Remembering How To Receive

This is where I’m pretending I am spending most of my sunny days when I close my eyes: On a beach, with nowhere to be and hair that stays in a bun.

More Australian Signs

Signs, signs, everywhere a sign!  We won’t be able to travel to Australia any time soon, but our passports will always be kept up to date to revisit our first home together.

A Note On St Patrick’s Day

12 years ago I went to Ireland for the first time, we were only there 4 days but I knew I had to come back.

The Costs Of Unpaid Labour

Making Things And Breaking Things

Podcasting With Kids, During A Pandemic

Where parenthood meets professional development: I’ll be recording a mixture of solo episodes and chatting with other parents about business, entrepreneurship, flexible and remote work with kids. Depending on the guest, I’ll be covering creativity, community and creating the changes you wish to see in the world.
