But ask Carrie what her morning routine is like, and the busy of mum of three is no different to the rest of us.

"I'm usually woken by my two-year-old around 5:30am. My morning routine has been a little different this year due to lockdown, but the rush of the school routine is back - so the mornings are usually a bit manic in our house," said Carrie.

"Brekky, making lunches, wrangling the kids to get into their uniforms, searching under the couch for lost school shoes, all while keeping one eye on breakfast TV so I know what's happening in the world!"

"I am a little ashamed to say the first thing I do once I am awake is check my phone and then go make a cup of coffee."

Honestly, same.

Since trudging through lockdown after lockdown, Carrie - like most of us - is just trying to get back on track.

And of course we want to know all about it.

So, we sat down with Carrie to talk about all things health and wellness, including five small changes she's making to help improve her lifestyle and overall health.

1. Moving her body.

If you've been in and out of lockdown more than you can count, you'll know what we mean when we talk about feeling completely unmotivated to move your body over the last year or so. It has been HARD.

Cause, TV! Snacks! Can only go for a walk, anyway!

For Carrie, the lack of drive and feeling of fatigue was all too real.

"I am happier when I am active. Both my physical and mental health feels better when I move. I noticed my motivation dropping severely during this year's round two of lockdown," she said.

"It was cold, we were limited with how much time we could be outdoors in Melbourne and everything was just a bit blah."

"Most of my exercise this year has been with the kids, running, riding bikes, heading down to the athletics track. I knew it was important for my kids to move for their own mental health so I pushed through my own tiredness as much as I could and got them outside."
