Be prepared to be swept off your feet by a range of beautifully –and sustainably – made high-fashion shoes and boots that are designed to fit. Properly.

Words Sally Macmillan

Bared Footwear has attracted an almost cult-like following since founder and CEO Anna Baird launched the business in 2008, but if you’re new to the brand, your feet are in for a delicious treat.

Bared Footwear has nailed the magic formula of producing shoes and boots for men and women that are seriously on-trend, designed for maximum comfort and, in keeping with our need to tread more lightly on the planet, are consciously crafted.

One of the secrets of Bared’s success is that every shoe is fitted with a unique biomechanical footbed and hidden support features that also accommodate orthotics. There are multiple fitting options to suit almost all foot types – narrow, wide, lumpy, bumpy, flat or high arch – so you can find a super-cool style that not only looks and feels good to wear, it actively does your whole body good.

Bared has a thriving online business, plus stores in Armadale, Brisbane and Melbourne, and the company opened its Sydney flagship store in 2021. While the online services are fantastic – you can schedule a personal video call with a fitting consultant seven days a week – the in-store experience is positively next level.

Your feet are measured and the expert team member looking after you will try any number of options to find your perfect fit. Many of the company’s 190-odd employees have been with Bared for years and superb customer service is a hallmark of the brand’s ongoing success. Anna says that not only does Bared make “great-looking, super-comfy shoes, we employ only the best human beings to look after our customers”.

FOUNDER & CEO ANNA BAIRD: STEPPING UP

Bared Footwear has come a long way over 15 years. Podiatrist turned designer Anna Baird founded the boutique company to fill a noticeable gap in the market for high-fashion, highly comfortable footwear and as the business has grown, the focus has widened to embrace an inspiring range of environmental production initiatives.

As Anna says, shoes have many components and it’s challenging to manufacture a 100 per cent bio-based shoe that is both durable and compostable, but Bared is constantly researching more eco-friendly solutions. The label’s newly manufactured footbeds are made from 72 per cent plant-based B.plantfoam and it has introduced a plastic-free material called Mirum® for its vegan-friendly collection. Adhesives remain a significant challenge for the whole industry, but Anna explains that exciting research in the use of a silk and mussel product is underway and plastic heel moulds may soon be replaced by moulds made from mushroom mycelium. Meanwhile, Bared works with Melbourne-based company Save Our Soles to recycle old shoes that are collected in-store – so far, more than 16,000 pairs have been turned into rubber matting that’s used in retail flooring.

There is a practical side to swimwear that lets us stay active, but the new Central Coast label SUZU conjures so much more than boring laps in the pool. A palette of chartreuse, pale yolk and dusky pink, as pretty as a twilight sky melting into molten gold, screams ‘fun in the sun’. “I wanted the line to reflect colours of life in Australia,” explains Su-Elise Nash. “The yellows and greens capture the sunshine, sand and all the foliage at the beaches here.”

The SUZU collection has a distinctive retro flair, with golden clasps, signature prints and resort-style silhouettes, such as onepieces with cutouts. Different shapes suit different body types: bandeau and triangle bikini tops, string or full bikini bottoms.

Sustainability is also a pillar of the SUZU brand. Positioned as eco-wear, the collection uses recycled waste collected from the ocean to create more earth-friendly fabric. SUZU means ‘bell’ in Japanese. “I wanted to be part of the solution. When my research revealed that lost or abandoned fishing gear, nets and plastic waste on the beach can be recycled into gorgeous fabrics, I knew this is what I wanted to do,” she says.

Su-Elise feels a profound attachment to the beaches of her adopted home, where she lives with her partner Ryan and son Blu. It’s literally a world away from her beginnings in South London, where she found fame in the early 2000s Brit girl group Mis-Teeq, alongside Alesha Dixon and Sabrina Washington.

“I was born and raised in South London, and was just a teenager when I joined Mis-Teeq,” she says. “I met the girls, deferred from university, and had my first Top 10 hit by the time I was 19. Our debut album was released in 2000 and we were living large. It was a rollercoaster, but a fantastic life, too.”

It was her previous experience working at Gucci’s flagship Sydney store that forged her love affair with luxurious Italian fabrics. “I wanted to source the best sustainable fabrics in the world, test how they feel on the skin and keep elasticity, and craft my own print with my house logo. I wanted this collection to reflect the water but not sparkle too much.”

