Most women think they’re running out of time. But what they’re really running out of is energy, doing things the way they always have. At Leading Rein, we help capable women who’ve been quietly doing it all often in a state of invisible overwhelm, finally start prioritising themselves- GUILT FREE

Through experiential learning and behavioural insight (with and without horses), we help women uncover what’s really been driving them, so they can lead, live, and work from a place of self-trust and direction, not survival. Our workshops and experiences blend self-leadership, emotional fitness, and identity development for women who are ready to:
✨ Stop running on empty
✨ Build sustainable energy for what’s next
✨ Create a life that feels meaningful, not just full

Programs include:
• Time For You in Tasmania™ – a 3-day personal and professional reset for high-functioning women
• Women’s One-Day Workshops – local development and networking experiences
• Team & Culture Development – tailored workplace programs using eDISC and equine-assisted learning

I turned 47 today.

Update 4.7.

Funny thing is, when I hit 40, I genuinely thought I’d entered ‘that’ era of life.

Midlife. Aged.

And somehow, life starts looking like there’s less from here on in.

I sure don’t see it like that anymore.
These days, I see birthdays as a gift.

Because every new year is another opportunity to update.

Some parts of you still fit.
Some don’t.
Some things that mattered ten years ago now don’t.
And some things you spent years waiting on are non negotiable now.

I think where we run into trouble is expecting outdated versions of ourselves to keep running our current lives.

And then wondering why things feel discombobulated.

Maybe midpoint of life isn’t the beginning of falling apart.

Maybe some of it is realising you’ve outgrown old ways of operating and you haven’t quite met the version of you that comes next.

I am only just entering version 4.7.

But I’m bloody glad I get to meet her.

I think some of the best conversations happen when you’re not looking for them.

I had this one because I was in the wrong seat.
It was with Luke.

In 50min we’d talked about work, pressure, people, behaviour, critical care, horses, relationships, defaults and the very different strategies we draw on depending on the environment we’re in.

Some conversations are just conversations.
And some can quietly expand your perspective.

I’m very glad I sat in the wrong seat that day.

Although Luke, I’m still hoping I never need to take you up on the critical care offer. 😂

20/09/2026

Apparently we have slightly different definitions of “quality time”. 😂

In fairness, this is pretty much us.

We love walking together.

We just don’t necessarily need to be joined at the hip while we’re doing it. 😂

Anyone else married to someone whose walking pace suggests they’re trying to lose you?

I spent years thinking more time would solve it.
Get through this week.
Get the kids settled.
Get this job finished.
Get past this particularly ridiculous patch of life.
THEN there’d be a bit more room for me.
Except there was always another thing.
And I’m not saying those things weren’t real. They absolutely were.
I’m questioning the bit I didn’t question for a very long time:
Why did everything else have to be sorted before I was allowed some of my own time?
Because if that’s the rule…
I’m not sure more hours in the day would have fixed it either.

Have you heard of the AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award?
And before the word “Rural” or “Award” makes you think that’s probably not for me, please keep reading!

You don’t have to be a farmer, and you don’t have to think of yourself as a high level leader to apply.

The Award is for women with an existing business, project or program that is creating impact in rural and regional Australia. That might be through community, collaboration or commercial work.

Each State and Territory winner receives a $15,000 grant to help develop their work, plus a $7,500 Learning and Development budget.

But there is so much more to this Award than the money.
The professional development, opportunities, exposure and particularly the connections you make, both here in Tasmania and through the national Alumni network of more than 450 women, are a huge part of what comes from being involved.

I know it can be really easy to look at something called the Rural Women’s Award and think, I’m not ag enough for that.
Don’t rule yourself out before you’ve had a look.

If you’re interested in staying up to date, curious about whether what you’re doing might fit, or you’re ready to apply, reach out to me.

As the current Tassie State Chair and 2023 State Winner, I’m happy to have a chat, answer your questions and help you work out whether the Rural Women’s Award or the Acceleration Program might be a fit for you.

Just because the way you operate works, doesn’t mean it isn’t costing you.

And when life is full, it can be bloody hard to see the patterns that have simply become your normal.

Sometimes you need to step out of the noise to notice them.

That’s what The Update is for.

Applications are officially open for the Agrifutures 2027 Rural Women’s Award and I’d love you to consider yourself or shoulder tap another in your state and territory networks.

If you’ve been in the fence about applying or even if you’re a right fit, please REACH OUT.
This award is currently in it’s 26th year 👏

It provides a national platform, leadership development opportunities and financial support to help rural, regional and remote women grow their influence, strengthen their capabilities and accelerate their impact.

And if you have had the thoughts where you don’t think you’re “Ag enough” I’d love the opportunity to have a conversation with you about that too.

I think we can get very good at making decisions within the parameters of our lives.

What needs doing.
What makes sense.
What works for the family.
What the business needs.
What we can realistically fit in.

And we can make those decisions really well.

But that’s not quite the same as asking ourselves what we actually want.

I think noticing that matters.

Because sometimes “I don’t know” can start to feel like there’s something we need to figure out. Like the answer is buried somewhere and if we think hard enough, journal enough or make the right pros and cons list, eventually we’ll find it.

Maybe we don’t always need a big answer.

Maybe we just need to start paying attention again.

To the things we keep being drawn towards.
What we miss.
What gives us energy.
What we wish there was a little more room for.

Not because every one of those things needs to become a goal or a big life change.

Just because they might be telling us something.

And that feels like a pretty good place to start.

This started with a coffee and a conversation about how a business could better support their people.

There was no off the shelf workshop or on size fits all approach.

We began with individual Extended DISC unpack sessions, taking the time to understand how each person naturally operates, where they adapt, make decisions and what happens under pressure.

Today, we brought the team leaders together.

And this is the part I love.

No two people are the same. No two teams are the same.

Meet people where they’re at. Help them understand themselves. Then help them understand the people around them a little better too.

That’s the good stuff.

If you’d asked several years ago if I was a public speaker, the answer would’ve been a very hard NO.
The thought of standing up in front of a crowd genuinely made me want to pass out, true story!
One on one no problem.
But workshops, facilitating discussion groups, standing in front of a room full of people? I would get REALLY, really nervous.

Then when I won the AgriFutures Australia Rural Women’s Award for Tasmania in 2023, I knew that if I was going to give this everything I had, I couldn’t keep waiting until I felt ready.
So I made a promise.
Every opportunity that came my way to speak, facilitate or present, I would treat as an opportunity to practise.
Not to prove I was good at it.
To practise.
And I would stop pulling myself apart afterwards because it wasn’t perfect.

Because I’ve learnt that perfectionism can be a very elegant self-sabotage strategy.
It lets us tell ourselves we’re just not quite ready yet.
And the interesting thing is, if I still relied on the past versions of me to decide whether I’m ready to stand on a stage, I’d probably still say no.

The butterflies still turn up. But I now know those feelings mean what I’m sharing matters to me.
The self-criticism still turns up.
I just don’t let it sit in the driver’s seat as much anymore.

I’ve got other drivers now:
Why I’m doing it.
What I want to contribute.
The people I want to reach.
The work I want to put into the world.
And THAT took practice.

I didn’t practise to become fearless.
I practised making a different meaning of things while the fear was still there.
Again and then again and then again.

That’s why I don’t want another woman looking at me on a stage these days thinking, “She’s a natural. I’m not like that.”
Because you’re seeing work in practice.
The courage didn’t come first.
Neither did the confidence.
These things are built from doing the reps and platforms like WoTL provide such as the Thriving Women’s Conference create a supportive and inspiring place to put the practice into action.
