This edition is a little unlike the rest, following a two-year hiatus on top of the postponement, she’s had a makeover in looks and a little refresh on content too.
However, the heart of Betty has stayed the same: we’re celebrating women through different stages of their lives.
Women who have endured tough times and shown enormous strength, such as Karli Heggart — after receiving a cancer diagnosis she created her own wig business so others wouldn’t be confronted with the hardships she faced when shaving her own head.
We checked in with Shepparton local Grace Egan on her rise to playing AFLW and chatted with Shepparton Brewery owner Daina Winch about balancing the juggling act of having three kids, running several businesses and starting a gin company.
Betty’s aim is to highlight everyday women with everyday issues, topics that may not be openly spoken about.
Discussing the difficulties in seeking a pregnancy termination in regional areas versus metropolitan, or the battle of facing anxiety that so many experience, day in and day out.
And of course, it wouldn’t be Betty without a spread of fashion and flair, showcasing all our local businesses have to offer.
At its core, Betty is multi-faceted and nuanced, much the women inside: brave, bold and brilliant. Grab your free copy in tomorrow’s paper.
