Continue reading →: Preparedness Isn’t Panic — It’s CapabilityPreparedness isn’t about panic or “doomsday” thinking. It’s about capability, resilience, and having options when things don’t go to plan. In Australia, risk is part of everyday life. Wet seasons and cyclones affect the north, while heatwaves, bushfires, and flooding impact much of the country. Preparing for these events isn’t…

Continue reading →: Read the World #1I’ve learned over the years that paying attention to the world matters.Living inside the news and social media cycles does not. There’s a difference between being informed and being overwhelmed — and learning that difference is a form of preparedness and protection for yourself. The internet is full of BS…

I loved my old team, but was offered an exciting new opportunity in a new location and a promotion to boot, so I’ve made the plunge and relocated! I’d like to think this brings me a small step closer to some…

Continue reading →: Promotion or Stability? Choosing between 2 good jobsI was recently offered a new job – one I hadn’t been expecting to be offered, and definitely not this soon. It’s interstate, in a different city and with a different organisation, and a promotion to boot, with my own team to manage, so big changes all around! I’ve sat…

Some modicum of what’s appropriate behaviour in society vs what isn’t. But there are so many things I feel I could have spent 12 years learning that school didn’t teach – or, interestingly, dropped off more…

Continue reading →: How do you find your people?I think more and more people feel like while they may technically have friends, they’re never the close, chosen friends of their friends. I’ve given a lot more to most of the people who were in my life from the beginning of my adulthood to now, and got very little…

Continue reading →: Carry on only travelI love carry on only travel! I’m not uber fit or skinny, so it isn’t an easy ‘challenge’ to fit my clothes and kit into one cabin-approved bag under 7kgs. I think that’s part of why I love it – it’s about striking a balance. I still pay for checked…

But, when I stumbled upon a home made lamb milk replacer, I never had a lamb be ill, get scours, or do anything but thrive. Here’s the recipe: Mix it up fresh,…
