This morning I had the utter pleasure of being invited to the official charity launch of Miracle Mums Movement.

Lou, the founder of this movement, is of herself an inspiration, but to build on her presence she also made space this morning for the stories of three incredible women to share their experiences.

Here is what I know, stories matter.
Womens stories matter.
The way that women tell their stories matter.
The way we listen to those stories, matters.

Making room for women to tell their stories, to hold space and to reaffirm their truth, matters.
It matters because women deserve to feel safe, validated, seen and have room to grow.

It ALSO matters becuase when women do better, when women can grow into who they're becoming, when they can reach for their life goals and flourish... we all benefit. Our children benefit, our families, our workpalaces, our friends and our communities.

And it all starts with the simple act, that Lou has made room for, of creating a safe space and room for women and their stories.

I couldnt have been more honuored to be in the room.

If you'd like to know more about this movement, you can find them on all the socials and also at www.miraclemumsmovement.org.au
They hold DGR status and any donation over $2 Im sure is gratefully recieved, and will go right where one would expect a donation to an organsiation of this calibre to go.

Thank you for having me x

As of 26 May 2025, it will be an offence to use domestic and family violence, including coercive control, on behalf of a respondent.

It will be illegal for anyone (including friends or family of a respondent) to intimidate or abuse a victim-survivor named in a domestic violence order (DVO), or police protection order on behalf of the respondent.

The offence extends to those who may ‘benefit’ from engaging in behaviour to help a respondent, such as third parties like private investigators hired to locate and monitor an aggrieved or victim-survivor.

Edit: This is in Queensland, Australia - through a new offence: Engaging in domestic violence or associated domestic violence to aid respondent

Amanda Gamble is a psychologist specialising in childrens sleep, and just quietly, she is amazing. She is working on building a special program in this area, and is looking to talk to people who may be experiencing issues. She is focussed on younger kids, 5-12 rather than infants. She isn't selling anything, although when her program is developed im sure she will share it with you, but she is looking to learn, what are you struggling with right now? how is it for you? What do you need? Ive probably not done her justice at all in this explanation... but if you're interested in learning from her, and sharing your wisdom with her, she can be found here... just send her an email www.mightiersleep.com

They lied

Im just here to remind you that maybe you’re not crazy, that maybe just maybe, they lied.

Not gas lit, not manipulated, no grand plan (although maybe that’s there too sometimes)

Sometimes people just flat out lie. They have their reasons- conscious or not- but sometimes that’s all it is. You don’t have to agonise over what you did or why or what caused it.
Maybe they just lied, and really, it has nothing to do with you except that you bore the impact of that deception.

Sometimes people just do what people do in their darkest moments. That includes just flat out not telling the truth.

It’s okay for you to never think about it again, and for you to move forward in your life with the knowledge that they told a lie, and the wisdom to remember that when in contact with them in the future.
Stay gentle

Can you help me?

If you’re a therapist taking the leap into private practice in Australia, and secretly stressing about how to set up your business finances properly you’re not alone in your overwhelmed stress-y feelings! It is SO common!

Figuring out tax, reconciling income, pulling the moving parts together, and feeling confident you’ve actually got your financial sh*t together can feel like a full-time job of itself… and then you also need to know how to lay out your wealth plans, and manage your tax obligations years into the future!

I’ve spent 20 years as a therapist and 10 in the finance industry, and now in collaboration with an Accountant, I’m creating something new for therapists like you—so you can feel capable, organised, and in control of your money as you step into private practice.

I’m chatting with a few experienced therapists this fortnight to make sure this resource is 100% what you need.

If you’ve got time for a casual 30-minute chat (and want half-price early access to the beta course as my thankyou!), comment below or email me on [[email protected]], or you can go right ahead and book yourself in here [https://clientportal.zandahealth.com/clientportal/gentlewithyou]
