    BABE #16 - Iconic bush writer, Graziher poddy host, yogi queen, mumma and voice for women of the bush

    It was nice for Emily Herbert to be in the passenger seat for a change in the podcasting world. You might have heard Em’s eclectic nature as the host at “Life on the Land” podcast for Graziher.  Or maybe you have read her beautifully articulated words from Country Style, Womens Weekly, Graziher, Regional PR Co or maybe her weekly email (or whenever she gets a minute) on her own personal blog “While He Sleeps”. Em is truely a stunning writer.  We chatted about all the BIG topics like “what’s for smoko”, her AMAZING local book club (and yes you can listen to the books via audiobook)…We also chatted about yoga, meditation and yes, I have a brand new vocabulary…Em really is a wordsmith.  Enjoy this amazing chat and I feel so honoured to chat to Em, such an inspiring women for Rural and Regional Australia.  FOLLOW US: Emily Herbert Writes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emily_herbert_writes/ Saltbush Babes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saltbushbabes/ Saltbush Stretch Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saltbushstretch/ Saltbush Stretch Website: https://www.saltbushstretch.com.au/ PODCAST SPONSOR: The Rural Women's Physio (Jess Walker) Hi, I'm Jess and I'm here to help support women of the bush and beyond to prepare your pelvic floor for birth, reduce trauma, postpartum recovery, incontinence, abdominal separation, pelvic girdle pain, helping you navigate menopause and any pain with sex.  I have telehealth appointments available for 2025 and I want to help as many regional, rural & remote women as I can, super excited to chat.

    BABE #15 - Em’s perimenopause + IVF journey with Jess from The Rural Women's Physio

    What a ride its been from late last year, including Em having some test results delivered and wanting to find some answers for her 4 year fertility journey 2.0. Perimenopause and IVF was definitely not what she thought at 31 years of age and she asked Jess Walker back from The Rural Women's Physio to help her unpack this challenging and confronting topic.  But Em has hope and is optimistic baby #2 will come soon, and she wants to be open so other women are aware of the challenges of fertility but also so others don’t feel so alone.  Hope you love it. xx FOLLOW US: Saltbush Stretch Instagram: @saltbushstretch https://www.instagram.com/saltbushstretch/Saltbush Stretch Facebook: @saltbushstretch https://www.facebook.com/saltbushstretchSaltbush Stretch Website: https://www.saltbushstretch.com.au/The Rural Women's Health Physio Instagram: @theruralwomensphysio https://www.instagram.com/theruralwomensphysio/The Rural Women's Health Physio Website: https://www.theruralwomensphysio.com/ PODCAST SPONSOR: The Rural Women's Physio (Jess Walker) Hi, I'm Jess and I'm here to help support women of the bush and beyond to prepare your pelvic floor for birth, reduce trauma, postpartum recovery, incontinence, abdominal separation, pelvic girdle pain, helping you navigate menopause and any pain with sex.  I have telehealth appointments available 2025 and I want to help as many regional, rural & remote women as I can, super excited to chat.

    BABE #14 - NOSS who stocks to over 200 retailers in Australia, bush babe + cracking legend Kirsty Hawkins (CUZ)

    What’s the name of the assorted creams with the white on the inside? My least fave but CUZ’s most fave haha. Kirsty opens up about losing her boyfriend at a young age and how she made “bucket lists” and ceramics was always on it. After finding love with ceramics at school, she always knew she’d come back to it, and boy did she come back better than ever.  From moving from Melbourne to Tassie with her now hubby and mumma or two boys…she has gone from working retail and putting all of her money into clay, to taking out a personal loan to purchase a kiln and she has never looked back… Keep hustling queen Cuz and it’s an HONOUR to get on on for this yarn today, I am so proud of you and seeing you in quite literally EVERY SINGE BUSH homewares store!  Keep ticking things off your bucket list babe, life is short (and make sure you ACTUALLY put your sunscreen on babe).

    Babe #12 - Queen of Heat Caz Gaston: Boarding School from age five, pilates queen, cancer survivor and all round legend: PART TWO

    WOW! What an ep, I bloody loved this yarn. Caz was the first ever employee at Saltbush Stretch and two years on she is still here (yes putting bush babes through their passes). Caz is a born and bred country gal with her town population under 99, she attended “Claughton House” which was similar to a bush boarding school from the age of five. Found her love for health and fitness from a young age and always having to “get creative” with exercise as she never had access to a gym or fitness classes. Fast forward Caz is now a SPICY queen who loves all things pilates, movement, filling up her cup (and yours) all whilst having fought a rare cancer in her 30’s. Caz is one of a kind and so grateful to have her a part of the “Saltbush” family and now as a friend. Enjoy this awesome episode queens and iIf you could share on social media, tag us and leave a review I would be so grateful!!!
