Travel, Writing, Circus
In this post, I talk about the spectrum of emotions I experienced as I prepared for the Cold Plunge-aka my trip to Ireland via Canada- particularly the hard and unexpected ones like sadness, guilt and grief, in particular about saying goodbye to friends and family.
In this post, I will share the story of how I decided to travel from Australia to Ireland via Canada in 2024, and the leadup to this intrepid adventure of a lifetime.
After my experience caring for my former partner after a workplace injury, just two years later I would return to the role of carer for my mum. In this post, I discuss how I applied what I learned from my first experience about prioritising my own wellbeing, and establishing and maintaining boundaries.
In this post, I discuss my experiences as an unpaid carer, including what I have learned about prioritising my own wellbeing, and establishing and maintaining boundaries with the person I cared for. I also address the stigma around separating from a partner with an illness or injury.
In this post, I reflect on the tendency to overlook conflicts in friendships and emphasise the need for open communication and accountability. I share personal experiences of losing and nurturing friendships, highlighting the impact of genuine connections and mutual respect. I encourage addressing concerns and holding space for difficult conversations in friendships to strengthen bonds. The message underscores the significance of vulnerability, honesty, and willingness to put in the work for meaningful and authentic friendships.
