Pink Cactus CO, Geraldton (2026)

26/08/2026

It’s been a sad day. Genuinely.

I’ve had Dolly blaring, the tears have been flowing, and I found myself watching and rewatching the videos I took when I saw her live … Which then snowballed in to me thinking back on so many memories where, somehow, Dolly was part of the soundtrack.

I didn’t know her personally - obviously 🙄 but isn’t it strange (and equally awesome) how someone you’ve never met can still mean so much to your life?

Her music is attached to so many good times. So many years, many friendships, so much fun.

And she also inspired me too.

Coz it wasn’t just the music.

She was clever. Hilarious. Kind. Generous. Unapologetically herself. A woman who might have been underestimated because of how she looked or sounded. But she was sharp, quick witted and incredibly talented.

She made being feminine feel powerful. She never seemed interested in becoming smaller, quieter or less Dolly to make anyone else comfortable. Yet everyone WAS comfortable in her presence.

I especially love that about her.

So today I’m a little heartbroken.

What a woman. What a legacy. And what a soundtrack she has left us with 💗

★ Life Update ★
It's been a while since my last post... so here's what I've squeezed into the calendar lately 😅

✨ Wrapped up August content for my amazing clients (90+ pieces of content across multiple businesses).
✨ Delivered a marketing campaign with more than 110 social posts, ad and media release.
✨ Spent countless hours with the incredible Geraldton Women's Shed - we've officially secured our new home! Now we have to turn an empty shell into something special.
✨ Hung out with the legends from Hot Chippies, who made the trip to check out our new GWS space and help us plan the workshop fit-out (I have a feeling this is just the beginning!).

There's also been brainstorming sessions, emails, phone calls, content approvals, family life, quick Perth trips... and approximately four hundred and eleventy billion hours spent as a soccer mum - and I'm only slightly exaggerating 😂⚽️

It's been all go, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.

How's life travelling for you?

Asking all the really deep, life-changing questions today… 😅

But seriously… I need your advice.

My phone has thousands of text messages dating all the way back to 2017.

Part of me wants to hit delete and enjoy the satisfaction of a clean slate.

The other part loves being able to search old conversations to remember when something happened, find an address, settle a debate, laugh at old messages, or revisit moments I’d completely forgotten.

And maybe this is a little morbid… but I sometimes wonder if one day these conversations will be all I have left of someone.

I’d love to have decades of texts from my brother - but I don’t. Maybe that’s why I find it so hard to let go of the conversations I still have - that what feels like digital clutter today might become something incredibly precious tomorrow.

So… where do you sit?

Do you keep your messages?
Or do you delete them regularly?

And more importantly… why?

I genuinely can’t decide.

It's that time of the month again...
Content creation time!

This week I'll be creating more than 80 pieces of content across social media, graphics, captions, reels and strategy for my clients.

It's one of those weeks where the coffee stays close, the open tabs multiply at a staggering rate, and my to-do list develops its own personality.

But after spending the past three days clocking up more than 10 hours as a soccer mum, sitting down to write, design and create sounds pretty bloody lovely.

What's on your agenda this week - but more importantly - how many tabs have YOU got open right now? 🤪

See you on the other side! 😅

I'll just leave this here...

Some people meditate.
Some people journal.
And some people spend their free time painting a galah inspired by a cigarette ad from the 1980s.

As a Gen Xer / Xennial, "Only a Galah Would Suck Tar" sits somewhere in the same part of my brain as Hey Hey It's Saturday, Hypercolour T-shirts, and rewinding and replaying cassette tapes a hundred times while trying to work out the lyrics to my favourite song.

I love that those wonderfully weird Australian ads somehow became part of our national vocabulary and honestly, it felt rude not to paint it 🤪

⭑ FUN FACT ⭑

I originally started blogging back in 2013.

I'd just had my fifth child and, looking back, probably didn't fully acknowledge I was drowning a little...
OK, truthfully, a lot!

My version of self-care or 'me-time' wasn't yoga, getting a massage, or touching grass.

It was writing.

I'd always loved words. Stories. Poetry. Creative, sarcastic, swear-word style writing.

