Grab your Keys and Go

If you’re a mum trying to run a business, a household, and maybe even just watch a full episode of something without being interrupted -this one’s for you.

In this episode, we’re diving into the frustrating reality of chopped up time. 

You know the feeling, you’re in flow with your work, and then the school bell rings. You’re just about to rest and watch your show, and someone needs a drink, a story, a cuddle. You find a pocket of ti...

In this episode, Mel and I delve into the complexities of special occasions like Mother's Day and birthdays. These events often come with heightened expectations, and when reality doesn't align, it can lead to disappointment.

We share personal stories highlighting how we sometimes downplay our desires -  saying things like, "Oh, don't worry about my birthday," or "I don't need anything special.&quo...

In this episode of Grab Your Keys and Go, we are flipping the script on hustle and diving deep into something we all say we want but often resist: REST.

Why is it so hard to rest? 

Especially as mothers, business owners, women who care deeply, why does stopping feel so unnatural? 

We chat about the invisible pressures we carry to be “the good woman” Always thinking ahead, taking care of everyone else, being productive, holding it all ...

This week, we sat down with the wonderful Lisa from Walk with Lisa for a deeply insightful and refreshingly honest chat all about the inner critic. You know the voice - that one that creeps in with doubt, comparison, or harsh judgement.

Lisa generously shared her take on this inner voice, and spoiler alert: it’s not just one critic we’re dealing with (sorry, friends) - it’s many! 

But before you brace yourself, Lisa brings a beautifu...

You are in for an absolute treat today....

This week’s episode is a powerful and deeply honest conversation between Nat and Mel, diving into the topic of visibility wounds — the emotional imprints many of us carry from not feeling seen, heard, or valued in key moments of our lives.

Nat asks Mel the kinds of questions that get right to the heart of it:

How did this show up in your world? 

Tell us about the time it really landed for you?...

We were so excited to have Holly MacCue join us on this week’s episode...

As mums and business owners, many of us are left wondering how to actually make it all work—motherhood, business, relationships, and everything in between.

Holly shares how she carved out her own path, creating a role for herself in corporate while building her business and then moving into her business part time while raising her two gorgeous girls.

She’s never...

The Key to It All (And What We Made It Mean)

Ever noticed how two people can experience the exact same event but walk away with completely different stories? That’s the magic (and sometimes, the mess) of second-order reality—where the facts are one thing, but the meaning we attach to them is something else entirely.

This week, we’re taking you on our trip to Melbourne to see Liz Gilbert—a night filled with excitement, a bit of logist...

There’s something truly special about having that one person you can talk to every single day—someone who just gets you. In this episode, we’re diving into the beauty of deep, nourishing friendships. The ones where conversations never run dry, where you can go from laughing about the small things to diving straight into the deep stuff without hesitation.

Friendships like these aren’t just about having fun; they’re about feeling seen...

You can find Jenni here :  https://www.thefembodimentinstitute.com/

Why is receiving so uncomfortable for so many women? 

We’re raised to give—to care, to nurture, to show up for everyone else. But when it comes to accepting support, tenderness, or even a simple act of kindness, we hesitate.

In this episode, we sit down with Jenni from the Fembodiment Institute to explore how this conditioning runs deep. We begin with a scene man...

Time—it's something we all wish we had more of, yet it often feels like it slips through our fingers. In this episode, we’re playing with the illusion of time, exploring the balance between looking ahead and staying present in the moment.

Some moments call for planning and forward thinking, but if we’re always in the future, we miss out on what’s happening right now. Other moments ask us to be fully present, yet the mental load...

We’re back with Season 4 of Grab Your Keys and Go! And what better way to start than by diving into new year rituals—the ones that actually stick.

In this episode, we chat about choosing a word for the year—a simple yet powerful ritual my family uses to bring intention into everything we do. It’s not just about picking a word and forgetting it by February; we weave it into our decisions and actions throughout the year. So far, our w...

FINAL EPISODE FOR SEASON 3 xx

In this episode, we’re diving into the art of chasing joy and creating moments of celebration in our lives. Inspired by my parents’ incredible birthday celebrations, we reflect on how joy can be found everywhere—if we’re present enough to notice it.

Mel and I share how reflecting on the past year helps us uncover moments of joy and gratitude we might have otherwise overlooked. It’s so easy to g...

Have you ever felt like you’re falling behind? That overwhelming sense of urgency can creep in, making it seem like everything on your list needs to be done right now. It’s easy to get caught in the trap of urgency shaming, where unrealistic expectations and perceived judgments leave us feeling squeezed and panicked.

But what if it doesn’t have to be that way? In this episode, we explore the concept of slow productivity—a refreshing...

Did you know that "No" is a full sentence? 

Just "No, thank you," without the need for a long-winded explanation. Sounds simple, right? 

Yet so many of us struggle to say it with confidence.

In this episode, Mel and I dive into the power of saying no—and why it’s such an essential part of self-care. 

It all starts with knowing yourself and what’s truly important to you. After all, every...

So how did we come up with the idea to start a podcast?

And is it something that you could do?

This flows on nicely from episode 62 last week: Embracing your Zones of Genius as Mel and I naturally loooooove chatting with each other and chatting with other people so it was really a no brainer for us.

We fell into podcasting because we love having a good conversation, our hubbies laugh because we would see ...

This week, we're diving into the power of working within your zone of genius—the unique space where you feel energized, confident, and impactful. 

Here’s the key: not every task in your business needs to be about learning something new or constantly upgrading. 

Sometimes, the best move is doubling down on your strengths and creating room for the magic you bring.

We explore the importance of finding people who ...

Have you seen the funny insta reels out there on this topic!

I cracked up the first time I heard about Backwards Maths.

For some of us backwards maths is no joke! And it can really hurt your head trying to figure out how to make time for all the things to come together, especially when you have to do it backwards!

This week, Mel and I dive into the art of backwards planning and why it’s a game-changer for creating space for yourself a...

One man down in our house (yes he is improving) and the painting for the reno's is nearly finished (Phew)

When you set up your life as a two person household and one goes down, it's time to get serious with your priorities.

And you guessed it, boundaries!

So the first thing that I did, was set up my week in a way that would not overload me, but I could still get the essentials done, along with t...

I took a leap and decided to book my holidays outside of the school holidays.

In the past I have worked one week and taken one week off, but it’s never really a holiday and I knew I needed a bit of down time to myself. 

I hear what you are saying, but what about the kids, what did they do all day???

Well I work a few jobs part time, so I had some flexibility already in the holidays, and they are also a bit older so could manage some o...
