This week, we're diving into the power of working within your zone of genius—the unique space where you feel energized, confident, and impactful.
Here’s the key: not every task in your business needs to be about learning something new or constantly upgrading.
Sometimes, the best move is doubling down on your strengths and creating room for the magic you bring.We explore the importance of finding people who can help with tasks outside your genius zone. Whether it’s social media, admin, or tech setup, there’s immense value in outsourcing what drains you.
For example, I recently transitioned much of my business to Instagram. I loved the creative strategy side of it, but the nitty-gritty execution? Not so much. Recognizing this, I brought in help—and what a game-changer!If a task feels like a frustration or time-waster, it’s often a sign it’s time to delegate. Alternatively, if you find yourself procrastinating because something feels “hard,” pause and ask: Can I pair this task with something I love?
For example, tackling admin while brainstorming big ideas can make the process more enjoyable and productive.This episode reminds us to lead with our strengths. When you make room for your genius zone, whether it’s dreaming up ideas, connecting with your audience, or creating solutions, you stay in flow—and that feels good!
Finally, we discuss the delicate balance of forcing vs. flowing. When you stop forcing yourself into areas that aren’t natural and instead embrace what feels good, you’ll notice not just more ease but also a thriving business.
Let’s reimagine work: less struggle, more flow, and more YOU at the heart of your business. Tune in now to make it happen!

Have you seen the funny insta reels out there on this topic!
I cracked up the first time I heard about Backwards Maths.
For some of us backwards maths is no joke! And it can really hurt your head trying to figure out how to make time for all the things to come together, especially when you have to do it backwards!
This week, Mel and I dive into the art of backwards planning and why it’s a game-changer for creating space for yourself amid the chaos.
We share our own laugh-out-loud examples and show how a little intentional time management helps us say "yes" to ourselves—without forgetting about dinner or the million other moving parts!
Whether it’s cooking meals mid-afternoon or finding the right time to squeeze in self-care, this episode is all about reclaiming your time.
While spontaneity is awesome, sometimes a little organisation goes a long way.
And a small side note, if you were one of those kids that found maths challenging, I just want to say, ‘look at you go now!’
Until next time LIVE YOUR PASSION,
Love Nat and Mel

One man down in our house (yes he is improving) and the painting for the reno's is nearly finished (Phew)
When you set up your life as a two person household and one goes down, it's time to get serious with your priorities.
And you guessed it, boundaries!
So the first thing that I did, was set up my week in a way that would not overload me, but I could still get the essentials done, along with the extra renovation stuff.
I was working at a 'one step at the time, one day at a time pace'.
And the biggest thing that I was taking care of was me.
I made sure I was in bed early, that I was eating well, that I still had my down time (even if just for short moments) and I didn't take on anything extra.
I actually shed off anything that didn't really need my attention for now.
And there were probably a few moments where I used the word 'NO'.
One beautiful thing that does pop up when there is one man down in the household is an appreciation for all that they do, to keep your household and the people in it running smoothly.
And my hubby is exceptionally great at the sports trips and getting the dishes done!
If you are in a space where you have one man down at the moment, take care and remember to look after yourself too.
Until next time LIVE YOUR PASSION,Love Nat and Mel

I took a leap and decided to book my holidays outside of the school holidays.
In the past I have worked one week and taken one week off, but it’s never really a holiday and I knew I needed a bit of down time to myself.
I hear what you are saying, but what about the kids, what did they do all day???
Well I work a few jobs part time, so I had some flexibility already in the holidays, and they are also a bit older so could manage some of the time themselves.
And I could ask, ‘What about me?’.
For most of us the guilt would set in! The need to take care of everyone has a strong pull for a mother.
It comes back to being able to have conversations with your family around what it is we all need and how we can help each other meet those needs.
It also takes some strong will to not let things creep into that time you have set aside for yourself, whether it be a week or a couple of days or an afternoon.
Mum’s need to get good at holding their boundaries.
It’s crucial so you can take good care of yourself. Xx
You will be pleased to know that I held my boundary well, and I followed the flow of the day, each day and had the most wonderful week.
And because I had created the space I got really creative in my biz, and set a few things in action! Again following the flow.
It was so fun and I highly recommend it to every Mum out there!
Be intentional.
Set the date.
Protect the date.
Enjoy the time with yourself.
Rinse and Repeat regularly.
Until next time LIVE YOUR PASSION,
Love Nat and Mel

