Is it just me or does it feel like 2025 is already moving at a hurtling pace?
It honestly feels like we were just celebrating Christmas and the end of 2024, and then *BLINK* we’re all of a sudden already in the back half of January.
Like WHAT THE!
Where have the last 20 days gone?! Honestly, how is it already the 20th of January! Before we know it it’ll be Easter, Anzac Day, the King’s Birthday, Melbourne Cup … and then BOOM(!!) we’ll be at Christmas again.
Anyhoo.
With the new year off to a rapid-paced start, it’s got me thinking about my blog …
… which, well, hasn’t gotten off to any form of rapid start — it’s moving at more of a glacial pace at the moment because a) there’s been A LOT going on for us personally (all good things, I promise! #life) and b) I’ve been spending a little too much time pondering the direction of the blog and where I want to take things in 2025 rather than actually writing blog posts, hmm.
So, while Miss A is napping next to me and I’ve got a few precious moments to myself, I thought I’d kick off 2025 for oh my gosia (OMG) with a post about where I’d like to take things this year.
If you’re a regular OMG reader, don’t fret, things aren’t changing too much. If you’re new here, WELCOME and I really, really hope you enjoy and are entertained, inspired, and somewhat educated by the posts!
So. Where do I want OMG to go in 2025?
Well, firstly, looking back, OMG began as a small, personal, side project — a little creative outlet.
Since then it’s had various iterations as I’ve tried to decide what I want to focus on.
And since giving birth to Miss A, the natural progression and direction OMG has taken has been towards navigating womanhood, motherhood, health and wellness, careers, and all the messy moments in between.
It’s a place where, especially over the past 12 months, I’ve explored the beautiful complexities of being a woman, a new mum, the challenges of balancing family life and career, and the ongoing pursuit of health and wellness.
So, where to in 2025?
Well, it might be a little ambitious, but this year my goal is to continue growing OMG into a lifestyle space for health conscious mums, working mums, and women at every stage of life.
I want this to be a place where the stories shared and the posts published inspire and ignite action, where the advice is real and authentic and where you can find inspiration to carve out your own path.
I’ll be sharing more of my journey, too, and the path that I’m on as I continue to navigate motherhood, work/career, health and wellness, and everything in between — the victories, vulnerable moments and the lessons learnt along the way.
Speaking of our individual paths, as part of the OMG Conversations series, I hope to bring you more interviews with fellow badass mummas who inspire and inform on all sorts of topics ranging from health and wellness, fitness, business and career growth, parenting, travel, and more!
I don’t pretend to have all the answers in the motherhood-lifestyle space, and I’m certainly not a curated ‘tradwife’ or some other lifestyle influencer that you might see on social media.
I honestly cannot stand the social media influencer culture! Can you tell? Ha! Like, I mean … what exactly are they influencing? ANYWAY.
But that’s what makes OMG authentic!
The content is real. It’s not curated. It’s done by ME and not a team of content creators … mainly during Miss A’s nap times, on the days I’m not working.
OMG isn’t about perfection or, let’s be honest, unattainable ideals.
Because who has ever grown or evolved from curated perfection?!
We grow and evolve from showing up, making mistakes, and being honest, even when things are messy and complicated … and when you’re exhausted to the point where your eyeballs feel like they are literally about to pop out of your head! HA!
It’s all about real women — real mothers — pursuing lives that feel vibrant, balanced, authentic and … UNAPOLOGETICALLY OURS.
Like, I mean … SO WHAT if the kitchen sink is full of dirty dishes, the ironing hasn’t been done, deadlines have come and gone … and we’re still in our pj’s at 4 in the afternoon … HOORAH! … That’s life, babe!
So, here’s to 2025!
It’s going to be the year of intentional growth, learning, stories that inspire, and a celebration of motherhood and womanhood and everything in between.
Bring it on!
And hey, thanks for being here. Hopefully you’ll want to stay 🙂
OK … gtg. Miss A is starting to wake.
