What if…
What if there’s a brand new Mother and her newborn baby. What if she’s struggling so much and feeling so overwhelmed and needs emotional support. What if the only place she can find that support is out in the world, where other people live and where emotional support comes naturally, through conversations and daily ongoing’s with other human beings, where…

This is who I am, this is where I live.
I keep my mornings quiet. I get up early. Drink some tea. Then decide what I feel like next. Sometimes a meditation. Sometimes straight into yoga. Sometimes sitting with a blanket on the couch reading a book until my son wakes up. Whatever feels right. And this morning, it felt right to make my tea, light a candle in the…
Nobody can fix fucked.
We sit in our houses, watching our screens, waiting for the President to speak, as if he has some sort of supernatural power to make this all go away.

I just have to share this story. So this morning I have a fully loaded scheduled day. Drop my kid off at school at 8.15am, drive to the Woolies (yes yes I still go there, deal with it), do some quick morning Whatsapp’s in the car while I wait for 9am to arrive. 9am-9.20am – quick Woolies shop, then back…
How I went viral.
She had the perfect storm. The features that were taken, the company who took them – while promoting responsible sourcing, the safety features for infants. It was the perfect storm from every angle, you can’t replicate that afterwards. Andrew Papadopoulos, KISCH IP on The Money Show with Bruce Whitfield (ffwd to 60 mins in to listen) The same thing has…
