Just Send It | Liv from This Is Livin'

🎙 WOMEN WHO HUNT — EPISODE 29 Just Send It | Liv from This Is Livin'

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In this episode, Carly sits down with Liv from This Is Livin' — hunter, four-wheel driver, content creator, and a woman who chose to keep going when everything in her wanted to stop.

Liv opens up about losing her little sister Paris, hitting rock bottom, and how getting back into hunting and the outdoors became the thing that pulled her through. She shares the story of how she started her platform to encourage others to get out there and live fully — and how one video changed everything.

We talk about Tikka (the nine-year-old wolf hound bull Arab who is very clearly running the show), hunting pigs in Cape York rainforest, driving Gunshot Creek at the start of the season, girls-only hunting trips, the wild boar she slow-cooked for sixty wedding guests the night before her own wedding, and what "just send it" actually means when life gets hard.

Liv also shares some exciting news about the next chapter of her life — and it's a big one.

IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:

• How Liv's platform This Is Livin' was born out of grief — and why she chose to share that story publicly • The moment the platform took off and the message that made her and Tommy cry • How she got into hunting — and how Tikka chose her (not the other way around) • Pig hunting in Cape York rainforest and what it's like to walk into a canopy so thick it blocks out the sun • Driving Gunshot Creek at the start of the season — as the second lot of cars through the Teletrack • What it's like to be a woman in a male-dominated four-wheel drive and hunting community • The girls-only hunting trips and why they're one of her favourite things • Tommy's alter ego in the field (the man who genuinely thinks he is a pig dog) • The crankiest pig Liv has ever encountered — and Tikka coming down the hill to save the day • Slow-cooking a wild boar for sixty wedding guests the night before her own wedding • Her favourite venison recipe (and the gnocchi hot tip you need to try) • What the outdoors has taught her about how capable she actually is • The big news she hadn't yet shared on social media
