School holidays, Day 6: I thought I’d be the “fun parent”—baking cookies, doing science experiments, planning museum trips. Reality check: we’re out of flour, the volcano exploded in the kitchen, and the only trip we’re taking is to the supermarket (again).

Yesterday, I tried to sneak a quiet moment in the bathroom—within 30 seconds, two kids, the dog, and a suspiciously sticky toy joined me. Privacy? Not during school holidays!
Survival tips from a seasoned pro:

If you hear silence, investigate. Quickly.
Rotate hiding spots (kids are getting smarter).

Bribery with ice cream is totally acceptable.
Remember, bedtime is a team sport—never attempt it alone.

We’re all just doing our best! Drop your funniest holiday fail or your go-to sanity saver below. Solidarity, parents! 😂🙈

There are few pains deeper than the ache of a child turning away. Whether your son or daughter is seven or forty-seven, the silence and distance can feel unbearable. You remember their laughter, their hand in yours, the way you once fit so easily into their world. Now, there may be only closed doors, unanswered messages, or polite distance that feels like an ocean.

If you’re a parent feeling lost—grieving what was and desperate for connection—you’re not alone. The heartbreak is real, and it’s okay to admit that it hurts.
Here’s a difficult truth: no matter how old your child becomes, you remain the parent. The responsibility to reach out, to try again, to model forgiveness and acceptance, rests with us. It isn’t about blame—it’s about showing our children what unconditional love looks like, even when it’s hard.

It isn’t easy. But your child is always your child. As parents, we are called to keep the door open and lead with love, no matter how hard it gets.

Last week I had the privilege of spending time in Temora – connecting with incredible people, hearing powerful stories, and being reminded (once again) why this work matters so deeply.

Waiting for me in the office was the most beautiful surprise: new artwork, lovingly created by some very special artists – my family.
From the outside, they’re just canvases.
But to me, each one is a little piece of my heart, painted in colour.
Every piece holds a memory.
Every colour carries a feeling.

These canvases are more than decoration. They are a reminder that behind every professional title is a human being with a family, a story, and a heart that needs tending too. They remind me that the work we do in trauma-informed care starts at home – with connection, kindness, and the people who stand beside us when no one is watching.

To my beautiful family: thank you.
For your time, your creativity, your thoughtfulness, and your love splashed across these canvases. You have turned my office into a sanctuary, and I will carry your artwork with me into every session, every training, every conversation.

Each canvas on my wall is a little piece of my heart.
