The Possibilities, Life, Leadership & Legacy with Gillian Fennell

In this powerful and grounded episode, we sit down with Gillian Fennell—beef producer, ag leader, social media truth-teller and rural mother of three—whose raw honesty and sharp insight have made her a standout voice in Australian agriculture.

Broadcasting from the vast isolation of Lambina Station in remote South Australia, Gillian opens up about life on the land, stepping into leadership and why “just surviving” is sometimes the proudest achievement of all.

We explore:

• Her unconventional path from boarding school to bush life
  
  
• The realities of marrying into a family business and building resilience
  
  
• Mental health in rural communities—and why we need to talk about it more
  
  
• What’s still broken in succession planning and cattle industry leadership
  
  
• Her hopes for the future and the kind of ag industry she wants her daughter to inherit
  
  

This is not your typical Ag conversation—this is the heart, grit and humour behind a woman who’s walked the long road and still believes in the power of possibility.
