194: Brodie Game realised she'd hit rock bottom at 3am while milking her cows

Brodie Game lives on the far south coast of NSW on dairy country, and she loves her cows, I mean loves them! She's up at 3am milking every morning, living her dream. It's been a tough road though. Over the past 10 years, Brodie and her husband have grown their own herd from 2 cows, to more than 300, but there have been times they've nearly lost it all, or wanted to walk away.  Brodie's children were really little when they went through a horrific drought and had to sell half their herd. Then, one of their farms burned and they lost cattle in the 2019/2020 fires.  Her husband was at breaking point, struggling with his own mental health, while Brodie tried to hold it together for him and the kids. But just when everything finally got better on farm, Brodie crumbled.  Her story is about the power of vulnerability, the importance of looking after ourselves, and what we can all focus on as Australia heads into El Nino, with an uncertain season ahead for so many of us.  This is her story.Ello Botanicals 1st Birthday this week!
