88. The Only One Who Cares: Carrying the mental load of the farm office

Are you the only one in your business or family who cares about keeping the paperwork up to date, paying the bills on time, reconciling the books, and keeping the business finances organised?

You’re not alone - and you’re not imagining it.

In this episode of The Rural Bookkeeping Podcast, we’re speaking directly to the rural women who are holding everything together. You manage the farm office, raise the kids, feed the workers, and still somehow remember the BAS deadline - and you do it without much recognition or help.

We’ll explore:
✅ Why this mental load exists (and how it affects you)
✅ What to do when no one else is stepping up
✅ How to set boundaries and ask for support
✅ Practical ways to lighten the load and feel less alone

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever said: “If I don’t do it, it won’t get done.” 💛
