What's new?

Let me set the scene.

You're sitting on the couch, scrolling on your phone, sipping your coffee… and boom — a thought hits you out of nowhere:

“Wait… who actually gets my super if something happens to me?”

Most people have no idea.
And honestly?
It’s not their fault — because superannuation is no...

Do you know what happens every January?

No, my inbox isn’t filled with people signing up for gym memberships or starting “Dry January.”
My inbox explodes with messages from people who spent the Christmas break having one very confronting realisation:

“This relationship… isn’t working anymore.”

An...

You know that feeling when you hear a term like “testamentary trust” and instantly think, “Nope… too hard… sounds expensive… sounds like something only rich people need”?
Yeah. Same.

But stick with me for a sec, because this is one of those things that sounds complicated—but could literally be the ...

Picture this: you’re in a car accident. You’re unconscious.
Doctors need to make critical decisions — whether to operate, what medications to give you, or worst case, whether to turn off life support.

Who makes those calls?
Your partner? Your parents? Your kids?

Here’s the confronting truth: witho...

Have you ever scrolled Instagram and suddenly questioned every life choice because someone you follow is apparently running four companies, launching a course, flipping properties, raising three kids, and still has time to casually drink green juice beside a pool in Bali?

Yeah, same.

And look — go...

Ever catch yourself thinking, “Maybe it’s too late…”? You’re tired, worn out from the constant bickering, or just drifting in different directions. And then… the thought sneaks in: “Maybe we’re done.”

Before you call it quits, let’s take a pause. That feeling of disconnection doesn’t always mean th...

Let’s be real for a second… family law isn’t just about paperwork, legal jargon, and court dates. It’s human. It’s messy. And some days, it feels like your emotions have clocked in for a full-time job.

I’ll never forget a client who once said to me, “One moment I was angry, then I was crying, and t...

Here’s the thing: meltdowns get all the attention.

They’re loud. Messy. Public. They’re the big moments people see — the ones that make strangers in the supermarket stare or make you feel like you’re failing as a parent.

But according to Sharon Collin, ADHD coach and mum of three neurodivergent ki...

Your mum just had a stroke. She can’t speak, can’t sign documents, and suddenly you’re standing in the bank trying to explain that you just need to pay her bills.

But the teller shakes their head.
You’re not on the account.
You have no authority.
The power’s about to be cut off — and there’s nothin...

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, ...
