A time for kindness

2023-12-06T08:43:59+10:00December 6th, 2023|lifestyle|

We're fast approaching that time of year again. The time for parties, celebrations, catching up with family and friends, or missing family and friends if you can't be with them. It's a time of year to be kind to each other. We're all busy, stressed and this year many of us will be feeling the financial pinch. Maybe this might be a good year [...]

It’s time to be intentional!

2023-11-16T12:25:45+10:00November 15th, 2023|lifestyle|

We're heading fast towards the crazy end of the year so it's important that you do all the things you want to do and none of the things that you don't. People get busy, offices close for the Christmas/New Year period, restaurants book out. Don't miss out simply because you didn't pre-plan and think ahead. If you want to buy a house, get your [...]

I want it all! I even want balance…

2023-11-07T09:17:48+10:00October 31st, 2023|lifestyle|

Do you ever feel like you're an all or nothing kinda person? I'm a pretty driven, focused woman and every now and then I get my teeth into something and I love it. I don't just love it. I LOVE IT! I can see where it's leading me, I can see what it will bring. I'm energised and excited by it - whatever "it" [...]

Can we talk about the Matildas for a minute?

It seems that everyone else is, so why not us! How incredibly awesome are they as individuals, women, athletes, a team, ambassadors for Australia, soccer and women's sport! I'm amazed and delighted at the excitement, engagement, passion, pride and even obsession this World Cup competition and this team are igniting across the country and the world. From little kids to hardcore macho males, to [...]

It’s all about balance

2023-06-05T18:39:23+10:00May 31st, 2023|lifestyle|

Last weekend I took my team to Hamilton Island for two nights of R&R, team building, bonding and fun. Every day, Monday to Friday, 9am-ish to 5pm-ish, we’re together, working. Achieving our goals, aiming to surpass our customer’s expectations, beating deadlines, figuring out solutions, learning, growing and trying to do better. It’s been an incredibly tough environment for the past few years but despite [...]

Bring on 50!

2023-05-18T09:47:45+10:00May 10th, 2023|lifestyle|

Last week I celebrated a significant milestone birthday. And I celebrated well! During the cutting of the cake I had many calls for “make a wish”, and it had me stumped for a moment because I truly couldn’t think of anything to wish for. I realised that I had everything in life that I could wish for. I have a beautiful partner and [...]

The value of love, gratitude and happiness

2023-04-27T10:54:12+10:00April 27th, 2023|lifestyle|

I’ve just finished reading Anh Do’s biography, The Happiest Refugee, and it has left me with an immense feeling of happiness and gratitude. What an amazing man, family and life! From a toddler who nearly lost his life at the hands of pirates whilst at sea escaping a communist regime, to a household name and one of Australia’s most loved celebrities, the man and [...]

I want more!

2023-04-19T10:53:07+10:00April 19th, 2023|lifestyle|

Last week I wrote about my experience of writing a list about things I wanted to do for myself rather than my usual lists for work and caring for everyone else. My list included things like getting organised, being mindful, moving more, catching up with friends, etc, etc. I thought back about my list over the next few days and thought back to my [...]

It’s time to switch the focus

2023-04-12T08:10:40+10:00April 12th, 2023|lifestyle|

Sometimes I get a bit lost in lists. I have lists of things to do for customers, lists for my business, lists for my team, my family, my shopping… And they all list, sometimes in great detail, the things I have to do for other people. Which is great because it keeps me organised and on task. But sometimes I really need to focus [...]

It can’t possibly take 138 years, can it?

As a female business owner, employing a team of fabulous women, with a mission of empowering women to take control of their finances, International Women’s Day is a big deal to me. It’s really not so long ago that life was very different for us. We were often stay at home mothers, prohibited to even work once we were married, let alone own [...]
