Instant Connection with Sharlee Cassidy from Windalee Flower Farm
Instant Connection is a special segment of A Friend of Mine podcast, bringing you unplanned, yet meaningful conversations with remarkable women from regional and rural Australia. In these brief but powerful episodes, host Kimberley Furness dives into candid moments and unscripted insights that shine a light on authenticity, resilience and the beauty of real-time connection. Perfect for listeners looking for quick inspiration, Instant Connection delivers insightful snapshots that resonate and inspire—no script, just pure connection.
I was recently presenting workshops at the NSW Rural Women’s Gathering in Harden Murrumburrah. As part of the workshop, I invited attendees to take the microphone and be part of a mock podcast interview.
OAK is all about amplifying women's voices and helping them gain the confidence to speak up and share their unique stories. Opportunities like these – where women can practice, get feedback, and feel supported – are rare, and it's a privilege to create that space for them.
This interview was too good to not publish. In this special, very short episode, Sharlee Cassidy shares a little insight into launching Windalee Flower Farm in the scenic Yass Valley.
Keep in mind, there was minimal prepping on both sides of the microphone, and unfortunately, we only had a small window of time.
