25.01.2022 HELLO! // I am away in Brisbane at the moment to celebrate a few things; the birthdays of my younger brothers AND my Mama who was just told last week that her chemotherapy & radiation treatment is finished and her body is FREE of cancer It’s been a BIG year of holding space from afar - I was travelling down regularly last year while she began her treatment, but COVID made that difficult to continue. So! My first time back in the South - and as if the Universe knew wh...at it was doing all along, the timing has been perfect [remission celebration, birthdays, school holidays, just after a workshop, etc etc etc]. I’m still floating around online and answering enquires, but apologies if I’m a little slower than usual. I have many a spring roll to eat and many a Brisbane CBD/ West End/ Fortitude Valley cute cafe coffee to drink And! October tickets are still available! I would suggest getting in quick[er!] if you’re interested, as spaces fill out quickly. Link is in comments below

25.01.2022 BE FREE, BE A WILDFLOWER // I’ll let the photos speak for themselves! Swipe across for a glimpse of the amazing works of art the Yaya Sisterhood girls created yesterday! Hugest [beyond words!] gratitude to Ash Fazel; friend & fellow lover of #collaborationovercompetition - she’s amazing! Having Ash in the space with us was so inspiring for not only all the girls, but for myself also. Ash spoke of her journey with art; how she *almost* chose a different path because ‘art w...ould never pay the bills!’ and followed on to share how important following your passions are while imparting the gift that ‘there are no mistakes in creativity!’. Thank you Art by Ash Fazel - for all that you are and all that you bring to the space [and my life!]. ....and how AMAZING are all these pieces! Tickets are selling next months circle! Event details for OCTOBER in comments below x

25.01.2022 . CELEBRATE // The values of Yaya Sisterhood: SEEN, HEARD, HELD & CELEBRATED. And the gorgeous Rowena from Brand You Magazine has made me feel all four of those values this morning.... I was a guest on her Brand You podcast and have an article spread in the inaugural issue of the Brand You magazine where I got to talk and ramble on about the Yaya Sisterhood; this was her gift to say thank you. I shared a little ramble on my personal Instagram about what this gesture meant to me; but to simplify it, I would say - if you’re not feeling those four values when you’re with the people you spend time with [in business, professionally, personally] - then, please - find new people ...you are WORTHY of being seen, being heard, being held and most of all - being celebrated. You can listen to the interview here https://podcasts.bcast.fm/e/183yzr08 You can subscribe to the magazine here https://www.subscribepage.com/by-general This issue features some other INCREDIBLE women; I HIGHLY recommend following Brand You Magazine if connecting, collaborating and celebrating with other women & women in business is you thing.

19.01.2022 GRADUATED! // So grateful I followed the pull and the stars aligned so I could partake in this amazing course. The training took part during some pretty busy weeks of my 2020; Brisbane trips, birthdays, workshops! Such a FULL time of my life; but I never wavered from wanting to fully immerse & devote myself from learning something new that would add another layer of information I could integrate into my work with the Yaya Sisterhood. If you’re curious as to what a First M...oon Circle is, and if it’s something you’d want to participate in with your daughter/s or perhaps you’re feeling the call to become a FMC facilitator yourself - follow along here on Instagram: @first_moon_circles And if you like what you see there, you’d probably really like the amazing woman behind it all: Charlotte Pointeaux [who also holds regular online and IRL circles, course training, mentoring and coaching]. Happy Wednesday! I’ll be getting a frame for this beauty today! So proud!

18.01.2022 VALUES // Every time I am asked to share my number ONE value for Yaya Sisterhood - I answer "CONNECTION". While we may have some BIG workshops with some EXCITING crafts & activities - at the crux, essence and core of what takes place each time we sit in circle - is the beauty of us gathering to CONNECT. Tomorrow we gather! I am finalising all the little details today - so exciting!... I am really looking forward to hosting the Yaya Sisterhood "Be Free, Be A Wildflower" workshop with Art by Ash Fazel and witnessing the girls bring their artistic creations to life! Kim x ---------- Tomorrows workshop is SOLD OUT. But! Tickets and the Facebook event for OCTOBER have JUST been released and you can find the details here Yaya Sisterhood "Nurtured & Nourished" Workshop.

17.01.2022 DECEMBER EVENT! One last chance to gather in circle for 2020. 19th December.... 10:30am - 1:30pm. At the beautiful Dragonfly Zen. Event details & ticket link here https://www.eventbrite.com/e/yaya-sisterhood-vision-board-w

17.01.2022 CREATIVITY // The creative process is so personal and unique - the room of girls at the workshop last week was testament to this! Some girls were eager and enthusiastic about getting paint on their canvases, while others were more cautious and took their time choosing colours. We had fine, neat pallet knife strokes & precision technique at the same time other girls had hands, feet, legs and foreheads covered in paint with fingers happily moving all over on the canvas!... And each creation was an accurate representation of who everyone was at the core - colourful, free, celebrated. Tickets for the next workshop have been selling and are available for purchase [Link in BIO] Ps! I’m still away in BNE and have broken my phone while here - SO grateful for the iCloud for saving all the precious photos from each workshop!

