Couples that hike together - stay together 🙌🏽

We celebrated 20 years of marriage last week hiking the hidden beaches of the beautiful Coromandel. We also just celebrated 13 years of doing business together - Breathe PR is a teenager. 😌🙏🏽

We are extremely grateful for all of it - working from home together, the business we have built and the clients we get to work with. It's not always easy, but it's all well worth it. 🫶🏾

Last week I facilitated an Inclusive Communications Workshop for Toi Moana Bay of Plenty Regional Council. 🫶🏾

Over two hours, we explored what it really means to communicate so that everyone in our communities can access, understand and act on information - including Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Blind and low-vision , LGBTQIA+ rainbow communities, and neurodivergent individuals. 👩🏽‍🦯🧏🏽 🏳️‍🌈🧠

This work is deeply personal for me as well as professional. As a parent of a transgender teen who has ASD (autism spectrum disorder), I see every day how systems, spaces and language can either open doors or quietly close them. My work with Deaf Aotearoa and Pride Pledge 🏳️‍🌈 has reinforced that accessibility and inclusion are imperative to ensure everyone in our society has a fair chance at feeling seen, validated and included. 🙌🏽

Great to be in Dunedin this week with my client Kim Forrester. What a beautiful city... and just casually off to a castle for high tea this afternoon. 👸🏼

I don't know about you but this year is flying! 😮‍💨 ...we are busy and juggling, but balancing that with moments of rest to breathe and reset.

Whether you're working with machinery, running numbers through spreadsheets or travelling from one meeting to the next - stopping to take a mindful moment is essential. ✨ It's the reset that helps you to stay sharp - so you can show up calm and collected during your work day.

It's this calm and confident state that brings the best quality of work out of you - and helps to protect your reputation as you are less likely to make mistakes, bring better ideas to the table and be able to communicate with ease. You'll feel better in yourself too! 😌

We love sharing stories of children experiencing fun and laughter, especially for those who have had a rough time through a cancer journey - that's the magic of Camp Quality ✨ these camps help kids to just be kids again.

Our Summer of Smiles Campaign has seen coverage across the motu, including a couple of articles that have landed on the front page! We're grateful to the journalists and media outlets that have given this important cause the airtime it deserves. 🙏🏽

Instead of coming up with new year's resolutions, I always choose a specific word to guide my goals and set the tone for the year.

This year, that word is "grow" 🪴

In a business sense, “grow” often means increasing the bottom line or taking on more clients - and yes, that’s absolutely part of the goal. But for me, grow in 2026 is about more than numbers.

It’s about learning new skills, growing my connections, and extending the services and opportunities we can offer our clients. It’s also about internal growth - building confidence, sharpening strengths, and growing in character.

It’s never too late to learn, evolve, and stretch yourself. That’s the energy I’m taking into this year, both personally and at Breathe PR.

Do you have a word for 2026? Would love to hear about it...

Happy New Year ✨

The Chinese Year of the Fire Horse begins on 17 February - bringing bold energy, passion, creativity and momentum. It’s a year that encourages big ideas, brave decisions and challenging the status quo (with a reminder to pace ourselves too).

We’re ready to bring focus, fire and heart to the work we do at Breathe PR in the year ahead. Grateful for the clients and collaborators we get to work alongside.

Here’s to a powerful year ahead - we're ready and raring to go! 🐴🔥

Excited to help launch Mrgrocernz's innovative grocery bag in support of Child Cancer Foundation today. 🙌🏽

I can't wait to see these in stores - not only does every purchase provide a 50 cent donation to support tamariki with cancer and their whānau, these clever bags have a unique feature that will genuinely help ease the supermarket stress! The bags clip together, allowing a smooth movement from laying in the back of your boot to standing in a row together ready for the groceries to be loaded - genius! 👌🏽

Ooosh this is a great quote. 🤌🏽 If you want to ensure your intended audience is picking up what you're putting down, do this:

✨ put yourself in the shoes of the person receiving your message for a minute, and ask yourself - what do I want / need to take from this message? Do these words interest me and inspire me to take action? ✨

Don't just say whatever you're thinking, craft your words into what is interesting, appealing, catchy, clear to understand and simple so your audience can connect and receive with ease.

Finally, have a measure to make sure you have been engaged with and understood correctly when you communicate. Whether it's an opportunity for feedback, a follow up call or email, a survey or comments on social media - there are plenty of places to check and gauge if your messages are landing for people.

Our thoughts and ideas can easily spill out through writing, speaking or signing words, but to communicate effectively, we must present our thoughts and ideas in a way they can be clearly understood. 😌

It's my birthday week! So naturally I decided to celebrate in nature, away from the screens, taking in plenty of deep breaths. 😮‍💨🌾🌊 ...I love having a birthday this time of year as the first hints of summer ignite a little excitement. This past year has been beyond challenging for me, but feeling grateful to my friends, colleagues and clients who have supported me through it. 🙏🏽
