✨ Wow... what a session. 🤯

Some of the beautiful facilitators who made this experience so special.

I just experienced 9D Breathwork with The Hope Cartel, facilitated by Gaz Wright, the creator himself... and honestly, I'm still trying to find the words.

The induction was so caring, so in-depth, and so full of knowledge. Every minute prepared us for what was to come.

Then came the breathwork...

Nothing could have prepared me for what I experienced.

I went so deep that this incredible ache came out of me... an ache I didn't even know I was carrying. There were tears, screams, release... emotions I'd buried for years. It was raw, intense, confronting, and at the same time, absolutely beautiful.

The thing that stood out most wasn't just the breathwork—it was the people.

They don't just facilitate the session... they hold space for you. They sit beside you, hold your hand, guide you through the waves, and make you feel completely safe to surrender to the experience. Somehow, every single person feels seen, supported and cared for.

Something shifted in me.

I've never considered myself a hugger, but by the end of the session all I wanted to do was hug everyone. ❤️ It felt like a wall I'd built over many years had started to come down, and that alone made the experience priceless.

If you've ever been curious about 9D Breathwork, I can't recommend The Hope Cartel enough. This wasn't just breathwork... it was an experience I'll never forget.

And the best part? They're planning to move to the Gold Coast, so there'll be so many more opportunities to experience what they offer.

Thank you, Gaz, and the entire Hope Cartel team, for creating such a safe, beautiful space to let go, heal and reconnect.

I'm already looking forward to my next session.

Happy 58th Anniversary Mum & Dad! ❤️🥂

58 years married... who would've thought?! 😄

Happy Anniversary to Helen & Tony, who tied the knot on 20 July 1968 and are still going strong!

We had a lovely lunch yesterday at Tweed Heads Bowls Club with Mum, Dad, Tahlai and Jake to celebrate this incredible milestone.

Plenty of laughs, great food, and a wonderful afternoon together.

Now they're off enjoying a well-deserved anniversary, getaway. Have the best time, you've both earned it! ❤️

Love you both so much.

I started trying to fix my migraines... and accidentally changed my whole life.

One year between these photos.

I wasn't chasing weight loss.

I was chasing answers.

Migraines led me to keto. Keto led me to carnivore. Carnivore led me down the biggest rabbit hole of learning about metabolic health, inflammation and nutrition.

The weight loss?

Just a bonus.

The real wins have been...

✨ Less inflammation
✨ No more aching joints
✨ My rosacea disappeared
✨ Steady energy all day
✨ No afternoon crashes
✨ No constant hunger
✨ No food obsession

Most mornings are pretty simple...
☕ Black coffee 💪 Workout 🚗 Work 💧 Water all day.

Then I come home and eat a big meal of fatty meat, eggs, crispy chicken skin and homemade bone broth.

No calorie counting. No weighing food. No measuring. No guilt.
I eat until I'm completely full... then I don't think about food again until I'm actually hungry.

The best part?

I finally know what real satiety feels like.
I rarely even step on the scales anymore.

If anything... my clothes seem to keep getting bigger while I stay the same!
Am I perfect?

🤣 Definitely not.

I'm forever experimenting, and every now and then my body reminds me who's boss with a migraine or an upset tummy.

And yes... macadamia nuts are still my weakness.

This isn't about perfection.

It's about finding what works for your body.

For me, this way of eating has given me back my energy, my confidence, healthier skin, freedom from constant hunger, and a whole new appreciation for what feeling well actually feels like.

One year later...

I feel healthier at 52 than I have in decades.

And I'm only just getting started. ❤️

Changing the way I fuel my body changed my life. In so many ways.

I didn't start eating this way to lose weight. My goal was to reduce my migraines, improve my skin, and achieve better overall health.

Today, I eat a predominantly carnivore diet, keeping my carbohydrates extremely low, almost zero most days. Sugary and highly processed foods are on the odd occasion for me, simply because I feel so much better without them.

As my body became fat-adapted, something incredible happened.

I stopped thinking about food all day.

I no longer experience the constant hunger or energy crashes that carbohydrates would, like I use to. Most days I naturally eat just one meal a day, that came naturally over time, and that one meal keeps me satisfied for the next 24 hours. I work full days without needing snacks because my energy stays steady.

I don't count calories.

I don't weigh my food.

I don't track macros.

I simply eat until I'm comfortably full, and then I stop.

The weight loss was actually a bonus.

As my health improved on the inside, the outside seemed to take care of itself. I've now dropped around 13–14 kg without dieting for weight loss, and for the first time in years, my weight doesn't constantly fluctuate.

The biggest difference, though, is how I feel.

On the rare occasion I eat carbohydrates or sugary foods, I notice it almost immediately. My energy changes, I don't feel as good, and for me it can even trigger a migraine. That tells me everything I need to know about what works best for my body.

I've spent a lot of time reading about the human biology and metabolic health, I've found this way of eating that has completely transformed my life.

This isn't about deprivation.

It's about eating real food, feeling satisfied, having stable energy, and finally feeling healthy.

This is my journey, my experience, and I honestly wouldn't go back. I can't unknow what I know now. It's a bloody game changer from what I thought I knew.