When it was time to shoot the SUZU campaign, Su-Elise reached out to her own circle, including mums and Coast-based girls from her gym. The campaign was shot at Spoon Bay in Wamberal. suzu.ltd

When the creator and founder of KAAIAA, the transformational new workout that everyone is talking about, brought her class to Killcare Surf Life Saving Club, her base camp was one of the Central Coast’s most spectacular holiday homes – Sea Mist.

WORDS CLEO GLYDE PHOTOGRAPHY JOSEF NALEVANSKY

No-one is going to say no to a six-pack, but it is more than physical fitness and looking good that underpins KAAIAA training. Sydney-based Leah Simmons’ 15-year background in the health industry as a certified Pilates instructor, personal trainer and Kundalini yoga teacher forged her desire to bring different kinds of strength to a simple exercise class. “It takes a few different things to get me where I need to be and keep me together,” explains Leah. “Different types of training keep me in peak condition or help me deal with difficult situations on a daily basis. I thought, why not combine the four proven practices that I use into one seamless workout?”

Leah developed KAAIAA, which fuses breath work, body strength exercises, meditation and an integration technique in 30-, 45- or 60-minute classes. Students are trained to not only seek out their physical strength limits, but break down the emotional barriers that act as life obstacles as well. “Traditionally, physical training and mental wellbeing are seen as separate health pillars, but they are even more powerful together.”

This resonated with many people, and Leah’s growing online class community became a lifeline throughout covid lockdowns – while @thisiskaaiaa has now reached more than 15,000 followers. “KAAIAA is a physical workout at its essence, yet it’s interesting that the feedback is rarely about muscles, and more about people reporting a lift in confidence and self-esteem,” Leah says. “I have clients tell me that their mindset shifts and they are able to face challenges with total calm, particularly for 23 hours after a session.”

The Central Coast community was keen to jump on the bandwagon and Leah visited recently to offer KAAIAA’s unique blend of music, movement, strength and stillness in a highly anticipated class at Killcare SLSC. “We had 75 people come, and half were new to the practice. I found the local community to be open minded and really willing to step outside traditional fitness,” she says. The KAAIAA demographic is mainly women of between 35 and 55, and it was a dedicated follower who had started the workouts during lockdown who encouraged Leah to bring the practice north. “I met a group of intelligent, driven, go-getter women – some were business owners, creatives, or in tech. Like women around the country, they want to be energised and have these sorts of offerings available in their own community.”

It wasn’t just the locals who won Leah over. Belle Property Escapes’ beautifully positioned property Sea Mist, perched over Killcare Beach with 180-degree views, also created a lasting impression. “The first thing that catches your eye is the incredible panorama. The beach is breathtaking,” she says.

Sea Mist’s crisp beach-house palette and pared-back contemporary feel (including Coco Republic furniture) is like a home away from home. Leah brought three girlfriends on her Central Coast KAAIAA tour, who were equally mesmerised by the view. “You can just sit and stare at the ever-changing sky and ocean; it’s like a moving piece of art. We had these grand plans to bushwalk and do so many things, but ended up just staying in the house, ensconced in the environment,” Leah says.

The property features a master bedroom, three queen-sized bedrooms, a self-contained bedsit, games room, and open-air showers set up for easy communal living. Perfect for a beach getaway with friends and family.

You too can enjoy the delectable fine-dining delights whipped up by private chef Cameron Hackney while enjoying a stay at a Belle Escapes property.

While Cameron works on a freelance basis, the Belle Escapes Concierge Team is happy to enlist his services for guests staying in one of the many luxurious Belle Escapes holiday homes on offer, just as Leah Simmons and her guests did.

Cameron’s career as a private chef began when he was working in Bali in 2013, while on rotation on a superyacht. He has worked at various top restaurants overseas, including in Singapore, Bali and London, as well as in Sydney and the Hunter Valley.

Upon his return to Australia and his move to the Coast, Cameron worked at well-known restaurants such as Bells, Pretty Beach House and Yellowtail before deciding in 2018 to once again work on superyachts and private dining.

His offerings include events catering – comprising canape and shared menus – private dining with bespoke degustation menus, and superyacht/holiday house live-in chef services.

