OMG 🤦‍♀️😳🫣🤭

I don’t know what to say…I think I’ve already said too much. 😶

Bowel. Bowl. What’s the difference? 🤷‍♀️

Me writing an NDIS report today.

I wish this was the first time I’d made this typo…
Let’s just say it’s the first time I’ve picked it up before sending it out. 🤦‍♀️😂

What time do you turn into a pumpkin?

Always excited to escape the midweek drudgery for some yummy eats in the city buuuuuuuuut my alarm will still go off in the morning and it’ll take me the week to recover if I don’t get to beddy-byes at a decent hour 😴

Honestly though, where do all the socks go?? 🕵️‍♀️

Remember the days when your socks only belonged to you? And, like, you managed to keep the matching pairs because they went in the same place (like, the washing basket) together?

And now it’s a distant memory because your daughter has taken co-ownership of your socks…and while one might make it to the washing basket eventually, the other falls into an abyss between the bed and the wall, or the abyss in the bottom of the wardrobe or, let’s face it, the abyss that no one has found yet. 🤷‍♀️🕵️‍♀️

I’m just gonna have to roll with it.

I love basketball. I am all in for my kids tournaments AND I will also be socially ☠️ for the next week.

Literally, this is me coming off a long weekend 🏀tournament. Hours in stadiums. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with nine other families (and then some). Reunions with folks I haven’t seen in aaaaaaages (every time). I love it at the time but I am overstimulated AF. Because I am an extrovert and an introvert. I LOVE my own space and time…but I love all the people too. 🤷‍♀️ No one talk to me tonight. There will be no music in my car for the next week. Sssshhhhhhhhh…

OMG this is NOT the first time 🤦‍♀️

It was in the diary. Like, in there. I was feeling so organised. Sorted dinner early, got my work finished so I could relax in there, sorted sports training runs thinking I was gonna be luxxing at the hairdressers. 😭 Feeling like a boss. 🤩

Nope. No head massage for me tonight. No fresh hair colour and trim. 🥺 I walk in and they all look perplexed. They check the bookings and I’m two weeks early. I got the time right, just f**cked up the date. 🙃

I do this ALL the damn time. My struggle with dates and time is real. Scientists, do your thing. 🧠🔬

🤔Why did I say and think that? 🤦‍♀️

My daily routines include lots of self care: I eat and exercise regularly. I have variety in my foods. I do yoga. I journal. I’m social. I’ve become really good at building boundaries. But, I suck at allowing myself to REST!

Now I do have to let you know that I have a bone “bruise”. An x-ray the next day ruled out a fracture. So pain but not for as long and no cast…my low mood rebounded immediately on hearing that one!

When I thought I had a fracture though, all I wanted to do was minimise it. All I could think about was the disruption and inconvenience to everyone else. Even when I am sick with a virus, “I’m ok”, “I’ll live”, “I’ll just march on”.

So, in the spirit of life being a journey of self discovery, it turns out I have a newly discovered direction of development…girl, learn to allow yourself to rest!

💭💭I wonder how many other mothers would go through the same thoughts…

The Food and Life Clinic is my baby.

While I don’t take myself very seriously, I take supporting my clients VERY seriously.

Everyone thinks they’ll see a dietitian, be told what they’re doing wrong, get a meal plan and check in regularly to report if they have been good in following it.

That is the total opposite approach to The Food and Life Clinic. We’re actually all about helping our clients meet their nutrition needs in ways that work for them.

Yes, we educate you about what your actual needs are (usually lots of myth busting here) BUT…
We follow through with the hardest bit: supporting you in changing your habits.

We promote self-empathy and self care.

We do this because it works.

If you’ve tried being hard on yourself, meal plans, diets, or exclusions and it hasn’t worked (or it worked til it didn’t), consider a different approach.

Wishing everyone a very happy, peaceful and healthy Christmas.

While appointments are closed for the year, the clinic office remains open for a few hours each day (except public holidays) until the end of the year.

We’ll take a little break from 1st January, reopening Monday 12th January 2026.

I’m too old to not be wise enough to practice what I preach… 🎙️

I always promote balance in life with my midlife mamas but am I walking my talk?

I exercise, I spend time with my kids, I have an awesome social life…but I work crazy hours too. So nope, I’m not walking the talk.

At the beginning of 2025, I trialled opening the clinic from 2am-9pm on Wednesdays and 9am-2pm on Thursdays…just to give clients a range of times to see me. By July, my books were filled each day and since September, I’ve extended my hours to earlier on Wednesdays and later on Thursdays. Overworking is a slippery slope when you run your own business…

So I’ve had to do some thinking.

Being open after hours benefits lots of my clients.
So, next year I will run the clinic from 11am-7pm on Wednesdays. It still provides some after hours options but doesn’t turn my brain into nothing but a shell.

If balance is what you need, balance is what I need…

I love breaking all the rules!

Food rules! I mean food rules!

At Food & Life, I help people build a calmer, kinder relationship with food and eating — without judgement, guilt or diet-culture noise.

My approach is all about understanding the why behind someone’s eating patterns, supporting them with empathy, and helping them build the confidence and capacity to nourish their bodies, minds and souls in a way that actually feels doable.

I work with people aged 10+, and I have particular passions in:

✨ Disordered eating & eating disorders
✨ Women’s health — especially the glorious chaos of midlife
✨ Gut health
✨ Mental health
✨ Eating challenges linked with neurodivergence

I offer support through Medicare, the NDIS and privately.

Sessions are available face-to-face in Watsonia or online via telehealth — whatever makes life easier (and gets you nourished without adding extra stress). 💻💚

You’re welcome to make an appointment (link in bio) or have a chat about the support you need (DM).

Appointments for 2026 are now open!

Learning that rest is as important as movement. 😌

I have not been to the gym all week. I had plans to tuck it into a spare hour of my Saturday morning BUT I am exhausted. Work has been crazy busy. The kids needs have been crazy high…and I am learning that to rest is ok. To say no to stuff is ok. To do nothing is sometimes what you need more than anything else.

Otherwise, I’m going to burn out.

Here’s to breaking lifelong habits of always having to fill every hour of every day. 😅🤩
