"The story of the girl with the good hair, the pink wheels, and the determination to turn all negatives into positives!"

ManorLakes P-12 Year 10's you guys were absolute bomb today! There were tears, there was laughter and there was so much emotion in that room today it was just bliss. Thanks for having me and laughing at my bad jokes! TAG yourself and your buddies 😜✨ (at Manor Lakes College)

Busy, in a meeting, discussing very important issues such as the weather, life, world peace and the importance of drinking espresso martinies on a Saturday afternoon 🍸#twobrokengirls

Every flower must push through the dirt to get to bath in the sunlight🌺 It's always one step forward and two steps back with spinal cord injury. When it seems like I've finally got on top of one thing, another something visits me too. I've felt pretty useless this week as I've injured my back and have spent most of the week in bed. This tends to bring up so many emotions as it reminds me how even though I'm extremely independent, I still require assistance with so many things. I feel like I become a burden on the people around me and I get an overwhelming sense of guilt as I know others rely on me too. It's ok not to be ok. We are allowed to have these feelings and during these times, just like I keep reminding myself, we have to remember we are only human and we are enough 🙏🏻 #youareenough #itsoknottobeok

Give a girl a good hair do and a microphone and watch her take over the world 🎤💕 Today is the day that I did my very first @spinchat 5 YEARS AGO! Becoming a public speaker and built both my character and personality like you wouldn't believe. Being the student always at the back of the class I never would have imagined that I would one day be talking in front of hundreds of students about risk taking & resilience. To each and every student, school and teacher that has heard me speak, thank you for allowing me to share my honest truths with you. The next 5 years are going to be unstoppable 💪🏻💕 #girlboss #publicspeaker #publicspeaking #melbournespeakers

Attention Sydney based hair & makeup artists! I'm on the hunt to find someone to glam me and my mumma bear up for the #cosmopolitan #womenoftheyearawards on November 10th. Sydney followers please tag any recommendations you have for a hair and makeup artist that may be able to come to our hotel and help us get ready (ideally I'd like one person to do both). Thanks so much beautiful people 🙏🏻💁🏼💕 (at Sydney, Australia)

Sunday mornings are my absolute favourite! It seems like only yesterday I would spend them with a sore head and dreading a Monday, but since becoming a #girlboss my Sunday's are spent relaxing, creating magic and prepping physically and mentally for the week ahead. So this morning I'm laying in bed with my to do list, my coffee (thanks to @moonshine_trucking) and a sleepy baby cat, getting things done before I go and check out the fresh paint job on our new @thenextstepscirecovery building 😍✨

I was up bright and early to visit St Paul's Anglican Grammar School in Warragul today. I love when schools become family and I get to revisit each year and chat to the different year levels. I'm always welcomed by a bunch of students in the car park who are eagerly waiting to hear my story. It's such bliss when they tell me they have been all over my website learning as much as they can before we meet. Thank you for making my Thursdays full of love and happiness 🙏🏻 P.S A big sorry to the two students that got chopped out of this picture, blame your teacher for the terrible photo taking skills 😂 #spinchat #sciawareness #mywheellife (at St Paul's Anglican Grammar School)

I can't believe it's my big, little girls 2nd birthday! Where has the time gone? Gracie Lou came into our lives at just 12 weeks old as a shelter puppy. Her little face popped up on my computer screen and I knew I had to see this little beauty in the flesh. What I saw was a very lonely and sad puppy with big golden eyes and the biggest paws I've ever seen on a puppy looking for happiness and her forever home. It had always been my hubby to be @moonshine_trucking's dream to have a Great Dane and the fact that we'd be giving this little bug a chance at a loving life was an absolute bonus. She has the kindest nature and the funniest personality. She brings love and joy to us and her little big brothers as well as "her" baby cat Odi, not to mention always puts a big smile on the faces of the clients at @thenextstepscirecovery and is always there to provide great big warm furry cuddles! Happy 2nd Birthday our beautiful fur baby Gracie Lou 🐶🎂🎈🎉

Mondays can be magical if you let them! I had a bliss night sleep that left me feeling refreshed and reenergised. I opened up my emails to find a beautiful email from one of our clients at @thenextstepscirecovery which was a perfect way to start my morning. Have a good friend a reading to help kick start his week and now I'm off to the gym as my body is screaming at me to move. This week is gonna be amazing because I'm going to make sure it is. Mondays are the start of a new week so forget about what you didn't do last week and work on what you are going to achieve this week. Only you can create greatness so get off your arse and work your magic 💪🏻🙏🏻✨ #notamanicmonday #welcomemonday #mondaymotivation

Patience is a trait many of us lack and is really one we need to practise more often. Today I sat in the middle of our Skylar girls paddock while she ran wild around me after her paddock buddy Henry was taken away to be groomed. Skylar is our "rescue" horse as she came to us after suffering severe trauma by previous owners and is what some people may now consider a wild horse but what I see is a horse that is broken and needs healing. Today she charged around me and at any time could have run right into me, but I sat there still, assertive and positively certain that she couldn't hurt me. It took around an hour for her to settle and recognise that I was there for her, to love her and to listen to her and with that she began rolling around at my feet. My heart sunk as I remembered why I become a veterinary nurse as my relationship with animals has always been magical. I can't wait for the day when I have my very own space to heal animals the way they continue to heal me and today motivated me even more to make that wish come true, but with that wish comes patience 🙏🏻 #horses #horsewhisperer #healing

#repost @secretsinthegardenevents A quote that couldn't suit this moment any better! Embracing all the challenges and tests that are thrown at me at the moment. I believe the universe tests our strength so we learn to overcome struggle and become strong enough to accomplish great things. Nothing in life that is good comes easy, otherwise we wouldn't appreciate it would we? This week @elle_createbelieveachieve and I begin the journey that we have both been dreaming of. Both of us live our lives in wheelchairs and we don't let it stop us from making magic and spreading love. So why the hell should you let anything stop you? We have something truly amazing in the works and we can't wait to share it with you! Watch this space 💕🙏🏻 #embrace #secretsinthegarden #winsecretsinthegarden

In the realm of spirit animals, the lion wins the prize for most relentless fighter in the face of life challenges. The lion spirit animal represents courage, strength in overcoming difficulties. The presence of this power animal could also mean that something “wild” or difficult to control is happening. As such, lions symbolizes emotions that are difficult to manage, such a anger or fear. Are you a lion? 🦁 #lion #lioness #spiritanimal #totem

October is a huge month of exciting change and new beginnings, but nothing brilliant comes without hard work and determination. A good friend just reminded me of my strength and how this year has been a big year of progression and coming into my own and I couldn't agree more. So to all the women out there that are female entrepreneurs, CEO's, head of organisations or just damn right girl bosses I just want to send you so all some love and remind you, YOU GOT THIS 💪🏻👸 #girlbosses

GRAND FINAL DAY is here! Can you guess who I'm barracking for? The hubby to be is watching the game from the doggies home ground and I'm taking the warmer and cosier option of laying on the couch with the fur kids and watching it from home, it's also the best way to keep me from losing my hearing as @moonshine_trucking gets quite vocal during the game! #godoggies🔴⚪️🔵 #afl #grandfinal #westernbulldogs

#tbt to that time I looked death right in the face. LITERALLY! And while we are on that topic this is also a NEW BLOG POST ALERT💕 Last Sunday marked 7 years since I became a quadriplegic which feels very weird as I can't believe how fast time has gone. It's an emotional but happy time around this time each year as I'm glad to be alive and still making huge gains but it doesn't come without the pain and heart ache at the same time.
