You could forgive her for being content to be a mother, business owner and mentor.
But not Kylie, who has now added author to her impressive repertoire.

Empowering Woman Empowering the World, which is available to buy online, is an inspirational collaboration of 15 successful Australian women.
Its condensed narrations will uplift and inspire readers to believe in their own ability to live their best life and reach their own goals, no matter how inaccessible they may seem.
Kylie, who drew inspiration from her own lived experiences and those of other inspirational women to produce the book, said it recounts the journeys of empowered women.
"However each is distinctively different," Kylie said.

"From the international superstar who owns and operates Garage Ink Manor to the local Benalla business owner with an unbelievable backstory, the book gathers a variety of female voices to portray just how diverse, unique and obtainable feminine success can be."Each chapter is a snapshot of a journey as defined it in late 2019, a brief synopsis of a life that in many cases is a reimagining of what is possible through the harnessing of a positive mindset and constructive focus."
The novel offers insight into the rebuilding and redesigning of lives after unexpected challenges, vulnerability, disconnection and in many cases destructive forces."My particular contribution is a candid introduction to my ongoing career objective to connect parents with their children; particularly mothers with their daughters," Kylie said.

"Looking back on a history that was always repressed and hidden with new understanding, that continues to develop and evolve with each new layer of study.
"Through my chapter the reader will witness the journey to a happier, healthier perspective and through this, recognise how the mind can be fortified as a powerful resource."Covering heartbreak, frustration, anxiety and isolation, through to courage, conviction, determination and triumph, it is a journey through the darkest of biographies to the heights of transformational success."When approached by the publisher to contribute to the collaboration I knew that it was a step that would be contentious.
All packed up with nowhere to go
"It is all very well to read fictional novels of abuses, body dysmorphia and self-harm but quite another to openly reveal that story as your own, especially as a business owner in a small rural town.
"However, I knew that my history had made me the educator and mentor I am today and if I could help just one teenage girl find the light at the end of her own dark tunnel of despair then it would be worth it."My publisher has commented that, 'The way you express your feelings with words is like Beethoven created music with emotion, intensity and created a huge impact'."
Kylie said that the unprecedented context of 2020 has meant that her career and business development ideas had transformed into something altogether new.
"I have continued to evolve and adapt as a woman and my ongoing study and education in mind-body and neurological processes have assisted me to reimagine, redesign and recreate again, in a time of such pivotal change where we are all adapting and overcoming these new challenges," she said.
"It is such an opportune moment to share these empowering stories.

"I've had some wonderful support with pre-sale orders and they will be shipped out to individuals in coming days."
Kylie said thanks to COVID-19 an official book launch in Benalla has had to be put on the backburner."However, when the time comes for the recommencement of community events there will certainly be opportunities for an official launch including readings and signings," she said.
As of this week, the book will be available from Fokus Footwear & Accessories/Strictly Feet at 103-105 Bridge Street and Lavish Skin Therapy Clinic at 23 Carrier Street Benalla will also be a stockist.• For more information or to order Empowering Woman Empowering the Worldthis link online, visit It is currently available at the pre-sale price of $19.99.
