Keynote Speaker

Empowering rural women by building strong connections.

I am a nurse, a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend and a whole bunch of other titles and labels BUT most importantly I am human!

I am wildly passionate about the strength, resilience, adaptability and grit that our rural, regional and remote women have. I think we are the wheels that keep our agricultural industry turning but I am also deeply aware that we are so undervalued, under resourced and grossly under supported across all aspects for the mammoth task that is placed on our shoulders. I want every rural woman to feel empowered in her health, in her well being and in her parenting choices. I want her to know that she is VALUED, heard, understood and supported. I want her to know that she is NOT alone!

I speak so passionately to our rural, regional and remote women and share my story, my experience and my knowledge because I get it! I am in the trenches of parenting with you! I live the challenges that come with living and raising a family in rural Australia, just like you. I believe that strong women ALWAYS choose connection over competition, kindness over criticism and to build each other up over tearing each other down.

My favourite topics to speak about are:

Seasons of womanhood and how to trust yourself in these seasons

Fostering and nurturing a connection culture vs a competition culture to help build and grow “village” support network and break down barriers/judgement across the seasons of womanhood.

Your identity in different seasons and how fluid this can be

Prioritising you and your health & well being (how to overcome barriers in accessing care rurally, trusting yourself to keep advocating for you, looking after your mental and physical health, self-care and practical, achievable, relatable strategies specific to rural, regional and remote lifestyles)

Let me introduce myself

I'm Rebecca Bradshaw, founder of Rural Child Health.

I have travelled many parts of Queensland and LOVE meeting women in their local area, in their community. Travelling the vast rural, regional and remote areas of Australia and connecting with and empowering women lights me up and it is such a privilege to have the opportunity to do this.

I am not polished or scripted, I am relatable, raw, genuine and at times down right hilarious and I believe that if we want people to feel safe being vulnerable and honest about their experience and daily life, we need to show them that we are also vulnerable because that is the key to connection!

Want to chat about an event you have in your local area?

I would love to hear about what your doing, why your doing it and how I can help support your local women! Taking 2024 event and podcast bookings NOW.

Available workshops

Reacquaint yourself with YOU

Workshop

Includes guided workshop and workbook for 1 hour.

As women we are pro’s at knowing who lies what, what makes them tick and all the general preferences of our loved ones to make their life more comfortable BUT what about YOU? When was the last time you prioritised your preferences or checked in with yourself to see what lights you up?

How can you expect others to meet your needs and help you if YOU don’t actually know what you want and what that looks like? This workshop helps to shine the spotlight on YOU and helps to reacquaint yourself with YOU because you matter!

This workshop can be run as a standalone workshop or delivered as a beautifully holistic experience if paired with the Celebrating YOU workshop.

Celebrating YOU… You are NOT lost

workshop

Includes guided workshop and workbook for 1 hour.

Every day you show up for your kids, your family, your friends, your work colleagues and at times, people you barely even know… no matter how tired, hungry or exhausted you are.

When was the last time you showed up for YOU?

This workshop guides you to pause, recognise, reflect and celebrate YOU!

It challenges you to identify how you are going to show up for yourself every day and discover what self care you will do every day so we all get the best version of YOU.

This workshop can be run as a standalone workshop or delivered as a beautifully holistic experience when paired with the Reacquainting Yourself With YOU workshop.

Testimonial

“Rebecca does not shy from being vulnerable and sharing her own lived experiences when connecting with her audience. Due to this, every audience member is taken on a journey in which they are seen as partners, parents and individuals, and feel that their challenges and strengths are seen, acknowledged and valued. Rebecca has a compassionate delivery and interacts genuinely with audience members, keeping them engaged. She gives practical advice on how to manage effective self care for the individual at the stage they are at, not the standard suggestions of spa baths and meditation that do not apply to many. I would recommend Rebecca for any event in which wellbeing is a focus… especially if she brings chocolate!”
