stop bottling it all up.
I also talk about the little changes that made a big difference — from bundling the kids up to take dinner to the paddock, to finally having those hard conversations with my husband about what we needed as a family.
And I share the unexpected gifts in it all — the flexibility the farm actually gives us, and the privilege of being able to show up for our kids in ways not every family can.
This is a vulnerable one, but it’s real. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Is this what I signed up for?” while still feeling proud of the life you’ve built — you’re not alone.
✨ You’re not doing it wrong if it feels hard. You’re just being honest.

Winter has arrived with a bang here on the farm—frosty mornings, short days, and that bone-deep cold that makes everything feel just a little bit harder. But this year, it feels a little easier than it has in the past. I think that’s because I’ve been paying attention to the small things—the simple comforts and routines that are helping me stay grounded and get through this season with a bit more ease.
In this episode, I’m sharing the five things that are helping me through this cold farm winter. These aren’t big, fancy solutions—they’re real, everyday things like the slow cooker bubbling away in the kitchen, a crackling fire (even if I forget to keep it going), warm clothes from the dryer, and the moments I get to be present for my boys, whether it's at the library or the sidelines of their footy games.
I also chat about how this winter feels different—how the cold set in fast, but my routines and rhythms are making all the difference.
Whether you’re a rural woman navigating a busy farm season or a mum just trying to keep the house warm and the kids fed, I hope this episode encourages you to take a moment and notice what’s helping you get through the season too.
In this episode I share:

Episode Summary:
Winter is well and truly here on the farm, and while Stephen complains the second it gets cold, I actually love the slower pace, the warm mugs of coffee, and the chance to reflect. In this episode, I give you a behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening on our dairy farm right now — from breeding season and weaning calves, to prepping our new block and making tough feed decisions as the weather turns.
But the second half of the episode is where things really heat up. After one of my recent reels about milk prices went unexpectedly viral, I had a flood of comments and questions about how dairy farmers are actually paid. So today, I’m answering those questions — openly and honestly.
I break down how the dairy code of conduct works, what “milk solids” really are, and why most dairy farmers supply the big companies (spoiler: we often don’t have another choice). I also explain why selling our own milk sounds simple but would cost millions, and how you can make informed choices to support Australian farmers at the supermarket.
Whether you’ve been around dairy your whole life or are just curious about what’s in your fridge, this episode brings clarity, real-life context, and a reminder that every litre of milk starts with a farmer.

💛 If this episode helps you understand our industry a little better or makes you feel more connected to where your food comes from, I’d love if you shared it with a friend or on your stories.
Some days feel heavy — not because you’re doing life wrong, but simply because life is hard. And that’s something we don’t say often enough.
In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what it means to sit in the hard seasons without guilt, pressure, or pretending. Whether it’s endless laundry, school holiday chaos, or just the daily grind of farm life, I want to remind you that you’re not failing — you’re human.
We talk about the pressure to romanticise your life (hello sourdough and glass jar laundry liquids), why high-achieving women often push through without pausing to celebrate what they’ve already overcome, and how learning to say “this is hard” might be the strongest thing we can do — not just for ourselves, but for our kids too.
🎧 Listen to this episode if you need a reminder that you're not weak for feeling worn out — you're strong for showing up anyway.

Mother’s Day isn’t always the joyful, relaxing celebration it’s made out to be. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the pressure, disappointment, and hidden challenges so many of us mums quietly carry on a day that’s supposed to be “all about us.”
Let’s be honest — the expectations are huge. We’re meant to feel appreciated and pampered, but often, it’s us mums who are still organising the day, juggling the kids, and trying to make it special… for everyone else. Meanwhile, our kids don’t really know the difference between Mother’s Day and a Tuesday. We say we want a break, but even asking for that can feel like a big ask.
And then there’s social media. We scroll through highlight reels of families smiling in perfectly clean homes, posting about heartfelt cards and fancy breakfasts. But we’re not seeing the chaos behind the scenes, the meltdowns, or the fact that sometimes we receive a gift while sitting in a trashed kitchen. It becomes another day for comparison — and the feeling that somehow, we’re not doing it right.
Mother’s Day tries to squeeze all the recognition and gratitude for motherhood into one overly commercialised day. But what if we don’t feel seen? What if we feel let down? I’ve had so many conversations with mums who feel quietly hurt by the way this day plays out — and no one talks about it out loud.
In this episode, I reflect on:

