Episode 97: Annabelle Kennedy

About this episode

This week, I catch up with rural mum of four and children's clothing designer Annabelle Kennedy from Kennedy the Label. From the coast to the country, Annabelle's life on the land is a long way from her home town where she grew up! Her passion for performing arts also saw her travel to LA and New York before she came home to be with her high school sweetheart. Annabelle opens up about her transition to rural motherhood including the loneliness and anxiety she felt, plus how their family coped when a crippling three-year long drought took hold in 2017. Annabelle had a newborn and was busy raising three children over that period. She struggled with the mental and emotional load during those dark times which devastated their business and local community. This is her story.
