A Lesson From Fiji
My 13-year-old daughter is currently off in Fiji with her school—snorkeling, building houses, helping the community, and basically living her best teenage life.
As I scrolled through the photos the teachers were sending, it hit me: she’s out there saying yes to everything.
And ...
Let’s be real for a second…
No one wants to talk about death. It feels heavy, morbid, and a little too real. Most of us would rather scroll TikTok, binge Netflix, or pretend we’ll live forever than sit down and think about wills.
But here’s the thing — I’ve seen firsthand in my legal practice what...
Picture this: you’re sitting in the kitchen, staring at the same walls you’ve stared at for years. The kids’ height chart is still on the doorframe, the backyard has memories of birthday parties, and you can practically hear the echoes of past family dinners. And now, in the middle of a separation, ...
Let me tell you a little story…
Years ago, I met a woman who hired the lawyer with the shiniest office and the most dramatic website headline. You know the type: “We’ll fight for you!” (Insert thunderclap here.) Sounds powerful, right?

I still remember the time I tried to sell carrots. Yep, carrots. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work out. But hey, I gave it a shot. That’s the thing about being a visionary — the ideas never stop. Big ones, small ones, brilliant ones, and completely random ones that probably should’ve stayed in my head.

Spoiler alert: It absolutely can be.
Coercive control and financial abuse are some of the sneakiest, most damaging forms of family violence—and they often leave no p...
I once had a mini panic attack on a plane. Not because of turbulence or a screaming toddler—but because I suddenly realised that everyone I’d listed as executor in my Will… was on the same plane. With me.
👑 Yep, full Royal Family vibes.
And if that plane went down? So would all of my carefully plan...
Let me tell you a quick story.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard: “Oh, I don’t need a will. Everything will just go to my partner anyway.” Or my personal favourite: “My dad made a will when he was healthy and died days later. They’re cursed, Stacy!”
I get it. Talking about death and est...
…but let’s have a real chat about it.
A while back, I recorded an episode about why I gave up alcohol. And then—true to life—I kind of went back to it. Then I gave it up again. It wasn’t some perfect wellness journey wrapped up in a bow. It was messy, real, and entirely mine.
So if you’re sitting ...