Cameron describes his food styling as “Modern Australian”, with elements of native ingredients and locally sourced produce. Menus frequently feature wholly Australian ingredients such as kangaroo, spices, smoked crocodile and emu, to name a few.

Working closely with quality purveyors such as Two Providores, Shane’s Seafood and Newcastle Greens, all Chef Cameron’s plates are artisanal to match the quality of produce.

Successful sales of prestige properties indicate that the Central Coast’s spring property market is kicking off early this year.

The Central Coast property market is heating up, with a trio of rare abodes selling in not only record timeframes but also for well above their reserve price.

In Point Frederick, 40a Albany Street (pictured left and below), a twostorey waterfront marvel with extensive water views and lush gardens sold for $4,225,000 – a street record for a home without a jetty.

Belle Property Killcare and Terrigal principal Cathy Baker says the home’s stunning waterfront position, which had been reconfigured to maximise its views, drew strong buyer appeal.

The family home spans two levels, with designated zones for entertaining and living. Other features include a stylish new kitchen, Blackbutt flooring, a saltwater pool and a self-contained outdoor studio.

In Killcare, 15 Patricia Place’s prime position in a peaceful enclave with views of beach and bush drew serious bidding when the two-storey home went under the hammer. Two distinct living zones, a fully selfcontained studio apartment, polished timber floors and views of the ocean and the Bouddi National Park region from the bedrooms were among its highlights.

Its stunning integration of the indoor and the outdoor, with a wider alfresco deck and ocean views from the living and dining areas were strong buyer drawcards.

Six registered bidders, including three onsite and three online, battled it out to secure the 974-square-metre property (pictured left and below), with the deceased estate eventually selling for $2.8 million.

“It has stunning views, nestled in the hill next to the Bouddi National Park, plus it’s got that beach-house feel with warmth – and there’s still a lot of potential,” Cathy comments. The new owners are planning to use it as a holiday home.

In Killcare Heights, a 3.32-hectare property known as Bracken Brae, showcasing breathtaking views of Brisbane Water and beyond and surrounded by Bouddi National Park, sold in a record four days for $4.5 million.

The property – located at 38-66 Maitland Bay Drive and pictured above and right – was a 1960s family-built estate, which offered the rare chance to enjoy beach and bush living. It was held by the same family for more than 50 years, and the four-bedroom home has an adjoining two-bedroom cottage, two cabins and a workshop.

Described as ‘a nature lover's paradise’, Bracken Brae features an abundance of flora and fauna and is regularly visited by native wildlife and birds, including king parrots, kookaburras and honeyeaters, as well as kangaroos, wallabies and echidnas.

Cathy says the buyer bought the property as a family home. “It’s a special piece of land in Killcare with one-of-a-kind views,” she says. “It has an Aboriginal fish carving pointing to the ocean on the rock outside the front door.”

The successful sales of these homes indicated the Central Coast’s spring market had kicked off early.

“Great prices are being achieved, particularly due to the lack of stock on the market,” Cathy says. “We are noticing a buzz of activity and buyers are keen to secure homes.

“However, I would advise the importance of vendors’ getting the initial guide price right in this market as essential.”

Kate Toon is an award-winning entrepreneur who built a successful business from her Central Coast home while bringing up her son. This extract from her inspirational new book reveals why she wrote it and how it can help working parents everywhere.

The sun is setting in my back garden, and my desk is cluttered with the remains of a busy day: three coffee cups, half a bowl of soup and a keyboard full of biscuit crumbs.

I’m talking to Barry in my Facebook group. Barry doesn’t understand some aspect of marketing and I’m trying to explain it to him, but it’s not going well. So, we go back and forth in the comments. Barry is being a little bit rude, but he’s a potential client, so I need to keep him happy.

I consider my next post, letting out a deep puff of coffee breath and looking through my home office window. Across the back garden, I can spy the lounge room. My four-year-old son is on the sofa in furry pyjamas watching In the Night Garden on TV, the garish colours of Upsy Daisy lighting up the walls and his face.

He looks a little small and a little sad.

‘I’ll just be five minutes,’ I’d told him. But it has not been five minutes. It’s been way longer.

I’m trying to be a successful businessperson and a great parent, and right now I’m doing a terrible job of both.

Now that memory feels like, well, a distant memory. Back then it felt impossible to find any kind of balance. I’d been brought up on the idea that ‘if you work hard, you can have it all’, and I was pushing myself to the absolute limits to get that ‘all’.

