Welcome to Our Life

by Michelle | Jan 26, 2019 | Everything Else, In the Home, In the Office, In the Studio

Often we make plans and something gets in the way to muck up those plans. That is really called the rollercoaster of LIFE. Hi there! My name is Michelle and I’m a proud mum of 4. Two girls, two boys aged between 15 and 22. My very significant other (now hubby)...

Looking for something!

Pretty stoked with my purchase of the day....my ne Pretty stoked with my purchase of the day....my new laptop bag! My business fits in my pretty new bag to take anywhere in the world. Love the progression of the online world and even more so after Covid, how open people are to zoom meetings and online training. Watch this space for some new trainings to come soon!! #lifecoaching #businesscoach #businesscoachforwomen #productivitycoach #goalsetting #multitaskingmom #organisingqueen
NO FILTER NEEDED This is one of the beauties of li NO FILTER NEEDED This is one of the beauties of living in the country. Our sunrises and sunsets. The kookaburras laughing, the magpies having a sing, the fog that drifts in up out of the gorge. It helps us to slow. To appreciate what we have. To feel grateful every day. #gratitude #lifecoaching #womeninbusiness #newenglandliving #newenglandhighcountry #countryaustralia #sunsets #nofilterneeded
SEE THE BEAUTY IN EVERY DAY - NO FILTER NEEDED To SEE THE BEAUTY IN EVERY DAY - NO FILTER NEEDED Today was a work from home day and to get away from the computer I went for a walk at lunchtime. These are all the things I saw in my two blocks. Too easy we get caught up in the chaos of life that we don’t stop to see the simple things and beauty in every day. Not only do we pass by so many amazing things, we get too busy working to live that we neglect to enjoy the live. So try and slow a little more. Take in the beauty around you. Enjoy some self care by taking the time out. #beautyaround #selfcare #liveeverydaywithintention #liveeveryday #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #ourcountrystyle #countryaustralia #womeninbusiness #ruralbusiness #ruralwomen #newenglandhighcountry
YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW THE NEXT STEP Sometimes we YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW THE NEXT STEP Sometimes we get flustered or frustrated because we can’t see exactly where we need to go and the steps we need to take. But in actual fact, as long as we know the next step we need to take, we can continue to work the rest out as we go. And like the fog at home it will become clearer as you start to move forward. Last week I had a strategy session with a coach. From the session I have decided to pivot again and focus on one particular offering for now. This threw me one step forward but about 3 back as I had plans with a project already in motion. But we need to embrace change and then focus on the next right step. “You don’t have to see the whole staircase” #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #course #ourcountrystyle #chaostocalm #clarity #knowyournumbers #womenentreprenurs #womeninbusiness #onestepforward
TAKING IN THE SMALL MOMENTS A beautiful day and a TAKING IN THE SMALL MOMENTS A beautiful day and a nice walk with the dog while listening to a podcast with my #aftershokz was a great way to enjoy the morning. Can hear the birds chirping while I’m life learning. We often get so busy in life that we don’t stop to enjoy the small moments. At the end of our journey, the small moments will really be what was important. Don’t forget to stop and enjoy the little things, notice things in your day. Take notice of that pretty flower or that blossoming tree, or the funny bird that played chicken with the car, or the weird cloud in the sky that looked like and elephant. Slow enough to take life, enjoy and smile. #ourcountrystyle #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #slowliving #enjoylife #littlemoments #inspiration #inspirationalwords #inspirational #countryliving #countryaustralia #mindsetmatters #positivemindset #noregrets #shokzsquad #aftershokz
THIS IS MY ROCK This crazy individual is my rock, THIS IS MY ROCK This crazy individual is my rock, my best friend and the love of my life. He supports all my crazy dreams and keeps me grounded when I need it. He’s there for all my stressful moments, my fits of laughter, our adventures and all the hard work. He’s there for my kids and my family. Over the past 6 1/2 years we been through so much together. Supporting my children when they lost their dad, watching children fly the coup, getting married, starting new businesses, closing down others, changing jobs and careers, becoming grandparents, buying land, building a “shouse” and now finally a house. We have been on a cruise, a balloon ride, a few concerts and beach trips and a number of hikes. But most of all every day we just do us. We don’t try and keep up with the Joneses, we don’t feel the need to wear fancy clothes or drive fancy cars, or live in a flash fancy home with a mortgage way more then we would like. We live a simple yet fulfilled life. We laugh often, we eat too much food, we relax together and most of all our hearts are full with love. We definitely got it right second time round. This I am grateful for! #ourcountrystyle #myrock #newbeginnings #alovinglife #lifecoach #secondchances #nokeepingupwiththejones #countryaustralia #fulfilledlife #happinessishomemade
As the weather is getting warmer and the days gett As the weather is getting warmer and the days getting longer, we’ve found it nice to get outside for a change. Winter here is pretty cold and frosty. Last Sunday went for a morning hike at one of the local waterfalls. Not much water flowing but nice view anyway. It was a nice way to spend some quality time together too, fresh air, birds chirping and good conversation. It’s been harder during covid to have date nights with restaurant number restrictions, but it goes to show you that you don’t need to spend money or go out anywhere to have “date” time. But it is important to always continue to nurture your relationship no matter how new or old it is. ❤️ #datemorning #datenight #waterfalls #countryaustralia #ourcountrystyle #mybestfriend #qualitytime #nutureyourrelationship
ACTION DOG SHOTS! When you live in a quiet bit of ACTION DOG SHOTS! When you live in a quiet bit of paradise and you try and entice the dog for a photo without getting a lick up the face, this is how is rolls...distant dog, dog ears, no dog, last attempt in new location with dog smiling (well I always think he looks like he is smiling) I’m on a weeks holiday and am feeling so relaxed. I’ve slept better, I’m calmer, I’ve got out doors much more, and I’ve been active everyday. I’ve even eaten better. My mental health is feeling the best it’s been all year. Sometimes we need to remember that it is ok to take a break, and to slow down. The world will keep turning without us and we will feel much better for it. When I started the year I had two words. One was SLOW and the other FOCUS. I have only been good at the second and have made great progress in many things. I think I will choose SLOW again next year and hope the pandemic settles. #selfcare #slowdown #holidaytime #countryaustralia #mentalhealthmatters #ourcounteystyle #feelingfree #relaxing #shokzsquad
