Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea

With Miguel Maestro & Barry Du Bois.
Beautiful morning attending Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea last week, hosted by Cancer Council ambassadors Miguel Maestre and my mate, Barry Du Bois.

Baz opened up and shared bravely about his own battle with cancer and just how significant our contribution to cancer research is.

In our lifetime, we’ll either hear ourselves or someone else say the words: “I have cancer”.  It affects us all.  Personally, supporting this cause means so much to me.

I’ve learned that drinking tea is a very Australian thing.  That it’s what families do to gather, catch up and just connect with one another to talk about real life.  That’s the significance of why we drank tea at this event too.

How Great Thou Art – Tribute 4 Audrey

It’s been a year to the day that I lost my beautiful second mom, Audrey Phillips, to cancer. This video is not only a tribute to honor her legacy, but to also uplift anyone facing a similar situation.

Love you, Audrey, miss you so much…

JMA Open Night

JMA Open Night

I recently hosted the JMA Entertainment’s Open Night.

JMA are responsible for forming Justice Crew and also for grooming talent.  Jai Waetford, Omar Dean and myself all underwent training and preparation at JMA ahead of The X-Factor last year, so it was an honor to give back by hosting their Open Night.

Judging from the exciting new crop of talent I saw perform, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few of them on our screens again this year.

Going crayyy with X-Factor fam, Adirabelle :p.

Reunion with some of my X-Factor fam.  Always good.  Spent an incredibly special, life-changing moment in time with these guys (and all the rest of the Top 12).  Proud of everyone and so excited about what's to come...

Real Words From The Real Me

Man, it’s a new page in my life in so many ways.

I’m learning a lot, growing a lot, living a lot and being challenged more than ever before.  I’m becoming so much more OK with actually not having all the answers, and realizing:

“You know what, I don’t have to strive to be perfect anymore, or be anything other than just … me.”  

A lot of times, I have to consciously fight and rebel against perfectionism, because for so long it had a strong grip on me.  It’s not my natural bent.  Perfectionism really enslaved me most of my life, but last year – after a series of events and a culmination of experiences – something just broke inside.

Ever since that moment, it’s been like meeting someone new for the first time.

2014 is all about continuing along that new path.  Wanna thank everyone who’s been in my corner, whether you’re close to me or supporting from afar.  That you love, encourage and have my back means the world – for real.

I’ve never been more excited about life.  Let’s get it!
