Episode 58: Sarah Parkinson

This week, I catch up with rural mum Sarah Parkinson from Victoria. She opens up about life on the land, and the loneliness she felt throughout the early years of motherhood. Sarah's husband is a dairy farmer who works long, gruelling hours, as so many of our partners do. She struggled with postnatal depression during this time and soon realised she wasn't taking any time out for herself. So... One day she hopped in the car solo, took a leap of faith and enrolled in a weekend course that changed everything. This is her story.
