When hubby puts together the snack plate and you ask for some fruit 👏😂

Protein, fats, carbs and a little bit of fruit thrown in for good measure. 😅

Such a simple reminder that snacks don’t need to be complicated. A mix of protein, fats, carbs + fruit or veg helps make them more filling and satisfying.

And sometimes a snack plate is simply whatever you’ve got in the fridge and pantry 🙌

What a great night! 💛

Last week’s Family Nutrition Workshop was filled with great conversations, plenty of engagement and some really positive feedback.

One of my favourite comments afterwards was from someone who said the workshop had “started a fire in her” 😅🔥

And honestly, it’s nights like these that remind me exactly why I love what I do.

I love being able to help people understand nutrition without making it feel complicated or overwhelming.

To take all the information we’re constantly surrounded by and bring it back to simple, practical things you can actually do in everyday life.

Because working towards better health doesn’t have to mean overhauling everything you eat or changing your entire lifestyle overnight.

Sometimes it’s simply understanding where you can start, making a few changes that work for you and your family, and building from there.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, asked questions, shared their experiences and made the night what it was. 🥰

And thank you to The YMCA for having me and supporting an evening of practical, realistic family nutrition. 💛

This is exactly why I meal plan each week 🙌

Not because our weeks are perfectly organised. They are definately not 😅

After a very full weekend and another busy day today, the last thing I wanted was to get to 5pm and have to figure out what we were having for dinner.

I'd already planned beef stroganoff and was able to prep before swimming lessons. I also added whatever veggies needed using up from the fridge and dinner was done.

Meal planning doesn't have to mean hours of meal prep or having everything perfectly organised.

Sometimes it's simply taking 10- 15 minutes to decide what's for dinner for the week so there's one less decision to make when you're already tired and juggling everything else.

A little planning ahead can make nourishing yourself and your family so much easier on the busy days.

If meals and meal planning are feeling harder than they need to right now, reach out. I'd love to help you make it feel simpler and more manageable for your family 💛

Quick zoom around once we get home from school pick-up.

Hang the washing, make smoothies for the kids, then jump on my monthly study check-in call. It’s only 30 minutes, so hopefully no fights break out in that time 🤞😂

And yep… I’ve been studying again since last month because there’s always more to learn and I genuinely can’t help myself 😅🤭

I love continuing to build my knowledge in functional nutrition and women’s health so I can keep bringing more into the support I provide my clients.

Recipe not measured well but I used:
• Banana
• Frozen Strawberries
• Almond milk
• Tsp Choc Collagen powder

Whizz Whizz in thermie and done ✅️

I do love a good roast!! 😍

And luckily my hubby is pretty good at making them because it’s one meal I don’t actually enjoy cooking 😆

We typically serve with lots of steamed veggies — usually cauliflower, broccoli and carrot but we kept it super simple here and used up an eggplant that needed to be eaten.

Nothing fancy. Just a good, nourishing family meal. 🙌

The only thing I’d probably swap or improve the quality of on this plate is the gravy. We used Gravox powder because the veggie gravy we used to buy is no longer available… and I haven’t gone any further to find another one or learn to make our own 😅

I’m sure homemade gravy is simple enough. We just haven’t done it!

And that’s real life.

Healthy eating doesn’t mean every part of every meal needs to be made from scratch or be the ‘best’ option. Focus on what you’re doing most of the time, make improvements where they realistically fit, and enjoy your food too. 💛

Who else loves a good roast?

And more importantly… are you a homemade gravy household or a Gravox/Maggi household? 😂

Yesterday I rested!

Yesterday my body was tired. Not your typical tired from a late night or interrupted sleep where you can still keep going.

I was genuinely drained.

So I listened.

I put everything aside, spent most of the day on the couch with my son and gave my body what it was asking for. REST!

This is very rare for me, which is why I knew I needed to listen. At first I wondered if I was getting sick, but I felt fine in that regard. I just had nothing in the tank.

Clients are often surprised when I tell them to give themselves permission to pull back. To rest when they need to.

Especially busy mums who are constantly on the go juggling kids, work, the household, appointments, sport and everything else that comes with the mental load of family life.

Sometimes supporting your health, energy and stress levels isn't about adding another healthy habit to your list. Sometimes it's actually about doing less.

To actually have a day off.

To slow down.

To enjoy some time to themselves while the kids are at school or hubby is off without feeling like they need to fill that time getting everything done.

Somewhere along the way, constantly being busy has become the norm. We fill every spare moment, keep pushing through and tell ourselves we'll rest when everything is done.

