25.01.2022 Today is RUOK Day and I think in theory its a wonderful initiative. It encourages conversation about a taboo topic - mental health. It reminds us to check in on those we care about. And it spreads awareness throughout the community. But does it help those who are hurting the most? I dont know ... The times Ive been at my darkest, or even when Im frustrated and feeling stuck, when people ask if Im ok I not only LIE about it but I feel like the question is poking my wound and reminding me Im broken. Because I personally feel like it comes with expectation to say Yes Im good thanks And maybe its just me but I wanted to remind you too that sometimes its ok not to be ok. But if youre not ok than please speak to someone about it. It can be you GP, a friend, your partner or one of the many help lines available - but speak to someone and tell them I am not ok And please ALWAYS feel free to DM me if you need someone to share it with xo

25.01.2022 #blackfridayoffer Join Rare Seed's Summer School and save 25% of the price! Business is full of learnings, un-learnings, and a fair amount of trial and error - but in this 4 week, interactive program, I will share with you the 4 fundamental elements for building a profitable and successful business in 2021. INCLUDING how to make sure your business fits you and your lifestyle so it is not only fun but sustainable in the long term!... Summer School is for you if: You know a thing or two about business, but you still feel a bit scattered about what to prioritise. You're ready to scale your business, but can't imagine what that looks like on a practical level because you already feel so busy. You LOVE the work you do, the impact your business has on the world and some of your clients, but you're not loving your business right now - it feels harder and heavier than it should. You have tried planning before and it never felt like you actually followed it or implemented it in the actual day-to-day of business.

24.01.2022 Self care - the term makes me want to barf a bit. Its so over used and personally I often feel like its another thing on my to-do list that I just never quiet get to! But Im learning (slowly) the importance of nourishing and nurturing myself. Im learning (very slowly) to put myself first some of the time SO I can show up better for my business and my family.... Im learning to TRUST that I can treat myself with love and compassion and still get all the things done and taken care of. Im a recovering workaholic so this is NOT EASY. But nothing worth having ever is right. How do you really take care of yourself?

23.01.2022 Theres no RULE to what self care has to look like. Yes its going for a walk, doing some yoga, meditating or making a smoothie but it can also be allowing yourself the GUILT FREE pleasure of veggie out in front of some @showtimefabfive on @netflix! After a fairly sleepless night thats what my Tuesday morning self care looked like.... Im hard at work now but grateful I took some time to relax and chill once the kids left for the day. My current self care plan involves eating better, less coffee, more naps, asking for help, early nights, taking walks and taking baths. Dont let anyone else tell you what your self care should look like just make sure you are treating yourself like your very best friend!!

22.01.2022 Got an upcoming LAUNCH that's making you feel queasy? If you always feel like the to-do list for you launch is only ever 25% done, or you find you are doing lots of work but not getting anywhere, if you WISH you had systems in place that saved time and doubling up on work you did last time? Then maybe (just maybe) you need some Launch Management support! The fiddly jobs take for-ev-er, forgetting things is stressful, working late and generally winging it is exhausting - makin...g it even harder to show up, be live, be visible. All of this tends to result in an emotional and flat launch. My team and I have all the tools, templates and procedures you need to create the space and time for your goals. We will treat your launch as our top priority, ensuring that it gets the space and love it requires, no matter how busy you get with life or other things. We only take on 2 Launch Clients a month so we fully booked for August and September - so if you are planning a launch for the last quarter of 2020 and would like some support to run it hit me up and I'll DM you a link to book a free chat.

21.01.2022 Last night I was having zoom drinks with a dear friend @ryett_healthy_habits and we were laughing about the shit-show that has been 2020. We were talking about the letting go of plans that have come to fruition, goals that night dropped back in April, and the grief that comes along with that. We spoke about how to move forward, how to not get stuck in the disappointment or use any of these situations to prove to ourselves we arent worthy of what we set out to achieve.... And what we ultimately got to was this. Before we uplevel, because we reach goals we never though possible, before we become better versions of ourselves - we need to go through the messy, uncomfortable chaos. We cant clean our house properly without it getting worse first and I believe 2020 has been that process for so many. There might be more messy, uncomfortable chaos to come yet but I want to remind you to focus on what will on the other side of that! You got this! You deserve this! You just might need to get through the messy bit first ... xo

