It feels completely impossible to summarise what the last 4 years in the Mummies Mansion has meant to me. I turned 30 in this beautiful house — hosted all kinds of kooky events (epic Halloween party, tennis party, bdays), had many a haircut, cried a bunch, loved so hard, and most of all, shared it with all the wonderful people in my life. Seasons of Life, seasons of cool and hot.

If you have been a part of this home that has felt like community in any way, thank you 💖💖💖💖

For years I felt like I was "too much" for Australian workplaces.

Too loud. Overly confident. And too colourful for Melbourne. When I landed in the city known for its black corporate uniform, I didn't own a single piece of black clothing.

It took a few "career-limiting moves" before I learned about tall poppy syndrome.

I finally had a name for what I'd been feelinhttps://app.socialpilot.co/posts/calendar#g and experiencing.

Here's what I've learned as a career coach: Tall poppy syndrome doesn't just affect confidence. It actively sabotages job searches.

If you've spent your career trying not to stand out, how do you suddenly sell yourself in an interview? How do you tell your story in the first person? How do you claim your achievements without cringing?

My Australian clients struggle with this more than my international clients. And it's not because they lack achievements. It's because they've been trained to downplay them.

The term "tall poppy syndrome" is Australian. But the impulse exists in other cultures as well:
→ Scandinavia has the "Law of Jante"
→ Japan says "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down"
→ The Dutch call it "maaiveldcultuur" — don't stick your head above the mowing field

Different words. Same dynamic.

I was honoured to discuss this on SBS Insight with Kumi Taguchi. Thank you to Kumi and the entire SBS Insight team for your warmth and professionalism — and especially to producer Kiara Mezzina for reaching out.

If you've ever felt like you had to shrink yourself to fit in at work, this episode will resonate.

Watch the full episode on Jealousy on YouTube or your SBS app. Link in my Stories.

What if I moved through life rooted in deep love and gratitude
for all the abundance already here?

What if I shed the old stories
the ones stitched with scarcity and shadowed by doubt?
What if I laid down the weight of unworthiness
and stepped into the light of enoughness?

What if I walked the world in truth
authentic, open-hearted,
led by love:
love for this life,
love for others,
and yes—love for myself?

What if I let the old narratives fall away,
bit by bit,
and dared to envision more?
More joy, more freedom, more becoming
for the soul I am becoming.

➖ Sacred Feminine Flow 27/4 ➖
How could mere words ever capture
the exquisite, breath-stealing gratitude
that surges through the body,
so fierce and tender it brings me to tears, again and again?

This Sunday felt like a lifetime in the making —
a long-held dream unfurling at last.
The yearning to leap, to create, to move
in a way that is raw, true, and alive in each unfolding moment, among others brave and curious enough to come along.

To gather and explore the mysteries of self,
to honour the sacred elements of the womb
through a lens of reverence and wonder —
this sensation still hums and shimmers in my nervous system.

To the bold, beautiful souls who trusted the flow,
who trusted me,
and more importantly, trusted themselves —
my heart overflows with gratitude.
Thank you for daring to move,
to breathe,
to be,
beside me.

What a staggering privilege it is —
to be alive,
to consciously taste the sweetness of new experience,
to know, again and again,
that life is a sacred dance.

Thanks to the incredible @groundedmovementstudio for your constant support. @caroshakes who forever gives to me and the community. @praksiscanberra team and community for helping me create a beautiful space.
@stephengowdance for always believing in me.
My incredible friends who have my back through all of this.
Humbled by you all. 🧡
