SUMMARY:Wellbeing Circles exploring Worry and Doubt
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly community Wellbeing Circles allow for purposeful conversations to explore topics relating to foundations of wellbeing.  \nThe sessions provide a unique opportunity to pause and consider your overall wellbeing\, connect with others\, explore these deep themes through the reading of quotations\, stories and writings and by discussing their implications on health and wellbeing.   \nWhen working with clients to achieve personal goals\, I find it can be helpful for them to link with others on a similar pathway.  Connecting within a small ‘community’ enables individuals to feel supported\, gain clarity and find a level of accountability.  \nExamples of topics – Giving\, A Sense of Time\, Detachment\, Service\, Wisdom\, Love\, Honesty\, Gratitude \nPlease register for the final sessions now so you don’t miss out on exploring these three topics: Wednesday 9 September @ 7:30pm with the Theme – Worry & Doubt \nWednesday 14 October @ 7:30pm with the Theme – Trustworthiness \nWednesday 11 November @ 7:30pm with the Theme – Generosity These New Pathways Wellbeing Circles are held monthly\, are free to clients\, the general public\, family and friends.  All are welcome.  Please register to attend and confirmation details for the next session will be sent to you.  \nWe provide a safe space to reflect and make connections with like-minded individuals.

SUMMARY:The Manager is Me
DESCRIPTION:The Manager Is Me is a funny\, moving solo theatre work about the invisible labour of caring\, parenting\, working and somehow trying to hold onto yourself in the middle of it all. \nWritten and performed by 2025 Victorian Australian Poetry Slam Champion Dayna Fallon\, the show draws on her own experience of caring for her husband through complex health issues while raising three young children and working. \nThrough comedy\, spoken word and theatre\, The Manager Is Me shines a light on the emotional and practical work carers do every day — often quietly\, often behind closed doors\, and often without even thinking of themselves as carers. \nIt is a show about being the person everyone relies on\, making people laugh when things are falling apart\, and what happens when the person doing all the caring finally needs care too. \nFunny first\, but with real emotional weight underneath\, The Manager Is Me aims to help carers feel seen and to encourage audiences to recognise the caring work happening around them every day. \nPerforming at The Salon\, The Motley Wherehaus\, as part of Melbourne Fringe 2026.
