You know what I’ve noticed? When life gets busy or stressful, joy is often the first thing we stop paying attention to. We focus on what needs fixing, solving, or surviving... and forget about the tiny things that actually keep us going. That’s where micro-moments of joy come in! I’m not talking about big, life-changing events. I mean the small, ordinary sparks that brighten a day, like the smell of fresh coffee, your favourite song coming on, a good belly laugh, or even just stepping outside into the sunshine for a bit to break up the day. These moments might seem small, but they do big things for our resilience. They help reset our nervous system, refill our energy tank, and remind us that even in tough times, there’s still light to be found. For me, it might be enjoying a warm cuppa tea or hearing a cheeky story from a friend. Tiny, simple moments, but they shift everything. What’s one small thing that’s brought you joy this week? Let’s start a thread of joy — because the little sparks often have the biggest impact.

Hi everyone 👋, this week I had the honour of presenting at the 12th MND Australia Care Forum. It was such a privilege to be part of a room full of health professionals, researchers, carers, and people with lived experience, all coming together to re-imagine how MND care can look in Australia. The focus was clear: high-quality care doesn’t just improve daily life — it gives people with MND more precious time with their loved ones. And that’s everything. Being able to share practical strategies on wellbeing and communication was more than just a presentation. It was a reminder of why I do what I do. Living with MND can be relentless — every day brings new challenges. But what gets me out of bed each morning is having purpose. My purpose is to advocate. To speak up for better care. To raise awareness. To remind people that you can still thrive, even with MND. Purpose gives me fuel when things feel tough. It gives me direction when my body doesn’t always cooperate. And it gives me hope that, one day, with enough voices and enough action, we’ll find a cure. I'd love to know what’s one purpose, big or small, that keeps you moving forward when life feels hard? Because resilience isn’t just about bouncing back — it’s about having a reason to keep going.

Let’s kick off the week with a reminder that might just take the pressure off… You don’t have to have it all together to make progress. You don’t need a perfect routine, a spotless mindset, or a totally clear plan of what you're doing... you just need to keep showing up. Resilience isn’t about never falling down — it’s about getting back up over and over again (even when it’s messy, slow, or wobbly). This week, instead of aiming for perfection, aim for: - Consistency over intensity - Grace over guilt - Progress over pressure What’s one thing you’re committing to this week — even if it’s imperfect? Let’s lift each other up in the comments. Share what you’re working on or how you’re choosing to keep moving forward. You’ve got this!

Let’s talk about recharging — because energy isn’t just about sleep or food. It’s also about how we manage our mental, emotional, and social energy. Did you know that introverts and extroverts often recharge in completely different ways? - Introverts tend to refuel through quiet time, solo activities, or reflective practices. - Extroverts often feel energised by being around people, engaging in conversation, or taking part in group activities. There’s no right or wrong — just what works for you. So today I’m asking: What helps YOU recharge when your energy feels low? Maybe it’s music, dancing, a nap, journaling, a long chat with a friend, a workout, or 10 minutes of silence with your cup of tea.
