Life be lifeing
I fear I found the best solution to my depression and poor productivity and hate to report it is working out. Haven’t done it consistently for over 3 yrs, and wooo am I back to square one, but twenty minutes of movement each day has really helped my mental state and my overall attitude. Life has been kicking my families ass for the better part of a year, and this small thing has been helping me cope.
Been doing the Grow With Jo workouts on YouTube, lots of beginner friendly workouts and no equipment needed!

Go get tested for ADHD and if you qualify get on adderall immediately. It will change your entire life. If you have an addictive personality, ignore this comment.
I understand. Yes I would definitely consider getting back into it. Maybe just to get back on your toes and help your mind sort through things. Prayers for you.
There is a saying in my dance community it says “depression can’t hit a moving target”. By walking moving dancing exercising you are introducing endorphins, dopamine, adrenaline- happy hormones which combat cortisol, the stress hormone. That’s why the most emotionally stable and happiest people you’ll see out there are dancers, or have a physical sport/hobby they do. They are generally more happier people. Exercise and dance is SO good for us in many ways so keep it up!! I prefer fitness classes myself, and esp salsa lessons and social dancing.

Looking for my girly group
okay where is my girly group because i know you’re hiding somewhere 😭
i’m looking for a little group of girls around brisbane who actually want genuine friendships — coffee/matcha dates, brunch, cute little outings, shopping, walks, dinners, playdates if you have kids, sending each other stupid reels and eventually getting to the point where we can just show up at each other’s houses looking feral 😂
i’m a mum of two but you definitely don’t have to be a mum. i’d actually love a mix of girls where our entire friendship doesn’t revolve around being parents.
i’m into beauty, skincare, books, reality tv, spirituality/psychic stuff, cute outfits, y2k everything and having conversations that somehow go from completely unserious to deep life shit within five minutes.
i’m not looking for the “we should totally catch up!!” and then never speak again type of friendship 😭 i want my actual girls. group chat, spontaneous plans, checking in on each other, celebrating birthdays, the whole thing.
bonus points if you’re a little introverted, a little unhinged and also wondering how adults are supposed to make proper friends 😂
where are youuuu 🤎

SAHM + Blue collar husband = solo parenting most of the day
Anyone else have a blue collar husband and tends to be solo parenting, on survival mode while they work long hours ? It gets lonely here and could use some relatable connections! 🫶🏻

Happy mail!?
Is anyone interested in sending each other "happy mail" once or twice a month? Maybe we create things and share them with one another or maybe sometimes we can just gift one another things we find that the other person might like. We can be virtual friends and talk and make each other feel special with little packages that we can look foward to ❤️

Looking for mama friends 🧡
I’d love to find some mums who can relate to this 🤍
I’ve been feeling a little extra alone lately, and I’ve realised how much I miss having that “someone checking in on you” kind of support.
I lost my mum when I was little, and my dad isn’t present in my life. I also have a pretty complicated/dysfunctional family situation, so I don’t really have that parent or family network that a lot of people naturally have around them.
I’m a mum myself now, and sometimes it hits me that there isn’t really anyone who’s going to randomly call and ask, “Are you okay? How are you coping with the kids?” — and I think I’m craving that kind of mutual support and friendship.
I’m not looking for sympathy at all. I’d actually love to hear from other mums who have a similar experience — whether you’ve lost a parent, are estranged from family, have an absent parent, or just don’t have much of a family support system.
It would be so lovely to make some friendships where we can check in on each other, have a chat when things feel hard, celebrate the good stuff together, and just know there’s someone who gets it. 🥹🤍
If this sounds like you too, please message me. I’d genuinely love to connect.
