I read this quote this morning and am in love with how beautiful it sums life up. Thich Nhat Hanh said it so well, to lessen suffering, we must learn to suffer well.
What are your thoughts on this idea?
I built a community once. Then I lost it.
Then I kept trying to rebuild but something wasn’t right. I realised it was because I was different.
I haven’t told this story publicly before — not properly, start to finish. Some parts you know about me but some I didn’t quite know how to put into words.
Starting next week, I’m sharing all of it. The PhD years, getting sick, closing a community I loved, and how I ended up here, less chaotic inside, finally the inside matching my outwardly appearance of always being calm.
If you are a mum, always trying to do it all and always feeling like you are not doing anything well, let’s connect 💕
Comment “STORY” and I’ll make sure you get a heads up when it drops 👇
This is so true. Which is why we need to be aiming to manage the stress and the frustrations of parenting before we can plan a routine of active living. I will go further to say that some people use active movement and exercise as a management of the stresses of parenting and these are usually regular exercisers to start with. For many women in the start/stop cycle, what you need to isn’t more on your plate, what you need is a clear plan to manage stress first, then select the right type of exercise and movement for you.

One of my favourite encounters of the trip to Porongurup. This tree reminds me of how my mindset has helped me overcome hard moments in life up to this point.
The way this tree just quietly stands where it is reminds me to find the quiet in the hustle and bustle of life so that I can hear the messages of where I need to go.
I also learned that Porongurup means place of the totem spirits in Noongar and the many stories here of the Aboriginal people is just magical and beautifully captures the essence of life in its most authentic form.
I haven’t been sharing much on socials, mainly because I was craving rest and reset. And I think I got that now after hiking up Bluff Knoll. Semester 2 Teaching is about to start, and projects to kickstart. Rested deeply for another 14 week round!
Have you scheduled in a period of deep rest for you? So you can start again?
