As a rural woman, you may have ticked all the boxes: a loving partner, a wonderful family, and a life in the breathtaking countryside. You cherish your family and your farming business, and you should feel incredibly happy—after all, you’re living what many consider the ideal happily-ever-after. Yet, do you sometimes find yourself wondering if there’s more to life than this?
Do you ever feel like you’re just treading water, caught in a relentless cycle of caring for your kids, managing your home, running your farming business, supporting your partner, and contributing to your community? In those quiet moments, do you pause and ask yourself:
"Is this it for the rest of my life? Is this all I get to be, do, and have?"
What if you could live a life where you were free to prioritise your health, your happiness and your hopes, without feeling guilty or neglecting all your relationships and responsibilities.
At Thriving Farming Women, we support you to figure out what's missing in your life, and give you the confidence to go after it.

Rural women make up half of the farming sector, yet their well-being is rarely discussed. Are we assuming they’re doing fine? Loshni Manikam challenges this notion, shedding light on the hidden struggles they face. In this episode, she explores the biggest challenges confronting rural women, why their struggles often go unnoticed, and how these issues impact farming families, teams, and communities.
Loshni is a coach, facilitator and rural women advocate who is passionate about helping you understand that:
1) You are not alone; you are not the only farming woman who wants more for herself, besides her family and farming business.
2) Theres nothing wrong with you for wanting more - its a normal human drive to want to meet ALL our needs.
3) It IS possible to have more for yourself, while still being a loving mum and partner - because when you thrive, everyone around you benefits!