In this episode of Cultivate Contentment, I’m opening up about a week that didn’t go to plan—and the truth about motivation. From a flooded bathroom and piles of laundry to the reality of slipping habits and cold dark mornings, I’m sharing why motivation alone doesn’t keep us going, and what I’m leaning on instead. If you’ve ever known what’s good for you but still couldn’t bring yourself to do it, this one’s for you.
We’ll talk about the emotional toll of disrupted routines, why doing the basics can feel impossible, and how I’m using small, practical steps to get back on track. You’ll also hear how the changing seasons and our own internal cycles can affect our energy, and why we need to stop expecting ourselves to operate at 100% all month long. Because motivation isn’t what drives us—it’s movement, habits, grace, and starting small.
Key Points Covered in this episode:
What happens when routines fall apart during busy seasons
The story of our flooded bathroom and how I’m still avoiding the mess
How my health goals got derailed by Easter chocolate and farm life
Why knowing what helps doesn’t make it easier to do
How our energy shifts with our hormonal cycle—and how I’m learning to plan around it
The impact of daylight savings and seasonal change on motivation
Practical ways I’m adding movement and sunlight into my day again
The list my personal trainer gave me to get back into good habits (without burning out)
A reminder that you don’t need motivation—you just need to start small

Ever fall into bed at night thinking, "Where did the day even go?" I used to feel that way all the time. Between kids, cows, and the chaos of farm life, it felt impossible to get even a few moments to myself. But everything shifted when I started to really look at where my time was going—and in today’s episode, I’m walking you through the 3 effective steps I took to budget my time better and finally make room for myself in the day.
These steps aren’t complicated, but they’ve been game changers: first, I started tracking my time in 15-minute blocks to see where the day was actually going. Then I focused on protecting those little pockets of time once I’d found them (which meant setting boundaries, even with my husband!). And finally, I gave myself permission to embrace unstructured time—not every moment has to be productive. If you’ve been craving a bit more space in your day, I hope this chat feels like a breath of fresh air.

If you’ve ever felt like your kids' rooms are a never-ending mess of toys, clothes, and random treasures—they are. And you’re definitely not alone.
In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I managed my boys’ rooms from the newborn stage right up to tweens. From overflowing ball pits and tractors in the lounge room, to gamer desks and drum kits taking over their bedrooms, this episode is a real look at how our spaces changed as they grew.
I’m sharing what worked, what didn’t, and all the little lessons I’ve learned in between. Whether you’re setting up a nursery, navigating toddler toy explosions, or dealing with the chaos of tech and sports gear, I hope this gives you some ideas—and reassurance—that there’s no perfect system, just what works for your family.
Because whether you’ve got baby socks or basketball shoes lying around, every stage of motherhood brings its own version of mess—and a whole lot of memories.

In this episode, I sat down with Angie Armstrong—a woman whose journey from a small family farm in the rolling green hills of the Yarra Valley to the rugged outback has been nothing short of transformative. Fifteen years ago, a chance encounter between a city IT consultant and a fourth-generation Nyngan farmer set Angie on a path that would eventually see her trade the urban hustle for the challenges and rewards of outback life. She took a leap of faith, evolving her self-taught hospitality skills from launching The Cocky’s Wife—an innovative venture that brought bespoke event catering and a gourmet café to outback NSW—into creating a truly unique luxury agritourism experience at Callubri Station.
During our chat, Angie opened up about the real-life challenges of starting from scratch—taking the leap into agritourism with no prior farming experience—and how that decision reshaped her life. We discussed the delicate balance of managing motherhood while running a demanding business, and how working hand-in-hand with her husband Mike has not only kept the business thriving but also strengthened their bond. Angie’s insights into merging authentic rural living with modern luxury, like the innovative Sky Suites crafted from repurposed shipping containers, offer a refreshing perspective on how to connect urban visitors with the heart of the Australian outback. This conversation is a must-listen if you're curious about overcoming obstacles, embracing new challenges, and finding that authentic connection between city life and rural roots.

