A Love Letter. Unposted
A couple of years ago I lost one of my best friends from school. Here's the thing, I knew she was unwell and had hand written her a letter because that was our gig back in high school. You remember the ones: folded up into such a tiny package the paper literally...
But What Can We DO About Christchurch? A Short List Of Ideas To Help
When something happens like the recent massacre in Christchurch, those of us who aren’t directly negatively impacted can be tempted to offload our horror on Facebook. And then promptly move on. Increasingly, many of us are looking to ditch the “thoughts and prayers”...
Changing Your Perceptions? It’s A Bit Magic
I wasn’t sure I was a Mumpreneur. In fact, I wasn’t convinced I am an entrepreneur, even without the gender specific label in front. Not in the pure sense of the term. A business owner; yep. A creative in business; possibly closer. A paid writer; yahoo! Finally. And a...
National WA Business Excellence Award – While Working From The Hallway
Do you know what? I suck at PR. I suck so hard at it I don’t even do it for myself. This press release below? It’s a hurriedly updated version of a great one I got back from a dear friend (and past copy student) Anna, from CreativeIQ, when I became an AusMumpreneur...

This blog was inspired by a presentation I was invited to give to the Motivating Mum’s community on International Women’s Day, 2017. I wanted to talk to you about balance…because I think it’s balderdash And while maybe, yes, saying it’s a conspiracy to keep us down...
What If I Could Be Both?
What if Jay forgets her entire story? No, that’s not happening. So, I don’t know if you noticed as I walked up here, and maybe you didn’t. Maybe you thought, “I know that girl from the interwebs,” or “Look, there’s Jay. She washed her hair and she got out of her...
I’m Not Sure I’m A Mumpreneur
Not a mompreneur either. Not a blondepreneur, or femmepreneur, or even a bedpreneur. In fact, I’m not even an entrepreneur, in the pure sense of the term. But I am a business owner. A creative in business. And a mother. (And a wife, a Musical Theatre nut, a Caesar...
Are You A Dodgy Wife? I Thought I Was Too
In my spare time (ha!) I stalk the Duggars and read blogs of polygamist Mormon women. … I know. (If you’ve never binge-watched Big Love while considering which of your girlfriends you could bear to live with, you’re missing out!) OK, it’s partly because they...
