Former public servant Tanya Senior has found purpose and meaning after quitting the "hamster wheel" for a new life as a market gardener.
The 49-year-old took time off during the COVID-19 pandemic to "recalibrate" after 15 years as an executive, and began volunteering at a local farmers market in southern NSW. "I want to do something that is purposeful to me and meaningful," the sea-changer told AAP from the patch of land she now farms at Moruya on the state's south coast with her business partner Shani Keane.
