This Rural Life with Katrina Myers

Today I wanted to riff on something that I think about a lot and it's a piece of the conversation that is often missing. My overall mission in life to support people to live big full lives that light them up! Sometimes we don't talk about the struggle at all. Sometimes we talk about just the struggle and what we need to be talking about is, "yes, there is struggle AND the choices we make really ma...

Happiness can be fleeting and what we really want to be is thriving! Ab...

My guest in this episode of the Rural Rockstar is a little nostalgic, taking me back to my uni days. Chloe Thompson and I met studying agricultural science together many moons ago. Back then, there were three strains to this course - animals, plants, economics - it was the fascinating world of plants that made Chloe's heart sing and it is within this field that she continues to flourish! After tea...

This week on the show I was joined by Julia Greiner. Julia lives on a farm at Coleambally and has created an incredible styling coaching business, Crops and Sequins.

Let me introduce you to the superwoman that is Sarah Keeley - my beautiful guest on the Rural Rockstar this week and the creator of Conscious Calendar Co.

Today I wanted to share a bit more about my journey of creating an online business and how I got to my first 5k months. I get so excited about this topic because I want to show other women what is possible and that they can do this too. To me online business for women represents so much opportunity! You can do it from anywhere and it allows you to have an impact while creating freedom and abundanc...

In today’s episode, I speak with West Australian, Tanya Kitto. Tanya, and her husband Rob, live 100km from their closest hub of Geraldton, and farm of mostly sandy terrian.

Rob and his father were always inspired by human-grade consumption of Lupins, but they weren’t sure how to spread...

It's a very special episode of the Rural Rockstar this week because I am chatting to my fabulous coach and mentor, Suzanne Acteson! Suzanne is tuning in all the way from France and she actually still very much fits the bill of a Rural Rockstar because she resides in the beautiful French country side - 9.5 hours from Paris to be exact. I was so excited to delve into Suzanne’s story of taking the le...

In this episode I chat with Bridget Johns from Be Simply Free.

Which we LOVE. Bridget started her own business after 16 years in a career in government. She created her own bus...

Welcoming another week with another episode of The Rural Rockstar and you'll just have to excuse me on this one because I am in full fan girl mode as I speak to the amazing Georgie Somerset. About 10 years ago, Georgie and I connected via Twitter in the very early days of the platform when it seemed to be a lot more fun! Since then, Georgie has been high on my radar as I continue to admire all the...

Benita and I have so much in common and it was such a joy to speak with her. Like speaking to an old friend.

Another week has rolled around which means another episode of the Rural Rockstar is upon us, and my guest today is the beautiful Kirsten Diprose. If the name sounds familiar, it's probably because Kirsten worked as a TV and radio reporter for the ABC for many years. Kirsten has since hung up the heels and replaced them with working boots and a whole new lifestyle which she now enjoys on a farm in...

Here it is 🎉 Part 3 of my series with Meg- and this time we go down the rabbit hole of resilience. What does it really mean to be ‘resilient’? Is it the person who seems to be able to just cope? The child that never cries, the stoic old farmer? Or is it really far more than that? Have we been missing a very big piece of resilience? In this episode, Meg shares with us her definition of resilience,...

Welcome to the second conversation in my series with Meg Durham on The Rural Rockstar and I must say, it’s an absolute cracker. Today we are unpacking a topic I think we can all admit to struggling with and that is the big C word - CONFIDENCE. What is it, and how the hell to you get it?!Confidence is complex, so it’s no wonder so many women struggle with it. But if there’s a quick take away from t...

Today it’s just me speaking on something I think is essential for survival- and that is self-care. Too often we get caught up thinking self-care is selfish or indulgent. We have negative talk in our heads about taking care of ourselves and we put everyone else's needs ahead of our own. A lot of times we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves, it becomes so lost to us. We are so busy doing t...

On today’s episode of The Rural Rockstar I am speaking with Steph Trethewy from Motherland- a podcast that shares the stories of Rural Mum from across Australia.

In this podcast, I chat to Steph abo...

This week on the podcast I chatted with one of my mentors, Samantha Nolan Smith from The School of Visibility.

Maya grew up with a book in hand, and an eager dream of wanting to one day write a book, however, that dream wasn’t vocalised until Maya had three children and wasn’t sure what was next for her. She took the idea of a dream, pulled inspira...

Today on the podcast, I cover “taming your inner critic”. Most of us would have heard about our inner critic here and there, especially if you tap into personal development. Or maybe you’ve heard people talk about your “inner mean girl” it’s the same thing. It’s also quite possible you have never heard of the inner critic or our inner voices and you might have no idea that we have all sorts of dif...

One Day PA was born after Lou had her second child. She wanted to simply help busy women to get stuff done. How bloody...
