01/01/2026

2025 was the year that nearly broke me.
And in some ways, it did.

I’ve always been known for my resilience.
But this was the year I truly had to live it.
The year I kept going when everything in me wanted to stop.

It was a year of constant health scares.
Hospital visits became normal.
Waiting rooms. Tests. Trying to stay calm for everyone else.

Every member of my family ended up there. More than once.
That changes you. Quickly.

It was the year I truly stepped up as a mum.
Learning how to advocate for my child.
Learning how uncomfortable that can be.
Learning that sometimes you have to be louder and braver than you ever planned.

It was also the year we lost a close family member.
The first real loss our family has known like that.
The kind of grief that breaks you open.

Heartbreak.
Learning how to live with someone missing.

Something had to give.
And it did.

I couldn’t run my business the same way anymore.
I couldn’t work the same hours.
I couldn’t keep pretending my body was a machine.

I worked ridiculous hours this year.
And I lost sight of one of my core values.
My health.

That realisation landed hard.
Going into 2026, that changes.

Business was hard in different ways.
Situations that tested my kindness.
Boundaries I never wanted, but needed, to protect my energy and my family.

There was pride too.
In 2025, I coached close to 100 small business owners as an advisor on the NSW Business Connect Scheme.
Sitting with people in the hard moments.
Helping them find clarity when things felt overwhelming.

When the scheme wrapped up, it was hard.
That work mattered.
Those conversations mattered.

I stretched myself this year.
I invested in my skills.
I learned what I’m actually good at and where I bring real value.

In many ways, 2025 wasn’t about growth.
It was about preparation.

And yet, here I am.
Stronger. Clearer.
Knowing exactly what I’m capable of.

I’m heading into 2026 full of hope, renewed energy, and belief in what’s possible.

Here’s to an amazing 2026 for all of us.

Job titles I might nod along to when I hear of, but I’m not quite sure what they are: Scrum Master. Operations Research Analyst. Ichthyologist. 😂

Job title you might nod along to when you hear of, but you may not actually understand what they do: Social Media Manager. 🤣

💫Time to dispel at least one of these mysteries!

Whether I’m crafting pitch-perfect posts, building brand-specific visuals, developing a targeted social media strategy or crunching your data to glean strategic insights, my role is all about amplifying your brand’s voice so we can skyrocket your online visibility. 🚀

While no two days in my job are the same, I love using my skills and insights to help small business owners do what they do best, leaving me to focus on the bits they don’t have the time, inclination or expertise for (algorithmic changes, auto-scheduling, community engagement, organic growth, SEO optimisation… the list goes on!). 🥰

Now, can anybody tell me what that Ichthyologist is? 🐠 😉

While these jobs may not seem related, they share a powerful common thread: people.

In every position I’ve held, I’ve been focused on helping and caring for people, doing what I can to help them achieve their best potential.😍

These experiences have grown a deep empathy in me, giving me an understanding of people from various walks of life. Today, my mission is the same: keep people at the heart of everything I do!

🌺Some beautiful words written by my Grandfather at the end of WW2 🖤
His words seem more apt than ever today. Cecil William Payne (known as Bill), was a wise and kind man, ahead of his time in his thinking, who fortunately came home after serving in the British Royal Navy.

This ANZAC day, my thoughts go out to the brave Australian servicemen and women who fought so fearlessly for Australia's freedom, and also for those who continue to serve to keep us safe. Their courage never ceases to amaze me.

Especially thinking of my little sister today—who served 21 years in the UK Armed Forces, medals of bravery from missions in places like Afghanistan, Kosovo and Yugoslavia. Proud doesn’t even cover it. 🥰

Let's remember and give thanks today. Lest we forget. 🖤🌺

Controversial opinion, what Mum really wants for Mothers Day. [It’s not what you think]

As a Mum, I’ll admit Mothers Day is a pretty big deal. (It was also a pretty big deal when I wasn’t a Mum but for a whole raft of different reasons).

As Mums we basically sacrifice all of own needs on the daily, to look after our amazing tiny humans. And it’s worth it, as the unconditional love you experience with your children is a love like no other.

