💜 Momentus Friday – Reflect. Refocus. Reset.

It’s the end of another week and you know what that means… time to celebrate your wins big or small and check in with yourself. ✨

At YUSS, we believe that every week brings lessons, growth, and opportunities to do things even better next time.
So let’s take a minute to reflect 👇

💭 What did you achieve this week?
Maybe you smashed a goal, supported someone in a meaningful way, or simply made it through a tough few days. That’s progress.

💭 What could you tweak for next week?
Sometimes it’s about slowing down, setting clearer priorities, or asking for help and that’s okay too.

Because growth doesn’t happen overnight it happens one week, one win, and one momentus Friday at a time.

🍪 Taste Bud Thursday – Mini Biscoff Cheesecake Cups

Sweet tooth activated? 😍
This week’s Taste Bud Thursday treat is dangerously good creamy, crunchy, caramel-spiced Mini Biscoff Cheesecake Cups!
No oven, no fuss, no regrets just pure dessert bliss.

🛒 You’ll Need:

For the Base:

200g Biscoff biscuits about 15–18 cookies

80g unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

250g cream cheese, softened

½ cup thickened cream or heavy cream

¼ cup Biscoff spread

¼ cup icing sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

2 tbsp Biscoff spread melted for drizzling

Crushed Biscoff biscuits for garnish

👩‍🍳 How to Make It:

1️⃣ Crush & Mix:
Crush the Biscoff biscuits until fine. Combine with melted butter and mix until it looks like wet sand.

2️⃣ Build Your Base:
Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the biscuit mixture into small cups, jars, or ramekins. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon. Pop into the fridge while you prep the filling.

3️⃣ Whip the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add Biscoff spread, icing sugar, and vanilla extract mix until creamy. Fold in the whipped cream until light and fluffy.

4️⃣ Assemble:
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over your chilled base. Smooth the top or leave it with soft swirls we’re not judging.

5️⃣ Top It Off:
Drizzle melted Biscoff spread over the top and sprinkle with crushed biscuits.

6️⃣ Chill Time:
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours overnight if you can resist.

✨ Serve & Enjoy:

Grab a spoon, dig in, and thank yourself for making dessert magic happen.

Because at YUSS, we believe in celebrating life’s little wins one bite at a time. 💜

💬 Let’s Talk Tuesday – NDIS Price Guide Update

The NDIS has released a targeted update to the Price Guide, focusing on minor adjustments and clarifications rather than a full review.

While the changes might look small, they’re an important step in keeping things clear and consistent for both participants and providers. These updates aim to tidy up existing guidelines and make it easier for everyone to understand how supports are billed and delivered.

At YUSS, we’re across the details so you don’t have to worry about the fine print. Our team is here to help you understand what these updates mean for your plan, your funding, and your supports moving forward.

As always, our goal is simple: to keep you informed, empowered, and confident when navigating the NDIS. 💜

If you’ve got questions or need help understanding how these changes affect you, reach out to your YUSS team, we’re here to help.

🍩 Hump Day Humour 🍩

Let’s be real by Wednesday, most of us are running on caffeine, sarcasm, and pure willpower.

So when someone says “healthy eating,” yeah… we totally get it. We blew the sugar off our donut too. Balanced diet achieved. ✅

Because here at YUSS, we believe in celebrating progress, not perfection whether that’s smashing your goals or just surviving the week😂

Sometimes a mid-week laugh is exactly what the doctor ordered. Take five, grab your coffee and your donut, and remember balance is everything.

💬 Let’s Talk Tuesday: Short Term Respite Same Support, Smarter Name

The NDIS has refreshed how it talks about Short Term Accommodation it’s now called Short Term Respite.
Because it’s not just a place to stay… it’s a space to rest, recharge, and reconnect.

🧡 What is Short Term Respite?
It’s designed to give you a short break from your usual care setup and to give your family, friends, or carers (your primary informal supports) time to take care of themselves too.
When carers get time to rest, they can keep providing the love and care that truly makes a difference.

💡 It’s not about the accommodation it’s about the support.
Whether you’re at home, in a cabin, hotel, or short-stay rental Short Term Respite is all about helping you and your supports maintain balance.

👇 Here’s what you need to know

✅ Who it’s for:
Participants who live with or receive daily care 6+ hours a day from family or informal supports.
Families supporting a child with disability whose needs are above what’s typical for their age.

🚫 It’s not for:
Participants already living independently with paid supports like Supported Independent Living.
Situations like holidays, events, or standard community activities these aren’t covered under respite.

🏡 What it can include:
Support with everyday activities.
Standard accommodation clean, safe, accessible.
Overnight support where needed.
Breaks taken at home or away whatever helps you and your supports recharge.

💰 Funding and flexibility:
Funded under your Core Budget.
Can be used flexibly in group or individual settings.
Up to 28 days per year, max 14 days at a time.
You only pay for what you use no full-day charge if you don’t stay the full day.

🟣 Why the name change matters:
When the NDIA spoke with participants, families, and carers, most said “Short Term Respite” better captures the heart of what this support really means caring for the carers and sustaining support relationships that matter.
It’s a shift from “where you stay” to how you’re supported.

✨ At YUSS, we help you navigate these updates with confidence.
Whether it’s understanding funding, planning your supports, or finding the right respite option our team’s here to make it make sense.

Because rest isn’t optional it’s essential.
And when everyone’s supported, everyone wins. 💜

⚡️ Momentous Friday is HERE ⚡️

The coffee’s kicked in, the week’s nearly done, and your energy’s somewhere between “CEO of Chaos” and “Let’s just make it to 5pm.” 😅

At YUSS, we call that a momentous vibe.
Because even when life feels like a never-ending loading screen you’re still showing up, doing the work, and making things happen. 💜

This Friday’s your reminder that:
✨ You’ve achieved more than you’re giving yourself credit for.
✨ The messy days count too.
✨ You don’t have to have it all figured out you just have to keep going.

So take a second celebrate you.
The wins. The lessons. The fact you made it through the week without throwing your laptop.

Drop your Friday feels below 👇
Are we vibing, surviving, or ready to nap until Monday? 😴