We are super excited to have Lou as a guest on our podcast.
She is highly motivated and passionate about her work in the world and in this episode we get to understand how she stays focused on her dream.
Lou had been a teacher for 20 years before she dived head first into her vision. She had tried to bring her vision to life in the school space, but unfortunately they were not ready for her innovative ideas (sound familiar?)
Instead of waiting it out for another 20 years in education, Lou decided to embark on her journey herself, to bring forth into the world her new ideas and ways of working with people that included focusing on the relationships.
In her teaching space she recognised that children learn better when they have good, safe relationships with their teacher.
So Lou then expanded this idea for adults and out into the workplace, where she now advocates and educates in workplace mental health.
She is passionate about how business’ approach mental health, educating them on the integral link between a positive work environment and overall success.
Lou’s guiding principle - “When we look after our people, they look after the business”
You can see how a passionate WHY can keep you in your business!
Lou also shares the craziness of living your passion and how to look after yourself while doing it.
Thanks for joining us Lou.

Let’s talk about that universal challenge we all face—sticking with something consistently. Whether it's exercise, writing, or keeping your kitchen counters clear, consistency can feel like climbing Everest.
So why do we struggle?
Because it comes down to the why. Why are you doing the thing you’re doing? If your reason doesn't fire you up, it’s tough to keep going. You need that spark to ignite consistency, and it has to feel valuable to you.Here's where the magic comes in—when you align your actions with your values, consistency becomes a whole lot easier. It’s like finding a rhythm instead of forcing yourself into a rigid routine. Want to know more about aligning your values? Check out my episode on values right here ( ).
But let's be real—sometimes even the most aligned activities can feel like a chore. So how do you stay committed? The trick is to add a little fun into the mix. It’s okay to get creative! Maybe grab a buddy for accountability, or crank up your favorite playlist while you tackle that big project. Find the part that’s enjoyable or create joy within the challenge.
Consistency doesn't just build good habits—it builds you. Taking action, no matter how small, builds self-trust and confidence. Once you take that first step, momentum kicks in and, before you know it, you’re creating a beautiful rhythm that feels good.
Start with something that’s easy to access, and keep showing up for yourself. After all, the challenge at the start makes the reward even sweeter in the end.

Yep we are talking about TIME aaaagain!
You know why?
Because as a mother it can feel like it’s always against us.
Even late last night my daughter tells me that she needs to be at school at 8.15am the next day!
And so the time manipulation begins.
Has anyone seen that reel on instagram where the Mum is doing backwards math?
This is my life.
Having the activity time in my head, then counting back how to get us there at that time while fitting in all the other things that need to be done.
So it pays to look at time in a different way and that’s what we are doing in this episode.
Mel and I share our tips and tricks for working with time, and even going one better and making time magical. Playing to our strengths and being in control rather than constantly letting time be in control of us!
The first step is to be aware of how you see time and aware of time itself.
Buried heads in the sand usually equates to rushing, lots and lots of being late, and huge anxiety for both you and your kids.
Once you are aware of time, you can then bring the time magic.
You will have a super power of bending time, manipulating time, using time to your benefit and it’s going to feel bloooody goooooood!
Using time this way helps us to keep our passions alive.
Until next time LIVE YOUR PASSION,
Love Nat and Mel

