Little did she know, that as it does for so many others, that choice would change the trajectory of her life.
In this episode, Kylie shares the story of how after her time as a Governess she came to realise that the structure of mainstream schooling wasn’t the right fit for her, and found herself back in the outback, launching a not-for-profit organization from scratch.
