    I admire what Steph is doing with Motherland, however, I wish she would get better at listening and conversing in her interview style - it’s very frustrating to hear her ask questions that have just been answered through conversations. Also, please share some inspiring and happy stories. I’m a rural mum but it’s not all trauma and disaster out here - please share some happy stories.
