What an incredible afternoon at the @foothillsfoundation Mother’s Day High Tea!! 🧁

It was such a pleasure to be the guest speaker at their annual event, raising funds for @bridgebuildersyouth and the UR Retreat 👯‍♀️

How wonderful to spend a few hours eating yummy food and being surrounded by so many fabulous women, supporting their local community 💕

Well done to all the board members for putting on such a great event, see you next year!! 👏

When it comes to building resilience, choosing you

When it comes to building resilience, choosing your career pathway or finding your voice, it’s always helpful to hear from individuals who have had that shared lived experience 😀

So, if you’re keen for your teen to learn key life skills (just like this one), that help them uncover passion and purpose, check out the 75+ mini motivational videos called Power Talks from Happow. 🙌

Hear from mental health advocates, resilience experts, entrepreneurs, youth educators and more ➕

Ok, so I want to talk about some incredible humans

Ok, so I want to talk about some incredible humans for a second.

Somehow I am friends with not just one, but two crazily, awesome legends that have decided to run across America. Yep, ACROSS the whole country! (I’ll save you the time to Google it) that’s 3,071 miles, or 4,942kms for us Aussie’s! 😳

My first shout out goes to @richarddonovan7 who also happens to be the Race Director for the @worldmarathonchallenge777 . He is two weeks into the run, and smashing it despite a slight injury. This guy is pure legend! 💪

My second shout out goes to the young gun, @gregrunsfar . After his own struggles with mental health for many years, he is completing the challenge for the @runfarfoundation to help support others. He is eight days in. This guy is the coolest. 🤙

And of course, who could forget the super awesome @sandysuckling . Last Friday, this pint-sized Wonder Woman ran 1,100kms over 21 days to support the work of @runagainstviolence . She is an absolute rockstar! 🤘

These epic journeys are super human efforts. SUPER HUMAN. 🙌 Can we just get around these legends for a second?

So, if you think you can’t achieve your dreams, your wrong.

If you were waiting for a sign, here it is. Go get em’ tiger! 🐯

A lot of people ask me what it takes to achieve extraordinary things, and can I tell you that watching the extraordinary right before my eyes this week has been such a blessing! 💕

Enter, @sandysuckling.

This humble, tiny human, who is a local teacher here in Melbourne is doing the impossible. She might be short in stature but she has the biggest heart! ❤️

Running a whopping 1,100kms from Broken Hill to Melbourne is a challenge that most people would find daunting, even driving a car!!

She is 3 days out from the final finish line, but I know she’ll make it. The fierce determination and mental fortitude I’ve seen from her these past few days is to be admired.

And she’s doing it all to help others! @runagainstviolence

Get around this girl with some words of encouragement and praise!!

Run, Sandy, Run!! ❤️❤️❤️

Day one of being ‘support crew’ for @sandysuck

Today I had the opportunity to hang out with the Probus Club of Lilydale! 🙌

What a great group of people, connecting with each other and supporting their community! 🧡

I shared about overcoming adversity, learning how to be courageous and recognising our potential 👆

They were delightful and had so many questions!! Loved it.

Followed by lunch together 🥗

I never thought this day would come, but it's time

I never thought this day would come, but it's time to say goodbye to my Bridge Builders family 💙

A mentor of mine once said to me…
“The greatest gift you can give in life is to leave a life changed”

That’s exactly what BB has done for me.

Its hard to sum up 17 years in a few sentences. One thing I can honestly say is that the bold and confident woman I am today is a far cry from that shy, awkward and self conscious young girl I once was. And I owe that to my BB family 💙

The years have flown past, and at the same time it’s been half my life.

I have set up more skate ramps then I care to remember. I’ve helped host hundreds of major events, from music gigs to world jet ski championships, community markets to car shows. I’ve helped run multiple programs, from leadership to VCAL, from mentoring to Monday nights. I became a Surf Life Saver, a Marathoner Runner and a public speaker (you’d never know I used to be afraid to use a mic!) 🎤🤣

Some of my most memorable moments including starting the UR Retreat for Young Women in 2008, my first trip overseas to America for the John Maxwell Team training in 2013 and founding the @runfortheyoungmarathon in 2014. (And FINALLY finishing the Postie Bike Ride!) 🏍💜

In the past two years alone I've run marathons all over the planet during the World Marathon Challenge and competed as Recruit #9 on @sasaustralia , none of which would have been possible without BB and the team.

