Motherhood rarely follows a straight path — and for Jade Payne, it has been anything but ordinary. In this heartfelt conversation, Jade opens up about becoming a mum at 19, facing societal judgments, and ultimately redefining what it means to live life fully.

From selling everything to travel across Australia with her husband, four children, and pets, to navigating grief, perfectionism, and even a kidney cancer diagnosis, Jade’s story is one of resilience, spontaneity, and courage. She shares how these challenges shaped her perspective on motherhood, identity, and the importance of community support.

Jade also talks about launching her sustainable activewear brand, Wild Body, born from a renewed outlook on health and the desire to create change. Her mantra, “Being a mum is a part of me, it’s not all of me,” reminds us that motherhood, while profound, is not the entirety of who we are.

Join us for this inspiring episode as we explore Jade’s journey — a powerful testament to adaptability, healing, and the beauty that can be found in life’s unpredictability.
