Kerryn Batson, 69
Kerryn Batson spent years on the road, as a courier, as an escort driver with RACV guiding strangers through streets they did not know, moving forward steadily while she was still figuring out her own direction. She has navigated mental health struggles, relationships that left her smaller than she should have felt, and an internal voice that took a long time to quiet. About five years ago she joined a women's group called Women's Journey, and week after week, something began to shift. She is the first to say she does not have it completely worked out. But she is working on it. It is a daily thing.
Her message to other women: don't give up and don't listen to negative people.
