To the mums doing everything, the seen and unseen work of motherhood, Happy Mother’s Day. 🤍

To the single mums carrying the mental load alone.
To the mums working long hours then coming home to a second shift.
To the mums who show up exhausted anyway.
To the stepmums, grandmothers, aunties, foster mums, and women quietly mothering others every day.
To the mums who never make it into the photo because they were the one taking it.
To the mums making childhood magical through love, strength, sacrifice and consistency.

You are extraordinary.

Motherhood isn’t measured by recognition or perfection, but by the love, safety and support you give your children every single day. It’s built in the everyday moments: the comforting, encouraging, organising, worrying, nurturing and loving that shapes a child’s world.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the women holding families together in a hundred different ways. 💕💐

Farewell 2025 — the year of plot twists and personal growth. Kindly requesting a more stable season in 2026.

It sounds like 2025 was a tough year for a lot of people. Still, there’s something meaningful in the growth, the lessons learned the hard way, and the resilience it took just to keep going. And even in the heaviness, there were happy moments worth holding onto. ✨ Growth isn’t gentle, but maybe remembering both the pain and the beauty is what carries us toward something brighter.

Here’s to a brighter, calmer, and happier 2026 for all! 💛

Merry Christmas! 🎄 Wishing you nothing but happiness this festive season. ✨

Some stories live in the shadows — misunderstood, overlooked, or unspoken. Stepping outside my comfort zone to speak about the intersection of menopause and ADHD reminded me how powerful open conversations can be — and of the gentle truth that a mind that works differently is not flawed, only misunderstood.

“The Fog and The Fury” is a podcast worth exploring for anyone navigating perimenopause and ADHD. It brings together experts — doctors, researchers, coaches — to shed light on experiences that deserve to be heard and understood. It was a privilege to be part of it.

Wishing everyone a very happy Easter break!

BIO-REMODELLING INJECTABLE. If you want deeply hydrated, smoother and firmer skin that glows from within, this is the treatment you need to know about.

The bio-remodelling injectable is pure hyaluronic acid, the same natural sugar molecule found in the skin responsible for hydration and elasticity. It is injected into 5 precise points on each side of the face from where it spreads, deeply hydrating the skin and stimulating collagen and elastin production. It increases firmness and elasticity, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and provides lasting hydration. The bio-remodelling injectable helps to remodel the skin without changing the structure or shape of facial features, creating a fresher, more youthful appearance.

The treatment is suitable for everyone, whether aiming to optimise hydration and prevent premature aging, or to reverse the signs of aging. For patients in their 20’s and 30’s it works as preventative treatment and deep hydration booster. For patients in their 40’s to 70’s it can help to tighten and smooth skin, and help reverse the signs of aging.

A very hot 8km completed in the Endo-End Fun Run this morning to to raise awareness and funds for Endometriosis Australia

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women, with over 830,000 Australian women suffering from the disease.

Symptoms such as pain, cramping, bloating, fatigue and nausea cost endometriosis patients time, money and quality of life.

Endometriosis costs on average $30,000 per endometriosis patient per year. In turn, endometriosis costs the Australian economy approximately $9.7 billion every year.

Please consider making a donation to Endometriosis Australia. Endometriosis Australia endeavours to increase recognition of endometriosis, provide endometriosis education programs, and help fund endometriosis research.

On 19 February 2020, 3 years ago today, Hannah Clarke and her 3 young children Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey lost their lives in a horrific act of domestic violence. This final unspeakable act by Hannah’s estranged husband followed years of abuse by coercive control at his hands.

Following this tragedy many people became aware of the term coercive control for the first time. In the days that followed, hearing Sue and Lloyd Clarke describe the emotional and psychological abuse that Hannah had endured from her estranged husband for years sent chills down my spine. They described virtually a carbon copy of someone I knew and it felt all too close to home. It confirmed my fears that these patterns of controlling behaviour are extremely worrying even without any previous physical violence.

Coercive control leads to isolation, lowers self esteem and destroys all feelings of self worth. It makes you second guess your sanity and you are made to feel like you are the problem, that if you could just behave better everything would be okay, yet no matter how hard you try it will never be enough. Even in the absence of prior physical violence, it is a significant predictor of intimate partner homicide.

Let’s teach our daughters how to recognise the warning signs of narcissism in a potential partner, and help them to understand what a loving relationship should actually look like. Let’s look out for our friends and family members and recognise when they are being manipulated. Let’s not be charmed by the seemingly loving, caring partner who love bombs their partner, showering their spouse with gifts and affection in the beginning, then excuse their bad behaviour as being out of character instead of recognising that they are finally showing their true colours.

Together we can work to HALT - H (Hannah) A (Aaliyah) L (Laianah) T (Trey) - domestic and family violence in Australia.

If you would like to pay your respects to Hannah, Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey, please light a candle and share to social media this evening tagging
