Staying Connected: Building Community & Resilience in Rural Life

Living in a rural area comes with its challenges—distance, isolation, and limited access to resources. But connection is everything and for Susie Williams, founder of the Fleurieu App, keeping people informed, connected, and supported is more than just a business—it’s a passion project. In this episode of Suzi Says, I sit down with Susie Williams, a rural entrepreneur, agricultural researcher, and mother of three, to talk about: 📲 Why staying connected in rural areas is more than a luxury—it’s a necessity 💡 The inspiration behind the Fleurieu App and its impact on small businesses & communities 💪 Overcoming personal challenges—from launching a business during bushfires & COVID to battling breast cancer 👩‍🌾 Championing women in agriculture and paving the way for the next generation   This conversation is a must-listen for anyone passionate about community, resilience, and the power of showing up for one another—no matter where you live.   Looking for a way to stay connected and informed in your community?