But when is everything ever actually done?

Trust me, I get it. I find it hard too. Yesterday was a reminder of that for me.

And rest doesn't always mean a whole day on the couch.

Sometimes it's sleeping in when you can. Sitting outside with a cuppa. Taking 5–10 minutes to yourself after school drop-off. Leaving the non-essential jobs for another day. Choosing yoga, stretching over a intense workout or Going to bed a little earlier.

Looking after your health isn't only about what you eat or how much you exercise. Rest matters too.

Sometimes we need to listen when our body says:

“Not today.” 💛

The human body is incredible. Growing a baby is amazing, but it also places huge demands on the body physically and nutritionally.

Images like this really put into perspective just how much the body is adapting, shifting and working behind the scenes throughout pregnancy.

Thinking of all those growing babies right now ❤️❤️🤰🏻🤰🏽🤰🏿❤️❤️
Pregnancy body changes from the inside😲
No wonder we get indigestion, frequent toilet stops, constipation, breathing can be tricky, sore joints, aching breasts .....

Super proud of us today!! 🏃‍♀️💛

I signed up to do the Town of Port Hedland Ship to Shore running program and had every intention of doing the training properly.

I made it to one session!! 🤯

Life just didn't line up the way I'd planned.

Between kids, afternoon sports, shift work, hubby being away, running my business, the usual household juggle and starting study again in July, there were plenty of weeks where I genuinely wanted to make the sessions work... and I just couldn't.

And I think that's important for many of us to realise.

There is only so much we can do!

Sometimes we're making excuses.

And sometimes we're simply working with the reality of our life right now.

There were definitely moments where I thought, well, I haven't trained properly... maybe I just won't do it.

But instead of giving up completely, I changed the goal.

I trained when I could.
I ran when it worked.
I moved my body in ways that fitted into my life.

And I accepted that my preparation wasn't going to look the way I'd originally planned.

Not to mention my pelvic floor decided to add an extra hurdle to the running journey... thank you, children. 😂🙃

So my goal for today was simple:

Walk as little as possible.

I reckon I ran about 90% of it and I'm bloody happy with that. 🙌

Not because I pushed through, trained harder or somehow managed to magically find more hours in my week.

But because I worked with the time, capacity and life I have right now and still got out there and did it.

We hear so much messaging around:

Push through.
Show up anyway.
Get up earlier.
Stay up later.
Stop making excuses.
If you want it badly enough, you'll find a way.

And yes, sometimes we DO need a little push. Sometimes we need to stop negotiating with ourselves and just get out the door.

But I don't think pushing harder is always the answer.

Sometimes you need to adjust the expectation.

As a mum, I know how easy it is to feel like prioritising your kids, your family, work or simply REST means you're somehow not prioritising yourself enough.

But there are only so many hours in a day and only so much physical and mental capacity we have.

Doing less in one season doesn't mean you've given up on yourself.

Walking instead of running isn't failing.
Training twice instead of five times isn't failing.
Doing 20 minutes instead of an hour isn't failing.
Changing the goal isn't failing.

Sometimes adapting IS how you keep showing up.

I didn't train for this the way I'd hoped.

But I showed up today with the body, fitness and capacity I have right now.

And I'm pretty bloody proud of that. 💛

For all the Mummas out there feeling like they need to do more. I hear you, I see you and you are doing freaking amazing with where you are right now 🫶💕

The plan was to go for a run anyway...

But after one of those mornings with my 3 year old, I realised just how much I needed it.

Part of why I was so triggered had nothing to do with him.

It was the mental load. The never ending to do list.

The house work
The business.
Family life.

Trying to keep all the balls in the air while continuing to push through.

Sometimes we don't even realise how much pressure has been building until something small tips us over the edge.

And that's okay.

For me, this run wasn't about fitness. It was about creating a little space to reset, regulate my nervous system, and come back as the version of myself I want to be.

Looking after ourselves isn't selfish. It's often what allows us to keep showing up for everyone else.

If you needed this reminder today:

Check in with yourself. Have you been running on empty?

What is one small thing you can do today to support yourself? 💛

Another morning of my not so pretty breakfast but quick, nourishing & healthy non the less.

- x2 eggs
- Avocado
- Ground Flaxseeds
- Goats cheese
- Sourdough. The last pieces from Karratha bakery 😢 Lucky i'm back there next week!

Along with Golden Turmeric Latte with my Collagen added 😋

Truth: I was going to make an omelette but after making the kids breakfast and my drink I actually couldn't bothered getting the chopping board out and chopping 🤭
