25.01.2022 I LOVE this show and this rings so true or anyone who doesnt understand other people Drop your ego and you can be human. In our humanity we can allow others to be all that they are. Even if we dont understand or agree. Live life not by absolutes.

25.01.2022 So what happened when I lost my job because of Sept 11 and we had a mortgage and no tenants in our property?

24.01.2022 Let us be more understanding

24.01.2022 OMG this is pure GOLD. Im certain this is a game changer. Now wheres the App

23.01.2022 Anyone else or just me? I had an epiphany this morning as I ran into someone Id met at our Business Networking conference we just did with Kerwin Rae and our K2 Elite community. They had been on my table which in my mind meant Im meant to help them there is always a reason were together, Ive got to find out how to help . Ive realise this morning that they are also there to help me somehow. Its to me to find out how.... totally missed The Signs... then ...this 90s classic from Ace of Base popped into my head. Brains are funny things I, I got a new life, you would hardly recognize me, I'm so glad How can a person like me care for you? I, why do I bother, when you're not the one for me? Oo-hoo-hoo-oo-oo Is enough enough? I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign Life is demanding without understanding I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong But where do you belong? I, under the pale moon, for so many years I wondered who you are How could a person like you bring me joy? Under the pale moon, where I see a lot of stars Oo-hoo-hoo-oo-oo Is enough enough? I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign Life is demanding without understanding I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong But where do you belong? I saw the sign and it opened up my mind And I am happy now living without you I've left you Oh, oh-oh-oh I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong I saw the sign (I saw the sign, I saw the si-ee-i-ee-ign) (I saw the sign, I saw the sign) I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign Source: LyricFind Songwriters: - Buddha / - Joker / Jenny Berggren / Malin Berggren The Sign lyrics Warner Chappell Music, Inc https://youtu.be/iqu132vTl5Y

23.01.2022 I remember my mum giving me Noel Whittakers book with the $20 note on the cover when I got my first job. Check-out-chick Action Food Barns 1986. It was a good start at understanding the basics as a 15 year old with no idea about money and how it worked. That said, despite its explanations, I never saved and got into the compounding interest thing, even though in black and white it showed how much money I could have in the long run. It didnt seem real and I always had time, ...Continue reading

23.01.2022 Just a little bit of technology to now run our business lives. No Saturday rowing or ballet so I’m avoiding weeding the garden by sorting Facts from Fear for our team, clients and family with Jason #workfromhome #positiverealestate

21.01.2022 As we had our final meeting at my sons school last week before he journeys to his new one, my parting answer of what I thought would help all teachers and children at the beginning of their educational journey was to learn to regulate. Learn to breathe. Its something they get to have with them always. Its always there to call on. In business leadership we use it all the time, shit happens. Breathe. Be calm. Now what. Meditation is an extension of that so why not?

21.01.2022 Holding it together has really been what I have been doing since we took this photo three months ago. This was our new school uniform that we are starting today. A term at home to reset, recuperate, detox from medication and start again. I was surprised by the tears when they came as I didnt realise how much I have been waiting for this day and how much I am wanting this new fresh start to work for him and us.

21.01.2022 When did you first understand getting a loan? Mine was back in the 80s when I was a young kid and my parents borrowed money from my grandparents to buy their first property. You see interest rates were 17-18% and with their money traditional jobs of actress and student who worked at the Ascott Races on the horse barriers no one would lend them any money but they could make the repayments. So they did.... To my grand parents. It wasnt till years later that I understood this as Jason and I went for our first home loan as to what this really meant. What was your first experience of trying to loan money? Stand by for part two of my three part series on my understanding lending journey.

18.01.2022 Im steeling moments and deciding to make them count trying to will myself into the atmosphere where breathing isnt an effort. Who else is doing this?

16.01.2022 Great lady. Great advice.

16.01.2022 Such a complex issue thats escalating. Pressures mounting on students, teachers, schools, families and the community. What are the answers?

16.01.2022 Thanks Ange Fould Cook for the link. Super interesting. Adding to the conversation already happening about a combined approach.

16.01.2022 Are you good at letting others take the lead? What about letting others help others in your team teach them a new skill? Im sitting in the back seat while Callum 16 is driving to Byron and Jason is instructing and guiding. His style is different to mine for teaching Callum. Callums behaviors with his Dad teaching him are different. Between the two of us he will get a variety of skills and experience. My job on this ride? Supporting the apprehensive siblings along for the rid...e. Unsure if this new driver is safe, to be trusted, able to do the job. This trip is so much like building other leaders in your teams. Where are you letting others drive? Where are you creating opportunities for others to teach them? #leadership #sisterleaders #learning #mums #parenting

15.01.2022 "When teenager burnout occurs the child doesnt want to go to school, do their homework or listen to their parents. This is often seen as defiance. These children are often pushed to keep achieving and this can eventually lead to anxiety and depression. If only we listened to our youth and let them rest, then they could rebalance, rebuild and recover and get back to their normal life." How was your first week of Year 11 if your school starts this term? How about your other l...ittle and small big people finishing off for the year? How about you? "Mum I love year 11. It doesn't even feel like school. I love my teachers for Maths and English which you know aren't my favourite subjects and I am loving Art, Sport and Business. So glad I dropped Chemistry." And so am I. Glad for the helpful books and advice of people like Maggie Dent Dr Vanessa Lapointe, R Psych and the team at Kids Development Centre. As our first week of year 11 was magic. One child down and two to go!