Have you ever had one of those weeks where it feels like every decision—big or small—rests on your shoulders? That was me recently when my son was sick. From deciding whether to call the doctor, figuring out if he needed to stay home from school, juggling farm work, and keeping everything else running, it felt like every choice came with weight and consequence. It made me realize just how many decisions we make as farm wives and rural mums every single day—often without even thinking about it. And when those choices start piling up, it can feel completely overwhelming.
In this episode, I’m diving into why decision-making feels so heavy and how we can take the pressure off. We talk about the mental load of constantly weighing up trade-offs, the fear of making the “wrong” choice, and why it’s so easy to second-guess ourselves. I also share the importance of trusting our gut and instinct—because deep down, we often do know what the right decision is, but we let doubt and outside opinions creep in. I walk through practical ways to simplify decision-making, silence external noise, and affirm your choices with confidence—so you can move forward without the stress of overthinking.
If you’ve been feeling the weight of too many decisions lately, this episode is for you. I hope it gives you permission to trust yourself, listen to your gut, and make choices that align with what truly matters.
Making decisions doesn’t have to feel so heavy. This episode will help you take the pressure off and start making choices with more confidence and contentment.

Raising kids rurally comes with its own set of unique challenges—many of which I didn’t even think about before having kids! In this episode, I’m sharing the top three challenges I’ve faced as a rural mum and how I’ve managed to overcome them. From dealing with limited access to medical services, helping my kids navigate feelings of loneliness, to the never-ending battle with muddy boots and laundry, I know I’m not alone in these struggles.
As rural mums, we often have to get creative and find our own ways of making things work, whether that’s scheduling multiple appointments on one trip into town or setting rules (that don’t always get followed!) to keep the mess under control. By the end of the episode, I hope you’ll feel reassured that these challenges are normal, and that with a little preparation, we can all find ways to overcome them while raising happy, healthy kids in rural communities.
Limited Access to Medical Services: One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced raising kids rurally is the limited access to medical services. Finding a GP you can consistently see is difficult, and wait times can be long—sometimes up to 10 weeks! I’ve learned the importance of booking appointments well in advance, especially when you have kids with ongoing health needs like asthma. In this episode, I talk about how I’ve built a strong relationship with our local GP and how I manage trips to the city for specialists by scheduling multiple appointments in one day. Telehealth has been a lifesaver for us, allowing us to avoid unnecessary travel for routine checkups. I also touch on the reality of long waitlists for pediatricians and other specialists and share tips on how to stay organized and prepared to make it all just a little easier.
Dealing with Feelings of Loneliness for Kids: Living rurally can be isolating for kids. With fewer nearby friends and limited opportunities for spontaneous playdates, it can be tough for them to feel connected. In this episode, I discuss how I’ve worked to combat those feelings of loneliness by creating strong family traditions at home, like pizza nights or game nights, to keep us all connected. I also make a big effort to get my boys involved in sports and social activities, even though that means spending a lot of time in the car driving to town. I talk about the reality of rural mums becoming part-time taxi drivers and how screen time, like Minecraft, has become a way for my kids to stay connected with their friends online, while balancing outdoor activities and family time.
Constant Muddy Boots and Dirty Clothes: If there’s one thing rural mums can all relate to, it’s the constant muddy boots and dirty clothes! Between outdoor play, farm chores, and the unpredictability of wet weather, it feels like the washing machine is always running. In this episode, I share the systems I’ve put in place to manage the chaos—like setting up a “no shoes past the front door” rule (even though it doesn’t always get followed!) and having separate ‘farm clothes’ and ‘town clothes.’ I also talk about how overclothes and waterproof coveralls have helped reduce outfit changes during messy days. But let’s be real—it always comes back to laundry, which I’m convinced is never-ending when you have boys! I give some tips on how I’ve tried to stay on top of it, including involving the kids in laundry routines, accepting that the washing will never truly be done, and finding a system that works for you.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Hayley Grosser, a dedicated money mindset coach who helps farmers transform their relationship with money. We dove deep into how our beliefs about money can either hold us back or propel us toward abundant farm living. Hayley shared her personal journey—from her background in accounting and property valuation to starting a mixed farming operation with her husband—and how she discovered that even when you have your numbers in order, a negative money mindset can block success. Together, we explored how shifting to a positive money mindset not only improves cash flow but also creates more opportunities for growth on the farm.
We also discussed the unique challenges farmers face with debt and the stress it can cause, especially when it becomes intertwined with family dynamics and generational beliefs. I loved hearing Hayley’s insights on reframing debt as "support money" and the importance of celebrating the good years to counterbalance past financial traumas. If you're looking to cultivate a positive money mindset and embrace a more abundant approach to farming, this episode is packed with practical tips and heartfelt conversation that I hope inspires you as much as it did me.