But let’s be real. It’s a f@cking exhausting gig. Most definitely not for the faint hearted.

On a good day you put in an early shift from 6-9am, miraculously get everyone out the house, work a full day (super focused without any breaks as you have to leave dead on time to pick said munchkins up), race to get everyone home, then start the night shift at 5pm until god knows when, only to crawl completed exhausted into bed but unable to sleep as your running to do list is in overdrive.

So yes, Mothers Day is an important way to recognise what we Mums do. As it’s a lot.

So guys (and gals 🌈) a half dead bunch of flowers from the garage isn’t going to cut it. We don’t want another toxic scented candle, heaven forbid another frickin mismatched mug, tea towel, fluffy slippers or dressing gown. We don’t want new kitchen appliances or coasters with quotes on.

What we really want is TIME.
TIME to ourselves. TIME to relax. TIME to switch off.

We want to HANDOVER THE MENTAL LOAD.
To not be the sole person mentally planning ALL the things that need to happen with the kids and the house. Like an actual whole day off.

We want to feel APPRECIATED AND VALUED
Not taken for granted.

We want to feel HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD

The way to make her day make is to do something that makes her feel unique, special and appreciated.

My fav ideas are in the comments.

Are you stressed out, confused or uncertain about what you’re meant to do with your business’s social media?

If you’ve ever spent hours browsing your competitor for ideas, struggled to edit a reel, wasted money on content templates you’ve never used again, or you’re posting just for the sake of it, you’re not alone.

For business owners, social media can feel like a massive burden. I know first-hand, because I’ve been there with my own business - before I developed the tried-and-true strategic approach that changed the game not just for me, but for each of my clients.

Hello! I’m Sam. I’m the founder of Seabird Socials, a small social agency based in Sydney. I specialise in social media strategy, management and ex*****on for small and medium businesses, working with owners and founders across Australia.

My work includes…

• Customised social media strategies grounded in a genuine understanding of your business goals

• Content creation and curation, including original design, sourcing, editing of graphics and videos, captions, hashtags and geotags

• Content scheduling

• Community engagement

• Monthly reporting and analytics

• Complete platform management

Social media is one burden you don’t need to shoulder. Let me lighten the load by managing your socials and delivering results that genuinely moves the needle toward your business’s goals.

The best part: my services are more affordable than you’d think, starting at just $749 a month.

DM me to learn more, or let’s jump on a complimentary 30-minute discovery call. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Hi I’m Sam, the founder of Seabird Socials.

I fell into the world of Social Media in 2020 when the great shut down forced me to pivot and take my side hustle aromatherapy business online. Unable to teach and practice in person, I had to change direction and upskill on all things social, fast!

What I didn’t expect during this time, was how deeply I’d fall in love with social media. It just lit me up and excited me. So I decided to retrain as Social Media Manager and spent the last 3 years studying every course I could get my hands on.

Last year I said farewell to the world of Corporate Banking after 25 years in the industry and decided to step out on my own. Brave or crazy I’m not sure!

And so Seabird Socials was born. A small
Social Media agency focused on helping small local businesses, creatives and entrepreneurs.

Small business is my where my heart is. Having run 3 small businesses myself I can confidently say that I get it. The multiple hats, the juggling, the never ending to do list. Never having enough time.

I get that social media can feel like a massive headache. Time intensive, draining, fraught with conflicting advice; the pressure is real. I used to feel that way too.

But you don’t have to struggle. Let me help make social media simple for you.

My promise to you, is to treat your business as if it’s my own. You’ll never be a number or offered a cookie cutter approach with us. We develop unique custom strategies for all our clients to deliver the results you need.

We’ll inject love, passion, technical know how and commitment into your socials so that you can get back to doing what you do best, running your business.

I am so grateful that I finally found a career that allows me to combine my creativity, strategic mindset and life long love of learning with helping people.

If we sound like a good fit, drop me a DM, I’d love to see how I can support you and make your socials shine. ✨

07/04/2023

Happy everyone! 🐣 Wishing all my lovely clients and followers a well deserved break. 🍫 Enjoy your time off and remember to take time to appreciate the little things. 😊😉

ps. Isn’t Easter egg chocolate just the best chocolate? What are you hoping the Easter bunny brings? I have my eye on a vegan Bunny.