Episode 55. How the Dishes Keep Teaching Us Life Lessons
Yep, the bloody dishes conversation has reared its head again!!
I feel like the dishes conversation is a metaphor for so many things in life!
Most noted, is how we deal with things we need to do consistently in life and how to love that we get to do these things daily!
I remember doing the dishes at home when I was growing up, and we would just know that it was something we needed to do, we set a routine, and we also had some fun while doing it. (as mentioned in today’s episode)
It’s a bit like when dinner is ‘your job’ and again it seems to come around every day (how does that happen?) How do you make it something that still feels good?
I know across the time, I have changed things up so that it doesn’t feel like the monotonous job that it is.
I’ve ordered Hello Fresh for a few months, I have made games with the kids like the ‘mince meat challenge’, sometimes the kids cook, Hubby has a couple of cooking shifts a week.
And when it gets really dire, I put on my fav tunes and dance and sing and cook.
So it’s not really the thing that’s the problem, it’s how we feel about it and that can change day to day depending on what mood we choose to hang out in.
It always comes back to choice.
How can we approach our week in a way that feels good? How can we set ourselves up for success? How can we be grateful that we have food to cook and dishes to wash in houses that are warm and cosy?Listen in and see how Mel and I navigate these questions.

EPISODE 54. REORGANISE - Uncover hidden moments of JOY in your day, even when life feels too full.How can I fit the things I love into my life?
What is it that tends to get in the way of you making time for yourself during the week?
Yes it can be the children’s activities, it might be the mundane tasks like washing dishes and doing laundry.
But it could also be the way we think about time.Often Mum’s are living 10 steps ahead of everyone else in the future, which can lead to the illusion that there is not enough time for anything else, as you are already all booked up in your head!
Or do you sometimes misread how long things can take, that each tasks fills up a huge amount of time, but really it might only take half the amount of time that you first thought?
There are all the gaps that are available to you when you live in the present.
When you start to play with time, you can start to see how you can make things work.
One of the most practical things you can do to help you with time, is to use your calendar with intention.
Reminding yourself that you are in control of your week, and what you put in your calendar and how you use that time.
Start by taking a look over your calendar, (do you even have a calendar?) see where you can block some things together or like me, while I’m waiting for my daughter at work I take my book, or download a podcast, so it’s still my time too.
If you don’t take control of your time, then I guarantee that someone else will.

Episode 53. From Blah to Beyoncé: How Passion Turns Mundane into Magic
How can we get excited about our life!!
We do the things we love of course.
You know those times when you are feeling flat, tired, bored, lethargic and just can’t seem to get yourself through the day, well that is often a tell tale sign that there is not enough good stuff in your world right now.
We gain so much energy from doing the activities that we love most.
These creative spaces fuel us.
And when we are inviting our passions in regularly, our energy is reignited and this cascades throughout the rest of our life bringing grounding and patience to spaces that would in the past drain us i.e. the dishes, cooking dinner etc.
When we have the energy in our body, we don’t seem to mind the chores, or our children’s requests, because we have the capacity to hold it all.
Mel and I share some of the spaces that really light us up, so that you can start to get curious about what this might look like for you in your life.
We also noticed that this can happen in your business space too. Again getting stuck in the jobs that feel hard (like for me the numbers and the tech!) and forgetting to put aside time in your biz for the things that you absolutely rock at!!
Infuse your life with things you love!

Episode 52. Reclaiming your VOICE
SOOOOOO passionate about this one!
Thinking back on my journey to getting more of the things I love back into my life after having children, I remember it starting with some inner work.
I first had to make time to get quiet. To get the body quiet, to get the mind quiet so I could really listen in to what it was I needed.
And part of it was remembering what was important to me in my life. Sometimes we get so easily swept away in our parenting duties, hanging out way too far in the future, and forget about what it is we need now.
I think once you get more clear on what it is that you need in your life, you can better start to speak this out to those close to you, friends and family.
And boy is it messy to begin with.
If you have kept quiet in your space for most of your life, talking about your needs to others can be a bit confronting at first.
But as you heard Mel chat about in the episode, her son is hearing what she is doing to make things happen in her life, and as she continues to hold her boundary around it, her family is now very encouraging of her choices for spending time doing the things she loves.
The key to understanding who gets to hold the boundary is knowing who this is most important too?When we want to bring something into our life, we have to be the one to take responsibility for it.
And often the first step to this when we live with other people is to let them know just how important it is to you, and why it’s important to you, and to even get brave enough to ask for their help to make it happen.
It’s surprising how much support you will receive once you speak out your needs.
Then it’s up to you to hold the boundary. It’s up to you to protect your time.
The best advice I can give you right now is to just give it a go.
Get quiet, and get clear on what it is you need, then trust yourself to speak up and make it happen.
Until next time LIVE YOUR PASSION,
Love Nat and Mel

