The Conscious Cowgirl Podcast
Conscious Cowgirls is where heart meets hard work in the bush. Hosted by a rural woman passionate about personal growth, leadership, and storytelling, this podcast brings mindset conversations to the paddock and beyond.
Each episode dives into raw, inspiring, and relatable stories from women (and men) in the agricultural industry. Those navigating isolation, leadership in male-dominated spaces, mental health challenges, and the unpredictability of life on the land.
You’ll hear from rural business owners, industry change makers, and everyday legends who share powerful lessons on their role in the industry, self-development, overcoming setbacks, and creating your reality from the inside out.
Whether you're tailing out weaners, in the lead of a mob, heading to town, or simply seeking a space to feel heard, Conscious Cowgirls is your go-to for grounded wisdom, mental resilience, and reminders that you’re not alone out here.
Tune in every week for conversations that empower, connect, and raise the standard of what’s possible, both in the bush and within yourself.
