G’Day Lovelies
Hello, I’m Mel, the creator of The {Semi} Sorted Life. My mission is to help others achieve harmony and joy in their lives. I started this platform after spending ten years as a stay-at-home mum, where I learned valuable skills that I now use in my human services career.
These skills include time management, organization, multitasking, problem-solving, and communication. In addition to my experience, I’ve completed courses in counseling, mental health, and social work. These courses have helped me better understand the struggles that individuals and families face. Therefore, I believe that everyone needs someone to talk to, rally for them and champion their efforts.
Ultimately, my goal is to offer one-on-one coaching, online courses, and workshops to help you achieve your goals. I want to share my knowledge with others and help them grow and learn.
In the meantime I hope to share my experiences here.
Something Personal
As a full-time working mother of four children at varying stages of development, my days are always busy and full of challenges. However, having one child with autism and ADHD has made me extra attentive and mindful of their unique needs. This experience has raised my awareness of the challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals, and it has made me more empathetic towards them. In fact, I sometimes wonder if I am neurodivergent myself.
Because of this I am mindful in ensuring I practice self compassion and recognise my own challenges related executive functioning, focus and attention. This is also why I began to create resources that help me to achieve harmony in my days.
Anxiety and depression are two issues that have also affected my life in many ways. At times, they have made it difficult for me to enjoy things that I used to love. It has taken a lot of effort, but I am determined to find effective strategies to manage my mental health and lead a fulfilling life, despite these challenges.
Another challenge that I face is my unhealthy relationship with food. It has contributed to low self-esteem, and it has been an issue for me for many years. However, I am committed to overcoming this challenge and living a healthier life. I have tried many diets and exercise programs, but none seem to work for me. Nevertheless, I am not giving up. I am determined to find a solution that works for me, and I know that I will succeed eventually.
Creating a community
Overall, everyone faces their own set of challenges and obstacles in life, and it’s up to us to acknowledge them and work to improve ourselves. Facing our challenges head-on can make us stronger and more resilient. I am grateful for the experiences that have shaped me and excited to continue growing and learning.
If you’re struggling with similar issues, know that you’re not alone. We can overcome challenges by supporting each other and working together. That’s why I created “The Semi Sorted Life” – to provide a space where we can support each other and work towards our goals.
Years ago, I began posting videos on YouTube to stay accountable, connect with others, and explore my creativity. As a result, through my channel, (formally known as “For the Love of Sorted”), I formed a community called ourselves “Team Sorted” or #teamsorted.
This community has been inspiring and supportive, motivating me to pursue my goals. I connected with people worldwide who share similar interests.
I believe sharing personal journeys with others can be a powerful tool for growth and development. We learn from each other, improve and hold ourselves accountable. I’m grateful to be part of such an amazing community and invite you to join us on this journey!
Achieving a Happy Life
To summarise the above, to achieve a happy life, focus on progress, not perfection. Striving for perfection is impossible. My blog offers helpful resources for simplifying and enjoying your life.
Join the #teamsorted community of like-minded individuals working towards a better life. Whether you’re just starting out or have been working at it for a while, there’s a place for you here. Together, we can embark on this journey towards personal growth and fulfillment.
