The world is a lot right now. There is a lot to absorb. The uncertainty, the pressure, the costs! 

What do we do? 

This will hit a nerve for half of you reading this.

You know who you are - you're the ones who've spent your entire lives being the giver, the helper, the one everyone turns to when shit hits the fan. You're the emotional support human, the unpaid therapist, the one who drops everything to sort everyone else's problems while your own life falls apart in the background.

This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week. I get asked a lot to share my experience of ADHD.

I spent the weekend in the Blue Mountains with some very awesome women.

The only upside to the bullshit that International Women's Day has become is that there are often gatherings of and organised by awesome women!

This Saturday is International Women’s Day. 

When I read the theme of #IWD my first thought was #WTF!

“Give to Gain”. Scrambled my head. My first thought was how women give constantly day in, day out! Ironically often for very little personal gain! 

Being at your best is often a result of the people that you spend time with. I had three days last week hanging out with a group of people that feel like home. A group of people who challenge me, who light me up and add enormously to my energy.

Happy Chinese New Year!

I love New Year - January 1st, Chinese New Year & Matariki - all give us opportunities to reset and recreate who and what we are.

As a personal development junkie, I love seeing people change and develop. I love watching people grow - people becoming something.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. – Elbert Hubbard

I find it boring how serious some people are. And I love the quote above. Life is temporary and I think that it is our job to enjoy it.

Self-Abandonment is sneaky. You are going about your life. Doing all the things, getting stuff done and then you wake up one day exhausted. Not physically but emotionally.

Freedom has always been one of my highest values and as I get older I seem to crave more and more of it!

How many times have you had a strong gut feeling about something - a business decision, a relationship, a creative direction - only to talk yourself out of it? 

I am starting the year with a huge focus on protecting my energy.
I have been writing a list of permissions that I am giving myself in 2026. 

So 2025 is all but gone!

We get to restart. To refresh our lives and wipe the slate clean!

It is possible that Boxing Day is my favourite day of the year. 
Not just this year but every year! 

I love Christmas but this year I am super aware of the amount of obligation involved. It’s not a new thing - just something that I can no longer unsee.

I am away at Repotted this week and one of the big conversations we will be having is about the roles that we play. 

I often get asked if I am tired.

2026 is only 45 days away. 45 days until the New Year. 

November for me is a month of possibility. December always seems full of the end of this and the end of that… celebrations, shopping and finishing things up.

This is for you if you are parenting children. If not, maybe forward this to someone who is!