Episode 51. REIGNITING
Mel and I with our matching T-Shirts (slightly different colours) are reigniting our passion this week for our bodies and starting to invite in what we need to keep them healthy.
It’s been a wild ride over the years, since having my children, keeping consistent in the area of my physical body health.
I’ve done the 5am club, I’ve been running, I’ve engaged PT trainers a few times, I did some strength training last term.
I do feel proud of myself for keeping my physical body health front of mind, and I know I need to work on the consistency part!
So today we are chatting about how do we keep these important things in our diary and continue to take action!
First things first, we need to be connected to ‘why’ we are doing it in the first place. This links very closely with our values.Take a listen to our recent podcast if you need some more information about this.
https://www.buzzsprout.com/2218063/episodes/15602236-50-she-shines-reconnecting-with-your-values
If it doesn’t align with what you care about in your world it will feel hard, at first, to create the consistency.
So connect in and go a little deeper. You might feel that pull to exercise, but just that alone might not be enough to get you to be consistent in that space.
I know exercise is important for me, because when I move my body it feels flexible and free. This then ties into my value of self growth, connection to self, and my value around health and keeping my body feeling well.
When we know what we are working towards that gives us the momentum to get there.
It helps us to say yes, even when it takes some extra effort to do it.
Another important tip that might help you stay consistent is to grab a buddy.As I mentioned at the start of these notes, Mel and I often buddy up to get things done! Exercise being one of them, but we also help each other stay accountable in our daily biz tasks, and self growth adventures.
Having a support system is such a great way to bust through those challenges that we can face when we are having a low week, or other things start creeping into our world and we need to keep the focus on our YES space.
The last thing is inviting some systems in your life. Being intentional about where you spend your time, and finding the gaps to make room for the things that light you up.

EPISODE 50. Reconnecting to Your Values
Have you ever thought about why you do what you do?
Why you are drawn to some things in life and not others?
Why you can always find the time and money for the things that light you up?
It’s because you are living your values. Values are the deeply held beliefs that guide your actions, decisions, and behaviors. They are the principles that you consider important in life, influencing how you interact with others, approach challenges, and determine what is meaningful to you. Values can reflect your sense of right and wrong and shape your priorities and sense of purpose.In this episode Mel and I share how our values can impact our experiences in life.
We are always having a laugh about the books we buy, the growth summits we pay to watch, the art supply shopping and somehow we find the money!!!
But two seconds later we might be a ‘no’ to the new TV our husband thinks we should buy!
It’s all based on what we value. The cool think about knowing your values, is that it can really help you with your decision making. It helps with what you say YES to and what you say NO to in our own life.
It also helps you to understand when you have a value clash with someone else including your children, or your partner.
When you start to recognise others' values, the way you communicate with each other can change.
This is why it’s so important to recognise your own first, so you can see how you go about making decisions and have a deep knowing as to why you choose certain things or experiences.
Knowing yourself is a game changer, for you and those around you.
Enjoy diving in!

Episode 49. Sparking Joy - A Trip Down Memory LaneOk so your passions may have left the building for now, but how can we start to invite them back in!
We believe that one of the first steps is to sit in a space of Remembering.
Reminiscing and looking back on all the things across your time that you loved.
Mel and I share a few in the podcast to get you thinking, but I really remember things like swinging on the swing at home, listening and singing to songs I love, changing my bedroom around, cooking yummy cakes, being creative with lego and in the sandpit, running and being outside with the animals.
Our body has a great way of inviting back in those feelings once we can tap into them, and it can ignite the spark again, as we start to get curious around what it is about those things that we really love.
One suggestion to get you moving on this is to write a ‘love list’. As you are remembering, write down all the things that you love, and you might start to see a pattern forming around the things that light you up.
You also might now notice some of those things that are missing from your life and this is where you get to make the decision to bring them back in. x
Mel and I are always on the learning train, and it’s no different when it comes to knowing ourselves.
Another way to explore and connect with yourself is to have some fun with all of the amazing tools that are out there.
I have included a few of the ones that we have used and continue to use and have found value in.
What I love most about these tools, is that you already know these cool things about yourself, but sometimes society can put a bit of a dampener on you really truly stepping into yourself from fear of being rejected.

