Kate - Kyneton

Kate (her/they) is a lesbian woman who moved to Kyneton with her partner around 5 years ago to establish a local allied health business.​In this episode, Kate discusses why they chose to move to Kyneton and what their experience has been like finding community there. Originally from Adelaide, Kate found adjusting to regional living a bit difficult as she enjoyed being emersed in the arts and culture that city life offers. However, the people she's met in Kyneton have been her saving grace as she's found people are generally more open to forming deeper connections in the country.​Trigger Warnings: Negative family reactions to coming out​If this content may be triggering for you, then please seek support from a loved one or one of the helplines at the bottom of this description.This podcast is released every Tuesday and Friday and could not have been possible without the support of our local community partners, Midsumma and the Fairer Victoria portfolio of the Victorian State Government.​Episode Credits​Wayfinder, Interviewer & Editing : Helene Thomas​Episode Introduction: Josephine Scash​Pridefinder Midsumma Team​Ashlee Hints: Community Engagement Manager​Bec Cooen: Project and Program Manager – Victoria's Pride​Danae Reid: Regional Community Engagement Coordinator​Felicity McIntosh: Marketing & Communications Manager​Martin Broadley: Programming Administrator​Want to know more about Pridefinder?​www.midsumma.org.au/victorias-....pride/pridefinder-po to know more about Helene Thomas & The Wayfinder?​www.thewayfinder.com.au/​Want to be a part of the Pridefinder Podcast?​We hope to continue collecting stories from regional LGBTQIA+ folk as part of the Pridefinder project each year.​If you’d like to have the Pridefinder visit your community, then please email engagement.coord@midsumma.org.au to register your interest!​Music CreditsIntro/Outro “10c Coffee” by Clamshell“Acoustic guitar melody fingerstyle #5” by Garuda1982"Enter the Room” by Moon Juice“Latecomer” by Cafe Nostro​Seek Support​If this podcast has raised difficult feelings for you, there is always support available: ​Lifeline – 13 11 14 | www.lifeline.org.au/crisis-chat/ ​QLife (3pm-midnight) – 1800 184 527 | www.qlife.org.au/resources/chat ​Beyond Blue – 1300 22 4636 | www.beyondblue.org.au/support-service/chat ​Suicide Call Back Service – 1300 659 467 | www.suicidecallbackservice.org.....au/phone-and-online
