What is bleisure?

January 20, 2025January 20, 2025

Travel The World, Make Money, And Live A Life You Love Now…

Sometimes what we really need isn’t another trip

Sometimes what we really need isn’t another trip.

It’s a moment of spaciousness. Of stillness. Of clarity.

At the Bleisure Life Retreat in Kangaroo Valley, NSW, we’re creating space.

Space for nature, for laughter, for deep work, for reconnection with yourself.

We combine support (workshops, planning, coaching), with joy (nature walks, quiet mornings, soul food) and connection (a small group of women doing real work on real lives).

You'll learn how to harmonise your work and wealth, travel and leisure, and plan in self care to live a life you love, now.

Living that mermaid 🧜‍♀️ life

We got a new car!

And yes, I chose it entirely based on the spectacular colour.

I thought me next car would be a unicorn rainbow 🦄🌈 wrap on a different model.

But when I saw this, I knew she was perfect for our family.

The mermaid/ merman 🧜🏻 theme runs strong in our family with a deep love of all things water and ocean 🌊

so calling in more of that life by driving around in its glorious blue everyday 🩵

This is a dream.

Life is about having fun! And every time I’m looking at this car, I’m going to be smiling and having a giggle - I actually got a mermaid car!

And so beautiful to share it with our boy this time. The last car we picked up, he was in my belly 🥰🥹

One of my favourite things in the world is bringing events to life.
Standing on stage, holding space, keeping things flowing, and helping people feel seen, connected, and inspired.

This year already includes international conferences, panels, masterclasses, and some beautiful community-driven events. And it’s only the beginning.

If you’re creating an event in 2026 and want someone who can adapt to any curveball, keep the room engaged, and make your speakers shine, I’d love to work together.

Comment MC here and we’ll set up a time to connect.

There is something powerful that happens when you

There is something powerful that happens when you finally step out of the noise.

When your shoulders drop.
When your breath deepens.
When the world slows enough for you to hear yourself again.

That is what this retreat offers.
A true reset.
A place where your nervous system can soften, your mind can clear and your energy can return to you.

At Barranca, the valley holds you.
The escarpment rises around you.
The quiet does its work.
And you begin to remember what it feels like to be spacious, creative and genuinely rested.

This is the pause that changes things.
The moment that brings you back to yourself.
And with only a handful of places left, this opportunity will not stay open for long.

Your invitation awaits.

PAUSE. This memory just popped up from last year,

PAUSE.

This memory just popped up from last year, one of my truest highlights of 2025, and the message is just as relevant today.

Please pause, anytime - anytime you need.
Take a pause for one moment and read this.

True Presence.

This was the key lesson I took away from @elizabeth_gilbert_writer on Thursday night at Brisbane Town Hall during her exquisite lecture.

I didn’t know what to expect but I know whenever I read Liz’s words or listen to them, I feel as if she’s speaking directly to me and it’s a balm for the soul.

I’d been feeling wobbly this week. Literally rocky as I’d got off a cruise ship on Monday. But the feeling wouldn’t pass. I then started to feel a bit anxious. And
On Wednesday night I had restless legs. My whole body wanted to move but I felt so tired. It was strange. I was worried I wouldn’t even be able to sit still in the lecture.

But it was the calm I needed.

It was the reminder to be present; even in discomfort. This too shall pass. And sitting observing, being with the uncomfortable is the only way to move through.

Liz also shared a fabulous acronym for when you are not present and when you slip into strategising. Which I definitely had been as I tried to quickly move away from the feelings in my body.

PAUSE
P - pause
A - action
U - until
S - serenity
E - enters

I didn’t take notes during the talk because I wanted to be present and Liz asked that of us, to not be with our phones. But this one - I made myself remember clearly

Pause.
When everything seems too much and you want to rush into action. To fix. To get better.
Pause.

I’ll carry this talk with me for a long long time.

Of course I also had another book highlight when I got to have a hug with Liz, give her my book & tell her what her book Big Magic 💫 has meant to me over the years.

I also got to share all of it with a dear friend who I knew would love and appreciate it all as much as I did.

Here’s to creative living.

Now pause, and soak in this beautiful world 🌎 we’re privileged to share in.
