Dearest 20 year old me, I’ve wanted to write to you for a little while now. You see we’ve just turned 30 (!!!) and I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the past decade, attempting in my own way to make some sense of it all and wrap a neat little bow around […]
Seriously you guys, deciding to read a book a week for a year is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Still going, still going! Here’s the fourth instalment… – – 28. The Year of Living Danishly / Helen Russell My friend Jess Larsen suggested I *listen* to this book (this was during my […]
September is a month of transition. For those in the southern hemisphere, it’s a time of renewal as the weather begins to warm up after a dark and cold winter; for those in the northern hemisphere, summer is winding down and we move into fall / autumn — the season of letting go. It’s a powerful time. […]
It’s almost been four years since I started blogging / sharing online and August of 2016 marks two years since I ‘quit my day job’ and decided to take this self-employed thang full time. It’s been one hell and heaven of a ride! I wouldn’t have any of it any other way. I was recently asked some […]
Today’s blog post is in fact my email newsletter from a week ago. I received more loving responses from my online community than I’ve EVER had before and have been inspired to share this piece publicly, though it feels somewhat frightening to do so. Even more reason to share? I think so. I won’t do this again — […]
Here it is, the next instalment in my ‘read a book a week for a year’ challenge! Just catching up now? Sweet! You can find the first and second instalments here and here. You’ll notice that this instalment includes a couple of audio books; I initially wasn’t going to include them in the challenge, but whilst […]
I think it’s awesome that the more I share my own journey of adoring my menstrual cycle and structuring my life around the changes and phases I move through each month, the more questions I receive from other curious seekers. While I know that for some women (and men) it feels weird, gross or uncomfortable to talk […]
“Everything changes and nothing stands still.” — Heraclitus. I realised something really cool at a workshop I held in Melbourne last Tuesday night. Quite a few of the women who came along let me know that the reason they were there, was because of a blog post I wrote a few years ago. Some had read the post […]
“If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.” – Stephen King What do you think about Mr King’s thoughts above? I happen to agree. The man sure knows a thing or two (or 350 million copies sold) about writing. But inspiring quotes aside, I know for a […]
At my partner’s workplace, there is an additional 11 days worth of leave a year given to their female employees, in light of their menstrual cycle and need for rest in that time. How incredible is that?! (Not sure why the 12th month gets left out, but there we go!) This is AWESOME. This tells me […]
