No single event has changed my life as the birth of my daughter. No matter how much you want kids, how well prepared you think you are – it’s the end of life as we knew it, though in mostly positive ways 😉
On this episode, I talk to Jeanene Kennedy who used to travel to different wine regions all over the world and going to various wine events – when her son arrived, all that changed but it also led her to create Winederlust, which is all about exploring Aussie wine regions and started out as a platform on wine tasting events featuring wines from across Australia and the world. When Covid hit us, Jeanene responded by launching her excellent podcast Winederlust to share her love of exploring Aussie wine regions and to give people some suggestions of where to go and what to do when they get there, even if you have kids to entertain. So we talked about Oz, wine, kids and more on this episode.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jeanene Kennedy!
