A little reminder for Sonographers today:

You don’t have to know everything.

You don’t have to get every scan perfect.

You don’t have to be the fastest Sonographer in the department.

You just need to keep learning, keep asking questions and keep trying to get better.

That’s what makes a good Sonographer šŸ’™

As I’ve locumed around Australia, I’ve been chatting to students and sonographers across Australia.

And over the past decade, I’ve noticed that many of us are facing the same sorts of challenges.

But there isn’t one simple answer to all the questions that come up.

Sometimes you just need to talk it through with someone who understands the profession.

That’s why I offer individualised, one-on-one online consultations with me.

After 16 years as a sonographer — including 12 years travelling full-time as a locum — I’ve seen and heard just about everything.

Clinical questions. Career decisions. Workplace frustrations. Study struggles. Confidence issues. Questions about what comes next.

Sometimes you don’t need another course, another article or another opinion from Google or Chat.

You just need an experienced sonographer in your corner. Someone who’s been their own boss and knows how the industry works.

I can also help with contract review, pay negotiations, getting setup to locum, resume review and feedback.

That’s what these consultations are for, to help Sonographers level up in their career to achieve a better work life balance.

It’s what I wish was available when I started locum work.

But I’ve done all the hard work, so you don’t have to, giving you a shortcut to level up faster.

And, if you’re a qualified sonographer, these sessions are tax deductible!

If you get in quick and become a founding member for just $3/per month, you’ll also receive a 50% discount on your first online purchase and an ongoing 20% off all online services offered on my website.

All sessions are direct with me in a video consultation.

I hope to meet some of you soon šŸ¤—

I live in less than 8m2 with my partner.

And somehow we make it work.

Our truck is luxury on wheels.

We have a queen bed, 50 inch TV, 2 x PS5s and my very own office!

Not forgetting, a proper shower with loads of room and composting toilet. No wet room. No wet toilet to sit on.

Fold out washing line in the shower complete with Konsilee silicone shower caddies.

3kg wall mounted washing machine which works incredibly well and even sings me a song!

A couple’s booth, 3/4 size fridge and wardrobe! 2 x sinks/basins. Loads of storage.

And that’s just on the inside.

We have an outdoor shower and sink, multiple areas for outdoor barbecues.

At the back at the workshop, we have a pull out bar/dining area complete with fitted floating seats.

Oh and we tow a small trailer with a boat on top šŸ˜†

We are in the final stages of the build. We’ve been living in it for 2 years whilst we’ve been building it, so it’s already home.

Just have to finalise the bathroom cabinets and a few minor things and then it will be photo ready to give you guys a tour.

Stay tuned āœŒļøšŸ«¶

I don’t talk about this enough…

I really do love sonography. ā¤ļø

After 16 years in this profession, I’ve been reflecting on just how much this career has given me.

It gave me a career I genuinely find fascinating. It has allowed me to keep learning, meet incredible people, work in different places and experience opportunities I never could have imagined when I first started.

It has taken me across Australia, overseas and into the world of locum work. It has given me independence, friendships, experiences and a career that has shaped so much of my life.

And ultimately, it led me to create Sonographers Downunder.

I’m now at a point where I’m making some changes. I’m allowing more time for myself, for travelling, for the things I enjoy and for the life I’ve worked so hard to create.

But I’m not quitting sonography.

I’m simply making room for more.

Because after 16 years, I’ve realised that loving your career and wanting more from life don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

So today, rather than focusing on the challenges of our profession, I want to celebrate it.

I’m incredibly grateful I chose sonography.

And if you’re a student considering this career, or a sonographer somewhere along your journey, I hope you remember there is so much to love about what we do — and so many different ways to make this profession work for you. šŸ’™

🌟Nobody tells you that being a sonographer means:

You can be completely exhausted before your first patient has even arrived.

You can spend 8 hours a day talking to strangers… and still have days where you barely speak to your colleagues.

You can know exactly what’s wrong with someone’s shoulder, but have absolutely no idea what to do with your own.

You can spend your day telling patients to relax while quietly reminding yourself to breathe.

You can be incredibly good at your job and still have days where you wonder if you actually know what you’re doing.

You can love sonography and still be completely over it sometimes.

And somehow, after all these years, you can still get excited when you see something genuinely interesting on the screen.

Because being a sonographer is a weird combination of science, skill, physical endurance, emotional intelligence, problem-solving… and occasionally just surviving until lunch šŸ˜†

What’s something about being a sonographer that nobody warned you about?

Apparently, being a sonographer who lives in a truck is a bit unusual šŸ˜‚

Every now and then, I put on my scrubs and head back into the ultrasound room.

The rest of the time, I’m barefoot, barbecuing outside the truck, chasing sunsets and waking up somewhere completely different.

I’ve been living on the road for 12 years now, and somehow my career as a sonographer has helped make this unconventional life possible.

It’s a pretty strange combination when you think about it…

Clean scrubs and clinical environments one minute.

Dirty feet, dust and a barbecue the next. šŸ˜‚

I’ve written a little more about how I ended up here, and why I wouldn’t necessarily choose a ā€œnormalā€ life even if I could.

A little reminder for the sonographer who needs it today… šŸ’™

You know more than you did a year ago.

You’ve handled scans that once made you nervous.

You’ve learned from your mistakes.

You’ve helped patients through some of their hardest days.

You’ve probably taught someone else something without even realising it.

Somehow, you became the experienced sonographer that your younger self would have looked up to.

Don’t forget to give yourself some credit.

You’re probably doing a much better job than you think. 🫶

Keep going. You’ve got this. ✨

It’s been a massive day, packing up and hitting the road again.

We are exhausted, but also excited and grateful.

We have just arrived in the Lockyer Valley this afternoon, and it’s so lovely to escape the light pollution and see the Milky Way again!

Back to what we know and love.

And once settled, I’ll dive back into some locum work.

But for now, we’re going to get a few finishing things done on the truck in preparation to head south at the end of the month.

And take a much needed break from scanning.

For now, we have a gorgeous parking spot and can feel the breeze again.

We treated ourselves to dinner at a cool little diner šŸ˜

Catch you guys soon.

The retirement I refused to wait for…

My dad was only 51 years old when I lost him. It’s been 20 years now.

He never got to see the retirement he had worked so hard for, and I think about that a lot.

Tomorrow, we are hitting the road again, this time in our new custom-built expedition truck that we built ourselves. Well… mostly my partner. šŸ˜‚

Dad would have absolutely loved this truck. He would have loved the fact that we’ve taken a chance on ourselves and decided to chase our dreams rather than waiting for some point in the future when we were ā€œsupposedā€ to start living.

I wrote a little more about why that matters to me in my latest Substack article.

This is for you, dad šŸ’™
