You can grow up in the country, or choose to live in the country... and still have an extraordinary life. Lisa Millar, host of ABC News Breakfast and former foreign correspondent is a perfect example of this.
She began her life on a dairy farm in the small QLD town of Kilkivan. But she always had big ambitions to be a journalist and to travel the world. And turns out, she did precisely that. But her success hasn't always been easy. In this episode she talks about:
* Some of the big stories she covered as a foreign correspondent, including the devastating and tragic Sandy Hook School Shooting in the US, in 2012.
*Her unique childhood, growing up in rural Australia, but also with a Dad who became the Federal Member for Wide Bay.
* Dealing with social media trolling as a TV host and sexist comments based on appearance.
* Why there's no better advocate in life for you, than yourself (and how to do this!)
