    • Conscious decision making 💭✨ If I had to pic Conscious decision making 💭✨ If I had to pick one thing I’ve learnt the most about in the past 5 years, it’s that. So, let’s talk about it. For me, learning how to make conscious decisions started within my own home (with my clothing, homewares, food, and self care items) so I could mindfully make less harmful and more positive decisions that would ideally benefit: a. People b. Animals c. The environment d. My health and well-being If you’re a fellow conscious-decision maker, you’ll know that usually, the conscious decisions we make in the current time, tend to go against the grain – what we choose isn’t usually the current norm and sometimes precisely for that reason; because we want to BE the change that leads to some sort of small revolution. So what happens if, say: 1. You’ve got a decision to make 2. You think pretty critically about it, ask the important questions, do your research, sit with it a while and… 3. Come to the conclusion that the social norm is what you’re landing with Oh no!!! Am I… a SHEEP?! If you’ve been going against the grain for so long, making a decision that fits with the popular side of culture can feel sooo wrong, weird, and even suspicious. Here to remind you that: a conscious decision is a conscious decision. It doesn’t make you a sheep if, after critical thought, you side with the research, science, or what other people are doing. If you know what I mean, you know what I mean. Thoughts?
    Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve pos Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo ✨ What an awesome 19 days of reels it’s been so far. Welcome if you’re new here! My name’s Molly. Thought I’d introduce myself so here are some things about me: 👉 I’ve been working for my own businesses full time since I was 21, first my blog/social media and also for my marketing business @faraicreative, and more recently for our community NFP @wa.ethicalcollective 🧡 👉 The last overseas place I visited was Timor-Leste in July 2018, I’ve been travelling and exploring locally since then but hope to see a different country again soon 👉 I’m a Leo sun, Pisces moon, Aries rising, if you’re curious ✨ 👉 The last album I listened to was Blue Weekend by Wolf Alice cause Glenn played in the car and then I was hooked 👉 The first album I ever bought on CD is the Shrek soundtrack (I’m not sure if that says anything about me hahah) 👉 A mixture of interests in fashion, wellness, and travel catapulted me into researching and educating about ethics in business and sustainability, but I would say I’ve always been deeply passionate about a fair, safe, and healthy world 👉 Right now I’m very interested in the concept of embodiment and how we can explore embodiment to heal ourselves and the earth - a bit of that for me is reconnecting with parts of my culture through language and stories 👉 I recently learned the Dutch word ‘uitwaaien’ which is apparently used to describe the exercise of going out into windy weather in nature to refresh oneself and one’s mind. It literally translates to ‘blow out’ 🌬 love it!! What about you? Introduce yourself and let me know something about you! What’s your favourite thing to do right now? What’s your sign? What’s the first album you ever bought?

    Last night I walked outside to empty the recycling Last night I walked outside to empty the recycling bin. The crisp winter air hit my lungs like a loud, “hello, I’m here!” 🌬 It’s been a while since I walked outside and breathed air so light. There have been occasions over the past 2 years where I would step outside and inhale thick city smog as I walked past a row of townhouses to our communal bins. Something so simple as last night, stepping out, wandering through our own front garden, and taking in the vast southern sky felt like such a relief. I’ve been stumbling across a lot of these moments lately. Staying up past Glenn falls asleep, with Dinah on my thigh, under our own roof on our quiet street thinking, “how can it get any better than this?” 😌✨ Even in this terrible chaos, even in this challenging time, gratitude continues to knock on my door, popping in and surprising me every time. In these moments, I’m not sure what to do next. I haven’t been sure for a few months now. There are many paths before me. I know that. But I think I’m comfortable staying right here, with Glenn asleep next to me and Dinah on my thigh, as I dream into the southern sky, cradled between the oak moss walls of our own home on our quiet street... for just a little while longer 💚
    I don't have the answers, but I have a lot of ques I don't have the answers, but I have a lot of questions. What's more important to you: soul work or social justice work? Can you even separate the two?
