Rewilding 🌿 is my intentional word for 2023. I have been setting myself intentional words since 2014 and this one has probably been one of the most expansive ✨

This year I have focused on connection to nature. Learning to be present in the moment. Taking time and effort to identify what is important to me. What serves me. And weeding out that which does not serve me. Being intentional with how and who I give my time to. So I can bring my best self to the ones I love.

As the year comes to a close, I'm feeling incredibly grateful for my rewilding journey - and excited for the evolution into next year's intentional journey!

This video was published 3 years ago but includes footage from the First Nations National Constitutional Convention in May 2017 which is when the Uluṟu Statement was born. The tireless warriors like Aunty Pat Anderson AO, Professor Megan Davis, Noel Pearson and many, many, many more have been sharing these messages for OVER SIX YEARS.

Let that sink in.

Over 80% of First Nations people support the Yes vote. The referendum request was created by First Nations people, for First Nations people.

The very people asking for a voice, have been asking for a voice for years and yet the No campaign tells us they don’t need one; they say they don’t need a formalised voice in parliament. YET the very fact that this incredibly important statement, that was forged by the collective voices of our First Nations people, was for many years largely ignored and now faces distortion and mis-truths from no campaigners; to me, this highlights the CRITICAL IMPORTANCE of the Voice to Parliament.

During this referendum I have met many people who haven’t read the Uluṟu statement, who haven’t listened to the First Nations voices who were at this convention; this is heartbreaking to me. Australia, we can do better.

This vote is too important to remain ignorant.

If you don’t know, find out. Ask questions from sources that aren’t politically poisoned. Think about how absolutely heart wrenching the negativity would feel for our First Nations people, who are minority in numbers but significantly bigger in connection, over thousands of years to our Country.

If you haven’t read the statement, I’ll add a video link, and if you just spare 4 minutes of your time, other people will read it to you.

From Pat Anderson at the First Nations National Constitutional Convention in May 2017
“We can not continue to go on anymore being voiceless and powerless in our own lands. The country needs to be mature and sophisticated enough to have an intelligent conversation so we can all move forward and solve this unfinished business between us all. Because it’s definitely time.”

What is Voice, Treaty and Truth? Hear Aunty Pat Anderson AO, Professor Megan Davis and Noel Pearson speaking directly from the First Nations National Constit...

To paraphrase his words, Premier Peter Malinauskas grew up in a family with a strong social consciousness and it's this awareness, empathy and compassion that motivated him to participate in his 6th Vinnies CEO Sleepout. As a 7th year participant I am genuinely excited to see what this awareness and personal values will bring to South Australia through Peter's role as Premier.

In this week's podcast episode, which was recorded live at the
Vinnies SA CEO Sleepout, I spoke with the Premier about his motivations to participate. We also discuss the critical need to bring together government, nonprofits and the business sector in order to drive meaningful change in areas such as community housing and homelessness.

This is an issue for everyone. Through collaborative and combined effort we can work to make a difference in the lives of people in need.

This morning, two 11 year old students from Somerset Primary School delivered an inspirational Anzac Day address. They answered the question of what Anzac Day meant to them and displayed both conviction in their ideals and empathetic thinking; qualities I believe are worth reflection on this day.

I feel gratitude for the men and women who have sacrificed for our freedom and with this, we had the opportunity to be addressed by those two impressive students.

In episode 294, I’m very excited to welcome back Christopher Warman as we continue to track his journey as a stay at home parent. Throughout our documentary series, Transcending The Gender Narrative we talked about gender barriers for parents and the stereotypes that negatively affect both men and women. Implementing a collaborative team approach with his wife Wendy, Chris is the primary carer for their daughter and together they are living and embody the normalisation of parenting roles, beyond gender. In this update, Chris shares his experiences of this.

In episode 292, recorded live at SouthStart, I go on a recruitment journey with Emma Pudney as she details how she reframed and realigned her personal goals to match her professional goals, in order to secure her dream job. Emma explains the detailed and at times confronting steps that she very consciously took, to become the Chief Technology Officer at Koala. This new job meets the specific requirements she developed in order to ensure her next executive tech role was the best possible fit for herself and the company she works for. Emma shares her approach along with tips for others looking to successfully navigate their own recruitment journey.
