Today's guest is Kathleen Allen who's coined a number of phrases around female leadership in agriculture. She's lives on a farm not to far from me, near Bowning on the NSW Southern Tablelands. Kathleen is part of a growing movement to NOT work so hard on the farm, to enable her to focus more on family - and to subsidise her farming lifestyle with a full time professional career. From the conversations I'm having everywhere - I'm seeing and hearing that making money from farming is hard, too hard in many cases - and more and more people are remaining on farm but are downsizing and releasing the pressure. She's a really good example of looking after yourself, leading in a way that makes sense to her way of life as a farm girl - she loves getting her nails done and sprays a spritzes herself with perfume every time she steps out the door.