My priority was to be a good parent – the sort who does craft with their child and bakes homemade oatmeal biscuits. My other priority was to be a killer businessperson who does impeccable marketing, feels confident about their cash flow and relentlessly dreams big. (The irony that ‘priority’ means one thing does not escape me.)

These two goals fit together like two ill-fitting, damp jigsaw pieces.

I was exhausted, wracked with guilt, struggling with debt and piling on the pounds. I had a constant anxious feeling in my chest and a to-do list longer than a long thing. Something had to change. And so, I changed it.

Of course, I made mistakes. And I faced some hideous challenges along the way. But here I am today with a business I’m proud of and a teenage son who genuinely wants to spend time with me. (Well, sometimes.) And I call that winning.

That’s why I wanted to write this book. Because for me, having a small business while having a family was impossibly hard for a long time, and then I found a way out – and I want to show you that way out.

While it may look like I’m all about digital marketing, copywriting and getting to grips with Google, those aren’t my real superpowers. Rather, those skills are just the basic bricks I used to build my business powerhouse.

My true skills – the real reasons I’ve been able to build a financially successful and fulfilling business in between pick-ups and drop-offs –have more to do with persistence, productivity, profit, persuasion and practical parenting. All the ‘Ps’. I love me a P list.

And finally, it’s down to the fact that, while I take my business seriously, I don’t take myself too seriously. When all else fails, the tumble dryer breaks and I accidentally burp on an important Zoom call, my sense of humour will see me through.

The Big Question

If you’re flicking through this in the few minutes you get to yourself at the end of the day, I’m betting you’ve asked yourself this question: Can I have a successful business and still be a good parent?

Perhaps you’re already running a business and trying to balance everything, but you feel as though the business you’re supposed to love is eating you and your family alive.

Maybe you have a ‘real job’ and hate every living minute of it. You desperately want to start your own thing, but you’re worried you’ll never be able to match your current salary.

You’re not alone.

I’ve worked with thousands of business-owning parents, and very few of them are trying to build a global empire or make a gazillion dollars a year. (I’m not saying it wouldn’t be nice, but let’s get real.) Most of us (yes, me included) are simply trying to earn a decent income and have time to read our kids a bedtime story without having a meltdown in the process.

But instead, we’re trying to sound professional on business calls while our kid throws a hissy fit in the supermarket. We’re wrestling with gut-wrenching guilt as we plop our small humans in front of whatever device is available so we can just finish that ‘one last thing’. And we’re struggling to make enough money in the precious few hours a day we can work without distraction.

What makes it worse is the business world can’t see us. While Australia has about 2.4 million small and medium-sized businesses and no shortage of business-owning parents, there’s precious little help out there for the likes of us.

And the challenges of the past few years have seen more parents working from home, bringing the struggle into sharper focus.

Do you remember the dad on the BBC newscast during covid? (If you don’t, google ‘kid interrupts dad’s live TV interview’.) Just a parent, working from home. Books neatly arranged on the bed, serious expression, shirt and tie. He was desperately trying to look professional on a newscast but I’m guessing he had pyjama bottoms on. His ridiculously cute, pigtailed, yellow-jumpered daughter had different ideas. Despite the closed door and probable firm warnings not to enter the office, she wanted to talk to her dad. She strides in, pigtails wiggling, full of confidence, not a care in the world. And we see her dad frantically trying to remain composed, to keep talking – even as his wife, accompanied by a baby in a mobile play gym, bursts through the door to remove the small intruder on all fours.

It’s both hilarious and horrifying. Because we’ve all been there. (Sidenote: I highly recommend locking yourself in the loo to take Zoom calls. Just make sure you blur the background.)

This eternal piece of pop culture is a shining example of how hard it can be to juggle work and family. Yes, it’s funny. But it’s also deadly serious. The business and parenting struggle is having a massive impact on our wellbeing.

According to the initial findings of the National Working Families Report 2019, 62% of respondents said they had difficulties managing their own physical and mental health as they juggled working and caring for their families. And about a third said it was contributing to stress and tension in their relationships with their partners and children.

But where’s the help?

That’s where this book comes in. Six Figures in School Hours will help you realise you don’t need to choose between a successful business and a happy family life.
