Description

Laura grew up on a sheep and deer farm in Southland, New Zealand. After 10 years of a varied corporate career, she returned to her farming roots, swapping high heels for gumboots. Here she shares her journey to starting her own farm tourism business Real Country and finding her purpose in helping NZ girls build their confidence.

In the episode, Laura shares:

  • How she's coped with the challenges of Covid-19 for her Queenstown tourism business
  • Why feeling satisfied is more important to her than being happy
  • How she shifted through several roles and companies in her 20s, never staying for more than 18 months at a time, before finding her career purpose
  • How anyone can build their confidence - but it involves taking on unfamiliar, uncomfortable tasks
