About this episode
Kirsty Evans swore she'd never have kids. Then came motherhood, farm succession, and floods. Raised in Dubbo by a single mum, Kirsty built a career in corporate law and imagined a child-free city life. But love (and a six-foot-five farmer from Orange) changed everything. Now a mum of three, solicitor, and partner in a farming enterprise, Kirsty juggles family, career, and life on the land. Her path into motherhood wasn't smooth. After her third child she faced postnatal depression, learning the strength of asking for help. That resilience was tested again in 2022, when catastrophic floods hit her community of Molong in NSW. While her husband joined the clean-up, Kirsty used her legal skills to fight for locals, taking on insurers pro bono. Her advocacy returned nearly a million dollars to the community and earned her the title of NSW Regional Woman of the Year. This is her story. Tough enough for the farm, comfortable enough for town, and dependable enough for whatever the day brings.
