There’s something tender about this week between Christmas and New Year. It’s a strange, floaty space. Not quite the year that was, not yet the year that’s coming. It’s a quiet pause in the middle and a moment where the noise softens just enough for us to hear ourselves think.

A couple of weeks ago, something happened to me. I sat at my desk staring at the screen, fingers hovering over the keyboard but not typing, not really doing anything. I felt physically stuck, my body wouldn’t move, my head was spinning, thoughts racing like they were chasing each other in circles: “I can’t do this. I’m not good enough. I’m so tired. I should know better. I don’t look great. I don’t feel great. I am failing at everything”

Stress shows up in tense shoulders. Anxiety lives in a clenched jaw. Anger tightens the fists. Love flutters through our tummies, and adrenaline makes our hearts pump. The body has always spoken for us. Even when we didn't realise it.

So, when did the innocence of our internal language shift? When did it go from cuddles, milk, fairies, and pretend lands to: Am I good enough? Why don’t they like me? How could I have been so stupid? They know I didn’t know the answer, now I feel terrible… Come on, don’t be so lazy

The other day I walked into my local fruit and veg shop and found perfectly fresh strawberries on sale for $1.42. Jackpot! That little thrill reminded me that joy doesn’t need a big stage. And honestly, what’s ever truly perfect?

When I first saw my mum put on her lipstick, I noticed something change. Her shoulders lifted, just slightly, but it was enough. A sparkle

Our bodies don't lie. They're not trying to sabotage us; they're trying to speak to us. And it may be time to listen to your body.

When did "no" become a dirty word Somewhere along the way, we started to believe that being kind meant being constantly available.

I was frazzled. I felt this huge weight settle on me—the weight of expectation. The "good mum" glow I'd been basking in? Gone.

Recently, my focus has shifted to understanding why food plays a pivotal role in my life - how I can better nourish my body to feed my mind

When I reflect on imposter syndrome—when I feel it—it's usually tied to fear: fear of judgment, fear of not fitting in, fear of looking...

We are often told that self-talk is essential. Still, I believe it's time we understood the impact it has on everything we do & how we feel.

Through 2023 and 2024, I realised that I'd never figure out what I wanted if I didn't start clearing my mind. My "get fit, lose weight" goal

Ever look in the mirror and get a shock? You might say, "Yes, Vikki, all the time!" But for me, this moment was different.

This week, I want to discuss raising confident and brave children. But the truth is that this reality only hits once you have your own.

Our spiritual connection is all around us. We can ignite it within ourselves by taking small moments to breathe it in.

This week, I wanted to write about a word that has surfaced repeatedly in conversations.

I've been reflecting on what happens when our focus turns inward and we become so absorbed in our needs and worries that we forget the world

As women in leadership, we often find ourselves balancing a demanding mix of professional, personal, and emotional responsibilities.

Lately, I've noticed how much we pride ourselves on our multitasking ability. Yet, I see a buzzing cycle of stress.
