I’m one of those weirdos who really loves their car.

You know the people who name them and keep half their life in there and get weird about other people driving it?….. yep that’s me 🤣

I worked so damn hard for my Sweet potato in a job that I didn’t particularly like, paid for it all myself, never missed a service and have put it in some pretty rough situations. Through it all she’s never skipped a beat…

Just after new year we got hit with a pretty epic hail storm on the farm and now sweet potato has to go away to get her dents fixed.

So I was cleaning my life out of my car and thought I better give it a wipe over and vacuum out because the smooshed biscuits and s**t everywhere that comes from having kids in and out is real.

So after a vacuum, I filled a spray bottle full of kangen water 11.5ph and went to work with the quick wipe over.

Well let me tell you… this water never ceases to amaze me.

I have had a rum and coke sticky spot where my seat bolts to the floor for literally 8 years!!! A drunken passenger from a festival had a whoopsie lol.

I have tried EVERYTHING I could think of to get it off without damaging the interior… even resorting to scrubbing with an old toothbrush… nothing worked.

It was still a gross sticky mess that attracted every speck of dirt untilllllll

A few sprays of 11.5ph water, leave for a min or two and wipe off…

WHAT????

IT WAS THAT EASY????

No more sticky and the interior of my car looks as good as it did when I purchased it.

Never will I use anything else to clean my beautiful sweet potato.

If you live in the hunter valley and would like to try it for yourself send me a msg and I can hook you up… or if you live wherever in the world and are interested in low tox alternatives to go along with the best drinking water available, I’m here for it.

Total crunchy mumma right here.

Find your tribe

All good things.

A friend wrote today about Easter traditions and not getting caught up in the religion or consumerism of the holiday…

Since living in Venezuela I’ve always thought of Easter as Semana Santa (saints week or Holy Week) and even though I consider my beliefs to be more spiritual than anything I’ve always lit candles and been aware of others traditions regarding the week

The question however, made me think… what are our family traditions.

Easter for us has always kinda been one of those juggling holidays with kids between parents ect but….

Family meals are always a must! Our kids are always gifted a set of new winter jamys or something useful for the winter months. They always get a Lindt bunny and one egg and there’s always a huge Easter egg hunt with all the cousins.

Family, fun and food!

A weekend of togetherness, however that looks at the time as it always varies from one year to the next.

Plus it’s nice when everyone gets together because the cousins adore each other 😍

I hope you spent your Semana Santa in ways that honour your values.

Big love

Manifestation;

With so many polarities in the world how do we manifest our desires into reality?

How do I do it?

Connect with infinite intelligence through a form of meditation that works for you.

Create a karmic positive imbalance by doing good things. For example; being of service to others.

Imagine you’ve already received and give thanks… always practice gratitude.

Trust.

All things work together for good.

I give myself permission to be me,
to be me, exactly the way I am, without guilt
I give myself permission to feel, without guilt
I give myself permission to be sad
I give myself permission to say what I think,
to eat what I want
I give myself permission to eat Chocolate!
I give myself permission to love myself
To feel that I am enough, just as I am
To stop searching for things that are wrong, that need to be fixed or changed
I give myself permission to say no
I give myself permission to allow my process to unfold in its own time,
to relax and trust that it will all work out
I give myself permission to take as long as I need
I give myself permission to just lie here
to let it be
to soak in sunshine
I give myself permission to rest, without guilt
I give myself permission to breathe
I give myself permission to heal
I give myself permission to be free
I give myself permission to love
And to be loved as I am~

A needed reminder

When it comes to grief, remember this:

You have not broken a bone.
There is no default treatment,
no cure,
no timeline
for your healing.

You cannot strap your heart to the heart next to it
and hope that it mends itself.

You cannot wrap it in a cast
and protect it from further breaking.

You cannot rest it for weeks or months.

You cannot rely on your other heart
like you might a leg or an arm.

You have not broken a bone.

And yet, like a broken bone, your heart will always now have a vulnerable spot. A bruise, a burn, a scar.

And just as your arm can still ache after breaking
when it has been holding too much for too long,
so your heart may ache.

When it has been holding too much.
For too long.

But just as your once-broken arm can still hold things and your once-broken leg can still dance,
so your heart will learn to carry you forward.

Even when it aches.

❤️‍🩹

From When I Am Gone

Storm clouds were brewing yesterday.

You know when storm clouds are building in the distance and you decide not to get the horses in, close the house windows, get everything prepared because you’re ‘too busy’ or just ‘couldn’t be bothered’ or think ‘it will miss us’.