21.01.2022 Hi there, Im Elle and I thought Id share three things with you today that you probably dont know about me. 1 most of my adult life Ive cut my own hair. Not always but 90% of the time. I think it started when we lived on collage for uni and would cut each others hair, then I was a broke single mum so I just gave it a shot and Ive always been pretty happy with the results. (See pic for this mornings cranky mode inspired trim!) 2 I love sewing! And crochet! I dont do ...much these days between business and kids and all the things life is throwing at us. But I did make some pirate costumes last week so I know I havent forgotten how and Im keen to get back to it more! 3 I have a tattoo on my left arm (and one on my right foot). The one on my arm says Joie de Vivre which is a French saying that literally translates to Joy of Life but its meant to mean more of a mantra to find joy in all things, live life to it fullest and most joyful possibilities and to be a joy in your life - well thats how I understand it anyway. Id love to know more about you too! This post was inspired by Sian Yewdall and her suggestion to share more of yourself on your feed! Something Ive believed in for a long time. Visual description: women with short hair and fringe, with a teal and black tattoo on her left arm just above the elbow. standing in front of a desk and large window out to a swing set. The desk is messy and covered in books and pens and an overlocker machine.

20.01.2022 #Monday Let's do this! #butfirstcoffee xox When you ask for a photoshot and the photographer GETS YOU so well she sends you this video a few days later.... I do love my coffee, but more than even the drink itself I LOVE the ritual around making it, the smell of the grinds and min or two I take all to myself as I enjoy at least the first few mouthfuls each morning.

19.01.2022 My office assistant Ed. He is a jumper and he loves to dig (deep) holes in the garden and yard But he is a sweetie and I love his company through the day while I work. ... Do you have a pet? Are they around while you work?

18.01.2022 And just like that primary school is finished and it is off on the next adventure for this kid. Like many women do, I started my business while in the throws of nappies and breastfeeding. Suddenly the life I had been building for myself didn’t work anymore. And I was too tired to pretend to care about stuff I didn’t value. My first attempt at a business was born when this guy was only 6 months old! Things have changed a lot since then - I started out making kids clothes, quil...ts and toys - but parenting has taught me so much about running a business, and running a business has taught me a lot about being a parent. Both experiences have mostly taught me about myself! Being back in the toddler years means I’m tired AF but seriously so grateful for the gift of raising three amazing, strong-willed kids and equally grateful for how much they are each teaching and raising me!

18.01.2022 Hi I’m Elle and I run two successful businesses, raise three kids and two dogs and am also studying two accredited programs at the moment. I also hide in car so I don’t have to say goodbye to my three olds twice in one morning, regularly forgot to order my eldest son’s tuck shop and still call my mum for advice almost daily! I’m kicking goals and unleveling, I’m also crying over baskets of dirty laundry and have no idea what any of my kids are getting for Christmas.... I’m 100% ok with all of that too because it’s life, it’s adulting and it’s all ME!

17.01.2022 Argh 2020 ... its the gift that keeps on giving. Ive been saying for months, this year just feels like the year you can not hide from yourself. With lockdowns, pandemics, protests and natural disasters we are all being forced to look at our lives, our selves and our values.... Its been a tough year. For my businesses every week is a struggle to stay open. Maybe families have had to make things work without jobs or without partners able to come home for months. Many people Ive spoken to have suffered personal tragedies as well. The simple shift of juggling kids and partners being home all the time puts our relationships to the test! Ive had ups and downs all year but this last month has broken me. There have been days I thought to just give up. But I am not. I will not be beaten. Even by 2020. So Im taking the time I need to rest, recover and reset. Im making the changes I need to stay true to myself and my values. And Im coming back, more ready and more determined than ever to fulfil my dreams. Heres to 2020 and all its deep, rich and powerful lessons. Heres to be broken and coming back better than before. Heres to allowing the space to heal without conceding defeat. #brokennotbeaten

15.01.2022 We are on the look out for the next perfect fit to join our team! Main tasks will include general VA work and social media management. You’ll be helping us schedule killer content for our clients, build automation in Active Campaign, add content to websites and more.... An interest in digital marketing and business strategy is ideal. We are looking for someone who will grow with the team and take on more responsibility as they learn. *skills in Canva a definite advantage! To apply hit the link in our bio @rareseedagency

15.01.2022 The confidence and sass of a three year old (while exhausting - especially with 2 in the house) is inspiring! This little lady knows what she wants, shes not afraid to ask for it (read demand it) and she is unedited about who she is and how she feels! So while Im busy teaching her to regulate her emotions and ask for things without stomping her foot - Im also letting her teach me to ask for things more often (and maybe a little more forcefully) and Im hoping some of her... confidence rubs off on me! Kids teach us WAY more than we teach them and with three kids who are all very strong willed with big personality (and voices) I am not always a willing student but I am so grateful to be their mum and to be learning from them every day.

