Big Christmas Miracle PSA: last year I discussed all of my own that you can blend biscuits instead of crush them so there's no inconsistency in texture. Did we all know this already or am I solely a genius? 😅

Too busy doing a second bail check on a known offender to be doing early intervention perhaps? 🫠

I don't believe police are ever the first or second or third option but does yet they are never in the CBD available if needed. Bell St Mall is the only way to access essential services like the housing hub but tell me why I just watched a young girl be approached aggressively by a drug affected man. I feel so guilty because I was too scared to stay and watch what happened because I was scared for my own safety so I'm making this reel to bring some awareness and validation to the issue. Do you feel it's getting worse at the moment as well?

I deserve an honourary HR degree after this year 😅

I hate to yeet you into the new year before it's even Christmas... and we're all taking it moment by moment to survive, right? BUT this event did sell out so quickly last year and I'm limiting it to 15 spots this year so there's less noise and chaos. New building + vibe too. Same rock up and everything is provided energy.

Link in bio to secure your spot before everyone else thinks about it and books haha! Or book via this link - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/values-vibes-vision-boards-tickets-1959762445229?aff=oddtdtcreator

I was in Aldi and saw a kids’ game called “Don’t Wake Dad" while having a million emotions and thoughts rush through me.

For many people who have experienced domestic and family violence, that’s not a game. That’s a rule. That’s survival. That’s learning to move quietly, read the room, monitor footsteps, and keep the peace.

It also landed harder because we’re heading into Christmas which is a time when domestic and family violence is known to increase, when stress, alcohol, financial pressure, and patriarchy collide.

And let’s be honest: a lot of us already carry memories of Christmas where one person’s mood set the tone for the entire day. Where “don’t wake dad” wasn’t playful, it was about avoiding anger, disappointment, or violence. Where joy was conditional.

I’m sure the game is meant to be harmless. But context matters. And for victim-survivors, these things don’t exist in a vacuum.

If you ever notice yourself having big emotions to what look like “small” things such as a toy, a phrase, a "joke:, a tradition, please don’t be mad at yourself. You're not overreacting, you survived big things.

Personally, I think this needs to be changed to "don't wake mum." Why? She's tired from carrying the mental load of organising the entirety of Christmas from presents, food, plans, the inadequacy of other people etc. Maybe she needs a sleep in... and a game dedicated to her.

If you're looking for a gift you can't find anywhere else that supports neurodivergent folks to access social + therapeutic group support, head on down to and give us your support 💪

The coffee is stunning too. I was in Sydney recently and all I wanted was a copper bench brew. Very sensory friendly with low lighting and the nicest humans ever who work there (but don't yap too much of you just want a low-key experience haha).

Open everyday before Xmas until 2pm I believe 💗

Have I ever told you know much I love scrolling every page of every website ever to find some niche thing I'm looking for that only exists in my brain but has to exist in perfection on a website somewhere that I will search this earth for? I put that skill to use to make this. What inspo for gifts should I do next? Any other ideas so we can just pick something off a list on a gift guide somewhere and be done with it (lovingly etc)? 😅

Can't control much in this frenetic feeling world we're currently experiencing but I can build intentional community where we head to the local pool for our end of year celebration of all that we've done (laugh, cried, practiced skills, shown up, let me swipe tinder, brought your fur baby when subsequently threw up on my couch 😅).

I've included a picture of my work appropriate swimwear for a laugh. While I was swimming and being an absolute menace embarrassing myself so everyone else felt like a socially graceful human, I had a moment of "wow, I made this" and I felt so proud of myself. Because it feels so good. I've made something that I love rocking up to every week and something I would have loved to attend as a participant. Everyone checks in on each other always, everyone notices if someone isn't there that week and asks me where they are + to check on them, and everyone is so wildly different but loved for who they are. Can't get much better than that 💗
