In this first episode of "Cultivate Contentment," I, Jessica Knight, also known as the Grounded Farm Wife, share my journey from pursuing a career in law to embracing life on a dairy farm in rural Victoria, Australia. I recount my transformation from city life and law books to farm boots and dairy cows, highlighting the unexpected turns that led me to find contentment in rural living. Growing up with an idyllic view of farming, I initially pursued a law degree and dreamed of an exciting life in the city. However, meeting my husband, a farmer, changed my life's trajectory, leading me to embrace the unpredictable and rewarding world of dairy farming.
