68. Mental Load Overload: Dear Brain, Please Stop Holding Everything 14.02.2025

Time—it's something we all wish we had more of , yet it often feels like it slips through our fingers. In this episode, we’re playing with the illusion of time, exploring the balance between looking ahead and staying present in the moment.

Have you ever felt like you’re falling behind? That overwhelming sense of urgency can creep in, making it seem like everything on your list needs to be done right now.

In this episode, we explore the conce...

64. When Saying NO Feels Oh-So Right! 03.12.2024

Did you know that "No" is a full sentence?  Just "No, thank you," without the need for a long-winded explanation. Sounds simple, right?  Yet so many of us struggle to say it with confidence. In this episode, Mel and I dive into the power of saying no—and why it’s such an essential part of self-care.  It all starts with knowing yourself and what’s truly important to you. After a...

63.Behind the Scenes of GYKG Podcast and How to Start your Own 26.11.2024

So how did we come up with the idea to start a podcast? And is it something that you could do? This flows on nicely from episode 62 last week: Embracing your Zones of Genius as Mel and I naturally loooooove chatting with each other and chatting with other people so it was really a no brainer for us. We fell into podcasting because we love having a good conversation, our hubbies laugh because we wo...

60. One Man Down: Priorities, Boundaries, and a Little Extra Self-Care 05.11.2024

One man down in our house (yes he is improving) and the painting for the reno's is nearly finished (Phew) When you set up your life as a two person household and one goes down, it's time to get serious with your priorities.

59. The Art of the Solo Mum-Cation: How Mums Can Set Boundaries and Take a Real Break 29.10.2024

I took a leap and decided to book my holidays outside of the school holidays. In the past I have worked one week and taken one week off, but it’s never really a holiday and I knew I needed a bit of down time to myself.  I hear what you are saying, but what about the kids, what did they do all day??? Well I work a few jobs part time, so I had some flexibility already in the holidays, and they are a...

57. Consistency: The Secret Sauce to Getting Stuff Done (And Loving It!) 15.10.2024

Let’s talk about that universal challenge we all face—sticking with something consistently. Whether it's exercise, writing, or keeping your kitchen counters clear, consistency can feel like climbing Everest. So why do we struggle? Because it comes down to the why . Why are you doing the thing you’re doing? If your reason doesn't fire you up, it’s tough to keep going. You need that spark...

56. Time Magic 08.10.2024

Yep we are talking about TIME aaaagain! You know why? Because as a mother it can feel like it’s always against us. Even late last night my daughter tells me that she needs to be at school at 8.15am the next day! And so the time manipulation begins. Has anyone seen that reel on instagram where the Mum is doing backwards math? This is my life. Having the activity time in my head, then counting back...

Episode 55.  How the Dishes Keep Teaching Us Life Lessons  Yep, the bloody dishes conversation has reared its head again!!

Episode 52. Reclaiming your VOICE SOOOOOO passionate about this one! Thinking back on my journey to getting more of the things I love back into my life after having children, I remember it starting with some inner work.
