Welcome to my blog!
Follow along for weekly updates on my travel and to keep up to date with my work.
Hi Peeps, well… the sticker shock of diesel prices hitting new heights every day has finally settled. For a moment there, I won’t lie — I had a wave of irrational thoughts about turning around and heading home. But just as quickly, the practical side of me kicked in. Contingency plans, recalculations… and then, just like that, those thoughts disappeared the second I hit the road toward Broome.
Hi Peeps, well, what can I say… what a time to be travelling around Australia.
Hi Peeps, well, I’m happy to report that I’ve well and truly adapted to life on the road! This week I settled into sunny Carnarvon and checked in to an unpowered site at the Discovery Park on Robinson Street.
Hi peeps, and welcome to the very first post of my nationwide road-trip adventure! Before I dive into the journey itself, it feels right to share a little about the lead-up — because preparing for a long trip is its own wild ride.
Derby, you’ve left a mark.
This week I made a very deliberate decision not to work directly in community. That meant no training deliveries, workshops, yarning circles, or filming. Instead, I gave myself the space to focus on some important behind-the-scenes work.
At the beginning of the week, I set up at a shared office space in Carnarvon to catch up on some much-needed work and facilitate an online consultation. It was a quiet start, but it didn’t stay that way for long. As the week unfolded, I was reminded just how vibrant and connected this community is. Carnarvon was buzzing with energy—people moving, creating, supporting one another, and doing some truly incredible work across the town. 🌿
As a consultant, I’ve been working remotely for six years, but this week pushed me in ways I didn’t quite expect. Balancing my workload while packing, unpacking, and reorganising the vehicle to make it road-ready was a challenge I felt in every corner of my body. With demands pressing in from all sides and unexpected setbacks popping up just as I thought I was on track, I think I cycled through every emotion possible. By mid-week, the overwhelm caught up with me and the tears arrived — but so did the reminder that I can, and must, keep moving forward.
