Life Lessons From Trump's 2nd Presidential Win
I get that there are some divided energies out there; yet on the whole the majority have spoken on the recent election of Donald J Trump into the White House. He is now officially the 47th President of the United States of America.

How To Improve Your Mental Health While Broke
There is no sugarcoating it. Even if you are mentally well, there are times where all of us confess to experiencing a bit of anxiety and/or depression in particular. According to the World Health Organization, both anxiety and depression has increased by 25% since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and understandably so. Our movements became restricted, and the way that we all lived, worked, and played suddenly changed almost as quickly as soap removes dirt.

Perth is Just Purrfect
There is a spirit of curiosity and adventure that comes with the gift of travel. I say this with a heavy heart, with the empathy that some people were unable to travel, and even to this day are not able to fully appreciate the gift of travel for a myriad of reasons.

Did We Manifest AI Due to Collective Human Attitudes on Work? . Top Story - April 2024.
Food for thought indeed. There is a mighty fine line between "AI is taking our jobs" as a downright conspiracy theory, to something that is true and proven in some (if not many) occupations; from cashiers to illustrators, and robotic surgery to name, let alone robot lawyers for real. Furthermore, this article is not designed to create more fear and uncertainty than what is already circulating in the cosmos, but rather to view AI and the world of work from a different perspective.

An Honest Review of Gabby Bernstein's 21-Day Manifesting Challenge
Gabrielle (Gabby) Bernstein is a New York Times bestseller, and ironically is a New York based motivational speaker and life coach. After the crazy and fatiguing moments that last year (2023, as at the time of writing) manifested in the end, combined with an unexpected health scare before Santa could make his way down the chimney; I seriously needed some more motivation to kick start a brand new year on the right note. The choose-again method in the program was also quite helpful.

Money Conversations To Have With Loved Ones: Part 1 of 2
No different to Scott Pape (The Barefoot Investor, now a financial counsellor) encouraging couples to sit down in a treat-like environment, and have a date night around money with wine, cheese, and even garlic bread (to name) to cheer you on. On this, when I refer to 'loved ones' - that can mean anyone, apart from your significant other. If you prefer to answer these thought-provoking money questions yourself in private, then that is fine too.

Taking The Unconventional Path. An Identity Rinse Out.
We've all been programmed (from when we were crawling, to being able to walk) to go to school, get good grades, go to College/University, and then get a comfortable, safe, secure, and high paying job. Oh, and get a mortgage, and get married, and have a dog with 2.5 kids. How is that plan working out for you, in all seriousness?

Why Silly Season is Becoming Less Silly
Each and every year (with rock solid certainty) towards the pointy end of the year (usually from Halloween onwards) we are in what is known as the Festive Season (aka. Silly Season). This season is obsessed with joy and happiness (sure), as well as burn out, unfairness, inconsistencies, and frivolity, to only name a few.

Perimenopause: Overwhelming. Mysterious. And a Bit Joyful.
It really catches any woman by surprise when it comes, and especially in pandemics and woeful economic times. Please know upfront that this article is not a rant, a complaint, or vents of frustration when it feels like some things turn to s!@t, even when you are not in cycle, and you are medically, physically, and emotionally fit otherwise. I need to point out that this article is part wisdom, part life-hack kind of advice, in order to help any Peri-menopausal woman to continue to be the viva that they are meant to be...on or off the dance floor (metaphorically speaking, as per the first image. Caveat: this is coming from wisdom, and not from any medical training or experience.) I also need to warn you that this article is a bit long, and within good reason. Why not make yourself a cup of herbal tea, or any other healthy beverage of your choosing, and get comfortable. Now let's dig in, because this is gold. Not to impress, but rather to impress upon; I wish I had a guide like this written up for me a short six months ago. It would have made the earlier days of my Peri-menopausal journey much smoother for sure.

Dog Math Explained
In a nutshell, we do not deserve dogs. When they misbehave, we quickly forgive them; especially when we look through their innocent looking eyes. It is their way of saying sorry, and therefore being let off the hook. And is the back door to some treats. You may have heard of Girl Math, Boy Math, Tradie Math, and even ADHD Math. Now the time has come to welcome in the cutest math of all: Dog Math. Yes, it is a thing, all thanks to social media.
