How to handle your big energy (for good)
When you’re happy, that’s my favourite thing sings Elmo loudly from the tv screen I’m using to distract my niece. She dances to the song, and I smile that she’s settled into her visit. Elmo is right; we love being surrounded by people that lift us. Happy people are great to be around. It’s a…

The way women talk needs to change
I heard them in a cafe. Then again on the footpath, as I walked to my car and in line to pay for petrol at the service station. Women, talking about other women and bodies, fat and diets. I wonder if I’m more prone to hearing these conversations because it’s such a big part of…

Sierra Burgess Is a Loser: a tale of fat girls
You didn’t think I’d let the new Netflix movie Sierra Burgess is a Loser go by without my comment, did you? Knowing my love of all things Netflix Originals movies, you can’t be surprised. Add in that it had not one, but TWO fat girl story lines in it and I was sold. Here’s why…

A week into my daily blogging challenge
I’m a week into this daily blogging thing. You can thank the daily vloggers of YouTube for the idea behind this. To think it was just this time last week (maybe a little earlier, my bad!) that I decided to give this a shot. My writing had been in a rut for a while; it…

Let’s talk body image and confidence.
It’s finally here! As I mentioned in my post earlier in the week, the whole idea of sharing my body confidence story started as a video idea. I wanted to add my story to the Confident You video series and share with you where I’ve come from and where I’m at. Well, team, that video…

I was lucky enough to share videos featuring Chantelle from Fat Mum Slim and Rachel from Rachel Gee Bee on developing relationships with their bodies. BUT my story wasn’t here. That’s a bit of a missing! Right? So, I decided to…

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’?…

Being kind to yourself
This was a conversation that I started on Instagram yesterday. It needed to be continued, so here we are. I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube lately; tutorials, workshops and loads and loads of LadyLike (by Buzzfeed). Inspired by the people there and their willingness to give it a go, I thought I’d grab some…

15 women, 1 dude and me; what body confidence means to us
It’s been a big week so far for the Confident You Body Confidence challengers. Wow. We’ve talked about everything from our insecurities and body shaming to celebrating our body wins and those people who love us no matter what. To say I’m proud of where we are as we enter the home stretch is an…
