Personal

Are you okay?  That’s what the email asked.  A thoughtful question from a concerned soul on my email database. (Thank you, I love that you asked.) When I read it, though, I wobbled. “I don’t know, am I okay?” I thought.  I had my son in my arms. He had just fallen asleep at my […]

This week has been hard for me. I’ve been sleeping badly; my son William is co-sleeping and waking me up regularly to feed for comfort. There’s also something in the air, full moon energy, perhaps.  A part of me wanted to take my two ‘work’ days and use them to read, sleep, eat chocolate and […]

Trigger alert: this article features words and images about birth trauma. The content may be triggering if you have had a traumatic birth experience.

Eight weeks ago, I made a pact to write a blog post every two weeks and an email to my database every two weeks. That’s roughly 2,000 words a week, or close to 20,000 words in total. From nothing to 20,000 words feels good.  And not only am I doing it, I am teeming with […]

Last fortnight when I sent out my very first email, I shared that I would be writing from the heart, not overthinking or planning my emails and that I would be writing without selling anything as I’m not currently in business. I had incredible feedback, thank you. The excitement I felt by conversing with so […]

What does pesto have to do with spirituality? Already the memory has faded. What felt at the time like the most intense experience of my life has become a mere glimmer of what it was. This blog post will be my attempt to recreate it. I’ve wanted to tell this story properly since it happened […]

Last weekend, I participated in a panel discussion about the future of photography hosted by Camera Pro as a part of their Brisbane Photography Festival. I was briefed to expect a conversation about industry disruptors, social media and AI. I say yes to these opportunities because they often open doors and lead to weird career […]
