The Ambitious Mother
Today I thought I’d write about something that happens to us all from time to time…. Getting the suckies. You know, when things suck a bit. There have been a few bad days in there lately and although my resilience and positive mind frame usually kicks in after a day or so, this time it didn’t […]
At this very moment, I’m part of exactly 49 Facebook groups. Some of them are private interest groups, some are business groups and some… well some are groups that I actually had no idea I was part of until I just looked! After I write this blog post, I think I’ll go and cull this […]
I envy all of those amazing office spaces that people create in their homes. You know the ones… they are so perfect that I’m convinced that they’re just show-room offices in people’s homes and their real work spaces are actually tucked away in the corner of the lounge room or taking up the entire dining […]
Each day is a gift. There are 7 days in a week. 5 days in a ‘typical work’ week. 24 hours in one day. I read somewhere that the ideal day should be split into 3 lots of 8 hour brackets. | 8 hours of sleep | 8 hours of work | 8 hours of […]
Life is tough as a people pleaser. Having to say no is one of the most unnatural things to do because at the heart of everything, we want to help and support others in our lives. Sometimes though, it’s just not possible or realistic for us to do so. Often we say yes to people […]
I was first introduced to the idea to ‘eat the frog’ by my mentor and friend Jo Karabin, CEO and founder of Australian party plan company PASH in 2009. As a national manager for PASH, I had built a successful team of around about 75 consultants. The job wasn’t so much about direct selling, as it was about juggling […]
Being a working mum is hard! Leaving the house to go to work can be a mixture of emotions. Leaving the kids behind, feeling rushed, unappreciated and exhausted all before 7:30am isn’t quite the work/life blend lifestyle that you once imagined you’d have. By beginning the day with a positive mindset and a solid plan […]
Every time I get an invitation to go to a women’s networking event, I can barely contain my excitement. Where some find inspiration in religion, the beach or meditation; I find it in listening to others’ stories about their personal and business journeys. Yesterday was the peak of inspiration for me. At a gorgeous and […]
OMG I did something AMAZING! I wanted to tell you all about it #BecauseSharing… Recently, my partner had a lady come to speak to his school staff about mental health and in particular, about how we will never complete all of the tasks on our to-do list. Like, never. Ever. WTF? I know, it’s kind […]
How to make friends with time… My heart thumped louder than the clock ticked. Time, time, time. With every passing second I became further behind with the tasks I’d set for the day. There became a moment where I felt that I’d collapsed on the hamster wheel and instead of running with it, I was […]
A planner is an essential planning and organisational tool for anyone who wants to achieve more, improve their time management and reduce general overwhelm and stress in their lives. You only need to walk into any department store or stationery store to be spoilt for choice when it comes to diaries and planners and it […]
Housework. I’m sorry you had to read that. Did you cringe too? Here’s the thing about housework. It has to be done. Again, sorry! For me, there are different levels of ‘housework’. There are painless things like doing the washing, making beds and dusting. There are mid-range things like putting away clothes, cleaning the kitchen […]