Welcome back to another episode of Cultivate Contentment! In this autumn update, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at life on our farm during this warm season. With unseasonably hot weather, we’ve been dealing with everything from calving challenges in the shed to balancing family life as a busy sports mum. We’re halfway through autumn calving, with almost 600 cows coming through the dairy each day. I also share how we’re keeping up with crop sowing and managing the unpredictable corn harvest, all while trying to keep the kids' soccer gear ready for games.
In this episode, I also dive into a few tractor mishaps, the mental and physical load of being a rural sports mum, and how juggling it all is no easy task—but worth it. Whether you’re a fellow farmer, parent, or just curious about the daily hustle of farm life, you’ll get a taste of how we keep things running smoothly (most of the time!) despite the challenges that come our way.

The Break I Didn’t Plan, and the Lessons I Didn’t Expect
Episode Summary:
After an unplanned break from the podcast, I’m finally back, and today I want to fill you in on where I’ve been and what I’ve learned during my time away. Life got busy in all the best—and most unexpected—ways, and I found myself needing to step back and focus on my family, the farm, and my own well-being. In this episode, I’m sharing the lessons I didn’t expect to learn during this break. I’ll talk about how I had to let go of perfectionism, embrace the fact that things weren’t going to go as planned, and find contentment in the chaos of it all.
You’ll hear updates from my summer break, including family adventures, personal growth, and the challenges I faced getting back into my routine. From attending the Australian Dairy Conference to speaking at the Gippsland Red Meat Conference, the past few months have been a whirlwind of experiences. Most importantly, I’m talking about how I’ve had to reset my expectations and give myself the grace to move forward, even when it feels hard. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by unrealistic standards or struggled to get back into the swing of things, this episode is for you.

Episode Summary: As we reach the end of the year, everything just seems to hit all at once—school’s out, Christmas is looming, and farm work doesn’t slow down. If you’re like me, you’re feeling the weight of it all, and maybe even a bit guilty for not being able to enjoy the holiday season as much as you think you “should.” The end-of-year overwhelm is real, and I want you to know that we’re all feeling it. This time of year, it’s easy to think everyone else has it all together, but trust me, they don’t.
In this episode, I’m getting raw and real about how chaotic this season is for so many of us mums. From the Christmas tree still not being up, to forgetting to move the elf for days on end—none of us are thriving right now, and that’s okay. I’ll be sharing how I’ve been managing (or barely managing) through the stress, and offering up some tips that have helped me keep my head above water. Let’s stop pretending we’re coping and start admitting that it’s hard—because it is. Together, we can make it through this season without completely losing it.

In this summer update, I share some exciting news from the farm – we’ve just bought a new property! After months of searching, we found the perfect block right across the river from our home farm.

In this episode of Cultivate Contentment, I dive into the constant pressure we face to add more to our lives—more activities, more responsibilities, more things—thinking it will bring us happiness or fulfillment. But as rural women, wives, and mothers, is more truly the answer, or does it just lead to more overwhelm and burnout? I share my personal experiences of juggling farm life, motherhood, and the endless to-do lists that seem to grow every day. She asks the tough question: What if we stopped trying to do it all and embraced the idea that what we already have is enough?
We explore how this mindset of "more is better" not only affects our own lives but also spills over into our children's schedules. Many of us push our kids into too many activities, fearing they'll miss out on opportunities or fall behind, but I challenge this notion. Is filling their days with constant busyness really benefiting them, or is it just adding stress to everyone involved? This episode encourages you to reflect on whether you’re doing more out of obligation or genuine desire and how embracing "enough" can lead to deeper contentment in family life and beyond.

In this episode of Cultivate Contentment, I dive into what Christmas looks like on our farm and how it has evolved over the years. While Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year, it comes with its own unique set of challenges, especially when you're juggling farm life and family expectations. I used to put a lot of pressure on myself to create the perfect holiday for my boys, but over time, I’ve learned to let go of that impossible standard and focus more on the meaningful moments.
Christmas on a farm is far from the idyllic snowy scenes you see in movies—it's hot, cows still need milking, and the work doesn’t stop just because it’s a holiday. In this episode, I reflect on the changes I’ve made to celebrate the season without letting the pressure take away the joy. From gift-giving strategies to finding time to enjoy the day amidst the farm chores, I share my personal journey of simplifying Christmas and making it work for our family in a way that feels right.
