Episode 96: Rachael Treasure

About this episode

This week, I catch up with rural mum, regenerative farmer, and bestselling author, Rachael Treasure. Her first book, Jillaroo, became an iconic novel which changed the face of Australian publishing and kick-started a boom of rural women's fiction. Rachael children are teenagers now, but her early motherhood journey is one hell of a story of resilience. Rachael's first marriage broke down, and she was suddenly a single mum, without a home, caring for her two children, including her daughter who has cerebral palsy. Rachael is an incredibly positive and glass half full woman. You'll love her story and hearing how she rebuilt her family's life from the ground up. This is her story.
