Do you know what I felt grateful for as soon as I woke today? Sleep. Seven magical consecutive hours of sleep. 😴 Sleep works wonders.I remember dramatically howling “I’ll never get 8hrs sleep again!” on a call to my Mum when our firstborn was 10 days old, feeling genuinely, utterly devastated. To which she replied, “of course you will” (Mums are wise 😉). Sleep deprivation was one of the toughest things about the early years of motherhood for me. I took this photo at 3:09am when our twins were newborns, so I had a record of what was actually real amongst the fog of 2-3hrs sleep/day in the early weeks.I can’t distinguish between baby brain or tiredness, but my confidence was smashed by the effects of both during the years of little babies. I hated that I couldn’t think, concentrate or remember things like I used to! It really got me down. Particularly during business conversations when I felt like I could barely articulate anything clearly. So I gradually said less.The mental and physical effects of sleep deprivation are real, not imagined, and on reflection I think: no wonder I felt like that, I was so lacking in sleep! We joke about it as Mums, but sleep deprivation has a huge impact on our wellbeing.A note of encouragement to Mums still living this: I feel for you, and hang in there! You WILL get more sleep again. It is bloody hard but it will get better. You will think clearly again. You will remember things again. You will be able to focus and make decisions again. It will improve in time, and in the meantime close your eyes (even if only for 10 minutes to rest!) as much as you can. Don’t lose faith in yourself!🌟Of course, if you are concerned about anything, don’t hesitate to seek help. 💕#babydays #newborndays #babybrain #sleepdeprivation #newbornmum #newbornmom #youwillgetthroughthis #sleepisimportant #mentalhealth #maternalmentalhealth #motherhood #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodconversations #benitabensch ...

A post for the ladies on the land. Here goes...I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, listening and writing around the concept of identity.What’s surfaced for me is this question about the labels we adopt for ourselves that name ‘what we do’ to help define and describe ‘who we are.’Some labels we willingly choose, others seem to be thrust upon us.There is one label I deliberately don’t apply to myself, or accept from others, and that is ‘Farmer’s Wife.’My husband isn’t referred to as a Farmer’s husband. Likewise, I am not a Farmer’s wife. He is a Farmer. I am a Farmer. Together we are Farmers, engaged in agriculture. Together we share in the roles of running an agricultural business, which takes place both inside and outside.Now, each to their own. I am a big believer in - do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be yeeeahhh (that song will be stuck in your head now, sorry). You may lovingly embrace this label, and that is wonderful.But it’s not for me.And I want to say to other rural women that you don’t have to be outside doing all the hard yakka to be a Farmer. You may hardly have a thing to do with the farming operations, but please value yourself as an integral part of your agribusiness.I work as a Coach with the Farm Owners Academy and see women who may have identified with the label of ‘Farmer’s wife’ for no reason other than they didn’t feel worthy of calling themselves farmers. I watch them transform as they begin to recognise the immense value they bring to their farming businesses.Whether you are the one on the horse, motorbike, tractor, doing the books, running meals out, feeding the animals, helping shift paddocks, coordinating marketing, managing logistics, making sandwiches, making $million decisions, hiring staff, opening gates, WHATEVER your role is... YOU ARE IMPORTANT. You are a Farmer too. You are a team.Choose your labels wisely because they shape your identity, and the course of your life!***What are your thoughts on this? How do you see yourself? Please share with me as I’d really love to know...#farmlife #farmer #ruralwomen #agricultureaustralia #agribusiness #selfimage #selfworth #womeninagribusiness ...

I can't wait for this!Creating space for women to speak up about navigating fertility is an important way to smash stigmas surrounding infertility and IVF. That's why we're excited to join up with the amazing advocate for women's voices, Women's Agenda to hold a webinar discussion on that very topic. The lunchtime session will feature The Pink Elephants Support Network CEO Samantha Payne, IVF Mum Melissah Bell (not the actor) and Benita Bensch - Author. We hope you'll join us on 14 April.

I’ve posted a lot of fancy photos and fancy words lately. Although they are the real me too, this is really the real me. No makeup, messy bun, work shirt, joggers on, preparing dinner for our family on a Sunday arvo.It’s been so nice to have a slow, wet weekend at home and to catch up on sleep after a lot of travelling and sick kids (and farewelling my Pop on Monday 😢❤️).This has been my day:- Cuddles with the boys 🥰 - Run/walk with Winnie- Shower because the loving Lab made me so dirty 🐶- Pancakes- Study- House jobs- Planning for the week- More preparation for my Illuminate coaching program for mothers starting Tuesday! Yay!- Bike riding and fun outside time with the boys- Taking care of little people 🍲💩So grateful for my life! Not by luck or chance, but by design.And I’m so excited for another week ahead doing what I love supporting others to live a life by their design. 🌟Using one word or emoji only, tell me what’s been the best thing about your day?#sunday #slowsunday #farmlifebestlife #farmlife #lifewithboys #organisedfortheweek #coach #mum #author #farmer #mumof4 #mumofboys #lovemylife #therealme ...
