It All Began When Life Turned Upside Down!

My8dayweek was established in 2012. During that time, the heart of the brand was captioned in three words:



As it officially launches in 2021, these carefully selected words still carry much weight as we embark into a Brand New Season.

TUTORING, COACHING, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

High 5s! Bring it on!

I’m not going to lie, but making peace with the past was not an easy task.

To speak of it lightly I call it The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Colourful stories that define who we are at the core and what we truly stand for.

For me, my first huge chapter of my life (the first half, literally) was riddled with poor mind management and a whirlpool of “backward thinking.” It was not just my backward thinking but rather the pool of people that made up my core team; people I was leaning on for professional advice, support and wisdom.

No finger pointing here: but in hindsight, most of my pain, mental anguish and suffering was, …avoidable!

That was a bitter pill, I finally swallowed, and let be part and parcel of my past life - as painful as it was!

So many years (decades, in fact!) of doing the mundane, living like it was 1973; all so unbelievably, pointless, disturbing and…yes, crazy too!

I realised that there was (absolutely) no need to be swept up in ongoIng nightmares; seasons of “amazing” followed by the downward spiral of depression and months wasted in recovery, time and time again.

It was a rollercoaster ride I just had to get off!

“If you ever loose yourself…reinvent yourself…”

Meanwhile, God (in His infinite wisdom) was orchestrating a fresh new season to
step into…another world where truth, revelation, clarity, love and purpose was big
and greater…While I was in a time-warp, which from my research, proved to be 30 years or more behind time… at the same time new dynamic paradigms were being rewritten in history and my new support system, was literally, a book, a blog post or podcast away…!

Flip the Script

As I understand and embrace my own unique story, as well as, pen my personal
takeaways, pearls of wisdom and revelations about life, I have found my my8dayweek mojo once again!

Within one year, I halted the rollercoaster, launched this website, created the
humble beginning of my podcast, planned a two-day wedding within 6 months
(while in and out of Melbourne’s infamous lockdown), found and purchased a house with my now-hubby, and formed a creative team behind my8dayweek, turning it into a company mid 2021.

Armed with this knowledge, I have managed to (literally) collapse time and teach
more and more people how to *Invent Your Own Time Machine.*

Specifically for Female Entrepreneurs, I unpack my methodology for life and
business owners called *The Time Hacker Method.*

HOW TO: Make Time, Save Time, & Multiple Time.

Now, I seek to be that person who is with *The Times* - not caught up in half truths, plain lies from decades ago, or just to be honest, be plain ignorant and ill informed! I know how dangerous that is and can be, and I do not wish that upon anyone. It’s a huge calling in itself - bringing awareness to mind management, trauma and recovery - aka Reinventing One’s Life Story.

As a trained educator and after navigating the education ecosystem for over 14
years, I am fuelled by this Life’s Assignment - with passion & purpose.

I wake up with a lighter yoke, a heart full of gratitude and a mission that will keep my days and weeks busy doing projects I absolutely LOVE.

My intention is that we learn more about subjects (under Health, Life’s Assignments & Relationships) that are real, raw and relevant.

There is no need to overcomplicated life.
There is no need to be confused about our priorities.
There is no need to suffer in silence.
There is no need to be ignorant.
There is no need to remain “stuck” or live in the past.
There is no need to glorify mainstream ideologies.

By being resourceful, we have answers to solutions, often at our fingertips.
By being educated, we can become the best version of ourselves #OnRepeat.
By making peace with the past, we can be FULLY PRESENT,
And we can find our unique calling for our FUTURE MOMENTS.
Ready, energised, without the Cookie Cutter Mentality,
We can now step boldly into our own Life’s Assignments.

…the momentum is building, the jigsaw pieces are set*, your test is becoming your testimony…

Are you ready for your #NextLevel?

I’m here to help you, lead you, guide you and share powerful life-changing
resources…

My intention is to:
Discover and Highlight Your Strengths
Build Resilience
Keep your Mind and Body Healthy
Develop Realistic and Practical Plans
Help You Manage Your Finances Well
Teach on proven Hacks, Tips, Tricks and Tools

Ås we get into our Time Machine and go seeking after those *key* remaining jigsaw
pieces to complete our understanding of our unique stories, understand our Life
Assignments…and be empowered to live your Best Life Now.

*My* Favorite Things

*Girlfriends keep us grounded. Girlfriends are there for you through thick and thin and offer many different outlooks and perspectives to the setbacks ands tribulations of life. They can provide laughter in times of heartache and a shoulder to cry on*

Befriending someone who’s a positive influence can help you in making important and necessary decisions to live a meaningful and purpose-driven-life.

Meet up

Meetup (www.meetup.com) is a social networking site that allows you to find and join groups related to your own personal interests. However, instead of just talking about these interests online (from your laptop lifestyle), Meetup is used to organise online and (better still) in-person meetings in your area.

At my8dayweek we have 3 groups that we manage, all based in Melbourne, Australia. However, from time-to-time there are events that are 100% online and therefore can definitely cater to our international audience as well.


Over the years we have run Events, including:
* Unpacking our Coffee Cafe Culture
* Workshops on Branding, Marketing and Mentoring
* Art Exhibitions + Markets
* Movie Outings + Jazz Nights + Karaoke Sessions
* Fashion shows, festivals and MUCH, MUCH MORE!

frequently asked questions

FAQ

What is the meaning of my8dayweek?

At my8dayweek we embrace being multi-passionate and making every day count for something special.

The infinity symbol, a figure eight on its side, signifies the concept of limitlessness or eternity, especially as used notationally in mathematics and metaphorically with respect to love.

8 is the luckiest number in Chinese culture because 八 sounds like 發 (fa), which means "wealth", "fortune" and "prosper" in Chinese. Multiples of eight are even better as 88 bears a resemblance to 囍 (shuāng xǐ), or "double happiness".

In dance, a measure is usually “musically paired” with a second measure. These two measures equal a total of 8 counts, which is why dancers count in sets of 8. One set of 8 is like a sentence.

Furthermore, without giving away too much, Stephanie (my8dayweek’s founder) has many 8’s in her birthdate. How blessed, ya-huh!

There are 7 days in a week; Why have you added an extra day in my8dayweek?

The extra day begs the question:

What would you do with an extra day in the week (all to yourself, with no one else’s agenda to worry about)?

The answer reveals a lot about one’s true passion and interests, revealing how you wish to spend the most precious asset you have - time.

How is my8dayweek linked to the Meetup girls groups?

We run and manage three Meetups in total:

* Melbourne Girls in the City
* Friends to Besties
* Business Besties

Almost all of our events are listed on the Meetup platform. This is the main platform we use to share the latest information relating to Things to See and Do.

For ticketed events we use Eventbrite.
