Inspiring Women in Rural Leadership | Ep 17

Balancing farm, family, and community commitments can be challenging, especially when taking on leadership roles. This episode explores practical ways women can lead in rural Southland while staying grounded in their communities. In celebration of International Women’s Day, host Sarah Thorne talks with Clare Officer and Rachael Millar about what leadership really looks like in rural Southland — from the paddock to the boardroom. We share honest stories about backing yourself, building support networks, navigating change, and stepping up in ways that work for you. Key Takeaways • Why having a strong support network is essential — and how to build one around you • How to push through imposter syndrome and get comfortable being uncomfortable • Practical advice for women in agriculture and environmental science who want to grow, lead, and give back Clare Officer is a dairy and beef farmer in Central Southland, Thriving Southland Board Member and a dedicated community leader, while Rachael Millar is Chief Advisor at Environment Southland and a long-time advocate for collaborative catchment work. If you’ve ever thought about putting your hand up but hesitated, this is your nudge — rural communities thrive when people step forward, so press play and be inspired to take your next step.   #catchmentgroups #southlandfarming #ThrivingSouthland #womeninagriculture #ruralleadership Connect with us at Thriving Southland Website: https://www.thrivingsouthland.co.nz/  Facebook:   /     YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCERV...
