In 2022-2023, the Australian Government spent $252 billion in 'health care'. Mind blowing!

A life less stressed…
Stress is a part of life whether we like it or not. There are different types of stress, some that is pretty good for us (like the nervousness before an interview), but the majority of stress we feel is of the detrimental kind - the kind that puts unnecessary strain on our minds and bodies. … Continue reading A life less stressed…
Forget resolutions. Intentions matter more.
