Today on the podcast we are speaking to Kristy McGregor, co-founder and editor of Shepherdess Magazine, and 2021 Finalist in the Women of Influence Awards.

Kristy generously talks about the challenges of isolated wife-life, as she brings up her two young kids with her husband Mike, a 5th generation farmer in the Horowhenua. 

Kristy showed tremendous tenacity from a young age, writing to cattle stations in her homeland of Australia, to fulfill a curiosity. This took her on a journey to the outback and beyond where she was geographically isolated. But that didn’t stop her from being an integral part of the now well-known, Channel Country Ladies Day in Western Queensland.

Ever the entrepreneur, this has now spread to the founding of Shepherdess in New Zealand during lockdown in 2020. Today, she spends her time curating beautiful content to showcase our stories of rural women.
