#103: Farming, Family & Boundaries: How to Draw the Line Without Drama with Katja Williams - The Ultimate Farm Wife Podcast

What happens when your home, business, and family are all wrapped into one — and you never get to clock off? In this episode, Ben sits down with Katja Williams — Dubbo-based farmer, mum of four, and host of The Ultimate Farm Wife podcast — to tackle one of the most overlooked but essential ingredients for success in family farming: boundaries.

This is not a fluffy chat about “work/life balance.” It’s a raw, practical conversation about the invisible load carried by farming families — especially women — and how small changes in expectations, communication, and structure can transform both relationships and results. Katja shares insights from 90+ interviews with rural women, hard-won lessons from her own 11,000-acre enterprise, and actionable strategies for drawing the line before the blow-ups happen.

Whether you’re raising steers or raising kids — if you've ever felt like the farm is taking over your life, this episode is your permission to pause, reset, and lead your family better.
