Title

Our little Bella has crossed the rainbow bridge.

We are heartbroken. No-one knows her true age but the vet believes she was about 16 years old.

She had such a horrible start to her life being abused in a puppy farm and forced to have litter after litter.

Her foster Mum, @kaystarr6042 from @dog_rescue_newcastle nursed her back to health and cared for her after having her prolapsed uterus fixed and all of her teeth removed. She barely had any fur.

Darren and I took over and loved her until her fur grew back and she felt safe again.

We gave her an alternate backstory of being a respected madam in a Kings Cross brothel who regaled everyone with the stories of what she had seen.

She needed her eye removed this year which simply added to her character.

She loved running on the beach and would give happy “bop bop” barks. Even without teeth she devoured fish and chicken and would eat dry puppy food by throwing it back like a pill. She was a survivor.

She was fiercely loyal would defend our home with all her might Xena Princess Warrior style.

We thought she had mammary cancer but the surgery showed they were just fatty deposits (only our dog would fake cancer to get free lipo) She had a heart murmur, and seizures but in the end it was dementia that stole her from us.

We told her we’d give her a “furever home” and we did. She’s now buried in our yard.

Darren, Mr Barkley, Maui and I have a Bella-shaped hole in our hearts.

I’ll be taking a few days off social media while I grieve.

We hope she crossed that rainbow bridge and some of the many puppies she had were waiting for her on the other side.

RIP Bella Bella Lovely

Had an incredible time providing media and podcast training for the amazing team at @carersnsw today.

Thrilled to be collaborating with the inspiring CEO Elena Katrakis and her immensely talented crew!

There's a community of 850,000 carers in NSW diligently caring for loved ones with disabilities, mental health issues, or addictions - the true unsung heroes who deserve our support.

The caregivers need their own support too.

In case you are someone who is providing these vital services, or know someone who does, do check www.carersnsw.org.au to discover the array of support available.

Also, treat yourself to “YC Bytes”, an insightful podcast specifically designed for the 82,000 young caregivers under 25 who juggle their duties along with school, uni or their first jobs - often unaware they are even carers.

Today was a really good day working with good people.

I knew the day would come when my regular @thetodayshow segment would go to the dogs… well dog farts actually!

@davidcampbell73 @belinda.russell and @mark_burrows and I discussed this stinker this morning.

Strangely Mark was team dog… we think it’s so he has someone else to blame! 😉

Dress: @leinaandfleur #gifted
Earrings: @boldaslovejewellery MY 50th birthday present from Mum and Dad! Diamond and topaz!

A sign of a brilliant birthday is I haven’t been on my phone for 24hrs.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes and love. The Shellabration was relaxed, fun and heartfelt.

I arranged a boat for 20 family and 10 friends who live locally (except @jeaninebribosia & @thewinebite who flew in)

My Mum and Aunty Gayle did an outstanding job on the catering. There were even lollie bags!

Dad gave a beautiful speech.

Every one except two newbies (looking at you @drginacleo & Mitch) knew me for 15 years or longer.

Moving back to Queensland has truly felt like coming home. My heart is full.

Ooooh big news coming Monday night!

I’ve been MCing events and doing public speaking for decades.

And I have never been on stage without rehearsing at least three times.

It’s my 5Ps motto - Prior Preparation Prevents Piss-poor Performance.

This event was special for @businesschicks and Jacinda Ardern. So I rehearsed a bit more!

Big day filming 22 training videos for @fiddesaustralia with CEO @trace_astin and technical director @wynessmelissa

Darren is an expert at lighting and filming with green screen.

But we have never filmed so many videos in one day.

Massive team effort.

Excellent preparation.

And well deserved champagne at the end!

I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Today this t-shirt is a LIE!

I hate going to the dentist more than anything in the world.

I’d rather have a colonoscopy than a filling. I wish they would knock me out and wake me up when it’s done.

I’ve had a hole in my back tooth that I have been managing for EIGHT YEARS. Yep they found it before my wedding but I just couldn’t bring myself to get it filled.

Finally it got sensitive enough that I got it fixed today and it was a massive job.

I cried. I am such a baby.

The dentist was lovely and she was a quick as possible.

I’m happy to have Botox needles in my face but there’s something about dentist needles into my gums that puts me over the edge.

Why am I like this?!

Only @thetodayshow can make me love Mondays.

I love starting my week fired up on Today’s Take - one of the topics was recent school yard violence against students and teachers.

Would security guards help?

Yep.

And so would expelling the shits who are violent. CONSEQUENCES!

Not sure if my glam hair and make up matches the topic!

Excited to give a keynote address about Menopause in the Workplace with @doctorginni for Private Health Australia.

Darren has officially had the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

He won not one but TWO meat trays at the Palmy Surf Club!

My @9honey interview with @menopause_doctor is now LIVE. Click the link in my bio to read and watch more video.

Dr Louise Newson, is one of the UK’s top menopause specialists, and she believes medical misogyny is to blame for the poor treatment of menopausal anxiety and depression. That has ruffled a lot of feathers in the UK medical fraternity and she has come under fire. But she’s not putting up with the bullying.

She’s coming to Australia in October to speak at the inaugural Asia-Pacific Conference On
Women’s Mental Health brought to you by @her_mental_health to discuss the connection between menopause and mental health.

Thank you @prof_jayashri_kulkarni for connecting us and for hosting such a vital conference.

Bring on that hug in October!

Guess who’s 58 today!

DARREN!

Making my life (and my selfies) more entertaining since 2012!

Mr Barkley, Bella, Maui, Tweaky and I love you to bits.

Tonight we are having a no fuss dinner at the Surf Club with no guests just as you asked.

If you win a meat tray it will be your perfect day! ♥️♥️♥️

Very exciting interview with the one and only @menopause_doctor that will be on @9honey tomorrow

Dr Louise Newson is a menopause guru from the UK and is creating waves by flipping the bird to the establishment globally while actually helping every day women.

She’s the Oprah of menopause!

I can’t wait to share it with you. And yes I fan-girled.

Oh and I’m wearing a new @leinaandfleur dress #gifted #notsponsored which I think is now my new favourite.

Good day all round!
