You can be competent and still feel lost. It’s ok, I hear you.

I wanted to share something a little personal, and a change in direction for my work.

The last couple of years have been pretty challenging for me. Behind the scenes, there’s been a lot of soul searching, some hard decisions… and a real wake-up call around my own near burnout.

For a long time, I’ve been passionate about sustainable living — in the kitchen, in the garden, in our homes.

But what I’ve come to realise is this:

If we’re completely exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on empty… none of that is actually sustainable.

So my focus is shifting.

Moving forward, my work will centre around women’s personal sustainability — supporting women who are doing a lot, carrying a lot, and quietly running themselves into the ground.

Because sustainability doesn’t start in the pantry or the garden.

It starts with you.

You’ll find out more about rest, capacity, energy, and what it really means to take care of ourselves in a sustainable way.

If that’s something you need right now, you’re in the right place 💛

Have an awesome "4th" day. Remember to protect your routines and rhythms that help sustain you. ;)

What one thing can you do today to help yourself be more personally sustainable?

Feeling good about myself is part of what sustains me. My hairdresser not only gives me an opportunity for a time out pamper session, but also helps keep my hair in amazing condition. This saves me money in the long run which is a bonus. Thanks to Pena and the brilliant team at

This is what it's about! I've met Craig and he was engaging and genuine. We need more of this in the world. People like Craig, myself and others want to help, want to make a difference. Help us to do it.

I’m not entirely sure how to start this… but I do know this — I’m incredibly grateful. 🌱

I feel very lucky to be in the position I’m in. To share what I’ve learned over a lifetime in the garden… and to know that it’s actually making a difference in people’s lives.

That’s not something I take lightly.

It’s not a burden — far from it. It’s what gets me out of bed each day. It’s like emotional oxygen knowing that somewhere, someone reads or hears something I share… and it helps them do things differently.

Maybe it saves them time.
Maybe it saves them money.
Maybe it saves them frustration.
And in many cases — it helps improve their health.

That connection between healthy soil and healthy people is real. And for a long time, we’ve missed it.

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of spending time in Shepparton and Kyabram — and I just want to say a heartfelt thank you.

To everyone who came along, shared your stories, asked questions, and supported the events — it was wonderful to meet you.

And a special thanks to Craig Turner and Kate from Shepparton Plant Farm, and Sue from Fab Flowers Florist and Nursery in Kyabram for making it all happen.

The conversations, the feedback, the energy — it reinforces just how important this work is.

Because this isn’t just about gardening.
It’s about taking back control of what we grow, how it’s grown, and the quality of the food we put on our plates.

It’s about growing nutrient-dense food in living soil — right where you are.

And I’ll keep doing the work — learning, studying, and sharing — to make sure what I pass on is as current and as useful as possible.

So thank you. Truly.
