LISTEN: Podcasts that are goodness for the ears and mind
When I do actually get some time to listen to one, it’s either quick burst type of episode or if I have some time in the car while Coopy sleeps at school pick up, I have the opportunity to listen to a little bit of a longer one (IYKYK). I like to use my time wisely, so if I’m going to dedicate my ears to a podcast, I want it to be bullshit and fluff free, straight to the point and full of goodness that I can take away from it. Yes, I devour myself in self development podcasts because it’s what I like to use my quiet listening time for (coz again, as parents there’s not too much of that).

BOOKS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE
I’ve learnt over the years as a busy parent that if you want to read, you need to make time to do it.

Pretty much everything depends on Coop falling asleep if I want to read.

If you struggle with the concept of self love, and are constantly putting evvvveryone else at the top of your to-do list, with you-time right at the very bottom, living in the land of “maybe one day, if I get time”, then these tips are for you!

HOW EXERCISE SAVED ME
I love exercise. I love it because it makes me feel good, I love it because it helps me focus and I love it even more because it helped me get through some of the hardest times in my life, including being a single parent.I have always been into sport and exercise, but that doesn’t mean i’ve always done it.
I fell into my partying ways to cope with my mental illness. Goodbye active lifestyle, unless you call dancing on the podiums with gosh knows how many double blacks under my belt “active”.

5 WAYS TO CHANGE YOUR DAY (AND PROBABLY SOMEONE ELSE'S!)
I’ve always been a big believe in treating everyone with kindness because you never know what type of day they’re having and although other people may not share that same life philosophy, I honestly don’t give a shit. I’m incredibly considerate of other peoples feelings, however I don’t think that me smiling at a stranger as I walk past them is going to make their day any worse.