Episode 48.I just loooooove watching people who are committed to their passion.
And not just committed, but actually enjoying their passion.
Their passion is what gives them energy, whether paid or unpaid.
It’s a beautiful thing to witness, and I think it’s what makes the world a better place.
As I explain in the podcast, I recently watched the Celine Dion documentary and I could just feel the joy in her body when she spoke about her life with singing in it.So if it feels so good, why when we become a mother, or when we get bogged down in life stress, that the first thing that goes is what makes us happy.
And we start to come up with stories to tell ourselves why we can’t have this fun in our life anymore, like ‘I don’t have enough time’, ‘I don’t have enough money’, which underneath is really about how we feel about ourselves and how much we know our worth.
And that’s ok, because now we have an opportunity to really get curious and explore what that’s about.
This takes intention. To bring something in that is important to you, it takes a recommitment to yourself, it takes radical self responsibility and you are the one to make it happen.
Mel and I are here for the ride. We know the journey well. We are right there with you.
We have both, this year, just invited back in some of our passions again, music, movement, rest and art. We are done with just talking about what we want, so now we express what we need and we find a way to bring it back.
We are each other's biggest cheerleaders and we would love to be yours too!

Podcast Episode 46. Biz Journey Woman
How many times has this happened to you in your life?You get really excited about bringing a passion back into your life, like lets say running, or swimming, or painting and within the first couple of weeks you are already struggling to find time for it.
Mel explained it well in this week’s episode when she started talking about missing her beach walks. (you can also hear my story about the Cello)
When it was summer and she had less in her work schedule she would squeeze in the best beach walks in the morning with her dog after school drop off.
Lately it’s felt a bit like a distant memory. She can’t take her dog as the dogs coat stays too wet throughout the day and her work schedule, although filled with awesome things, has started to fill in the gaps.
I asked her, ‘If you had someone to walk with, do you think you would still be going for walks on the beach?’ She answered, ‘Definitely’.
Because for most of us, having someone keep us accountable helps us keep our things in place.
A few years back I worked this out about myself, that to keep things consistent in my calendar I had to set up some outside accountability. Not always and not for everything, but it definitely helped keep the flow for me.
I love singing, so I booked in fortnightly singing lessons. I wanted to get fit, so I booked into a group training session. I am so keen to catch up with my friends so I started a Women’s circle and Friday Friends Lunch.
It works.
Mel and I know how powerful it is to have someone by your side to get you moving and to keep you moving towards your dreams.
We are so absolutely grateful for each other in our business, because we continue to support each other to make things happen. Checking in, Cheerleading, Remembering our why, Gentle reminders for tasks, Sounding Board and so much more.
We call this role the Journey Woman. And if you are finding it difficult to invite your passion back into your life or your business has been put to the side for a moment, we would love to help you to REVIVE that space with you.
AND I am pleased to report that before this episode went to air, Mel did get herself to the beach for a walk. Woooohooooooo!
Until next time LIVE YOUR PASSION,
Love Nat and Mel

