THE founder of a Tasmanian podcast series focusing on motherhood in rural Australian is among the finalists in the 2020 AusMumpreneur Awards.
Deloraine farmer and podcast producer Stephanie Trethewey, 31, has been named a finalist in the national awards’ leadership category.
Mrs Trethewey is the founder and host of the Motherland Australia podcast, a weekly show that tells real and raw stories of motherhood from women on the land.
She also runs a Wagyu beef business with her husband Sam, the Tasmanian Agricultural Company.
Mrs Trethewey, a former TV reporter, started the podcast in December to celebrate and connect rural mums across the country, following her own experience and challenges.
The podcast has now been downloaded more than 40,000 times.
“I couldn’t find any podcasts or resources focusing on rural motherhood, so I just launched it in a night,” she said.
“Each week I interview a rural woman from somewhere in Australia, I’ve covered every state and territory. Every mum’s story is very different.”
Mrs Trethewey said she was honoured to be named as a finalist in the awards.
“I’m absolutely thrilled and I’m really happy it’s put rural mums on the map,” she said.
The AusMumpreneur Awards, presented by The Women’s Business School, recognise Australian Mums in business achieving outstanding success in areas such as business excellence, product development, customer service and digital innovation.