“I raise up my voice -not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard...we cannot succeed when half of us are held back.

― Malala Yousafzai

Happy International Women's Day 2023 💪🏽😊

Every IWD, I find myself contemplating two distinctly different perspectives.

On one hand, as a female run small business, I love to acknowledge and celebrate all the amazing women in my life. Those that I work with, those that I support, those I get to call my friends and of course the amazing women in my own family. I am truly grateful for their wisdom, love, enduring support and sisterhood. Like boats on the tide, we really do rise together.

On the other hand, I find myself feeling really wound up and frustrated. Are we actually making any progress on gender equality? The UN Secretary General said that at current pace, gender equality isn’t expected to be achieved for another 300 years!!

We’ve been talking about women’s rights forever so why is there so little change still? And what will it actually take for us to reach true gender equality.
 Since becoming a parent, I’m surprised in my own tiny world- of the (unfair) expectations stacked on women, including the assumption that I’ll always be the one to take time off to support my unwell child, the super gap that I’ll never be able to catch up to (from taking a few years to be the stay at home one) and the fact that I can now borrow less money than my husband due to my career gap. And when I was in the Corporate world, I witnessed over and over again women being paid less than their male counterparts for the exact same roles- as get this - men are more confident to ask for the pay rise. (Cos that makes it ok right).

And this is just my white, extremely privileged, Australian view.

So when I see yet another morning tea (normally organised at a ridiculously early time that most working women can’t even get to) or another initiative run ‘by women for women’, another “champion” or another talk on resilience and stepping up to the table, I do feel like screaming at someone and smashing a cupcake in their face.

What we need is real systemic change. Not more f*cking cupcakes.

As the dawn of the New Year approaches, I wanted to say - it's ok if you didn't hit your goals this year. It's ok if you didn't even have any goals. And it's totally ok if the goals you had (like me) changed more times than Kim Kardashians wardrobe.

It's ok if in 2022 you didn't nail your social media, post everyday, find your signature font, have a viral reel, do a Tiktok dance, master transitions or grow your following in the thousands.

For most of us '22, was the year we survived not thrived. The year of so called re-emergence, getting used to being with real people in the new (no one knows what the actual rules are) post covid world. The year we wanted to stay home, turn our zoom cameras off (sorry my connection is really bad right now!!) and continue WFM in our active wear, despite our bosses wanting us to don suits and get back to the office (in the name of teamwork and bonding).

For us social media managers, it was the year where love it or hate it we had to embrace video (hello reels) and learn to love Tiktok (no matter our age). We learnt the importance (again) of having a solid strategy for our clients, and of how quickly you need to pivot in this industry to keep abreast of changes. It was also the year we all had a small heart attack everytimewe saw pop up in our feed (what else dude, what else).

So it's ok if you (like me) crawled to the finish line and are soo glad that the year that was 2022 is almost over. We made it!

It's ok if you haven't reflected, journalled or acknowledged your achievements. If you haven't saved all your photos in folders, made a memory book, decluttered your home or crossed things off your bucket list this year.

If all you did this year was show up for yourself and your family, worked a job/ran your business, put food on the table and got some sleep at night, then that IS enough.

So for those of you, like me, that don't have a plan for 2023, a vision board, a power word, or a shiny new journal (to never write in), I wanted to say that I got you friend.

And that there is time. 365 days of it in fact (2023 is not a leap year for anyone wondering). You must certainly don't need to have it all figured out by 1 Jan. (Plus my self says whats the fun in that, there's gotta be some last min pressure to actually get stuff done!)

Whatever you do or don't do* tonight have fun and be kind to yourself.

See you on the other side for more social media tips, advice and digital adventures.

Sam xoxo

ps. For those of you interested my NYE plans (with a 3yr old in tow) are less dancing the night away with Pete Tong in da club and more PJs, jacket potatoes and a good british drama on the sofa (assuming said 3 year old goes and stays asleep after we have read like a thousand books together ).

See you all in 2023 :)
