This week, I catch up with rural mum Kate Brow. From Canberra, to the country, Kate juggles her job working for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Motherhood the second time around for Kate was more of a shock than baby number one. Her second daughter was born prematurely at 35 weeks during raging bushfires across her region. We chat identity after becoming a mum, miscarriage, birth trauma and mental health. This is her story.
