What owning a cafe at 21 taught me about myself.
Last week, when we talked about life, Danielle wanted to know what happened with the pancake shop about being more open with my story. Did you know I had a pancake shop? Haha. I wonder if you did. Its name was Whispers, and it was a pancake and crepe cafe. I purchased the existing business…

Why The Greatest Showman reminds me of the Body Positive Movement.
As I walked back into the bright sunshine of Central Queensland from the darkened movie theatre, I knew what I’d seen had been something special.

Look what you made me do.
You’d be forgiven for thinking this was about Taylor Swift. It’s not. I just stole her line. Sorry, Taylor, I’m sure you’ll cope. This is about giving up control of your life to someone else. Handing it over and letting them run you, run it, in whatever way they see fit. Saying, look what you…

Would you hate Mondays if you liked your job?
Would you hate Mondays if you liked your job? Not a trick question. Go on, think about it. Would you hate Monday, the act of starting a new week, if you loved what you did? I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Monday morning doesn’t have an ‘ahhh crap’ feeling about it for me. But…

What to do if your partner doesn’t like your clothes.
Look, I kind of want to say dump them, but I won’t. Not yet, maybe later. If your partner doesn’t like your clothing choices it can be tricky to navigate. Everyone wants to be attractive and getting approval from the person who loves you is always nice. But what happens when they don’t ‘get it’?…
