Brené Brown’s “Gifts of Imperfection”
My loves,
When I listened to @Brené Brown’s “Gifts of Imperfection” audiobook, I would find myself pausing to take deep breaths. Did you know, for instance, that Play and Rest are human NEEDS, not “nice to haves”?
There was so much deep wisdom in it that I ended up writing myself up a wee poster… to remind myself of how to let go of the old way, and what to cultivate next!
You can download it here.
I hope this one resonates with you as much as it does for me.

Soulful Sales Summit
This post contains affiliate links ❤️
Hey possum blossoms,
THRILLED to tell you all about a new summit that’s just gone live!
The goal for the Soulful Sales Summit is a pretty unique one!
It’s specifically designed for and aimed at thoughtful course creators. Each and every presentation is targeted towards what matters to us: our feelings, the feelings of others, the integrity of our offers and the way we market them.
Honestly it makes me tear up a bit. It’s exactly how I try to run my biz: authentically & transparently!
Selling and filling up your offers isn’t always easy as a heart-led course creator.Especially as someone who doesn’t vibe with more mainstream, typical marketing advice (bleugh). You’re probably already selling your offers (it’s a business requirement, after all), but you know there’s got to be an easier way to sell like you.
For 4 days, from October 17th-20th, Ruth Poundwhite, sales & mindset coach and author of the book Quietly Ambitious, is bringing you presentations from 30+ industry experts who have found ways to sell effectively in alignment with their personalities. You’ll hear about everything from selling more with less time and energy, to laid-back launching, feeling safe to sell and more.
What am I going to be talking about, I hear you ask?I’m going to be delving into how I’ve sold over $13 million in 10 hours a week.
Each day’s presentation categories will be available to you for 24 hours, but you can also get lifetime access (along with some other amazing bonuses) by grabbing the Sales Booster Bundle Upgrade.
What other topics are being presented?Omg babes, there’s a cornucopia of presentations, strap in!
Momentum-Building Sales Systems by my biz bestie Lizzy GoddardCrafting a High-Converting Sales Page for Your Online Course by the fabulous Jeanette Spencer4 Things You Need to Know About Your Ideal Client to Make Selling Easier by the brilliant Lucille Roacheand LITERALLY so many more!!!And did I mention the daily themes?Daily themes covering all aspects of selling as a heart-led course creator:
Day 1 is about Practical Strategies for Fun & Easeful SalesDay 2 is about Knowing & Trusting Yourself to Sell Your WayDay 3 is about Soulful Selling TechniquesDay 4 is about Believing in Yourself & the Value of Your OfferThe best part? It’s totally free!I could talk about this summit for HOURS, I tell you! It’s gonna be absolutely brilliant, so grab your FREE ticket today!
Big love,

