Let’s Talk About Talking (a.k.a. Gossip)
There’s something a little icky about gossip, isn’t there? That slow drip of conversation that starts as “concern” and ends up twisting into something that leaves a funny feeling in the pit of your stomach ♡ Lately, I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to fall into it ~ even accidentally. Small towns, small…

Empaths, Boundaries & The Quest to Save the World (A love letter to the ones who feel it all)
Some of us came here wired for empathy. We feel everything ~ the happys, the saddness, the collective ache of the world ~ as if it’s all happening inside us. It’s beautiful, but it’s also bloody exhausting. Empathy is our superpower ♡ But it’s also our soft spot ~ the part of us that keeps…

The Art of Surrender (Part Two)
So…..remember that post I wrote about letting go? Yeah. I have a confession. When I wrote it, I wanted to believe I’d fully surrendered ~ that I was gliding through the storm with barefoot grace and enlightened calm 😳 But honestly? I was more like clinging to the steering wheel of life whispering, “I’m fine,…

Letting go!
Wow! That one really knows how to test me. (And if I’m honest, I’m a little stubborn when it comes to “surrender”) It’s not a neat chapter with a clear ending ~ it’s a lifelong rhythm of release, a practice of surrendering again and again……. This week, I’ve had to say goodbye to a lot.…

When the Kids Come Home
Last night, I nearly had a heart attack. I’d just come home from a party, feeling all smug about staying out past 9pm, when I walked into our cozy rainforest cocoon and from the dark, a couple of shadowy figures casually said, “hey” Naturally, I old-lady yelped, “Who the fuck are you?!” (Because obviously, I’m…

I Would Really Like to Exclude Myself from This Narrative
The world feels unsettled lately and I can feel it mirrored inside me. Life lately feels like a roller coaster with a dodgy safety bar and I’m ready to get off, stat! We’re back in the rental market (send prayers, crystals and snacks) And wow ~ it’s hectic. Like, if the Hunger Games and “The…

When the Ground shifts
Well… this one’s a little hard to write. We’ve just been given notice ~ 90 days to move out. And while I know “home” isn’t always about four walls, this place has been our sanctuary. It’s hard to imagine leaving it behind :'( Uncertainty is a funny (and slightly cruel) thing. You tell yourself to…

Showing Up for Your Human
A lot of humans ask how we still love each other ~ like, really love each other. The kind where you still laugh, still talk about dreams, still check in just to say, “Hey, you ok my love?” We’re Rain and Wick ~ married 12 years, together 18. We’ve built a whole life (and a…

The Pull of the Moon
I feel her and see her all at once ~ through my bedroom window her glow drifts in, making me feel held, like she’s a stage-5 clinger and I’m saved under her ‘faves’ in her cosmic phone book (kinda cute) The moon’s getting full again. They say this one’s the Harvest Moon and a supermoon…

How We Landed in Nimbin
In 2023, we packed up our life in Fremantle, WA. We sold almost everything, bought a caravan and set off east. Just like that, we’d officially joined the ranks of the “grey nomads” only, without the grey (ok, I might have been in denial!) Working online made it possible. Oh boy, it felt liberating. Free.…