16.01.2022 CHARLOTTE // Charlotte is my bonus babe and the second eldest in our #lifewith5 blended family. And here she is with her incredible piece she created at the September ‘BE FREE, BE A WILDFLOWER’ workshop [one of my fave pieces from the day - not biased (but maybe a little )!] We’re on the way down south on a mini-roadtrip to Townsville to spend the weekend celebrating her 11th birthday!... So I’ll be away from the Yaya admin things for a couple of days; but wanted to pop in to say there are a couple tickets available for the NOVEMBER workshop [link to purchase in bio above]. Sending all the good weekend vibes; BIG love x

15.01.2022 T-SHIRTS // The website has a couple more Yaya tees available. I have loved wearing mine while here in BNE; like I’m reppin’ some apparel from a secret club. I have some not-quite-perfect-but-still-cute quality shirts that I will upload to the website [and share photos and videos of quality on the IG stories] once I’m back in Cairns. They are perfect on the front, just a tad faded on the back. I’ll be uploading those at cost price. ... And might even keep one aside for a Yaya giveaway []! Thank you again to all the have previously purchased one! I’d LOVE to see them! Please take a photo and tag the Yaya Sisterhood socials so I can feature you on the grid/stories/everywhere! It makes me happy to see this community grow. And I’d love to be able to offer more cute wearable #girlpower #sisterhood #thefutureisfemale accessories!

11.01.2022 SISTERHOOD THREAD // Can you spot the wonderful Art by Ash Fazel who joined in with our ice breaker ‘sisterhood thread’ game at the last workshop? This workshop we explored what it meant to be ‘FREE’ and during this game the prompt was to finish this sentence, ‘I feel most free when....’ - and the answers blew me [and Ash!] away! I feel most free when I am walking in nature.... I feel most free when I am dancing in my room to my favourite songs. I feel most free when I am walking out the school gates and it’s school holidays! I feel most free when I am running and doing sports. I feel most free when I am on the couch with my dog, eating snacks. I feel most free when I am laughing with my friends. I feel most free when I am paining and drawing. I feel most free when I am riding my horse and I have no worries in the world. I feel most free when I am here at the Yaya Sisterhood [] I feel most free when I am alone and reading my favourite books. I feel most free when I am swimming in the ocean and look up at the sky. Such a POTENT question to ask, prompt, explore, inspire & discuss.

10.01.2022 PREPARATION // I received a parcel in the mail from my First Moon Circle Facilitator Training teacher/mentor/coach! The incredible Charlotte gifted all graduation FMC students samples of sanitary products from JuJu & Organyc Australia that we will be able to share and explore with when we deliver our own FMC circles & workshops. While unboxing the goodies, I was VERY enthusiastic about sharing my enthusiasm for this work on my Instagram stories this morning - I’ve saved my... rambles in a highlight titled ‘First Moon’. If you’re interested in registering for the very first FMC here in the Far North [it’s going to be lush!], click this link: https://linktr.ee/yayasisterhood Once clicked, follow the prompts to ‘subscribe’ to the Yaya Sisterhood email list. Big thank you to Charlotte; you have looked after us every single step of the way. So honoured to have learnt from you! -------------------- More Charlotte things here: Charlotte Pointeaux - Coach, Circles, Cycles.

06.01.2022 KIND WORDS // "My girl had a really rough experience yesterday, and told me she 'just wanted to run away to Yaya Sisterhood' Thank you for creating and facilitating a space where our girls feel this much safety, acceptance, and support. Extremely grateful for all you are doing, and all you Be xxoo"... ---------- These beautiful words stopped me in my tracks as I read them. While my heart ached a little knowing her daughter was experiencing a rough time; but I did feel so much overwhelming gratitude when I read that she felt like she wanted to run to the Yaya Sisterhood - a safe place. I remind the girls before we begin the workshop that the Yaya Sisterhood is a safe [non-judgemental, free of cliques, no hierarchies] space for them; this is the space I needed as a child - a space to just BE - and I am feeling so thankful that this space exists today for the young girls in Cairns, FNQ.

03.01.2022 Food is fuel, food is FUN! Nurtured & Nourished Workshop w/ special guest Chloe Collins Nutrition! The girls will be getting hands on and creating some yummy take-home delicious and nutritious treats.... Spaces for OCTOBER still available. ---------- Yaya Sisterhood "Nurtured & Nourished" Workshop.

01.01.2022 PEP TALK // I’ve been reading ‘Untamed’ by Glennon Doyle - and I am in love with pretty much every line of every page. The entire book feels like a ginormous affirmation and a timely reminder for myself to live authentically and BOLDLY. Even though Glennon’s words are a beautifully weaving of magnificent vocabulary and lyrical genius - my favourite takeaway so far has been this simple line: ... I can do hard things! It’s such a true and honest impactful statement that can be applied to so many varying situations. I’ve since used it at the gym during a gruelling HIIT WOD, while figuring out tech things for Yaya and even as I sat down to continue creating a program for 2021 workshops [program creating and making sure everything flows and fits together when you’ve never done it before...is HARD]. If we all, adult woman, young girls - anyone, everyone - had this message reverberating through our psyche; how bold, bright & brave we’d all be! I can - you can - WE can; do hard things!
