Your body hears everything your mind says.⠀
⠀
The way you speak to yourself matters.⠀
Every thought. Every label. Every quiet criticism.⠀
⠀
Your nervous system is listening.⠀
Your muscles are listening.⠀
Your heart is listening.⠀
⠀
So soften the tone.⠀
Swap “I’m not enough” for “I’m learning.”⠀
Swap “I hate this” for “I’m growing.”⠀
⠀
Speak to yourself the way you would to someone you love.⠀
Because you are someone you love 🤍⠀

Your vulnerability is not a weakness.⠀
It’s an invitation.⠀
⠀
An invitation to connect.⠀
To remember that we’re all just humans trying to navigate this life the best we can.⠀
In Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens we call this Common Humanity.⠀
⠀
Every time you choose honesty over hiding, you plant a seed. 🌱⠀
A seed that says, “It’s safe to be real here.”⠀
A seed that gives someone else permission to take off the mask.⠀
⠀
That kind of courage?⠀
It changes rooms.⠀
It changes relationships.⠀
It changes lives.⠀

We’ll be fully there for our favourite show.⠀
For a yoga class.⠀
For the aesthetic morning coffee we decided to romanticise.⠀
⠀
But at work? We’re dreaming about the beach.⠀
And on the beach — drink in hand, sun on our skin — we’re thinking about emails.⠀
⠀
The distraction we choose in one moment becomes the distraction we can’t control in the next.⠀
⠀
When we constantly train our minds to be somewhere else, we slowly lose the ability to be anywhere at all.⠀
⠀
Presence isn’t selective.⠀
It’s a practice.⠀
⠀
If you let your mind live everywhere but here, you’ll always feel slightly removed from your own life.⠀
⠀
Being present isn’t just a mindfulness trend — it’s the only way to experience a life that feels rich, grounded, and deeply yours.⠀
⠀
Be where your feet are. 🤍⠀

This week of running:⠀
⠀
Week 5 – Ballarat Marathon Training 🏃‍♀️⠀
⠀
This week looked like grit, balance and a whole lot of early alarms.⠀
⠀
Monday night hills with Byron at Absolute Edge Fitness – long hill sprints. Hard work. Big lungs. Strong legs. Still somehow fun.⠀
⠀
Tuesday was a rest day (well… kind of). You'll find me teaching 3 classes at Salt Yoga Christies Beach for the next week - Come and flow with me!⠀
Wednesday night:⠀
5 min warm up⠀
3 x 7 min intervals⠀
Controlled discomfort. Finding rhythm.⠀
⠀
Thursday long run – meant to be 20km but cut it short for a massage. Listening to my body is part of the training too.⠀
⠀
Then Marion Bay for a long weekend with friends 🌊⠀
⠀
Friday rest day.⠀
⠀
Surf mornings meant even earlier morning runs through a quiet little country town Saturday and Sunday. Salty air. Empty streets. Just me and the sound of my feet on the road.⠀
⠀
Ballarat, I’m coming for you.⠀
⠀

Self-love.⠀
Self-respect.⠀
Self-worth.⠀
⠀
There’s a reason they all start with *self* — because they can’t be built by relying on someone else to give them to you.⠀
⠀
Loving yourself means being on your own side. Having your own back. Trusting your voice. Believing you are worthy of the space you take up.⠀
⠀
There is a part of you quietly waiting… hoping… for you to choose yourself.⠀
⠀
Maybe today is the day you finally ⠀

Within the body you are wearing, now, ⠀
inside the bones and beating on the heart, ⠀
lives the one you have been searching ⠀
for so long. ⠀
⠀
But you must stop moving and shake hands. ⠀
The meeting doesn't happen without your presence, ⠀
your participation. ⠀
⠀
The same one waiting for you ⠀
there is moving in the trees,⠀
glistening on the water, growing ⠀
in the grasses⠀
and lurking in the shadows you create. ⠀
⠀
You have nowhere to go. ⠀
The marriage happened long ago.⠀
Behold your mate.⠀
⠀

Within the Body You are Wearing

10/02/2026

A lot can happen in a single day. Sometimes in our own lives. Sometimes in the world around us. And even on the days where it feels like nothing happened, you still carried thoughts, emotions, responsibilities and expectations that others may never see.⠀
⠀
Courage isn’t about eliminating fear or pretending things don’t feel hard. Courage is gathering every resource you have — your resilience, your hope, your patience, your willingness to keep going — so that when life feels heavy, you don’t get pulled under by hopelessness.⠀
⠀
You might not be able to fix every situation. You might not be able to take away someone else’s pain, or even your own straight away. But no one deserves to feel alone while they’re going through something hard.⠀
⠀
Sometimes courage looks like reaching out.⠀
Sometimes it looks like listening.⠀
Sometimes it looks like simply making it to the end of the day.⠀
⠀
And that is enough.⠀
⠀

This week in running:⠀
Week 5 – Ballarat Marathon Training 🏃‍♀️⠀
⠀
Ballarat Marathon is nearly sold out (which is wild!), so if you’ve been thinking about signing up, this might be your sign.⠀
⠀
Monday night I had my first run training session with Byron at Absolute Edge Fitness. Getting feedback on my form was really helpful, and running alongside other people brought a completely different energy. ⠀
⠀
Tuesday stayed as a rest day while I taught yoga at Salt Yoga. I also used the slower pace of the day to go for a walk with a friend after school drop off, which felt just as valuable as a training session.⠀
⠀
Wednesday night was a tempo run — 20 minutes at a comfortably hard pace — while my daughter was at gymnastics. ⠀
⠀
Thursday was an easy recovery run — simple, relaxed, and focused on time on feet.⠀
⠀
Friday was my 15km long run. It was still tough. The weather was hot and I felt like I might have been fighting something off, so I focused on staying at a comfortable pace instead of pushing.⠀
⠀
Saturday morning was Moana Parkrun with the family ❤️ I ran with my 7-year-old while my husband ran with our 10-year-old. Watching them both grow more confident with the 5km distance has been nice to be a part of.⠀
⠀
Ballarat, we keep moving forward.

Most days feel full before they even begin. By the time night comes, it’s easy to fall into bed without ever asking how you actually went.

Here are some simple things you can ask yourself. Not to criticise the day. Not to fix everything. Just to notice.

P.S. This is the actual sound of Nusa Lembongan at 6am in the morning 💕
