When I got the call that I was a finalist in the Australian Ladies in Business Initiative Awards, I did a full happy dance around the room, much to the confusion of my dog Harvey, who just sat staring at me like I’d lost my mind.

I’m beyond excited to be recognised in not just one, but two categories:
- Personal Service of the Year: honouring the care and service I pour into the families I work with.
- Bright Spark: celebrating businesses in their infancy that are already making an impact.

It feels surreal to be acknowledged for both the heart of my work and the courage it takes to begin something new. This journey is still young, but it’s full of passion, resilience, and belief in the difference I can make.

I’m really looking forward to sharing the awards night with so many other amazing ladies in business from across Australia; what an inspiring celebration it will be.

I'm a play therapist, of course I use my fondant skills to make playdoh roses in my spare time.

Feeling incredibly honoured and overwhelmed by this nomination. Reading what my nominator had to say about me brought a tear to my eye and I am so moved. This statement alone is so powerful in it's thanks for what I do. I love that I get to live my dream job every day.

I have been nominated in the Personal Services category of the Australian Ladies in Business Initiative alibi awards for 2025.

How do I say thank you to someone who so deeply trusted me with their child and their family during such a difficult time. That is truly the most humbling experience, being chosen and trusted to come alongside someone and walk with them when they need.

This year’s Biggest Morning Tea means more to me than ever before.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with cancer (Melanoma), and while this chapter is a tough one, I’m choosing to channel it into purpose and connection. On Sunday, May 25th, I’m hosting a Biggest Morning Tea to raise funds for Cancer Council Australia, and I’m calling on our beautiful community to help.

If you're a local business or a generous soul, would you consider donating a raffle item, prize, or even some promo goodies for the day? All donors will get a shoutout at the event and on my socials.

Alternatively, if you would consider making a dontation I have a tin in my waiting room or you can visit my fundraising page here:

I have been very quiet on social media lately. I know I don't really post a lot, social media is tricky to navigate for someone who still seeks to handwrite everything.

But life threw me a pretty big curveball recently and while it hasn't been my intention to be radio silent I have been using the time to take a little extra care of myself.

So when weighing up the important things I have been embracing my family and my health first, and whatever else has created moments of hope, over social media.

Rest assured, I am still here, plugging away in the background. I love that I get to continue doing my job, I absolutely love my work, it truly fills my heart and helps me to be grateful for small joys and everyday strength.

If you're currently trying to catch you're own curveball, you are not alone. I hope you too can find some time to play, rest, reset and find all the different ways to fill your heart with hope.

And as always, reach out if you need some support along the way!

World Autism Awareness Day

Today isn’t just about awareness—it’s about acceptance, understanding, and embracing neurodiversity in all its forms. Autism isn’t something to be 'fixed' or 'cured'—it’s a different way of experiencing and interacting with the world, and that difference should be celebrated.

Autistic individuals, like my daughter, bring creativity, passion, deep thinking, and unique perspectives to our world. But too often, they face barriers—misunderstanding, judgment, and expectations that don’t allow them to thrive as their authentic selves. Acceptance means changing the world to meet them where they are, rather than forcing them to conform.

So today, let’s commit to:
💛Listening to and learning from autistic voices
💛 Creating spaces that are truly inclusive
💛 Challenging misconceptions and ableism
💛 Celebrating neurodiversity instead of trying to 'normalize' it

To every autistic person: You are seen, valued, and worthy of a world that embraces you exactly as you are.

World Social Work Day

Being a social worker is one of the most rewarding and challenging things I’ve ever done. It’s not just a career—it’s a commitment, a weight I carry in my heart every single day.

The work is hard. Emotionally, psychologically, financially. Some days, I go home completely drained, carrying the stories of children and families who have experienced more pain than anyone ever should. I’ve sat with kids who don’t believe they deserve love, parents who feel like they’re failing, and families who are breaking under the weight of trauma. There are moments when the system feels too big, the resources too limited, and the barriers too high. And I won’t lie—there are times I wonder if I’m making a difference at all.

But then… there are the moments that remind me exactly why I do this.

The child who finally feels safe enough to share their story. The parent who begins to believe they are capable. The moment when a family finds hope again. The small wins, the breakthroughs, the glimmers of change that build into something stronger. These moments keep me going.

Social work is a relentless, exhausting, and sometimes heartbreaking journey. But it’s also a privilege. A privilege to walk alongside children and families, to help them find their own strength, and to witness the incredible resilience of the human spirit.

Today, on World Social Work Day, I honour the work we do—the unseen emotional labour, the sacrifices, the late nights spent worrying about a child’s safety, and the unwavering hope we carry even in the darkest moments. To my fellow social workers: I see you. I stand with you. Keep going. This work matters.

There's nothing quite like some acupressure relaxation after a higher stress day. Of course my boy Harvey is never far away. Almost time to start the bed time routine in my house and then I love to try and squeeze in 30 minutes to read. Fingers crossed, tonight might be one of those nights.

I hope everyone had a great Wednesday. Let me know something you are going to try and do or have done to find some serenity in the middle of the week.

Saturday Shenanigans: Work, Frogs & Shopping

Kicking off the day in the office, seeing some wonderful little humans and helping them navigate their big feelings.

Then, it’s off to the grocery store, where I fully intend to stick to my list… but let’s be real, impulse buys are inevitable. (If I come home with a frog-themed mug or a snack I don’t need, don't mind me. 🐸😂)

Also, side note: Frogs are elite. They just vibe with life, and I respect that.

My kids would say "Don't be so cringe Mum", a frog would say "That's ribbeting stuff".

What’s a random thing you love that makes no sense but sparks joy? Tell me below!

Did you know that play is one of the most powerful ways children research?

Albert Einstein believed in curiosity, exploration and experiential learning. He knew that play allows for discovery, creativity, and problem-solving - which is a key element of not just scientific inquiry but also childhood development.

Play is how children learn, process emotions, and make sense of their world. Just as scientists experiment to understand new concepts, children use play to explore their new concepts, such as feelings, relationships and problem-solving in a safe environment.

Let's look at playtime for children as their 'time in the lab' and appreciate all their new findings!

Benefits of Playing in a kids lab:
1. Encourages Exploration & Discovery – Play allows children to test ideas, make connections, and learn through hands-on experiences.
2. Boosts Problem-Solving Skills – Just like scientists, children experiment with different solutions while playing, helping them develop critical thinking.
3. Supports Emotional Processing – Play provides a safe space for children to express and work through their emotions in a natural way.
4. Enhances Social Skills & Relationships – Through role-play and cooperative games, kids practice communication, empathy, and conflict resolution.
5. Fosters Creativity & Imagination – Open-ended play sparks innovation, helping children think outside the box and explore endless possibilities.
6. Builds Confidence & Resilience – Trial and error in play teaches kids perseverance, adaptability, and the ability to learn from mistakes.

When kids play, they’re not “just playing”—they’re learning, healing, and growing.
