Decompressing Stress – How to break the stress loop to improve your mental health and flourish.

There is an Apathy and resistance in the workplace today. Mental health challenges are at an all-time high. The years 20/21 were altered long enough for people to create whole new ways of being

Working from home, family and their health became priorities. That past unspoken pressure to respond immediately had disappeared, they were able to breathe again, and yet they also felt isolated and alone.

I’ve always taught ways for our bodies to be able to adapt, and we adapted to that stressful time and it changed lifestyles.

I was able to flourish when I adapted and worked from home. My surfing, my relationships, everything grew as I put that energy into the mastery of my life. There was now space for more. From co-creating a community of 2700+ local female surfers to meeting the woman of my dreams after longing to be in a committed loving relationship for years, it was all now possible

Like us, Nature is constantly evolving, not stagnant.

So what’s next?

In this keynote I share the 5 keys to rewriting the story to adapt and flourish, support mental health, decrease company attrition and achieve work life balance without sacrificing lifestyle.

I invite you to have me work with your team, so that they too can flourish amidst these times of uncertainty and transition.

Becoming Rookie Filmmakers in their 60s 

Imagine becoming a rookie filmmaker in your 60s…

That’s exactly what The Present Day Wise Woman Jennifer Jefferies and her wife Dr Alice MacKinnon (PhD) did in 2023.

They decided to disrupt the public narrative around what it means to age as a woman in today’s world and make a documentary about six women over 55 who surf on the Gold Coast. They chose to not only tell those women’s extraordinary surfing stories, but to use surfing as a metaphor about how to age bold, bright and vital.

Jen and Alice had no previous filmmaking experience. Yet, their film called “Taking Off – Tales of older women who surf” was made in five months with the leanest of budgets, generous community collaboration and maximum media exposure.

The way they “learned” how to make a documentary is a living example of how to live bold, bright and vital, just like the women surfers they filmed.

This is a story about “why not”.

In this keynote, Jen and Alice together tell their inspiring and entertaining story about becoming rookie filmmakers in their 60s. Their deep experiential learnings highlight what’s possible as we age. This keynote is for anyone wondering what their next steps are and how to grasp their dreams with vigour and determination.

Jen and Alice are both successful entrepreneurs, podcasters, surfers and are also known as The Smart Sassy Seniors.
