I actually had so much fun tonight at the launch of the new space for dietetic and feeding group, in Altona North.

What a networking event, THERE WAS STICKERS!! There was also individual charcuterie boxes, cupcakes, dessert cups, and drinks. We got to just sit back, get comfortable, and put together some sticker books while we had a chat and met a few new people. And I met some great people ☺️

Can you imagine my delight when I learned that Eating and Feeding are literally a 5 minute drive from me? In fact I could walk there if I wanted, they’re so close. Eating and Feeding are a neurodiversity affirming, trauma-informed team who help individuals and families navigate concerns around eating and feeding differences, eating disorders, and body image challenges.

Thank you for hosting tonight Natasha and the team. I had a great night, and I’m very proud of my new sticker collection ☺️🧁

A rejuvenating weekend with my Brisbane bestie hiking the Lerderderg circuit gorge walk. Absolutely stunning scenery, and just the right balance of challenge/reward. I’m so glad I finally got myself out there. The rest of the weekend was followed by massages, facials, delicious food, movies, and music 🎶 ☺️🫶🏻

I had the best of intentions today, but I’ve gotten very little done beyond staring at the slides for an upcoming PhD presentation. This little girl has been attached to me like velcro all day, which I don’t mind. Also important work 😍❤️🐶

This morning I took one of my frozen blocks of quinoa salad from my favourite Aldi containers for tonight’s dinner.

I went back into the kitchen and thought there was a lamington sitting on the bench.

What a sad day; I need lamingtons.

After recently taking up drawing again and posting a piece that I did of my little Ollie-monster, one of my oldest friends got in contact with a request. A commission actually, to draw a picture of her sister’s dog who recently passed away; precious Zari, affectionately known as “Zari-girl.”

I was honoured to undertake this project. It’s such a special experience to be given the opportunity to give undivided attention and hours, examining and recreating a favourite photo of someone else’s baby.

I was even more delighted that I got the chance to deliver it today, on Mother’s Day. For anyone who shares life with a non-human baby, we know how they can fill our hearts and lives with love, and how we love and parent them, like we would a child.

Rest in peace now Zari-girl, it was a pleasure getting to know you ❤️

I was thrilled to bits on Friday night to not just see on stage but also MEET the inimitable at their stand up comedy show in Melbourne.

It’s such a cool experience, to have followed someone’s work online for years, and then they just manifest right there in front of you. I’ll admit I was a little star struck 🤩

Sofie is still in Melbourne for the most part of April, performing her show, “I think some of this is my fault,” which was excellent; funny, clever, endearing and humble. I highly recommend checking it out if you get time!!

Life update: Part 3

I wasn’t planning on or expecting this, but……

👩‍🎓📚 I have been offered and have begun working on a PhD 😁😅

For anyone who has spoken to me in the last ten years, you might be shocked right now, because you probably had some window (I couldn’t stop complaining 🤣) into how perpetual study has been a monkey on my back that I couldn’t wait to shake. Suffice to say, I’m as shocked as you are. BUT, I’ve got my reasons, this is different…..

For a start, I’m on a scholarship. So, this is in effect a “paid” research role. More importantly, I couldn’t say no to the specific project that I applied for, which felt like an almost once in a lifetime opportunity. The scope of this PhD is within my exact professional area of interest that I would love to make impact. It is also an extension of the project I worked on for my Masters thesis, which looked at the impact of professional development on weight stigma in healthcare.

I will be working alongside the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC) to evaluate an implementation strategy of training for healthcare professionals. I’ll be focusing my research in the tertiary space, looking at the efficacy of training in universities which aims to up-skill emerging healthcare professionals in how to speak with patients about eating disorders, weight, nutrition, body image, and exercise in ways that don’t reinforce patterns of disordered eating, and ultimately reduce weight stigma in healthcare.

The aim of this research is that it will make healthcare safer and more inclusive for all people, irrespective of body shape, size, BMI, ability, etc.

Over the next handful of years, I will be dividing my time between PhD and private practice. I’ll be setting aside roughly two or so days for seeing clients, but I may reevaluate my schedule over time. I hope that this path will refine my knowledge and skills further as well as make a valuable contribution to research and to the world. And I plan to begin disseminating some of my reading, research, and findings on this platform (and others), so stay tuned!
