Complicated questions, simple answer
Whenever you desire change in your life but aren’t sure what to do, it’s helpful to reflect on the wisdom of Dr Seuss. Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. If your questions keep leading to more questions, don’t get frustrated and don’t give up on the process. Stick with it until […]
Happy New Years!
It’s been a year of highlights, though welcoming Eloise into our family takes the cake (Bec, you’ve been a super star). I’ve also really enjoyed returning to daily blogs about career development, especially when they sparked great conversations. I hope you’ve found a gem amongst them!

This is the third Christmas we’ve had as a family, though it’s the first one that we’ve really leaned into the Christmas magic. This has meant Bec and I have had to navigate our own family traditions and what Christmas means to us respectively. We’ve taken a little from each, and we’re looking forward to […]

Perpetual to-dos
