Two years ago, Madeleine West hit restart on her life. She packed up her life in Melbourne and moved to Byron Bay, split up with her partner of 15 years and the father of her six kids and she started life again. And one of her biggest moments in her restart? It was her physical move from the leafy suburbs of Melbourne to Byron. 

She had no choice but to start again. And that’s what a tree change or a sea change does to you, it forces you to Restart.

In June last year, Holly Wainwright packed up her life in Sydney, along with her partner, kids and dog, and moved to the country. And since that moment her world has changed in incredible ways. And on this episode of Restart she tells Madeleine all about it.
