🎤 Terrified…but the mic is already in my hand!

Public speaking has always been something I’ve avoided. So when I was suddenly thrown in the deep end to speak on behalf of the committee at my son’s Middle School Step-Up Ceremony, my insides twisted. 😬

But then I reminded myself: I’m here for growth.
With 135 guests watching, zero preparation and my heart pounding out of my chest, I pulled on my big girl pants and stepped up. 🫣

A good friend Rachel Zubak captured this moment… and honestly, I don’t even recognise the person in this photo! Sure, I’ve held a karaoke mic and belted out lyrics to slightly terrified crowds before - but this? This had all the makings of a disaster. Mumbling. Trying (and failing) to be funny. Accidentally offending someone. All very possible outcomes for me under pressure.

What you see here is definitely not how I felt inside.
I swear the walls were closing in.

Avoiding eye contact, mind racing, somehow I managed to deliver a few lines of gratitude to the kids, teachers and families.

This experience, while terrifying, pushed me.
It may seem like a small moment…but for me, it was a huge step forward. One I know I need to keep tackling.

🥤Prepping for a juice party, attendance 2! Tomorrow my Mother In Law Vikki Clayton and I are diving into another 1 day juice cleanse with Remix Juice Bali for a bit of a body reset. Life can be a lot so sometimes it’s good to strip it all back and give our bodies a break.✨ Here’s why I love this day: ☑️ Bloat? Gone. ☑️ Energy? Back. ☑️ Mind? Clearer. It’s about tuning in, clearing out and feeling good from the inside out, and I’m here for it say every 2-3 weeks. Just one day…and the drinks are delicious you don’t even feel hungry or like you’re missing out, unless you plan it on an actual party night, but that’s just silly … plan ahead, enjoy the process and your body will thank you for it. Drop a🍹 if you’re on the same path or if you’ve ever been ‘Juice Curious’ before please feel free to ask me some questions I’d be happy to help. 💫 Follow for more midlife resets. 💌 These are our Why Not Times ~ Amelia

💻 How it’s going... 60 days in

I’m two months into my 90 day ‘Why Not see what I can do challenge’, by taking bold moves in life and in business … all in the name of crafting a midlife I’m obsessed with!!!…And whilst I can’t say I’m ticking off five things EVERY day, I am showing up daily and that feels like progress to me.

My trusty notebook has been holding me accountable (bless her) but lately, I’ve been craving something more streamlined…something that keeps the vision clear and the daily actions doable.

So… I’ve created a one page print out with everything I need, all on one pretty page, to get me through these next 30 days….and beyond.

This is my angel :

✅ My 5 daily tasks (with a cheeky get-out-of-jail card if one rolls over)
✅ A 90-day countdown (because progress feels better when you can see it)
✅ My non-negotiables like yoga, meditation, walks, and time with friends
✅ A space for affirmations and daily motivation
✅ My big picture goal/s front and centre

And on the flip side..I’ve introduced a journal entry page I’m calling ‘Dear Lifey’…like a little love note and motivational speech to myself…my life! Like a bestie. A wifey. My lifey. A space to offload the thoughts, jot down the wins (and the angsts) and stay connected to what I’m doing it for in the first place.

Maybe it’s the Virgo in me but I’ve always loved writing lists…oh! …and that joy of crossing each item off!! Such a win!! But I’m loving how much more focused and intentional this feels, with the side addition of journaling like I did back as a teenager, oh if those diary’s could talk!!

I’m excited to be heading to the printers tomorrow to roll out my first 30 sheets… I’ll be sure to share a pic of this joyful occasion!

So what do ya think? Would you use something like this? Are you a List Lover? Let me know below, I’m all for a good cyber chinwag 💬

✨ That one decision you’re to scared to make, might just be the beginning of your best chapter yet!

✨ Life isn’t meant to be played safe....It’s meant to be felt.

✨ Share this with someone who needs a little nudge to say “Why Not?”

Another reason ‘May’ will always mark a turning point for me…
�It was May 2020 when I laid down my first ‘100 days of yoga’ and just a few years later I committed to 200 hours of yoga teacher training…something completely out of my comfort zone & scared me senseless!

I had never taken that much time away from my family. Never relied so heavily on others to juggle the kids, the house, the daily rhythm of our lives. I was scared of failing, of spending so much money on something that might not “lead” anywhere.

But I threw myself in. Determined to soak up every moment, push through the aching body, the tiredness, the spiralling thoughts.

The pressure I put on myself was intense…I remember learning my child had ringworm and feeling crushed I hadn’t noticed earlier.

But I kept going, each day was an accomplishment, the final test overbearing to begin with, I settled in as I went, I had trained for this - I was ready even - though the trembling legs and shaking voice remained….but, I knew, this was exactly where I needed to be.

The growth over these past two years has been huge. I’m still learning, I’m still growing and here I am, on socials, wishing to inspire others to do the same.… to chase their dreams and their own “why not” moments.

To anyone wondering if it’s too late, too selfish, too scary, it’s not….You’re not.

✨ Feel those butterflies.
✨ Do the thing that lights you up.
✨ Your journey matters.

Here’s to the next chapter and to anyone standing at the edge of their own “maybe.” Take that leap. It’s your time.

❤️ Doubel tap if you made it to the end, thank you for listening, thank you for watching.

I am 47 and ¾, and every time I brush my hair… it looks like I’ve been grooming a golden retriever 😳

I took this photo today, not because I’m looking for sympathy, but because this is the real part of midlife no one really warns you about.

Hormones, stress, perimenopause… it’s all playing a role. And while I know I’m not alone, it stops me in my tracks every time I glance at the hairball in my comb.

But here’s the thing….instead of fighting it, I’m choosing to face it - hair by hair - because Why Not embrace all of what midlife has to offer…even the scruffy bits.

Anyone else quietly losing a little more than just patience these days? 👇 let’s talk more…

But mindset? That’s something you can build. And in midlife, it’s not about waiting for a coach, a class, or some perfect moment to light the fire. It’s about getting up, even when it’s hard.Especially when it’s hard. I’ve learned the only way forward is through…through the tired days, the doubts, the "what's the point" thoughts. You don't need to be the strongest, the most flexible, or the most “together.” You just need to choose you. Again and again. Why not today? 🔥 Needed this kind of energy today? Say YES below.
