Sometimes the best gift is the one you give yourself. 🧡

And sometimes that gift is simply paying attention.

It’s the first of the month, which means I’m popping up with my little reminder again.

It started as a reminder to check your breasts and know your body — something that will always be incredibly important to me.
These days, I think it’s worth making the check-in a little bigger.

How’s your body?
Anything changed? Anything you’ve been meaning to get checked?

How’s your mind?
A little too much going on up there lately?

How’s your soul?
Are you making room for the people and things that make you feel good, or have they slowly been squeezed out by everything else?

And then there’s the question we’re often not very good at asking ourselves…

What do I need?
Not what does the business need.
Not what does the family need.
Not what does everyone else need from me.

What do I need?

Maybe it’s making that appointment you keep putting off.

Maybe it’s an early night, a walk, a coffee with a friend, asking for help, saying no to something… or saying yes to something that’s purely for you.

It doesn’t have to be big.

Give yourself a few minutes today to notice what your body, mind and soul have been trying to tell you.

And please, if something in your body doesn’t feel right, don’t put it off. Get it checked.

That might just be one of the best gifts you ever give yourself. 🧡

Kylie Jansen ~ Growing Greatness threw this question into the mix on our Walk & Talk today…

What are you building right now that will outlast the effort it took to build it?

It’s one of those questions that follows you home.

For me, I keep coming back to connection.
Building a community takes time.

Relationships take time. Creating spaces where people feel comfortable enough to have real conversations, ask for help, share what they know and cheer someone else on takes time too.

You don’t always see the result of that effort straight away.

Then you hear that two people you introduced are now working together. Someone says a conversation was exactly what they needed that week. A friendship forms. An opportunity comes from a connection made months ago.

And you realise the thing you’re building is bigger than the event, the coffee, the lunch or the introduction.

That’s the bit I hope outlasts the effort.

Thanks Kylie for today’s Walk & Talk, the photo, and particularly for the question. Kylie has a wonderful way of bringing women together around conversations that go a little deeper than the usual “how’s business?” definitely worth connecting with her if that sounds like your kind of thing too.

Now I’m curious… what are you building that you hope will outlast the effort it takes to create it?

🌸 Your health is your greatest asset—don’t leave it to chance. 🌸

In the building industry, we’re often checking permits, plans, and project timelines—but when was the last time you checked in on you?

Whether you’re on the tools or behind the desk, early detection saves lives. Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate—and neither does heart disease, skin cancer, or stress-related burnout. Men and women, this is your sign to take your health seriously.

Let’s make the 1st of every month your official self-check-in day. Block it in your calendar. Put a sticky note on the mirror. Set a phone reminder. 💗💪

👉 Breast checks
👉 Skin checks
👉 Mental health check-ins
👉 Blood pressure and routine GP visits
👉 Asking for support when you need it

is more than a hashtag—it’s a commitment to yourself, your family, and your future.

Let’s normalise looking after ourselves as much as we do our businesses.

Tag someone to remind them too. 📅💖

It's the first of the month... time for our check-in. 💛

This little reminder started after my own breast cancer diagnosis, encouraging us all to become familiar with our bodies and the importance of early detection.

Over time, it's become something more.
A reminder to check in with our body. Our mind. And to ask ourselves a simple question...
What do I need right now?

If I'm honest, what I'm feeling on the first of this month is that I need a little more time away from technology and a little more time in nature.

The uncertainty around business, the constant notifications, emails and news have left me feeling more stressed than I'd like to admit. And whenever that happens, I know it's time to get back to the simple things that help me feel like me again.

So this month I'm choosing walks without my phone, fresh air, sunshine and a few more moments where the only thing demanding my attention is the sound of the birds.

How about you?
✨ What does your body, mind or heart need a little more of this month?

As always... ✔️ Do your breast check. ✔️ Listen to your body. ✔️ Be curious if something doesn't feel right. ✔️ And don't forget that looking after your mental and emotional wellbeing is just as important.

I'd love to hear what you're choosing for yourself this month.

🥶❄️ ❄️🥶

No, this photo wasn't taken today.

But with it being the first day of winter, it felt appropriate to pull out a photo of Phil and I rugged up by the ocean looking like we'd accidentally booked a holiday to Antarctica. 😂

While many of us are feeling the cold on the first day of winter, today is also a reminder to .

