I had the privilege of attending workshop on Thursday at Wanaka❤️ She is real and personal.

She specializes in Grief & Resilience and has both personal and professional experience.

I have just finished watching her podcast on between two beers 🍻 and she has a Ted talk you can find here: https://youtu.be/NWH8N-BvhAw?si=ytYRuFOqz0ky_j0s

The photos are of the strengths cards she works with in her workshops and her article in the AA magazine.

There’s a weight many women carry… and it’s not always visible.

It looks like being reliable. Capable. The one who holds it all together.

But underneath?

It’s the mental load.
The emotional responsibility.
The constant awareness of everyone else’s needs.

I recently stepped away from a role that was “only” 20 hours a week.
But it was never just the hours — it was the responsibility that came with it.

Layer that with running a business, family life, and community commitments… and suddenly the weight adds up.

And I see it everywhere.

Women navigating loss, change, full lives — still feeling the pull to be everything for everyone.

So let’s ask the question:

👉 Why do we feel responsible for so much?

Is it ingrained… or is it learned?

Because somewhere along the way, many of us were taught: Be the helper.
Be the strong one.
Don’t let anyone down.

But here’s the shift:

✨ Responsibility without boundaries becomes burden.

And that burden builds quietly… until it feels heavy.

So what if we redefined responsibility?

What if being responsible included being responsible to yourself?

Not everything is yours to carry.
Not every gap is yours to fill.
Not every “yes” is required.

You’re allowed to: • Step back
• Share the load
• Choose yourself earlier, not last

Because your worth is not measured by how much you carry.

And when the weight lifts — even just a little — you can finally breathe again.

What offends you and why?

23/04/2026

Someone asked me yesterday if I was pregnant.

And no… I’m not 😄

But here’s the interesting part.............I wasn’t offended.
In fact, I found myself laughing.

Not because the question was “appropriate” (we all know it’s a risky one),
but because it didn’t hit anything inside me.

There was no insecurity for it to land on.
No story running in the background.
No meaning attached.

So instead of reacting, I could just see the moment for what it was… human.

Meanwhile, she was absolutely mortified.
Apologising, flustered, wanting the ground to swallow her whole.

And I reassured her, genuinely, I was okay.

It got me thinking…

We’re not usually offended by what’s said.
We’re offended by what resonates.

If something hooks into a belief we already carry about our body, our worth, our identity—that’s when it stings.

But when it doesn’t connect to anything within us?

We can laugh.
We can let it go.
We can even take it as a compliment (I mean… I’ll take “you look young enough to be pregnant” any day 😉).

Not everything needs to be taken personally.
And not every comment needs to become a story.

Sometimes it’s just a moment.
And sometimes… it’s actually a funny one.

I'm so grateful to everyone who supported my book launch & Wellbeing Connections Event on Sunday ❤️

Events take a lot of planning, promotion, time, energy and commitment. It's all worth it though when I can see people connecting with others and having magical conversations ✨️

Thank you to the following practitioners who supported this event:

Thank you for the work you do to support our community and their wellbeing and for your support for one another.

Women who support other women in business and in life are my people and I'm so grateful to have you all in my life.

Launching a book which is personal is scary. Having your attention, your questions and curiosity on Sunday, made me feel safe to release it to the world 🌎, so thank you to those who attended as you were all a part of a very special evening.

I'm feeling the love right now and am excited to see what's next ❤️

I didn't want a book launch to be just about me and my book. I wanted it to be about people, about connection and about Wellbeing.

I needed a place...
I needed people I beleive in and who beleive in me...
I needed the physical book...
I needed an intention...
I needed a why...
I needed a time and date...

I have promoted online, in person and in the community. Conversations and connections. No forcing, no selling, just information and an opportunity.

Whoever comes tomorrow night will be who needs to be there. I'm always very trusting in if its 1 or 100 people, they will get the same attention and energy ✨️

It only takes one pebble to make a ripple and you never know who that pebble will be.

Still time to get your tickets online here or at the door:

Timeliness for tomorrow's book launch & Wellbeing connections Event ✨️📚❤️

So excited to bring people together with their community to empower others and prioritize their WELLBEING.

There’s a quiet kind of healing that happens when just one person truly hears you.

Not a whole room of opinions.
Not ten people trying to fix you.
Not advice you didn’t ask for.
Just one person.

One person who sits with you.
Who doesn’t rush your words.
Who doesn’t turn your story into their own.

Who doesn’t need to be the expert, the fixer, or the hero.

Just someone who listens… properly.
Because when you’re going through something heavy, it’s not always solutions you’re craving — it’s connection. It’s feeling seen. It’s knowing that what you’re carrying matters.

And sometimes, that’s all it takes.
One safe space.
One steady presence.
One moment where you don’t feel so alone in it all.

If you’re in a challenging season right now, don’t underestimate the power of finding that one person. And if you can be that person for someone else… that’s a gift that goes further than you’ll ever know. 💛

Feeling lost?

I’ve been there.

Losing parts of yourself you thought were permanent… stepping into new identities you didn’t choose… navigating grief, health challenges, and the quiet question of “who am I now?”

It’s disorienting. It’s heavy. And it can feel incredibly lonely.

But what I’ve come to learn is this: feeling lost isn’t the end of you… it’s the beginning of a deeper connection back to yourself.

Every challenge, every shift, every moment of uncertainty is gently (and sometimes not so gently) guiding you back to your heart. Back to what truly matters. Back to the environment, the people, and the practices that support your wellbeing.

That’s why I’ve created this space.

My book launch isn’t just about a book, it’s about connection. It’s about coming together with women who understand, who have walked their own versions of “lost,” and who are ready to find themselves again.

If you’ve been feeling unsure, disconnected, or like you’re standing at a crossroads in your life… this is your invitation.

Come as you are. You don’t need to have it all figured out.

Sometimes, finding your way starts with simply showing up 🤍
