About Me

About what I do

I am an Australian blogger. My main focus is women. I feel there is a real need for women (not just mothers) to have access to non-judgmental advice. Due to the fact that, unfortunately in our society not all people have a good network around them. Our “old style village no longer exists.

I wanted to create a space where people could feel safe to ask all sorts of questions – Judgment free.  
I have been very blessed to have been born into a family that has loved me and encouraged me, unconditionally. I really don’t know where I would be if I was not born into a family like that. As I was someone that hated rules, which caused me to be a failure at school and expelled from two. My point behind that is. What about the kids like me, that were born into a family where there was no support.
Where the mother struggled so much because she never had access to a support system, so much so that she “took it out” on her children.
What does that mean for them?
I worry for these people that don’t have a good network, they are no different to me. The problem is they don’t have support. And that is sad that in our world in our society this still exists…
So far my parents have fully funded my mission- they’re amazing

I am blessed to be a Mum of 3 beautiful children, Titan (my angel in heaven) Maya and Texas. Maya is a gorgeous little girl with a heart of gold. Life is a joy for her and she is so much fun to be around. Texas is my little champ. He has this infectious cheeky smile that no one can walk past. I am married to my soul mate who I have been with since I was 16 years old. He is the other half of me, he is someone that “gets me and I get him”. He is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever come across and I am so grateful to have him as my husband.

My mentors in life are my… family. It sounds a bit cliché but its true. My mum is an amazing business woman who has this innate ability to connect with anyone. She is someone that would give a stranger a hug if they needed it and she is truly a beautiful human being. My Dad is one of the most innovative and courageous men I have ever met. If he has something in his head it “just happens”. Hell or high water, if he wants it, he gets it! He is truly an inspiration. They believe in me and always have. I am so blessed to have them as my parents. They also live next door to me… quite handy actually. I have an older sister and she is my stabiliser. She puts things into perspective and often “tells me off” – in a good way. She is my “go to woman”. She has a beautiful family, a great partner and one rambunctious little boy. I have an older brother who is intensely loyal and says things “as they are”. I love to be around him and his little family ( beautiful wife and three kids). He has a great sense of humour and is always keen for fun times. I am lucky enough to have worked with them in our family businesses for over for 18 years.

Parenting is amazing but some days it sort of sucks… and that’s what I will be talking about on here.. the “real” stuff… I think it’s important to talk about the good and the bad…