15.01.2022 This looks super cool, especially with holidays on the way!

15.01.2022 Brené Brown with our team learning about daring leadership. Interesting the difference between Shame and Guilt and how these behaviors show up in cultures, family and life.

11.01.2022 The Way of the Warrior Kid audio book has been great for Jake. He has started walking around the block and we can say what would a Warrior kid do?. Structure towards own goals. He can relate as the boy is 10. Plus the cool Uncles name is Jake. Thanks Kerwin for brining Joko into K2 for leadership lessons in business, as otherwise I wouldnt know about Joko, as hes not on my radar as a woman business owner. Powerful

09.01.2022 Love these two ladies! Bianca and Kristz so awesome what you are doing for all young women #sisterleaders

08.01.2022 I mean ... the struggles are real, and constant with all kids. With kids on the spectrum the reactions are more extreme, constant and seemingly never ending but its moments like these where I have to laugh because if you dont .... well it all seems way to serious some days

08.01.2022 When your first loan for a home turns out to be for a House Boat things can get interesting. It was cheaper to live in a house boat in Sydney than to rent and we didnt have the deposit for a house. But we could get the personal loan to buy it without Jasons Mum and Dad going guarantor on the loan. Lucky for us we made a $10k profit and used this money as a deposit on our first investment property purchase.... What crazy ideas have you had and done to get into the property market? #windy #sunglassesheadband #positiverealestate

08.01.2022 True that... bracing for week two

07.01.2022 Jason and my first investment property was definitely a learning curve. I remember asking the agent how much they thought we should offer thinking they would help us. Working out how much we could lend was a lesson in jargon and stress. What was 0.3 servicing anyway?... Well we chose the property with the kitchen and thought only of a place to stay on weekends out of Sydney so we could hang with friends and Jason would go Rick climbing. We made some pretty stupid rookie errors as we had no one to ask who could help us. What was your first property purchase like? #ihatemosquitoes #investmemtproperty

06.01.2022 I do really love my friend Kat Barlow and her crystal clear explanation of what we all need to do.

05.01.2022 For me its context and in these moments. We the voyeur have none. Example, looking in last night as my 9 year old son and I flew in business class back from Cairns. Without context, you would have seen a slightly chubby, Bose Headphone wearing iPad toting kid in a Dragon Ball gaming shirt having a tantrum about his sore ears and yelling at me that it was my fault. I dont need to tell you what people would have thought around us. ...Continue reading

04.01.2022 Listening to this. Love Demartinis perspective on how to create a state of centered unbias so we can see all sides of pain and pleasure in all things. So many light bulbs

04.01.2022 Dear Kids who egged our fence on Halloween, I know you think this is funny. I know we also all live here as we like a bit of space and many have free range kids approach. This is why I love living here....Continue reading

04.01.2022 This is so true for me. Undergraduate degree in Microbiology and Molecular Biology . Never worked in the field. However I use the thinking processes I learnt I use for Business, leading teams and IT, Operations and Marketing all the time. My full circle moment though is now having a son with Aspergers, NDL and ADHD where being able to read texts with scientific jargon and concepts is a big bonus, as its not overwhelming.... PS I also use Algebra thinking to work out what I dont know from the information I have at hand all the time Whats your qualification or skill that seems like this too?

03.01.2022 I have so much to say about this video.... but here are my take aways, we often behave the worst with the people we care with the most as we feel safe and let our guards down. I especially see this with my little ASD person. We get his worst. Others his best. I also see myself as a leader too, letting my frustration come out this way too, as I feel super safe with my team. The question I have for myself though is are they okay to say its not okay, if its not okay? I actually don't know. So best I go and ask.

03.01.2022 Definitely going to add this to my podcast rotation!

03.01.2022 For this lady is the gold standard. Especially when you have people seeing ASD and ADHD behaviours in your child in public as things to be punished and lack of discipline so therefore bad parenting. I was one of those people when I didnt understand what was going on. As I reflect on this now I think it spoke more about me and my feelings of being judged and not fitting in than it did about what has best for Jake. Discipline = Boundries + Consequence ... Punishment = Abuse

03.01.2022 Renovating. This Internatioanl Womens Day Id like credit my Mum and Nan for fueling this gene in me. I was dragged around Rosss Salvage and WA Salvage yards as a kid so many times I apparently knew how to spot a good bit of pine underneath some old peeling paint. God forbid they decided to take a trip to Bunnings.... that was the ultimate in boring back in the mid 1970s. Not a kids playground insight. Flash forwards 40 odd years and now my husband Jason Whitton and I co...nsider a trip to Bunnings almost like an exicting date! Who fueled your love of renovating if that is your property gig? #positiverealestate #internationalwomensday

02.01.2022 Whats your first memory of being interested in real estate or houses ? Mine was drawing a picture the back of my Nans house in Mount Lawley, Western Australia. I was sick and sitting in the back yard while Nan put the laundry on the good old Hills Hoist washing line. I was driving her bonkers as I was bored. I am not sure what inspired me. Why didnt I draw the garden? A ? Or even some animals? She had chickens and a cat ?... I was musing that perhaps it was a family friend who was an architect, Ian McDonald, whose house renovation of a weatherboard cottage in Subiaco where mind blowing. If it wasnt that, perhaps the purple and yellow stained glass windows we got from the demolition yard. They were super cool. If you have a passion for property too. Id love to hear your first memory of where your passion started below. #positiverealestate #internationalwomensday
