In this episode of Being Farmstrong, Michelle Watt sits down with Farmstrong Champion Deanne Parkes to talk about women’s mental health on and around the farm. 

They dig into why so many women just keep pushing through, what that “invisible load” really looks like, and how taking just a moment to pause and check in with yourself can make a massive difference. They also get into the differences between men and women, and how you can better support the partner, wife, mum or friend in your life who might be carrying more than you realise.