15.01.2022 Actually I can. Even when Im tired, Even when I dont know exactly how, Even when I am scared.... Actually I can. Even while Im juggling a family, Even while Im finding a new path, Even while Im feeling unsure. Actually I can! Even in 2020, Even in if its slower than intended, Even if I make mistakes along the way. Actually I can! And you can to!

14.01.2022 Its definitely tidy up the desk and resort the notes day here at Rare Sed HQ! I listen better (and retain information better) if I take notes with pen and paper. But a desk like this equals #overwhelm and #anxiety for me. So Im sorting through and uploading key details to @asana boards, throwing out anything g thats already actioned and given myself a clear task list to fully clear the decks by tomorrow arvo. What do you need to make sure youre working at your best? For me its a clean working area with lots of empty space!

14.01.2022 This guy! Ed is a rescue pup. We think he is part Jack Russell, part Kelpie but we dont really know. Its a sweet little size without being tiny. He is good with the kids and has a lovely nature. ... I love having animals in my life and I feel its really important for kids too. Feel lucky to have this guy

13.01.2022 Its been almost two months since I had a full five day work week, needless to say Im feeling a little behind. Its all well and good to rest when you need it, listen to your body and take it slow when you need to heal (or grieve). But what about when you come back to work and the todo list is longer than your arm, the inbox is a shit show and you instantly feel overwhelmed! ... Well thats when you need to work just how you always need to work. One take at a time. Plan your priorities. Be realistic about what you can do in a day. And remember to BREATHE! You can not be productive from a place of PANIC. Yesterday I wrote a LONG LIST of all the things I need to accomplish this week. Crossed out anything I can hold to next week. Ordered them in priority, high to low. And set a plan for the week ahead. Today instead of pushing myself to work from 4am I ate with the kids, walked the dog and showered, now Im ready to tackle the list from the best place possible. Will it be a big week? YES. Am I willing to make myself sick over it? Nope. The best way to work, no matter how busy you are is simple, one task at a time! May your week be delightfully productive. (And may I mange to get in five full work days!)

12.01.2022 And just like that Saturday Soccer is back. Thinking of all the Victorians whose Saturdays look very different. My excited goalie has found life without soccer a tough one to take but hes done well at keeping up his training and finding other ways to keep himself busy.... He is one happy kid today to be back on the field with his mates.

10.01.2022 If youre not in the area, also getting your ass kicked - Im not interested in your feedback Brene Brown I mean it say it all really doesnt it.

08.01.2022 Ive been working for myself for almost 11 years and I love it now more than ever. Today I want to share with you were it began.

07.01.2022 Its been quiet around here if late. Ive had some unexpected days off and some planned downtime. But today its back in full swing of things and planning catch up on a few fun and exciting projects. 2020 has not gone to plan (as you well know) and Im feeling the heaviness of it at the moment BUT Im determined to not let it beat me but rather keep taking step forward - even if they are (much) smaller than intended!! ... What steps are you taking to reach your goals? Even the smallest ones count!!

07.01.2022 Wearing yellow makes me feel GOOD! This is meant to be my week off yet so far today Ive spent about 6 hours at the computer. But Im loving it because:... Im not committed to be here at certain times. Today the kids are all busy with friends etc so working has been easy. Im working on projects in super passionate about and with clients I LOVE! Im also working ON my business and my plans forward not just the busy work. One of the things Im working on it how to make all of my weeks feel more like this! Freedom and flexibility matter to me (almost as much as the colour yellow) and when I have more of them I do better work! What elements do you need present in your work that help you THRIVE!?

06.01.2022 Fear thrives on in-action and indecision. So if you are feeling fearful I want to encourage you to show up and take even the smallest action. Or write down some goals and make a decision about how you can work towards them. ... It wont make the fear go away but it will loosen its grip on you, so you can one more inspired action and make one more brave decision. I dont actually believe we EVER get to a point of fearlessness but we instead learn how to be brave and courageous and move forward despite our fear. I still love this quote though because if there was ever a thing to be BRAVE for - it should be that thing that sets your soul on fire! Take one action. Make one decision. Even if its the wrong one its better than sitting still. You got this! And your dreams are worth it!

06.01.2022 Working on the weekend can be a trap for business owners. It can be hard to learn how to switch off. When your mind is always racing with ideas and endless to do lists. Yet, working on the weekend can also be a powerful gift of self care. It can allow you space to plan and think big, or simply get on top of the week ahead.... I always feel like Im cheating a bit when I get a chunk of weekend-work-time. The key is INTENTION. Knowing what you need and giving it to yourself the best you can. We cant work all the time, we burn out and lose our creativity faster than a 3yr old throws a tantrum about their bread being cut the wrong way. But if working a little extra feels GOOD, expansive and exciting then allow that to be ok too. There are no rules. So drop the guilt and you do you. Do business your way. Are you weekend worker?

