Skye Ward's journey as a mother, daughter, granddaughter and professional have taken many weaves and turns, especially in the last few years. After a series of personally challenging events; trouble holding pregnancies, an industrial waste development proposal over the hill from her family home and then managing COVID lockdowns with a two week old baby and two older children - all of a sudden and seemingly with no notice, Skye hit a brick wall... she was really pushed to the edge And it spurred on some big 'make you feel sick' kind of life decisions. The biggest decision for the Ward family it was to sell the family farm, which had been in her mothers family for generations. The reason I wanted to have Skye on this podcast not primarily because she has been through a lot but also because I think she has so much to offer in the way she articulates what she's learnt from these times. And I think, well I hope her reflections on this most challenging of times - might be a balm to you too, as you navigate life's inevitable twists and turns.
