Description

Paige Schmidt was just 23 when she became a mum for the first time, living and working on a remote cattle station in central Queensland. From the challenges of raising kids whilst so isolated, to managing her own chronic illness, she's faced more than her fair share of health hurdles. Living hours from the nearest hospital, she’s had to navigate her children’s unexpected medical emergencies while adapting to a life-changing diagnosis herself. Today, Paige shares her story with honesty and strength, from the realities of motherhood in the bush, to the impact on her mental health, and the lessons she’s learned about looking after herself along the way. This is her story. 

Life in the bush isn’t always easy, but it’s full of grit, laughs, and memories - in trusted Blundstone boots.  For rural families who don’t just wear boots, but live in them! CLICK HERE to sign up, learn more and shop their range
