We’ve all had those weeks—where just getting through the day feels like an achievement, where our calendars are overflowing, and our energy is running on fumes. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to stay that way.
At SheThrives, we’re always on the lookout for resources that don’t just help us survive, but help us feel more organised, more connected, more grounded, and frankly—more ourselves. We’re not into hustle culture. We're into intentionality, kindness, and tools that work with us, not against us.
So here are a few of the personal and professional growth tools we’re loving right now. Whether you’re navigating freelance life, juggling work and caregiving, or just trying to find five minutes of peace—there’s something here for you.
1. Notion
If your brain has 47 tabs open at all times, Notion might just change your life. It’s part to-do list, part journal, part knowledge hub—and completely customisable.
We love using it for:
- Weekly planning: Create a dashboard to plan your days without feeling overwhelmed.
- Goal tracking: Set personal, financial, or wellness goals and track your progress in a way that feels motivating, not punishing.
- Digital journalling: Use templates like “Daily Gratitude” or “Thought of the Day” to stay centred.
It’s great for women who wear a lot of hats—whether that’s business owner, student, carer, or creative—and want to stay on top of things without burnout.

2. Insight Timer – Meditation that meets you where you’re at
There’s something beautifully radical about reclaiming stillness in a world that prizes busyness. Insight Timer offers free guided meditations, yoga sessions, and sleep tools for every level—whether you’ve been meditating for years or are just trying to catch your breath between meetings.
Our favourites:
- “Morning Grounding for Women”
- “Letting Go of Mental Clutter”
- Yoga Nidra for deep rest
It’s also trauma-informed and features voices from around the world, making it one of the most inclusive mindfulness platforms we’ve used.

3. Frollo – Budgeting that doesn’t make you feel bad
Budgeting apps often come with shamey undertones and rigid rules. Not Frollo. This Aussie-made financial wellbeing app focuses on building healthy money habits without judgment. Think of it as a kind, practical friend who gently helps you get on top of your finances.
Why we like it:
Visuals make it easy to understand where your money goes
- Set savings goals and track your progress
- Nudges to review your subscriptions and find better deals
- And yes, you can finally stop feeling guilty for forgetting where your pay went last month.

4. Podcasts
Sometimes you don’t need a tool—you just need a voice in your ears that makes you feel seen. Here are a few podcasts we’ve been plugging into lately:
- “Ladies, We Need to Talk” (ABC) – Real talk on relationships, identity, and everything in between.
- “The Broad Experience” – Honest conversations about women, work, and ambition.
- “Seize the Yay” – Hosted by Sarah Davidson, it’s a gentle blend of productivity, wellbeing, and joy.
Whether you’re commuting, cleaning, or walking the dog, these voices help us reconnect with what matters.
You Don’t Need to Do It All
If you’re feeling stretched or stuck, start small. One new habit. One new tool. One new thought.
Whether it’s a budgeting app that eases your stress, a podcast that sparks new ideas, or a five-minute morning ritual—these little acts of care add up. They remind us that we’re not just here to tick boxes. We’re here to grow, connect, and thrive.
And that’s what SheThrives is all about.
