They say you cant teach an old dog new tricks

Well check out this spring chicken
First set of walker wheels and drink driving at 95

Heard through the grapevine recently she was a lead foot back in the day and even had locals back road records.

Today, my mum in her 70's placed an order of Ningxia Red Singles for my 95 year old grandma whos been syphoning off my mums stash.

My mum has been a monthly wellness subsciption holder for many years now, my nan loves her diffuser and although longevity runs in the genes is no reason we cant reverse engineer the eygptian art form of MUMMIFICATION minus the 💀 🤦😂

So do you live by the belief that you cant teach an old dog new tricks, or some form of this excuse wrapped up in a picture story as a way to deflect and avoid change.

How many other sayings like this have we heard, live by or we use to give ourselves permission to avoid making a decesion and or to change therefore we stay the same, stay stuck , stay unchanged and lacking improvement ?

If this 95 year old can, what can you do?

Have you really listened to Dollys classic 9-5 or Bruces ' Born in the USA' we boop, weave, jam, declare these as our anthems but have you listened to the words?

Likewise thinking about this current ecomonic state, the speeches with empty sympathy , declarations of patriotic spirit from the career pollies living thier cushy lives while Australians are doing it hard and paying a debt they didnt create to pay a bill they sign up for .

I am reminded of times and seasons in the past 20-25 years where I have heard and seen the same spin being played out and the same impact enforced on the people and nation/s.

This insitutional from of trauma and abuse can be hard to revisited but if we dont , the lessons are lost.

This is where we all find ourselves again
Looking for BALANCE in an UNBALANCED WORLD

Now this business relationship and partnership between the Oola Guys and YL has since gone seperate ways.

However looking back on this photo from around 2015 and as I think of our family homeschooling stay-cations/outdoor rec/ natural sciences adventures taking on and ticking off Tasmanianas Great 60 Short Walks . I cant help but look back (remember) how important tools like this were to help us Find Balance in our Unbalanced world post US Military, international relocation, loss of financial security and new career opportunites after 2-3 yrs of univeristy.

These same opportunites (tools) are still avail for you.
These tools you can access and use TODAY!

So before cutting your Spotify or Audible Subscription consider turing it into your Adult Ed School of Success

You can find one of the Oola Books on both platforms if you want to save money on a real book.

You can also down load books to listen to podcast from money, financial and wealth experts like Dave Ramsey & personalities, Rich Dad Poor Dad or McAlvany Commentary .

Maybe you need help , motivation, direction in other areas of OOLA - faith, family, fitness, finances, field (job or biz) fun and friends.

Your subscriptions like Spotify if maximised can change your destiny vs being another bill needing to be cut turn those subscriptions into your slaves to make you money.

I dont know what you heard about me .......but

I have decided I need to pivot or what ever fandangle in vogue viral word people are using that implys something needs to change

And I am starting here with my personal IG & FB

In 1 year + 3months I am turning 50

And I am looking forward to it!

Why?

Because my 40's(late 30's onward) have been the hardest years of my life yet very very few knew.

(My kids of you read this do not take it out of context)

Very few knew. Why?

Not from a lack of trying to share, be vulerable and trust people but after experiencing being dismissed, downplayed , disregarded (gaslit) one learns its safer to keep it to ones self , observe, watch and as a business coach and mentor taught me

' Work harder on yourself that you do anything else'

Aka personal development, neuroplasticity, neurocycling, thearpy, counselling/coaching , books , podcasts etc etc etc you get the point

I dont look back in regret, I embrace the sadness .

I dont look back in rage, (well not as much 🤦)
I embrace the anger, grief and loss of what could have or should have been but wasnt .

I have grown, strengthened and honored my humanity.

I am still growing, changing, adapting , pivoting and course correcting as I become the best version of myself in this next season of my life .

I am still figuring out whats working, whats not, what needs work/focused attention (not easy for peri- adhdr)

I am still figuring out where I am beating a dead horse or trying to drown the horse to make it drink.

(All stupid aussie sayings so dont report me to RSPCA or animal cruelty I dont own a horse)

Do I know what this is going to look like ?

A bit of Yeah Nah Maybe

So follow along, get curious or unfollow and block

You do you babe no hard feeling I just tired of being someone I am not or no longer a version of

🎓👩‍🎓Graduation Day 👩‍🎓🎓

Congratulations Taylor-Hope Bitz

Thanks Deakin University
Thankd Crowne Plaza Geelong for hosting us

The WEIGHT is over !

🤣😂I could only resist so long 🤣😂

Anyone else get on this trend ?

I decided to go to the next level (as I do) and asked what I as a lower middle class tomboy farm girl who shopped at op shops would looked like in the 80's

( definately more accurate to who I am vs Degrassi Junior High )

Does anyone on here remember that show?

I reckon it was the warm up show to Beverly Hills 90210

Or what about the Baby Sitter Club books?

What do you remember from the 80's or wish you could bring back?

TASMANIAN OFF-SEASON…
aka locals discount season 😂🌿

I had high hopes and grand aspirations this month of sharing some of Young Living’s newest products that have genuinely made a difference to my everyday wellbeing…

But alas, the only thing that really went OFF was me. 😂

Sometimes life has other plans.

We DID manage to sneak away for one night on the East Coast and take advantage of one of the brilliant Tassie locals’ off-season deals 🙌 — and somewhere amongst life, work, family, dogs and trying to remember what day it is…

I FINALLY updated my Linktree. 🎉

And I’ve created some new wellness bundles around the things I hear women talking about all the time — stress, sleep, energy, hormones, feeling scattered and generally wanting to feel a little more like themselves again.

👉 Have a stickybeak through the new links in my bio.

Even if you’re not buying anything, I’d genuinely LOVE your feedback.

Does it make sense?
Is there a bundle you’d actually use?
What’s missing?
What would YOU like me to put together?

DM me. Tell me. I can take it. 😂

And in the meantime, if you happen to have Stress Away + Clarity + Peppermint sitting in your oil collection…

Pop them in the diffuser and create your own little National Park experience without leaving home. 🌲💧

Because apparently August was less about me having my life together… and more about embracing the OFF-season. 😂
