About Us

Hi, my name is Liza, I’m a mother of three [ages 20, 17 and 15, boy, boy and a girl] and I live in Townsville in North Queensland - a sea change after living on 20 acres just outside of Australia’s bush capital for the last 10 years (the tree change).

Be Brave, Be Smart and Be Strong is a popular motivational quote and I’ve taken inspiration from it for Brave Smart Strong. 

Brave - be courageous
Smart - show good judgement
Strong - be true to yourself. 

These are words and intentions to live by.

After working for a number of years in youth mental health it’s really important to me that we have the skills to cope with difficult times, and develop healthy habits and practices to support good mental health.

I know that for many self care seems cliched. I used to feel the same way. Most of us are just so busy it’s difficult to find time for ourselves. 

For others, self care is a luxury and we can feel guilty taking time out to do it.

No more excuses. It’s really, really, really IMPORTANT to take care of your mind and body. Practising self care will mean you feel less stressed and overwhelmed, and better equipped to live your best life.

The Find Your Calm bracelet is your wearable self care checklist to remind you to make self care part of your every day. 

Each charm or stainless steel bead represents a different self care practice.

A donation of $1 from the sale of every charm bracelet will go to ReachOut.com (www.reachout.com) to support the good mental health of young people and support those they turn to for help: parents and carers, and schools.