Writing was how I processed the big feelings growing up, the messy moments of parenting, and the thoughts of everyday life as a wife and woman.

Then in early 2018, something unexpected happened.

One of my more risqué, tongue-in-cheek, heavy on the sarcasm style blogs took off and ended up being featured on Huffington Post.

A little while later I received an email from an editor who had recently moved from Huffington Post to Channel 10's new website, Ten Daily.

He wanted to republish the article.

His exact words?
"Your amazing s*x post was our most-clicked piece of all time at Huffington Post."

Look, he could have exaggerated the truth here to sweeten the deal - I'll never know - and they were going to pay me.

The answer should have been obvious, right?

Except by that stage I'd received some pretty awful messages, nasty comments and a few online death threats from disgruntled men who apparently had very strong feelings about women writing things on the internet.

I was a people-pleaser and hadn't yet learnt that not every opinion deserved a place in my (very heavy) backpack.

At the same time, we'd just lost my father-in-law AND I'd started a new career in real estate.

So I politely declined.

And I don't regret it.

At the time, protecting my peace and safe-guarding my family and career felt more important than chasing an opportunity.

The only regrets I have are not having better comebacks for some of those men and tougher skin 🤪

Thankfully age and experience have greatly improved the thickness of my skin - though I'm not sure it's thick enough for the new 2026 version of haters!

So if you've found yourself wondering why I'm suddenly writing longer form content...

The truth is, I'm not.

I've been doing it for a very long time.

I'm just finally letting myself share it again 🩷

A spec-tator. 👓 🥔

We'll see ourselves out...

Happy Friday everyone 😂

If you've landed here recently - accidentally or intentionally - welcome! 🫶

And if you've had a scroll and found yourself wondering what exactly Pink Cactus Co is, you're probably not alone.

The simple answer?
It's where all my creative worlds collide.

Pink Cactus Co began as a social media business in 2023.
These days, I create content for and manage 10+ businesses across WA - some who've been with me from the beginning. I absolutely love helping brands tell better stories online and connect with their audiences.

But social media is only one piece of the PCC puzzle.

Before content creation, there was blogging.
I've always loved writing.
The funny stories, the heartfelt stories, the relatable stories.
For a while I convinced myself there wasn't room for that kind of writing online anymore...

Turns out there is.

Then came painting.

I'd never painted before.
No art school.
No formal training.
I picked up a paintbrush during a particularly difficult chapter of life and discovered a creative outlet I didn't know I needed.

Somewhere between the canvases, the crime podcasts and the questionable amount of paint purchases, I fell completely in love with creating art.

So now you'll find a mix of things here.

Social media tips + strategies.
Business-y challenges + wins.
Old school blog style writing.
Art and experimental projects.
Creativity in all its forms.

Because Pink Cactus Co isn't really a social media business page anymore. It's a creative hub.

If you're here for social media support, hello, how can I help?
If you're here for the stories, welcome to my over-sharing.
If you're here for the art, be kind - I'm still learning.

Either way, I'm glad you're here 🌵🩷

One of my favourite things about content creation is helping others tell great stories, and over the past few months I've had the absolute privilege of creating content for the 2026 Mullewa Muster & Rodeo.

The numbers are pretty wild:

⭑ Over 185 pieces of content created
⭒ 1.11 million impressions
⭑ 53,460 interactions
⭒ 13,170 followers across social media
⭑ A S•O•L•D • O•U•T EVENT

Yet the numbers only tell part of the story!

Because behind every post was an event organiser, committee member, volunteer, sponsor, local business, farmer or community member working hard behind the scenes to make this kind of magic happen.

This is my second year working with the Mullewa Muster and it has cemented one thing for me:

This isn't just an event.

It's the very definition of community.

For some, it's a bucket-list experience. For others, it's the event of the year. But for everyone involved, it's community spirit in action.

So I want to say a personal congratulations to everyone who played a part in bringing another incredible Muster to life. Even Mother Nature couldn't stop you lot!

Thank you for trusting Pink Cactus Co to help tell the story.

I'm incredibly grateful to have been a small part of the 2026 Muster ❤️🤍🖤