Then it doesn’t miss you at all and you end up getting smashed and regret not doing all the prep things earlier?

Take that lesson and apply it to everyday life.

Prepare, don’t wait, set yourself up to wether any storm in style..

You’re worth it.

All good things

I asked Michael in a fluster this week ‘how do people do it? How do they work full time, get enough sleep, eat and keep things organised and look after kids and have family time????’

His answer; ‘they don’t’.
‘Something is always left in a mess’.

For context, I’ve been in full time training for my job in mining 5 days a week for the last 2 weeks. Never before spent that much time away from my daughter, haven’t had to get up that early in about 6 years, haven’t had to wash that many sets of clothes EVER let alone feed us all and remember to do a zillion things 🤪

It is insane to me that people think they are the failure and not the environment or system they are living in.

You are not a failure!!

Society is. We are not living in tribes anymore and sharing the load.

One person is not designed to do it all!!.

After a few years of limited family fun time, full on working conditions, living away from family and friends things get put into perspective pretty quickly once we realised it was time for a major lifestyle overhaul.

Now, We have organised our life in a way that suits us, our goals and values.

I truly believe anyone can do this despite the decline in conditions and rise in living expenses.

Think outside the box, get creative. Invest in yourself, your future, your health and family.

You are worth it.

Reach out via pm

It may lead to a whole new lifestyle.

All good things.

In the last two weeks I’ve learnt;

That being a present parent is one of not only my joys but a set in stone value.

Mining Money culture is ripe with lack, wants and demands and not a whole lot of positivity or mindset work.

People are desperate for options but balk at something that sounds ‘too good to be true’ because they are conditioned to play small.

Attitude is everything.

No one is designed to do EVERYTHING…

Ticking all the boxes is necessary but fastidious.

Muscle memory is a total thing and if you’ve had the right training it will stay with you forever.

My passions have changed and evolved as much as I have as a person.

I don’t enjoy small talk.

We are raising an incredibly strong willed little human.

Minesite drinking water quality is completely s**t.

I really enjoy teaching, organising, training and helping people who are wanting to do the work and be in the arena.

What a full on two weeks.

Now for life to go back to a regular pace 😊😍🫣

Enjoy your weekend.

What’s reasonable??

Just like you prepare for storm season before the storms hit, preparing now for the financial whirlwind headed our way seems like pretty reasonable action to take.

Increasing your bank balance now, instead of panicking when inflation gets worse seems like pretty reasonable action to take.

Laying the foundations now to receive another stream of income, to cover the gap between your wallet and the grocery bill, seems like pretty reasonable action to take.

Creating your own income and not having to say no to invitations because you can’t afford the fuel to get there, seems like pretty reasonable action to take.

Being in a position to say yes to your kids more instead of “Not this week”, because you got out of your own way, shook off the judgement of others and was prepared to get uncomfortable, seems like reasonable action to take.

But here’s the thing.

Creating a successful online business takes time, investment and guts.

Time to learn and take advantage of the automation opportunities available so you can start to get your time back, or run it alongside your current income stream.

Investment - anyone who thinks they can start a business with zero start up and zero ongoing is dreaming. Prove me wrong….I’m not talking hobby money, I’m referring to life changing, replace your job, buy big things without ummmming and ahhhhing cash income.

And guts. Because not everyone is genuine and wants to see you succeed. Flicking their judgment off your shoulder, pulling up your own big girl panties and getting on with it regardless can be pretty darn uncomfortable at times.

Im here for it all though. I will continue expanding, continue building and continue to live the way that makes me happy.

The only regret - I didn’t start sooner.

Rise together.

🌱 Bamboo takes 3-5 years to break through the ground and then grows up to 30 metres in 5 weeks!

💎 Diamonds are formed under immense heat and pressure from carbon.

🌲 Eucalyptus trees need fire in order to germinate.

🦋 Butterfly’s only become so magnificent by originally being caterpillars 🐛 growing and transforming through the cocoon phase.

Nature is magnificent.
You are magnificent and
I am magnificent.

Everything in nature is of divine design.

And so is the same within your life when you come from a place of trust, allowing, surrender and release.

It is all working out for you. (Even if it doesn’t feel like it.

It will never feel like you’re in an expansive wonderful state all the time , as with the above examples, curated so perfectly.

This is your permission slip to honour your needs and allow the seasons of life as they arise.

For those ready to jump in, learn and expand DM me.

Let’s chat, let’s create something wonderful.

It is all divine.
You are divine.

