Journaling for connection and courage.
Guiding individuals and communities toward courage, compassion, and resilience via workshops and storytelling.
Journalling and Wellbeing Workshops
Through my Words for Wellbeing workshops, I guide participants in using journalling as a tool for self-reflection, stress relief, and personal growth. Each workshop offers a safe, supportive space to explore your inner world, process emotions, and leave feeling a little lighter.
These workshops are often best supported through community groups or not-for-profit organisations. If funding is needed, I can assist groups with applying for grants to help cover costs and make these workshops accessible.
Public Speaking
I speak at conferences, community events, and gatherings on topics close to my heart:
WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE
Sharing stories of resilience, leadership, and the realities of rural life.
-
ADHD
Offering personal insights and strategies for living authentically with ADHD.
-
RURAL MENTAL HEALTH
Starting open, honest conversations about wellbeing in the bush, where silence too often weighs heavily.
My talks are real, relatable, and designed to connect, inspire and encourage.
Writing
I share stories, reflections, and snapshots of rural life on my Facebook blog and now here on my website.
From the challenges of farming through droughts and debt, to the small joys of green grass after the rain, I write honestly about what t means to live and work on the land.
My writing has resonated widely, sparking conversations and building community across Australia.
