By all accounts we are a nation in crisis – the statistics are beyond alarming: 45% of Australians will experience a mental health issue in their lifetime; 6 Australian’s per day suicide with another 30 people attempting per day; and 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men experience domestic violence. Add to this that the world health organisation has listed burn out as a growing concern.

We believe in pushing boundaries and having the courage to tackle any challenges.

So true. When we deny emotions we begin to shut them down. The worst thing is it's not pick and mix. You shut then all down - including joy, happiness, contentment, all the good ones 😨
Oh that topic is great Bianca Stawiarski and always a difficult one. As a mum of a child who is a csa survivor of institutional abuse I watch her ‘mask up’ every day to interact with people. I am the same - I put a mask on and ‘pretend’ so I can get through the day - I am only myself at home. It’s a tough gig. ❤️
I’m pretty sure I’ve lost a good portion of my mind trying to be a person that fits in and is ok in appearance It’s taken me a very long time to even scratch the surface of what it is to be my real self I think mainly because I’ve filled different roles over the years that are each a costume in themselves: wife mother mother to infants vs toddlers vs tweens vs teenager sister aunt employee friend best friend old friend faring friend I could go on
How true, time to reflect. Love your work Sis.
I’m a Brit so we always reply with ‘I’m good, how about you’ regardless of how good we are! But your words make me wonder where the line is between ‘good’ and ‘not ok’. As you say, all emotions are valid and we all have up and downs. I don’t feel ‘good’ all the time but maybe it’s just an up and down day. How down or how frequently down is it before I’m not ok? Different for everyone obviously but it’s one I need to ponder.
Great topic 👌 What stands in the way of me being my authentic self? Me. Even though there are, and have been, many, many external situations in my life that are really painful and challenging, the only source of my authentic, empowered response to them ~ is me. Which sometimes feels really overwhelming. And sometimes feels really empowering. Thanks for a chance to remind myself 🙏
Sending love ❤️
Pretending things are ok is sometimes all that’s left. 😕
Love you 💖
Thanks Bianca 💓
Thank you 😊

Please share and consider donating to our crowd funding campaign to enough raise funds to offer 10 x 3 day We Al-li Programs Trauma Informed Care and Practice (TICP) workshops across South Australia.
This will enable community, especially in smaller parts of SA, to access the workshops free of charge.
We Al-li Programs explains their workshops:
“We Al-li community and workplace workshops are an Indigenous therapeutic response to individual, family and community pain that many people carry as part of their life experience. For Aboriginal peoples this pain is more specifically defined as the traumatic impacts of the multiple intergenerational experiences of colonisation resulting in ill-health, individual, family and community dysfunction (dys – Latin from the Greek dus meaning painful or difficult functioning). We Al-li specifically meets this need through tailored workshops that are trauma informed in their design and trauma specific in their delivery.
This training provides key approaches to setting up and maintaining trauma-informed organisational structures. Becoming trauma-informed allows us to deeply consider policy development and trauma specific work practice and service care strategies to more realistically meet the needs of affected people and communities.
Our workshops are built on the principles of integrating Indigenous cultural processes of education, conflict management, and personal/social healing with Eastern and Western therapeutic skills for trauma recovery within an action based experiential learning practice.”
Thank you for your support.

My gosh, this year I am beyond humbled and again a little teary. Thank you to the amazing woman (you know who you are) that nominated me for the Beam Magazine Australia Awards for Women to Watch describing me as follows:
"Bianca is a First Nations woman who runs multiple businesses and still finds time to mentor others. She is kind, thoughtful of others and is always looking to give back. I believe she deserves the opportunity for her to be spotlighted and all that she has achieved (and is still achieving) may be put forward so that the rest of society can see how important what she does is."
Your thoughts are so beautiful and generous. I give back because I can AND because I want to support others to succeed.
Thank you,
Luv,
Bianca xx ... See MoreSee Less

Morning from Kaurna Country. It was frosty and then foggy this morning, further up the hill. I went for a walk and now I'm writing a blog.