EPISODE 45. Brush off the DUST
Aaaaaand hello our friends, Welcome back to Season 3 of Grab Your Keys and Go.Mel and I are very excited to share with you our first episode which introduces you to our new inspiration.
We love how the process just evolves on it’s own and can take you places you never imagined.
Since becoming Mum’s, Mel and I have both been on our own journeys of losing and inviting back in things we have been passionate about in our lives.
It started, as always, with a ‘not so subtle’ tap on the shoulder ie Mum Burnout or as I like to call it Parent Fatigue, which includes overwhelm, tiredness, Mum tantrums, guilt, people pleasing, and the big one putting yourself last.
And its here my friends, that your passions start to take a back seat, or get shelved for a later date (that never comes) slowly gathering dust and fading into the background of your life.
Now all is not lost.
Through caring conversations, awesome friends, and even sometimes some hard truths we made our way back and now our life is filled with all the good stuff.
We are not perfect, and we haven’t got it all worked out just yet.
But we can easily look at our lives and see what’s great, we can easily say YES and make room for things that light us up.
And we have even turned our passions into our vocation, coming together with all of our tools and skills to be that supportive BIZ BESTIE who can get you motivated again to REVIVE your energy for the things you love.
Again welcome to season 3, I know its going to be a blast.
Until next time LIVE YOUR PASSION,Love Nat and Mel

EPISODE 44. A New Direction
Well here we are, the end of another season of Grab Your Keys and GO.
Mel and I reflect on the journey that led us to bring this podcast to life, and how it is has also helped us along the way.
I reflect on my fav episode which was one of our very first episodes called 'The Gaps'.
This term was one of the first things that got me curious about wanting to bring in more of what I love back into my life.
It was where I noticed that if I didn't take control of the 'Gaps' then someone or something would fill it for me!
Episode 2. Time Alchemy - Transforming our GAPS into Meaningful Opportunitieshttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2218063/13250098
We also chat about how having these conversations regularly each week has allowed us to follow the breadcrumbs, and a new idea has been bubbling.
As we have been Grabbing our Keys and Going, we have noticed some very cool opportunities brewing in our world.
The statement 'from little things, big things grow' is true in our world right now, as Mel and I bring our talents and skills together to create something for the creative women out there, who has momentarily lost her mojo for her passion.
The mum world can really begin to take over and it's not just when the kids are little!
My afternoons, evenings and weekends are now taken up with sport, activities and shuffling my eldest of to work!
It can be a breeding ground for staying on the treadmill of life and we don't want that for you.
So keep your ears open for our next season starting July 17th 2024.
Until next Season,
Nat and Mel xx oo

EPISODE 43. Are you ready to REVIVE the part of YOU that you have missed?
Have you Checked in Lately?Why do we get out of sync with ourselves?
Why is it that the first thing we drop in our life when we are overwhelmed, is the thing that we love, only to squish in a number of other things that do not bring us any joy whatsoever!
And the days roll on and we start to feel like we are at capacity.
Our mood starts to change, we are a bit more short with those around us… and we can feel that something is not right, but we forge ahead anyway.
Until, like I mentioned last week, we explode.
And it’s only then that we realise, we have left all of the good stuff out of our week.
This was very apparent in recent weeks for me, when I was starting to feel a bit of that ‘squish’ which ended up with me throwing my drink bottle.
I had stopped a few things. Firstly I had stopped my regular check in practice, I had stopped my self regulation practices and I had not made a lot of room for things that I value.
So I had essentially taken out of my week, everything that feels good to me.
On top of that, I also wasn’t communicating well with anyone in my space that I was feeling squished, and that I needed some support.
When I started chatting with my mentor this was one of the first realisations that came up.
Am I living my values right now?
Is what I value in my life right now?
Am I doing lots of things that I don’t value?
The other thing that Mel and I touched on in our conversation today is that having a person to have a chat to, in your life, is GOLD.A person who is outside your family space, for those moments you can talk freely as you unveil what is really behind your big feelings.
I also find great clarity when speaking to a mentor, counselor, hypnotherapist, or someone of your choosing who can just hold the space for you while you sort it through.
So here is another reminder from Mel and I, for you, to check in with yourself regularly.
To create this consistent habit in your life, finding that quiet space, meditation, yoga, breath, journaling, sitting in stillness, whatever works for you and noticing what’s been happening in your week, and how you might be feeling in your body.
This gives you an opportunity to invite back in the things that feel good, or to have the conversations you need to have in order to bring back some harmony into your life.
We are also here for a chat if you need.
Until next time,
Nat and Mel xx oo
