BONUS ep: Kylie Lindsay on Motherhood at 40, Anxiety and Juggling an Incredible Career

Today I’m thrilled to bring you a bonus episode with Kylie Lindsay, Head of nbn Local in Queensland, for a powerful conversation about leadership, motherhood, mental health, and regional connectivity. Kylie shares her journey from growing up in Townsville to working in high-pressure politics, navigating anxiety, and becoming a mum to her son Archie just before turning 40. We talk about what it’s really like returning to work after having a baby, why flexible workplaces matter, and how leadership can look different after motherhood. Kylie also opens up about separation and life as a solo mum and why she's so passionate about raising a free-range kid outside the city. This is her story. We’re proud to have nbn back as our Platinum Motherland Connect Partner for the next 12 months. Motherland Connect is Australia’s first online health directory for rural mums, helping women find the right mental and physical health support faster. Thanks to nbn’s support, we’re strengthening digital access so no rural mum is left behind. Learn more at motherlandconnect.org.au.
