  • 2. Babe #9 - Han McGufficke leaving school at 17, being engaged at 21 + now working for Saltbush Stretch

    42:47||Season 2, Ep. 2
    Show Notes: You have probably seen Han on your yoga mats online or in the studio but Has hasn’t always been a part of the Saltbush Stretch family. Leaving school at 17 to do her hairdressing apprenticeship and then setting her own business up at 19, getting engaged and then the relationship breaking down before the wedding, but Han knows that everything happens for a reason. The struggles of financially having your own business, mortgage and trying to live in the “best days of your life” at 21 was HARD! But if this legend can do anything she puts her mind to. I bet she didn’t think she’d a yogi teacher, reformer queen and doing three days of chaos at Saltbush Stretch.Han is a huge part of Saltbush Stretch and I hope you enjoy her journey on how she has got to where she is today. Han is a Saltbush babe for life! Enjoy this week’s episode. EM xxFOLLOW US:Saltbush Stretch Instagram: @saltbushstretch https://www.instagram.com/saltbushstretch/Saltbush Stretch Facebook: @saltbushstretch https://www.facebook.com/saltbushstretchSaltbush Stretch Website: https://www.saltbushstretch.com.au/Han’s Instagram @bendy.with.hanhttps://www.instagram.com/bendy.with.han/PODCAST SPONSOR:The Rural Women's Physio (Jess Walker)Hi, I'm Jess and I'm here to help support women of the bush and beyond to prepare your pelvic floor for birth, reduce trauma, postpartum recovery, incontinence, abdominal separation, pelvic girdle pain, helping you navigate menopause and any pain with sex. I have telehealth appointments available for the rest of 2024 and into 2025 and I want to help as many regional, rural & remote women as I can, super excited to chat.