Stop drinking water out of plastic bottles!!!

Not only is the water terrible quality but you’re unknowingly ingesting micro plastics.

S**t for your health, s**t for the environment, s**t for literally EVERY REASON!!!

Want a better option?? I’m down to share allll I’ve got… and I’ve got a lot 😅

As someone who has life threatening allergies I take it ridiculously seriously what I put in my body.

It’s so simple to drink hydrogen rich water…

I personally have seen the benefits.

Disease = dis ease within the body.

Make good choices.

The light and the dark of it.

How can you know self without experiencing both shadow and light.

The shadow self is the unknown part of you. The psychological term for all of the things you can't or won't see in yourself.

The shadow does not connect to good or bad connotations, it's just hidden.

Because it is hidden, it runs around without supervision, often causing damage and pain in your life.

The shadow may appear in many forms of rage, jealousy, hatred, greed, and selfishness, and it affects every aspect of your life.

When you start recognising the shadow and stepping into the light, it no longer holds power over you.

Your shadow is a powerful teacher that reveals to you the places in your life where you are lacking conscious awareness.

Shadow can only be ignored for so long.

Unless you learn to face your own shadows, you will continue to see them in others, because the world outside of you is only a reflection of the world within you.

All things work together for good.

Love this. Figure out what you don’t want to do .

Last night my daughter asked me to go outside with her so she could see her friends…

I was confused at first, ‘it’s dark baby, none of your friends are outside’

‘C’mon mummy, outside, see friends Sirius, mars and Jupiter’

She was talking about the stars…

She calls them friends.

Our family has always had a deep affinity with the night sky. We are star babies. We wear moldavite to ground and feel at home on a clear night.

My dad loves astronomy and has taught us the constellations, how to see comets, the space station, planets and we spent hours as kids looking up.

Now I get to see that magic from the eyes of a little girl again.

It’s pretty special.

What are your favourite memories of being under the stars?

Enjoy Saturday night with billions of ‘friends’ looking down.

All good things

I’m a big food fan and this looks delicious.

Personally gonna try it with coconut yogurt because dairy and I aren’t friends 🫣

Treat your valentine to this simple but impressive mix of yoghurt, dark chocolate and raspberries 💕

🍫 Ingredients
2 cups Greek-style yoghurt
1 cup raspberries
¼ cup toasted coconut flakes
25g dark chocolate, melted
2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberries, finely chopped

👩🏼‍🍳 Method
Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Spoon the yoghurt over the tray and smooth the surface. Sprinkle the raspberries and toasted coconut over the yoghurt. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the yoghurt and top with the freeze-dried strawberries.

Place tray in the freezer for three hours or until firm.

Remove tray from the freezer and place the bark on a chopping board. Use a sharp knife to cut the bark into desired pieces. Serve immediately and store any leftover bark in the freezer.

Co-regulation

It’s something we practice.

Co-regulation is often applied in the context of emotions.

If emotion co-regulation is in effect, the result will be a decrease in, hopefully, both my and my daughters overall emotional distress.

A working definition of emotion co-regulation has been offered as "a bidirectional linkage of oscillating emotional channels between partners, which contributes to emotional stability for both partners".

Do I get it right 100% of the time, f**k no. I get frustrated, touched out, impatient

BUT

Those are my issues, not hers and I’m aware of when to tap out and take a break to rein my own s**t in so I’m not projecting my anxieties and escalating an already s**t meltdown.

For her to calm her nervous system and crazy 2-3 year old learning brain it requires an adult who is committed to sitting with her through the feels.

Truth be, I also need to sit through my feels too.

To love both of us unconditionally when confusion sets in and we feel at our most ‘unlovable’ in full tantrum mode.

To practice deep breaths and heart to heart hugs bringing the energy back to Centre.

To not leave her or punish her by putting her in her room or time out, to not ostracise or disconnect and come from a place of understanding.

It takes more patience than I ever knew I had but it’s worth it.

I never want my daughter to feel unloved by her parents, unworthy or unwanted.

She is a wild card. Anyone who knows her will attest to that.

She waves and smiles at strangers, she talks to anyone who’s energy looks light, she walks behind counters and helps herself at bakery’s….she’s a runner, a dancer, a talker, a singer and a doer of all the things.

I NEVER want to squash or dim any part of her epicness and if the learnings of being 3 come with tantrums then I will sit in them with her and feel all the feels and learnings too just so she never feels alone.

I love her wild, free heart and know that she is here to change the world because she has changed ours.

So while it’s necessary, co-regulating is where you’ll find us.
