We help children develop a growth mindset so they are able to regulate their own feelings & emotions.

Someone will love it. Someone will judge it. Do it anyway.

A couple of days at the CCIM Conference in the Gold Coast and, despite being very much not a doctor, I somehow related to almost every session I sat in.

Leadership. Burnout. Change. Identity. Pressure. Trying to do a good job while also having an actual life.

Turns out, strip away the job titles and we’re all just humans trying to figure out how to fit it all in.

Which feels pretty fitting for a conference themed Metamorphosis.

Because we’re all constantly becoming slightly different versions of ourselves. In our careers, our families, our relationships and somewhere in there, ourselves.

Constantly juggling ambition with guilt. Wanting to be present at work without feeling like you should be somewhere else. Wanting to be present at home without mentally running through everything you haven’t finished at work.

A very relaxing way to live. 😂

I made the call to change my flight and get home for Father’s Day and the kids’ last soccer game. And weirdly, once I’d made the decision, I could actually enjoy being here. No more internal debate about where I should be. I could just be where I was.

I didn’t manage to put my feet in the sand while I was away, which feels mildly offensive, but I’m learning to trust that sometimes you make the call, change the plan and keep moving. I don’t think I would have enjoyed the pause anyway, knowing I’m missing something at home.

Maybe that’s part of the metamorphosis too.

Not having the balance figured out. Just getting a little better at knowing what matters in that moment and trusting yourself enough to choose it. 🦋✨

I’ve lived here long enough to accept a lot of things.

Ceiling heating is not one of them.

And yes, I know spring officially starts today. ✨ 🌼

Sometimes the signs aren’t obvious. You’re still functioning, still showing up, still getting $h!t done.

But you might notice:

1. Everything is irritating you more than it should.
2. You’re forgetting things you’d normally remember.
3. Small decisions feel disproportionately hard.
4. You’re physically present but mentally somewhere else.
5. Things you usually enjoy are starting to feel like another obligation.

You don’t have to wait until you’re completely depleted to give yourself permission to slow down.

Sometimes noticing you’re at capacity is enough.

Which one usually shows up first for you?

I know Mel Robbins says let them. I know these things are taking up far too much real estate in my brain. And yes, I’m fully aware this is how we cascade into negative thinking 😂

My husband also tells me I’m highly irritable.

But I maintain that saying the irrationally irritating things out loud makes them significantly less irritating.

So really… this is mindfulness.

Kind of.

The workday ends. The mental load doesn’t.

It’s the permission slip, lunches, appointments, laundry, groceries, birthdays, sports, and noticing when one of your kids just isn’t quite themselves.

So when parents say they’re tired, it’s rarely just about needing more sleep. It’s the weight of being the person who remembers, anticipates, organises and hold so much of it together.

If this feels familiar, you’re definitely not the only one carrying it.
