I speak with my psychologist, practice my culture by sitting in nature and I love to ground myself by walking barefoot on country. My business is Wiradjuri Wave where I am a full time artist and facilitator which I enjoy. Lately I haven’t felt motivated to exercise much however I love to swim in the ocean when the weather is warmer.
