The Rural Psychologist

By: Chantal Corish
  • Summary


  • “The great opportunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the centre of the world.” (J. Burroughs, Naturalist)


    In this podcast, long-time rural-based psychologist, Chantal Corish discovers what rural Aussies have that makes us happier than the rest, and how we manage to keep our spirits up when the chips are down.


    Living and working in rural, regional and remote Australia can have all sorts of impacts on people's mental health and well-being, but lots of us have developed great ways to manage our mental health even when things get really tough.

    Listen here to The Rural Psychologist podcast as Chantal chats with every day rural Aussies and mental health professionals to discover the best tools and techniques for living a productive and satisfying life; and as she draws on nearly two decades of psychology experience to offer advice for good mental health and well-being for those living and working in 'the bush'.

  • Rural Women Leading #4: The original entrepreneur, Jane Campbell of Barambah Organics on the value of making sure people feel included, showing up with a smile on your face, and how she takes care of her mental health
    Jun 2 2024

    https://mananapastoral.com.au/
    Long before it was trendy to be entrepreneurial in agriculture, Jane Campbell and her husband Ian, lead the way in setting up a phenomenally successful diary company, Barambah Organics, value adding to the milk they produced on their diary farm in Murgon, Queensland. This is a fabulous tale of hard work, and self-belief but also testimony to great values including humility, love of connection with people from all walks of life, and the might that comes with the meeting of intellect and agricultural practicality. @mananafarms @glenarbon

  • Rural Women Leading #3: Interview with Claire Osborn Booth, farmer, lawyer and one of rural Australia's principal Out-of-the-Box Thought Leaders
    May 2 2024

    Guerie solicitor, farmer, property developer, board director and formidable engineer of community well-being, Clare Osborn Booth talks about the 'enoughness' of being a mum, honoring the family unit, tax law (an obvious connection...) and how to develop derelict rural properties to build the future for your off-farm adult children and revitalize rural communities.

    It's a thought-provoking listen to say the least. You'd be crazy to miss it.

  • Rural Women Leading #2: Galah Creator, Annabelle Hickson on self-belief, failing fast & succeeding beyond our wildest imaginations.
    Apr 7 2024

    What will Galah Magazine creator-editor, Annabelle Hickson, do next?

    A mother of three, a farmer’s wife, a natural-born entrepreneur who lives down the country road from me on a pecan farm, and who seems so self-contained, so unhindered by the rules of life…I just simply had to interview her and find out what on earth makes her tick...what makes her so brave? How did she come to be in this world without caring a jot for whether she fails and falls or not? A woman, it seems, for whom the only thing that matters is following one’s passion with complete abandon, despite harboring some of the fears that hold most of us back from discovering our true selves and putting it at the centre of everything we do.

    What are the ingredients to living a life of unadulterated passionate abandon for the things one simply loves to do. Take no prisoners. Total leaps of faith. Fail fast, get back up and carry on...

    And what will this, one of rural Australia's true female leaders and entrepreneurs, do next?