What started as a breast cancer awareness campaign has become a monthly reminder for me to pay attention to my overall health.

Not just the obvious things.

My energy. My stress levels. My sleep. My mindset. My body.

Because our bodies are pretty clever. They often whisper long before they scream.

Research tells us that chronic stress can impact everything from our immune system and sleep quality to heart health and overall wellbeing. Yet so many of us push through, telling ourselves we'll slow down "when things settle down."

The reality?

Things rarely settle down on their own.

So today, while you're searching for your beanie, turning up the heater and wondering where autumn disappeared to, take five minutes for a health check too.

💗 Book that appointment you've been putting off. 💗 Do your self-check. 💗 Check in on your mental health. 💗 Ask yourself how you're really going.

Your business needs you.

Your family needs you.

And most importantly, you need you.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to locate my winter woollies and complain about the temperature until at least September. 😉

Fresh flowers from yesterday's baby shower, a candle burning and a quiet few hours to myself.

This weekend has been a beautiful mix of family, friendship and business.

With all the excitement of preparing for Alarna's baby shower, spending time with family and enjoying the special moments that make life so meaningful, there were a few things on my business to-do list that didn't quite get finished during the week.

And honestly, I love having a few hours on a Sunday to catch up.

Not because I have to.

Because I enjoy what I do.

There is something incredibly satisfying about ticking off those lingering tasks, clearing some space in my head and setting myself up for the week ahead.

For me, one of the greatest gifts of running our own business is the flexibility to make room for both.

The celebrations. The family moments. The friendships. The work that lights me up.

Sometimes that means a busy week and a few focused hours on a Sunday afternoon.

And that's okay.

In fact, it's exactly the kind of life and business I've worked to create.

Now, with flowers on my desk and a sense of accomplishment creeping in, I'm feeling excited for a new month, a new week and all the opportunities ahead.

What helps you feel prepared and intentional heading into a new week? 💛

Another beautiful day celebrating love, family, friendship and the very special little person who will soon make us a family of three generations. 💛

This weekend we gathered to celebrate Alarna and Daniel as they prepare to welcome their first baby into the world.

One of the activities from the baby shower was decorating wooden blocks. As I looked at each block, I couldn't help but think about the village already surrounding this baby with love, hopes, dreams and good wishes.

As parents, every stage has been an adventure. From first steps and first days at school, through to careers, relationships, engagements and weddings. And now, somehow, we're here preparing to watch our own beautiful girl become a mum.

I'll admit, I'm not quite sure I'm ready to be called Nana yet 😆, but I am incredibly excited about this next chapter and the privilege of watching Alarna and Daniel create a family of their own.

What filled my heart most was looking around the room and seeing a friendship circle that has been together and stood beside each other through challenges and celebrations, engagements and weddings, and who are now sharing this next season of life together.

There is something incredibly special about friendships that grow up with you.

The laughter, the stories, the memories, and now the excitement of watching these friendships step into parenthood and begin creating memories for the next generation.

Days like this leave me feeling so grateful.

For family. For friendship. For the village that helps raise a child. And for the joy of watching life come full circle.

My heart is very full. 💕

There’s something about the eve of Anzac Day that makes you pause…
Not just to remember—but to really feel the weight of the stories that have been passed down through families.

I’ve grown up hearing them.
My mum’s dad…
swapping places in the trench for a cigarette…
only to watch his mate lose his life moments later.

A great uncle…
who carried more than anyone could see…
and eventually couldn’t carry it anymore.

And you start to wonder—
how much can one person hold?

The trauma.
The loss.
The things they saw… that we’ll never fully understand.

Yet because of them…

we get to come home.
We get to sit around the table with our families.

We get to build businesses, communities, and lives that feel safe.

That’s not something I take lightly.

As an ambassador for The Rising Sun Charitable Trust, I’m reminded that remembrance isn’t just about looking back…
It’s about how we show up now.

How we support those who are still carrying the impact of service.

How we create connection, understanding, and community for those who need it most.

Lest we forget.

If this message resonates, take a moment tomorrow…
not just to remember—but to reach out, check in, and connect.
