In this episode Cynthia chats with rural mental wellbeing and disability advocate, Kelly Barnes. Kelly is the Victorian winner of the 2020 Agrifutures Rural Woman of the Year with her concept of using working dogs to encourage social connection and as a support tool to improve mental wellbeing in farming communities. We talk about her love of dogs and the fabulous outcomes of her working dog school workshops, her experience of living with a chronic pain disability (Fibromyalgia) in rural Australia and how she cultivates herself mentally and physically – great lessons for us all. Kelly also shares where her inspiring journey of leadership has taken her as she now embarks on a career as a mental health researcher and facilitator with the National Centre for Farmer Health.
Cultivate is also the title of Cynthia Mahoney’s first book, it’s about how neuroscience and well-being can support leaders to build happier, healthier teams who are ready to thrive.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
