Last week the Lowy Institute published a serious, credible analysis of the military threat China poses to Australia. The news ran with the missiles and the bombers — because that's what makes a headline.

Here's what got missed: the risks that actually reach your household don't need a single weapon to land here. Disrupted shipping lanes. Undersea cables. Cyber attacks already sitting inside Australian infrastructure.

I spent 15 years writing the version of this analysis that goes to government. Nobody had written the version for your kitchen table — so I did.

New on the blog: what the report actually means for your household, and the five moves to make this week. Link in bio.

Futures Friday!! The Lowy Institute reported this week that China can already cut Australia’s internet - without a single missile. The median repair time for a severed undersea cable is reportedly 40 days. Here’s what that means for your phone, banking and household. I’ve written a full breakdown of the $425 billion defence strategy - what it says, what it leaves out, and 3 things you can do right now. Link in bio. And my next podcast episode goes deep on exactly this - what the Prep and Ready Pivot looks like when the threats aren’t just floods and fires anymore. Follow so you don’t miss it. 🌍

4.2 million Australians are asking themselves “what if my job is next?” That question isn’t the problem - spinning on it with no structure is. Let’s actually answer it. 👇 Follow for every week - plus for what’s shifting in the world right now.

The pivot is real. The fear behind it is real. I’m not here to knock that. But enthusiasm is not expertise. And “my data’s already out there” is not a safe strategy. Your digital footprint is an aggregate. Every tool. Every permission. Every prompt. Every platform that trains on your inputs. Before you follow someone else’s AI workflow - know what you’re actually agreeing to. Follow for the version that comes with actual context. And for those wondering, yes, I use it…safely it.

What I wish more people knew — as a former national security strategist.

Australians are woefully underprepared for what’s coming in the next 6 to 12 months.

Not because they’re not smart enough. Because nobody ever handed them the tools.

Scenario mapping is one of those tools. Governments use it. Corporations use it. It’s been locked behind expensive consultants and closed doors for decades.

No gatekeeping. No fluff. Just the real methodology — made for your actual life.

85–89% of Australians think a major crisis is coming. Fewer than 1 in 5 feel prepared.

That's not a perception problem — that's a planning gap.

Sorry, I can’t today — I have therapy. Except my therapy is finally having a strategy for my life. 🙃

If you’re a woman in your 30s, 40s or 50s feeling the weight of a world that was never designed with your future in mind — you don’t need another planner, journal or single-area coach.

You need a whole of life strategy. One that takes into account everything happening around you — rising costs, shifting careers, ageing parents, AI — and makes it personal to you.

Want to know where you stand right now? Take the free 10-question life strategy check and find out if you’re running on luck or strategy 👇

That stat is from the ANU. And it landed differently when I read it.

Because it’s not just a number. It’s a generation of people who did everything right — and still ended up feeling like something is fundamentally off.

Not failing. Not ungrateful. Just… misaligned.

Your career. Your values. The life you thought you were building toward.

If that resonates — I built something for you.

The Accelerated Futures Scan & Roadmap is free. It’s the same strategic thinking used in national security futures analysis, applied to your actual life. In under an hour, you walk away with clarity on where you are, where the pressure points are, and what your real options look like.
