The end of the financial year is here, so it’s time to get our financial ducks in a row for tax time and the new FY23–24. It’s not only businesswomen who need to keep on top of this stuff; in our current cost-of-living crisis, it’s crucial that every woman takes her finances seriously and does everything she can to be in the best financial shape possible for the next 12 months. Here are my top EOFY tips (and please bear in mind, these are general only and do not constitute professional financial and legal advice):   Gather Your Financial Arsenal: First things first, gather all y ..read more

  This is the last part of my four-part holiday series, thank you for joining us on this wild ride! I’m going to finish up by talking about all the things I learned on this adventure: my top tips, lessons and takeaways. (If you need to catch up on previous installments, head here: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3.) 1. Since becoming a mum, I’ve found myself thinking of all the negative what-ifs when it comes to travel (doesn’t help that I listen to true crime podcasts and watch docos on missing planes!). But now we’ve done it, I’ve realised I can travel with kids and we are safe. It’s been super l ..read more

    We figured, since we’d already travelled to the other side of the world, we may as well sneak in another place we’d always wanted to go. For us, that was Santorini. (If you haven’t read them yet, catch up on Part 1 and Part 2 of our adventure.) Starting points: Santorini, Greece, is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200km southeast from the Greek mainland. It is the largest island of a small circular archipelago. We stayed at the Aqua Luxury Suites in Imerovigli and they were incredible. Santorini is a 19-hour flight from Sydney. We travelled from Dubai, which was a ..read more

  OK guys, strap yourselves in for six whirlwind, mind-blowing days in Dubai with us! (If you haven’t read Part 1 of our adventure, head here first.) Starting points: Dubai is a city in the United Arab Emirates. It was once a small fishing village but grew to become the most populated of the Emirates. It’s a modern metropolis in the middle of the desert. We stayed at the Centara Mirage Dubai, and honestly, words can barely describe how incredible this place is. A dream world for adults and kids. Dubai is a 14-hour flight from Sydney. We went in early April, which is Dubai spring, and ..read more

  Reading is such a comfort for me. I love fiction for its ability to transport me and take me out of my own mind (romance and thriller are my go-to genres, see my recommendations here), but for inspiration and personal growth, I can’t go past a good self-development book. These are my top five five-star reads that challenged, inspired, motivated and helped me to create the life I wanted for myself and my family. I hope you can find encouragement for your own goals in these pages too!       The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life B ..read more

Kids, bless their little messy hands, can really disrupt our daily routines. Especially when it comes to workouts and meal planning. There are additional tastes and needs to factor in, and we might not have the time, freedom or budget that we used to, so options become more limited. And, of course, we want to lead by example to give them a head start when it comes to managing their own health later in life too. So, let’s look at ways we can incorporate the kids into our healthy lifestyles!     Make it regular and non-negotiable: Kids thrive on routines, so establish a regular time ..read more

  Have you heard of ‘burnt chop syndrome’? It refers to the way people — particularly women, and especially mothers — sacrifice themselves in order for others to have better. For example: A mum plans, buys, preps, and cooks dinner, and in doing so burns one of the chops. She gives that chop to herself, because she wants her family to have the best of her efforts, and she believes that because she burned it, she should eat it. You can see where this leads to, right? It goes way beyond food. The mum puts herself last. She wants the best for the ones she loves, but forgets to factor herself ..read more

  Of all the things that can overwhelm us in life, the mental load has to be the heaviest. It’s all the invisible work that goes into running a household, a family, a relationship, a business, a life. And it can very quickly spiral out of control, dragging our mental health down with it. You guys know how passionate I am about planning and organisation, and it’s for this exact reason: to reduce the mental load. I believe in it so much I made an entire business around it! Helping other women in this aspect of their lives has become my personal mission, and I aim to keep that front-of-mind ..read more

  If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I’m a huge fan of meal prepping. It’s an act of kindness for your future self — weekdays can get crazy, and having to think of what to make when you’re busy and tired is a special kind of torture! I can’t overstate this enough: meal prepping makes the entire week easier, smoother, nicer, better. And because we love a hack, let’s hack our meal prepping — yes, I’m hacking the hack! — with some time-saving tips to really streamline this whole ‘must eat three meals a day every day for the rest of our lives’ thing. And if you haven’t already, c ..read more
