So as you know, I'm a full-time teacher, I am in the leadership group of a major political party, I'm on several committees, I have three amazing children, I produce this podcast and I usually have two or three other personal project on the go at any one time. I love being busy, it keeps my brain happy and occupied, and reduces my aniexty. Lately, I've had a ton of people ask me, or comment on, how I do so much. 

It's taken me a long time to work out how to take on the mental load of being so busy, but in this episode, I share those tips and tricks with you - and give you some practical homework to help you work through it too! 

In the introduction, I also have a short rant about how 5 Indigenous Australians have died in custody since June, and yet this hasn't been declared a national emergency. I'd love for you to go sign this petition from GetUp! https://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/first-nations-justice-campaigns/stop-deaths-in-custody

Don't forget to share this episode with a friend, workmate, or family member who you think could really benefit from this advice! And rate, review and subscribe!!

Hello!

This week is a little bit special. My sister, Leah, and I chat about the most memorable parts of our childhood, and what things stick out in our minds most, and we compare these to how we think our kids will remember their time during COVID. Our kids have a really wide span in ages, so I know that Mums at all stages will get something out of this real conversation!

Please share this episode with someone you know might be worried about how much impact isolation is having on their small humans! 

In fact, please share this episode with anyone and everyone! Don't forget to follow us on Instagram and keep us company over there too! @Thiscrownisonfire

Have a fabulous week!

Hello! 

Welcome to another week of This crown is on fire. This week we are talking about the idea of "modern devotion" with co-host Lucia. 

I've been fascinated by stan culture, and this 'defend at any cost' mentality that I've seen rise through our modern society in the last five years or so. Lucia and I talk about faith, spirituality, and if the reduction in religious influences in our more secular society might have some role to play in this. Honestly, I think that this was such an interesting chat and I'm very keen to hear your thoughts! Hit me up on Instagram - @thiscrownisonfire - or via email; [email protected]

You can expect some writing on the website (www.thiscrownisonfire.com) this week, but in the meantime here is a link to some of the stuff we mention in the podcast today;

Hello!!

Thank you for joining me on this episode of This crown is on fire! This week I am featuring a bit of a historical profile on amazing 20th Century feminist, The Great Sandwina. Born into a circus family in Germany in 1886, Katie toured the world with her husband and children as the strongest woman in the world. She was a leader in the suffragette movement in New York, and was well known for her strength, grace, and power.  Come and join me to find out a little more about this fascinating woman.

Have a great week!
