What more do you need? I commented recently to a friend about the huge number of things I needed to organise before I fly to the UK to visit friends. His response was “as long as you have your ticket, credit card and […]
I switched off long ago to the mass media and its soul sucking messages about what you should and shouldn’t be saying/teaching/showing your daughter. There are too many things out there which simply work to undermine our female self-esteem and courage like […]
Do you believe in Darwin’s Theory of Evolution Dear Reader? I do. Brad Pitt says it so well in the movie Moneyball – adapt or die. You have to keep up with the times. Technology alone, my God! Sometimes by the time I […]
No matter if you are already a healthy-food buff or if you want to improve your eating habits, marriage can always make things complicated when it comes to diet. You don’t have to eat green smoothies and tofu instead of beef, but you can […]
I’m a week back from holidays in Fiji. Eight days with a long-time girlfriend spent in beach clubs, floating pontoons, swimming in crystal clear water, sail boats, champagne, great food and heaps of laughter. I have been stopped in the street and supermarket many […]
SheBrisbane came across an interesting article in the ABC affirming that ‘women’s intuition’ is no myth! Science has now proven women are better than men at reading people’s thoughts and emotions, just by looking at their eyes. Researchers from across the globe, including Queensland, […]
Cooking isn’t rocket science, as my grandmother used to say, but it helps if you can pick up a few basic tips on how it’s done, especially when you want to impress. Well, that was the motivation behind one of our SheBrisbane […]
Gold Coast couple Aaron and Daniella readily admit the toughest part of being in Australia’s biggest home renovation television show, House Rules, has little to do with picking colour schemes or deciding where to put a sink. Their biggest concerns surround their […]
Somehow, despite our different languages, we have found ways to teach our animal companions to simplify our lives. You’ll often see a golden retriever loyally guiding his human parent without comprehending the concept of blindness, or a rescue pooch diligently searching for […]
Have you been feeling frazzled and anxious lately? Maybe questioning your control on life? Are you struggling to unwind and relax? If yes, it could be that it’s time to declutter. Clutter fuels disorganisation and can bring with it embarrassment, stress and […]
This morning as my daughter played at the park, I looked around at what the girls were wearing. Overwhelmingly, I saw shorts, tights and long pants. I saw one girl in a skirt, and not a single one in a dress. You are probably […]
The jokes started through our small Facebook group. Was it really thirty years since we left school? Are we really that old? Who is going to go? Who else would be there? Our lives now, dispersed across states and countries, different responsibilities […]
At one point, I caught myself thinking, “So this is my life now. Reduced to being a home-bound mum without any outside means to express myself.” After analysing books and instances of successful women combining careers and family obligations, I started thinking. I […]
For a number of years now I have reached for a notepad (paper or electronic) when I am invited to a meeting, asked to prompt a reminder or simply need to remember a pending action. This act of recording all ‘to-do’ items […]
We were so excited to attend the Dancing CEO’s Gala Ball this year that we even touched up on our tap dancing skills beforehand. This is the most entertaining charity event and largest annual gala held every year at the Brisbane City Hall. It […]
It’s true that Old Adage “One woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure” which is why I suspect it’s an Old Adage. This is clearly demonstrated by the annual Kerbside Clean Up currently happening in my suburb. There is nothing like watching impoverished Uni students […]
Last week I spoke at a Women Leading Business Masterclass on the importance of sticking to your values. I was surprised by the number of women who have contacted me to share how difficult they find it to create boundaries around their professional values. […]
I feel a bit sick. I’m doing some homework and have the TV to watch the news and I have just endured the equivalent of a drive-by shooting of my musical youth. I saw two ads in succession, one for Bulla Dairy foods […]
Don’t you love those beautiful times when you just do nothing at all? Stopping, slowing down, unwinding apply to so many aspects of our lives because doing not much is important. You hear about it in conversations around fitness and training, about […]
