Ella - Farm owner and podcast host, naracoorte SA

My picture of the struggle in farmer mental health is:

I struggle with the feeling of constantly dropping the ball when juggling the million different jobs associated with being a farmer and a mum. Feeling like something is always being given 2nd best effort.

Some of the glimmer/joyful moments that reflect farmer mental health for me:

Taking a moment to sit peacefully and reflect on what we have built. Watching healthy cattle graze in the paddock with our happy and healthy child with us!

A little more about Ella:

I’m a young mum and farm business owner. This project really resonates with me because I can relate it very closely with my own life! Farming can be simultaneously beautiful and excruciating all at once!