I’ve felt afraid and stepped outside of my comfort zone on countless occasions. I’ve challenged myself and I’ve been challenged by the team to fulfil my potential and never settle for less. I am beyond blessed to have been part of BB for so many wonderful years and to have been surrounded by so many incredible and genuinely caring people.

Most importantly, I’ve had the privilege to walk alongside thousands of struggling youth, and seen them rise above the challenges of life. That is my legacy here ❤️

In particular, we engaged in conversations about Courage, Persistence and Hope 🧡

Always planning the next adventure! 😁

From March 24-28 I’ll be riding my Purple Postie for 1,500kms around Victoria, as part of the ‘my kids’ Postie Bike Ride! 🏍🏍

I’ll be joining 30 riders who are daring to take on this epic challenge, in support of @bridgebuildersyouth 💜

I’m the Team Captain for Purple Team 🟣 and I know we will be giving teams Green 🟢 and Blue 🔵 a run for their money! 💪 #teampurple💜

My aim is to raise $10,000 and I’m just over half way. I’d love your support, any donation big or small would be appreciated!! (Link in bio)

A big thanks to Brendan and the team at @the_drain_man for your support! 🙏

P.S for those who know the journey, this will be my third attempt at this challenge, it’s definitely time for redemption!!

13 years ago today.

This devastating event had such a huge impact on so many people, and our broader community. If you weren’t effected personally, I’m sure you knew someone who was.

My heart goes out to those we lost, those who lost loved ones and those still recovering. Today, my thoughts and prayers are with you 🧡

When your new drink bottle is bigger than your head! 💁‍♀️

In #atomichabits by @jamesclear I’ve learned the power of changing our daily actions. It has inspired me to make a few changes to my daily routine 📖

“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become” 🗳

First habit - drink more wine…I mean water 💦
So far so good.

As a proud Australian, I celebrate today for all that we are, as a nation and as a people. I am humbled to have represented our wonderful country 🇦🇺

I also respectfully acknowledge that today is a day of mourning for our indigenous people, and I stand with you in solidarity 🧡

To me, being Australian isn’t one or the other, it’s both.

Congratulations also to champion @dylanalcott for being awarded the honour of Australian of the Year! 🏆 Rippa bloke!!

In July last year, I was nominated for the Yarra Ranges ‘Trailblazer’ award 😁

Thanks to so many of you who voted, I WON and as part of the award I received the prize of this portrait painted by the very talented @catmacinnes 👩‍🎨

This portrait has been included in the online exhibition of other amazing Trailblazing women!

Here is a pic of me with the two originals in my hot little hands! 🥳

I am so humbled by the nomination, and so grateful to each of you who voted! Thank you so much 🙏

And my work has just begun…so many wonderful and exciting projects on the go 🧡

2021, you’ve been good to me.

It’s easy to feel like it’s been a wasted year, but life is all about perspective. As 2021 comes to close, I’m intentionally being thankful for what HAPPENED, rather than what DIDN’T. Because that’s a big list 📖

I kick-started the year with my first Two Bays 28km run and rounded it out as the Race Director at our Annual Run for the Young Marathon 🏃‍♀️

In between these running events, I was able to celebrate two significant birthdays, attend a wedding, attend two funerals, I enjoyed two ladies weekends away, a hot air balloon ride, supported charity, moved house and was a recruit on @sasaustralia 💪

Even though I’ve been working from home and I’ve been in and out (mostly in) lockdown all year, staring at the 4 walls, I’ve still been blessed, and so have you 👉 Sometimes we just need to focus on and actually count our blessings 🙏

We CAN walk into 2022 with confidence, and know that your best is yet to come. If someone from Melbourne can say that, you know it’s true 💯

Feel the fear, and move forward anyway. Let go of the pain and embrace new beginnings ✨
