このコンテンツについて

In this podcast, long-time rural-based psychologist, Chantal Corish discovers what rural Aussies have that makes us happier than the rest, and how we manage to keep our spirits up when the chips are down.


Living and working in rural, regional and remote Australia can have all sorts of impacts on people's mental health and well-being, but lots of us have developed great ways to manage our mental health even when things get really tough.

Listen here to The Rural Psychologist podcast as Chantal chats with every day rural Aussies and mental health professionals to discover the best tools and techniques for living a productive and satisfying life; and as she draws on nearly two decades of psychology experience to offer advice for good mental health and well-being for those living and working in 'the bush'.

  • Annabelle Hickson Galah magazine creator, on self-belief, failing fast & succeeding beyond our wildest imaginations.
    2025/01/05

    Rural Women Leading: Annabelle Hickson creator of Galah Magazine - a runaway success in the cutthroat world of media, on self-belief, failing fast & succeeding beyond our wildest imaginations.

    What will Galah Magazine creator-editor, Annabelle Hickson, do next?

    A mother of three, a farmer’s wife, a natural-born entrepreneur who lives down the country road from me on a pecan farm, and who seems so self-contained, so unhindered by the rules of life…I just simply had to interview her and find out what on earth makes her tick...what makes her so brave? How did she come to be in this world without caring a jot for whether she fails and falls or not? A woman, it seems, for whom the only thing that matters is following one’s passion with complete abandon, despite harboring some of the fears that hold most of us back from discovering our true selves and putting it at the centre of everything we do.

    What are the ingredients to living a life of unadulterated passionate abandon for the things one simply loves to do. Take no prisoners. Total leaps of faith. Fail fast, get back up and carry on...

    And what will this, one of rural Australia's true female leaders and entrepreneurs, do next?
