G'day, welcome to the Beyond the Back Paddock Podcast.  This is series three of the podcast and today's guest is an exceptional guest. I've  been really looking forward to interviewing Sally Jones. Sally is the co-founder of Gippsland Jersey and she joins me today and shares a lot of her story and the inspiration for her to start her own milk brand and to be a mental health advocate and community leader that she is today.  In this conversation, Sallie Jones shares a poignant story about a life-changing moment that led to reflections on loss and grief. The discussion delves into the emotional impact of such experiences and the importance of understanding and processing grief.   Takeaways Life-changing moments can redefine our perspectives. Grief is a complex and personal journey. Understanding loss requires empathy and patience. Sharing personal stories can help in healing. It's important to check in on loved ones. Conversations about mental health are crucial. Support systems play a vital role in coping with grief. Processing emotions takes time and self-compassion. Every individual's experience with loss is unique. Finding meaning in loss can lead to personal growth. This episode is dedicated to my cousin Wayne Thomas, who always listened, gave me encouragement to pursuit the creation of The Beyond The Back Paddock Podcast.
