Episode: A Conversation with Fiona McArthur — Midwife, Author, Rural Advocate

In today’s powerful episode, Katja sits down with the extraordinary Fiona McArthur (formerly Fiona Simpson) — a midwife of 35 years, bestselling Australian author of more than 60 books, mother of five boys, cattlewoman, and passionate advocate for women living, working and raising families on the land.

This is a warm, wise, and deeply relatable conversation full of stories rural women will instantly connect with.
