My Story - so far…

I remember saying to my mum as a kid, “I want to save the world.”

Big dreams for a little girl—but they came from a real place. I’ve always been caring, protective, and drawn to helping people, especially children and those whose voices weren’t always heard.

I spent the second half of my childhood on the land, and looking back, that connection to wide open spaces, animals, and a simpler way of living shaped more of me than I realised at the time.

Growing up, I wasn’t the straight-path student. I loved basketball, horses, and for a while had big dreams of being a hip-hop dancer (might still have those, actually). But I didn’t really have a clear direction when school ended.

So, like a lot of people, I figured it out as I went.

I moved out with friends, worked jobs I didn’t love, and lived a pretty messy, in-between version of life for a while. Fun at times but not really aligned.

There were definitely more rent-help conversations than I’d like to admit… sorry girls.

Eventually, I found myself back at home with no real direction and a lot of questions about what came next.

I went through the usual ideas—study, childcare, police force—but nothing really landed.

So, I did something different.

I slowed down long enough to actually ask myself:
What do I enjoy?
What do I want to learn more about?

I wrote it down, sat with it, and after a few quiet minutes something very clear came in:

Horses & cattle.

Simple. Unexpected. But it felt certain.

That moment changed everything.

It was the first time I really listened—and trusted—that inner knowing.

That decision led me to move across the country to a cattle station in the Northern Territory. And yes… that’s also where I met my husband (funny how life works when you actually listen).

From there, life unfolded in seasons.

I became a mum to three children.
I navigated big cross-country moves and identity shifts.
I moved through motherhood, change, and reinvention more than once.
I explored holistic health when my children faced intolerances, which opened a whole new layer of learning.
And I began my own healing journey—slowly reconnecting back to myself again.

Each season taught me the same thing:

When I slow down and listen to myself, things start to shift.

Not perfectly. Not always easily. But honestly.

Now, as life shifts again, I find myself back in that familiar space of asking what’s next.

So, I did what I always come back to.

I paused. I asked three questions:
What do I enjoy?
What do I want to learn more about?
How can I help?

And that’s what brought me here.
