A huge welcome to this bonus episode of The DediKate Podcast. Kate has her daughter at home full time, so a full series is a bit difficult so from time to time we will bring you bonus episodes.

Today chats to rural psychologist and rural mum, Rebecca Gilchrist. This is a jaw dropping and super informative conservation. Rebecca shares her incredible life story which includes escaping a violent and life threatening relationship, moving to the farm and giving birth on a plane!

We also discuss rural mental health and the importance of sleep, nutrition and exercise. Phew, what an episode to break the podcast silence.

Enjoy DediKaters! Kate x

Her big what was born through her own challenges post-birth. We chat about this, running a business and open with a big chat on her recent separation.
