Last week I gathered for two days of Mental Health First Aid training with a wonderful group of people who showed up ready to learn, share, reflect and support one another. Over the two days we created a respectful, open and supportive space together, which made for a really impactful training experience.

I always hold my public trainings at the Ulverstone Surf Life Saving Club, which I choose very intentionally for this course. Over the two days we talk about big topics and I believe it’s important to hold these conversations in a space that feels calm, safe and grounded. Being by the ocean helps create the right environment for the learning and conversations that happen in this course.

Across the two days we covered how to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems, how to have supportive conversations, how to respond in a crisis, and how to help guide someone towards professional support.

I always leave these courses feeling hopeful, because there are so many people who genuinely want to know how to support others and be there for the people around them.

Congratulations to our newest Mental Health First Aiders. Our communities, workplaces, families and friends are so much better for having you in them 🧡.

My next Mental Health First Aid course is in September. Come + join me for 2 days of impactful learning and receive your three year accreditation. You can book right here https://www.collectivetherapyhub.com.au/event-details-registration/mental-health-first-aid-standard-3.

Having limits does not make you difficult, it doesn't make you selfish, or unkind.

Your limits help you protect your time, your energy, and your wellbeing. They help you stay steady in your relationships instead of overwhelmed or resentful.

When you respect your limits, you can say yes when you mean yes, and no when you mean no.

Limits don’t trap you, they protect you and give you freedom to be honest, present, and well.

You are allowed to have limits, and you are allowed to take care of yourself too. For when you do, everybody benefits 🧡.

Sometimes people think boundaries are about shutting people out or building walls, but healthy boundaries actually do the opposite.

Boundaries help us stay well in our relationships, they help us protect our time, our energy, and our emotional wellbeing.

When we have boundaries, we don’t build resentment as easily, we don’t feel as overwhelmed, and we don’t feel like we have to give more than we have.

Boundaries are not punishment, they are not rejection and they are not unkind.

They are a way of saying this is where I end and you begin, and this is what I need to stay okay.

When when you know your limits and respect them, something interesting happens ... we actually feel more free.

Free to say yes when we mean yes, free to say no when we mean no, free to show up honestly instead of out of obligation and free to stay in relationships without losing ourselves.

Boundaries do not trap us, they protect us and provide us with freedom, at the same time 🧡

Yesterday I attended the Tasmanian Su***de Prevention Forum in Hobart, hosted by the Tasmanian Su***de Prevention Community Network, with this year’s theme ‘From the Ground Up.’

The forum brought together community members, people with lived experience and professionals from across the state for a day of connection, learning and collaboration.

To my dear friend Christina … I am so incredibly proud of you for sharing your story today. Thank you for speaking with such honesty, vulnerability and courage. Witnessing you stand in your strength and truth, and share from such a deeply personal place, was truly moving. I am in awe of you.

As always, my dear friend Miranda, you were brilliant! You offered just what we all needed in the spaces between hearing the hard stories. Your mindfulness sessions invited us to pause, breathe, ground, and gently come back to ourselves. They brought such a sense of calm, care and steadiness to the day, and helped hold the room so beautifully.

I left feeling grateful for the courage shared, the compassion in the room, and the reminder that su***de prevention is about people, connection, community, and the willingness to keep showing up for one another.

A really meaningful day. I feel grateful to have been in that room yesterday surrounded by so many people with big hearts, large compassion, who are all doing such important work.

To the team at Relationships Australia Tasmania, congratulations! The whole day was so thoughtfully curated.

🧡

Harmony Week ... The Drumettes Take the Stage!

This Sunday The Drumettes, both (advanced) + (beginners) will be opening Harmony Week with the rhythm and energy that only a drum circle can bring.

We’ll be kicking off the event at 4pm, setting the tone for an afternoon that celebrates community, culture and connection.

What I love most about this group is how women come together to create something special. We have different rhythms, different instruments, and different journeys, all coming together in one shared beat. We are all feeling pumped!

If you’re coming along to Harmony Week, make sure you arrive early and join us as we start the celebration.

There’s something pretty special about a group of women and a circle of drums.

Sunday | 4pm | Harmony Week I Haines Waterfront Park ... come and feel the rhythm with us, we are counting on some crowd participation! 🪘

You don’t have to rush to fix or judge what you notice.

You can defintely allow yourself the space to pause, breathe, and simply become curious about what is there.

Curiosity can open the door to understanding, and understanding can be a quiet form of care 🧡

12/03/2026

Not everything needs fixing, sometimes understanding is enough.

We can be quick to judge ourselves when something feels uncomfortable, or to analyse it, correct it, or try to make it disappear.

I'm wondering what might happen if, just for a moment, you meet yourself with curiosity instead?

Curiosity sounds like this 👇🏽
'That’s interesting' or 'I wonder what’s going on for me today?'

It creates space to notice what’s there without rushing to change it.

You don’t have to solve everything you feel, sometimes simply understanding yourself a little more is enough 🧡

Miranda from Mindful Mud and I absolutely LOVE our YIN + POTTERY mornings that we have created together.

This was the last one, a couple of weeks ago!

Our next one is up and running and ready for you to book.

We are moving this session to a Saturday morning, with Miranda mindfully guiding you to create a ceramic cup and plate, and I will be slowly guiding you through a YIN practice.

Come + join us for a morning of connection, slowness and a delicious morning tea.

This morning we gathered at The Bluff for Yin Yoga as the sun glistened over the water.

Watching so many women pause (plus some men + boys = brilliant), breathe, move and simply be together was incredibly special … all 86 of you! There was a sense of calm, strength and connection that filled the space.

This afternoon the energy shifted as the drums came out and the rhythm began. The sound of women drumming together, laughing and finding their beat was powerful. There is something magical about rhythm that brings people together so quickly. It’s one of the reasons why I love them!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up today, whether you came to move gently in yin, or to drum, your presence is what made such a brilliant day.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme reminds us that when we give, we gain, and today truly felt like that.

Community, connection, laughter, stillness and rhythm all shared together.

I feel incredibly grateful to hold these spaces for our community.

Thank you for being part of it.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY 🧡

This year’s INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY theme, 'Give to Gain', reminds me of something powerful ... when women support women, everybody rises.

When we give encouragement, we gain confidence. When we give time, we gain connection, and when we give space for another woman to speak, we gain strength in community.

Here is something important too…in the spirit of giving, we must also remember that women need spaces where they don’t only give, they receive.

Receive support, receive understanding, receive rest, receive nourishment and receive space to simply be.

It works like this .... when women are supported (not stretched) we flourish, and when we flourish, our families, workplaces, friendships and communities flourish too.

This International Women’s Day, let’s create spaces where giving and receiving are both honoured. Where we lift each other up, and where we celebrate the courage, wisdom, resilience and heart of women everywhere.

GIVE TO GAIN 2026 🧡

You don’t have to silence the critical voice perfectly., and you don’t have to get it right straight away.

You can notice it, you can pause, and you can respond with something softer.

Kindness toward yourself is something you can practice ... one moment at a time.

I encourage you to give it a go and see if you notice any shifts? 🧡

03/03/2026

That critical voice inside you often learnt its job early.

It may have formed in moments where being hard on yourself felt safer than being disappointed, where striving felt safer than failing and where getting it 'right' felt like protection.

It’s not who you are, it’s a strategy that once tried to protect you.

When you notice self-criticism, instead of fighting it or believing it straight away, try gently asking yourself this ... 'what am I needing right now?'

Underneath the harsh tone there is often something else, a need for reassurance, rest, support, understanding, or space.

The voice may be loud, but it isn’t the whole story.

You are more than your inner critic 🧡
