The Rural Psychologist
Chantal Corish
In this podcast, long-time rural-based psychologist, Chantal Corish discovers what rural Aussies have that makes us happier than the rest, and how we manage to keep our spirits up when the chips are down.
Living and working in rural, regional and remote Australia can have all sorts of impacts on people's mental health and well-being, but lots of us have developed great ways to manage our mental health even when things get really tough.
Listen here to The Rural Psychologist podcast as Chantal chats with every day rural Aussies and mental health professionals to discover the best tools and techniques for living a productive and satisfying life; and as she draws on nearly two decades of psychology experience to offer advice for good mental health and well-being for those living and working in 'the bush'.

Annabelle Hickson Galah magazine creator, on self-belief, failing fast & succeeding beyond our wildest imaginations.

Rural Women Leading: Annabelle Hickson creator of Galah Magazine - a runaway success in the cutthroat world of media, on self-belief, failing fast & succeeding beyond our wildest imaginations.
What will Galah Magazine creator-editor, Annabelle Hickson, do next?
A mother of three, a farmer’s wife, a natural-born entrepreneur who lives down the country road from me on a pecan farm, and who seems so self-contained, so unhindered by the rules of life...I just simply had to interview her and find out what on earth makes her tick...what makes her so brave? How did she come to be in this world without caring a jot for whether she fails and falls or not? A woman, it seems, for whom the only thing that matters is following one’s passion with complete abandon, despite harboring some of the fears that hold most of us back from discovering our true selves and putting it at the centre of everything we do.
What are the ingredients to living a life of unadulterated passionate abandon for the things one simply loves to do. Take no prisoners. Total leaps of faith. Fail fast, get back up and carry on...
And what will this, one of rural Australia's true female leaders and entrepreneurs, do next?

Long before it was trendy to be entrepreneurial in agriculture, Jane Campbell and her husband Ian, lead the way in setting up a phenomenally successful diary company, Barambah Organics, value adding to the milk they produced on their diary farm in Murgon, Queensland. This is a fabulous tale of hard work, and self-belief but also testimony to great values including humility, love of connection with people from all walks of life, and the might that comes with the meeting of intellect and agricultural practicality. @mananafarms @glenarbon

Damian Morgan on Community wellbeing & Why saving rural newspapers is important for community cohesion and identity
The Rural Psychologist
10/08/24 • 47 min
Remember when the town's newspaper set the tone for a community? Each week we would wait to see who was on the front page and what event had flung them into the limelight. Who was the best footballer in the town and who was the local hero; which kids were going to grow up and be rocket scientists, and which had grown up to graffiti the toilets.
Everything that had happened and everything that was going to happen was there each week for everyone in the community to see, know about, and discuss. We were all on the same page as such, and we all had the opportunity to support each other and know each other through the local 'rag'.
The internet signaled the death knell for many papers and along with it the single point of community knowledge and wisdom that provided a subtle yet important role for all rural communities in binding us together and keeping us informed about what was important.
Does the death of a town's newspaper have an effect? Does it really matter? Join me for a discussion with Damian Morgan, the man who has resurrected over 30 rural newspapers because he believes they are an integral part of the fabric of any rural community and wants to ensure they continue to a play role in informing and bringing together communities through the good times and the bad.