Scrapbook: 30 Magical Things I Found On The Internet
Pookybears,
It’s important for me as a creative to make sure I’m consuming good quality creations… not just a mindless scroll of blabbering. Here’s my scrapbook of all the things that have fed my eyes, heart, brain & soul lately. I usually collect all the things that inspire me in my art journal… consider this my digital version!
Filled with things I’ve read, things I’ve beauty, things I’ve watched…
Get yourself a big ole cup of tea… this is a long one!
This really tickled my fancy: a photographer recreating a famous painting.
This gorgeous art journal. Spacious & colourful all at once!
I adore Jennifer’s handstitched cardigan… mending turned into art!
Sana Javeri Kadri’s stunning, colourful home.
How to use a commonplace book.
Adore this artwork by Paul Davis.
Jennifer Orken Lewis’ trip to Spain… oof, SO inspiring!
Beauty from Camilla Engman.
Mary Ann Moss’ winter sketchbooks.
This image from Grant Snider made me pause. Also loved these comics: Constructing My Identity, Unfocussed and Emotional Tetris.
Always love Addison Wonderland’s interior designs…
These comics on ageing are just perfect.
This article blew me away… completely inspiring. Mr Money Mustache investigates car-free cities.The value of reparationsI am a raving fan girl of Gina Chick, who won Australia’s Alone. Her writing is just as incredible as her soul: this article on winning and her Substack.Dorky Mum on Turning 40.Tips on fighting fascism:Craig Mod on the endearing town of Morioka, Japan.Rebecca Green’s incredible deep look into simplicity in artworks.Dungeons and Dragons on Death RowI love the stories from Julia’s Mother Ranch… including the time she created these fairy houses!50 short Stoic rules for a better lifeBaz Luhrmann interview. Hard related to this quote from him:“The War Department thought it was important for Americans to understand the tactics fascists would use to take power in the United States. They would try to gain power “under the guise of ‘super-patriotism’ and ‘super-Americanism.”
I need freedom above all else. I can’t do things any other way. I have to feel free enough to say, ‘I want to do it like that.’
And lastly, three goodies from Swiss Miss, the curator of all things glorious:
Ru Paul’s home tour is so delicious – fun and colourful!
This music video defies easy description. It’s one of the most powerful things I’ve seen in a long time.
My little family just finished watching season 1 of American Born Chinese, and we ALL adored it. A fascinating combination of teen drama, fantasy and martial arts… entwined with mythology, religion and racism. Another one that is hard to explain, but holy fuck it was great!
Just watched the movie Red, White & Royal Blue. Totally delicious. I loved reading it as a novel when it first came out a few years ago – along with Casey McQuiston’s other gloriously good queer romance One Last Stop. I am HERE for all my favourite romance novels being made into movies and TV. More of this, please!
Hope these goodies inspire you…May you create & share your own beautiful work!
Big love,

The Plover Mother
Dearests,
It feels like a full time job just to deal with the Sheer Quantities And Breadth of Life stuff at the moment.
Maybe it feels like that for you as well?
It’s Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere, and with it comes Fragile Season. The season I both look forward to and wince at the thought of. This season, the ducks will be followed by a swarm of impossibly small ducklings. But I know each time I see them, there may be one duckling less, and that breaks my heart in anticipation.
And then the plovers, don’t even get me started on the plovers. This season, they will play the part of the deeply committed couple who choose to gestate and give birth in some of the most ridiculously dangerous places. There are nesting couples on the edge of the motorway. A nesting couple now on the pathway near our house, attacking every passerby with trilling abandon. They may have shit location choice, but the two of them will FUCK.UP. any danger nearing their baby in their dirt nest. I can barely cope at the vulnerability of it all, and whether all these ducklings and baby plovers will find safe passage to adulthood.
My kids are 13 and 9 now. And they don’t need me as physically anymore. But they still need me fiercely to be the emotional hub of our family wheel. As they get older, it gets trickier to know the right thing to do or say. I’m still trying to see who they really are instead of who I think they are. All I know for sure is: they are exquisite and lovely and lovable, exactly as they are.
I’m writing you this horizontally. I’ve been in a back pain flare up for 5 days and it hurts to be vertical. I feel both relieved to spend time in my very favourite place (bed) and also frustrated because there’s so much I want to see and do and create… but I’m limited by what my body can manage. This too is the exact right thing that’s needed.
There’s been a spate of loss and grief here too. Our much loved family doctor passed away suddenly. One of my favourite teachers who was brave and bold and brilliant, and was my penpal for many years. A beloved friend’s dog who my children were obsessed by. It’s not just our own shock and grief we feel, it’s the communal grief. Of all the others who loved and lost these souls too. There is a gaping hole in my chest where star dust is dancing.
… and now we are back, 90 minutes later. I stopped writing this to play Big Spoon to one kid who was having hard feelings and needed empathy and hugs. And after putting her to bed, it was on to the other kid who was also having hard feelings, but did not want my hugs. I’m not sure if she cared for my empathy either, but I gave it anyway, ever hopeful.
Here I am, turning up, doing the best I can. Getting to bed too late. I’ll lie awake and smell the star jasmine blooming in our neighbour’s garden, and listen to the plovers raucously protect their nest through the night. Me and that plover, we’re just the same after all.
Big love,