06.01.2022 Reworking the @artfulbizevents branding today. Not really changing anything, but refining it and setting up some exciting templates for their social media and their upcoming LAUNCH! Love the bright rainbow of colour! Its making me smile. What are you working on today!?

05.01.2022 Know it or not, believe it or not, you are an inspiration! By showing up, by trying, by being you and sharing you - you are inspiring others to do the same. Keep going, there are people watching and believing in them self a little bit more each day because they are seeing you take action towards your dreams! ... You are an inspiration!

05.01.2022 A day in the life of Online Business Management. I spend all day talking to myself (because copy must be read out loud), I love my headphones and at the moment they are usually playing Hamilton, my blue light glasses are the BOMB. And when I feel in a funk I go to one of a few favourite essential oils. My @doterraaunz InTune roller is probably top of the list during a work day.... This week Im ... writing sales copy for socials and emails writing copy and creating graphics for Facebook ads mapping out a new strategy for two new clients prepping to onboard a new social media client next week working on email automations project planning a membership site build taking training with @shannon_thethrivefactor and @thedigitalpicnic writing some content for my upcoming course (stay tuned) and keeping three humans and a dog alive. What are you working on!?

03.01.2022 The ocean is my happy place. I fact I have learnt in recent years anywhere that feels BIG is my happy place. Nothing beats the salt and the sand and fresh sea air, but Im also as happy out in the big sky country of rural Queensland or in the mountains with the trees and rivers. One of my #thrivefactor archetypes is Liberator Engineer and they NEED freedom to function at their best. This is SO TRUE for me and one of the core ways I feel free is to be in spaces that feel BIG!... Im currently studying with @shannon_thethrivefactor so that I too can be a #trivefactor profiler and I can not wait to share this goodness with my clients! Its personality test meets coming home to yourself meets the best marketing plan youve ever had! Is freedom a value that matters to you? If so how do you feel free!?

03.01.2022 SAVE FOR LATER Do you know almost every-time a client tells me "I don't know what to post about, I have nothing to say." They are talking total BS. What they really mean to say is "I don't know where to START, because I'm so passionate about the work I do and taking my message to the word I have SO MUCH to say and I want to say it all at once!"... So here's my Friday afternoon social media tip. Book an hour in your diary (like actually schedule it in - go now - I'll wait). It can be over the weekend or sometime next week. But commit to a time you can really spend on this activity. Now that's that's booked in here's what you are going to do in that hour. Set the clock for 10min each time and just free write the answers to these questions (yep 10 x 5 is 50 but I'm making it achievable for you ). 1. If I was having coffee (or wine) with my ideal client (real or imaginary) what would I just CHAT to her about? 2. If I had to talk about ONE TOPIC for the rest of 2020 and wasn't allowed to deviate, what would it be and why? 3. Ok so I've been granted TWO MORE topics, what would they be and why? 4. What is the change I want to see in the world? 5. How does my business help me to create that change? Once you answered all these questions you'll have some talking points to start mapping out a plan for your social media that is helping you share ALL THE THINGS you have to say - even if you feel like you have nothing to say at all. Pop back in the comments and let me know how you go with this and if you find it helpful!

03.01.2022 2020 has been a dozy alright. Not just for my family but for just about everyone I know. Some businesses are thriving, others are finding it hard to stay afloat. Some families are loving the slower pace, others are really hurting without the events, services and support they are to getting (including school and childcare).... There is no right or wrong way to deal with whatever this year has handed you. You have to find your own way through the good and the bad. Here are three things that helping me navigate 2020 and make the most of it. More rest and self-care than ever before. More than Im comfortable with. Sometimes its hard (or feels hard) to slow down but this year has forced that lesson on me in a big way! Sending messages and making phone calls to people I love and who lift my spirits on the regular! Im not a love of phone chats, Id rather just catch up over a bottle of wine but 2020 has meant travel is hard so making a bigger effort to connect with people other ways has kept me sane. Finding gratitude and joy in the simple things. This has been an intentional practice for years but 2020 has meant I had to up my game here in order to stay positive and focused on all the good stuff! One example of this is knowing what brings joy and allowing yourself to have it. Weve had to make some big, tough financial decisions this year but I still by fresh flowers every week or two because the JOY they bring make the financial investment a no brainer! What are you doing to keep on the right path and in the right head space right now? Id love to know xo
