Create the life you want with a vision board Self Love

Create the life you want with a vision board

We’ve talked about how to create a vision board before, but here it is, in my thoughts again, because I believe it’s a super important and underutilised tool. Without a clear vision, we have no say in where we are heading. And without a visual representation of that vision, we can easily get absorbed in the busyness of everyday. Why create a vision board Look, I want to make it clear that a vision board…

I know a thing or two about grief and loss Self Love

I know a thing or two about grief and loss

In 2013, my sweet little boho family relocated from Queensland and bought a stunning 25-acre New South Wales coastal property, an easy five-minute drive to the beach. We had our horses, dogs, chooks, a very successful business and so many plans for the future. I could never have predicted the grief and loss I was about to experience. I thought I was living the dream. I was turning 40 and about to celebrate my 10th…

Why single mums need to slow down Self Love

Why single mums need to slow down

Solo parenting is a hard gig, be kind to yourself I never thought I’d be a single mum. So, when it happened, I was completely blindsided. My life, and my darling children’s lives, changed overnight. As a mum, I’ve always felt like women are the project managers of the home. I know that seems like a controversial thing to say, but it’s the truth. Even for married or partnered mama’s, tell me who does the…

Embrace the joy of missing out MinimalistSelf Love

Embrace the joy of missing out

JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) Oh the joy of missing out.  When the world begins to shout And rush towards that shining thing; The latest bit of mental bling – Trying to have it, see it, do it, You simply know you won't go through it; The anxious clamouring and need This restless hungry thing to feed. Instead, you feel the loveliness; The pleasure of your emptiness. You spurn the treasure on the shelf In favour of…

Create Christmas traditions that really matter

5 reasons you should give experiences as gifts this Christmas The kids rip through the wrapping paper at lightning speed, not slowing down for long enough to enjoy the gift before moving onto the next. At the end of the day, they’ve received so much stuff they can’t remember what they got (or who gave it to them) and you’re wondering where on Earth you’re going to put it all. Sound familiar? Maybe it’s time…

How to be a minimalist in 1 simple step Self Love

How to be a minimalist in 1 simple step

The benefits of simplifying your life So, you want to know how to be a minimalist? Or does the thought make you want to run for the hills? Just the word ‘minimalism’ makes some people cringe. It conjures up images of stark, white walls, sparse furnishings and a half-empty wardrobe. For some of you, this would be a welcome breath of fresh air, while for others their first thought would be “we’ve been robbed”! The…

Q&A with Hiddy Slow Down

Q&A with Hiddy

Yes, sometimes I rush too This week’s blog article is a little different. In my work developing digital courses and content for my slowing community, I’m always focused on you and giving you the most value and support I possibly can to learn how to slow down. But I also understand you want to know a bit more about me. Truthfully, it feels a bit awkward to talk about myself – I’m far more interested…

The importance of rest and relaxation Slow Down

The importance of rest and relaxation

You don't need anyone else's permission to slow down I’m not going to insult your intelligence by telling you it’s important to rest and relax. You already know that. So, let me ask you? If you understand the importance of rest and relaxation, why aren’t you doing it? Why aren’t you honouring yourself with time to recharge, time to daydream, time to just BE? I talk to LOTS of women and I’m struck by the…

How to stop comparing yourself to others Self Love

How to stop comparing yourself to others

You’re enough, believe me when I tell you that Am I good enough? Why can’t I be as pretty as her? I wish we could afford a big house like the neighbours. Everyone is guilty of trying to keep up with the Joneses sometimes, but ultimately comparison serves no purpose but to make us feel unworthy. That’s why I think it’s so important to learn how to stop comparing yourself to others. Don’t get me…
