Truth. But. Life isn’t all roses and sunshine and sometimes we have to do things that aren’t joyful. Like right now. It’s cold and raining and joy isn’t my current emotion as I enter my 4th hour of travel to get to the outskirts of Sydney to deliver training tomorrow

The goal is to figure out how you can feel the way you want to feel more of the time, instead of blank, or stressed, distracted, cranky, unsupported etc etc.
😩
It’s not to ignore the challenges and disappointments of life and love. Instead it’s about recognizing when things feel heavy and not aligned and looking for practical strategies to feel more aliveness, rest, security and sanity during those tougher times x

Perfect pastel afternoons at the beach leave me feeling that sense of spaciousness I crave. Where do you go to feel calm? At peace? Lighter?

Plan for something this weekend that feels light and fun and like a giant exhale, the kind of lion face exhale thingy that you sometimes do at the end of a really tough yoga class. All tongue out and full body relax. We need more of those x

S€x is essential to relationship satisfaction; it tethers you together, it’s a symbol of total acceptance, and according to new research, s€x is an awesome way to close the stress cycle.
🔄
The stress cycle happens when you’re exposed to something stressful and even though the thing causing stress ends eg bad traffic and you arrive at your destination, you still carry that stress in your body. Worse still if you’re exposed to the same stressor over and over again and your stress builds and builds with no outlet.
🤯💥
Essentially you have to DO something with your body to release that stress. Exercise for 30 mins, kiss for 6 seconds without breaking, hug for 20 seconds, or have s€x.
♋️
If s€x feels like another thing on your to-do list or if you’re feeling numb and disinterested (usually due to stress, mothering or the other 4 key barriers to feeling desire), try this journaling prompt this weekend:
🖋
‘I would have more s€x if...’
At the very least it’ll give you clarity around what your personal barriers might be and from there you can make a plan x

Adulting is hard. Sometimes I look around hoping I’m not the one to have to do all the things.
🤯
But just like my sister-in-law who can fold a fitted sheet like a badass, there is an easier way to manage the juggle without losing your mind (and your sense of self).
🧺
Cue the Desire Map planner: one part planner for the practical doers and one part inner reflection prompts and gratitude exercises to keep us close to ourselves and find the time to maintain our shine.
🌟
I’m doing a final call for planner orders for 2020. If you’re curious to try a new way to manage the endless to do list and create time to do the things that help us remember how good spaciousness, intimacy, fun and quality time feel, then send me a message and I’ll add you to the order.

In the past I’ve really struggled with the term ‘feminist’, but I like this definition from Nancy Dubuc.
❗️Equality makes sense to me and is something we should all want❗️
Freeing ourselves from rigid stereotypes and renegotiating responsibilities is an ongoing mission (one I still often struggle with) but it’s a worthy one if we truly want to live in an equal world where women and children are safe to make choices and everyone can reach their full potential. 🦸🏼‍♀️🦸🏼‍♂️
Confining men and women to stereotypes is of benefit to no one and the consequences play out in our homes and workplaces, in our music and movies and books, and in our parenting.
Working in a domestic and family violence service, I can’t ignore the consequences of inequality...increased violence against women and children.
I never wanted to ‘crusade’ but I can’t stay quiet when so many experience violence 🙅🏼‍♀️
Shifting attitudes is the first and critical step and it’s a privilege to deliver violence prevention education in businesses and universities.
