My journey: From struggle to strength
Welcome to the heart of Live Well, Live True. This is my personal story, a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of finding your inner self. Discover the experiences that shaped my path and inspired me to support women like you in reclaiming their confidence and belief.
The path that shaped me
My journey began as a young single mum, where I felt my identity slowly slip away. Life presented a series of formidable challenges: navigating the failing health of elderly parents, wrestling with financial struggles, and enduring traumatic births and difficult relationships. These experiences left me feeling a profound loss of trust and self-esteem. Despite attending university as a mature student, I found myself in low-paid, deskilled employment, experiencing periods of homelessness, and battling overwhelming guilt. I often masked my pain with alcohol, desperately searching for a flicker of hope. It was the unwavering strength I drew from my children that ignited a fierce resilience within me, pushing me to keep looking forward and remain optimistic even in times of profound despair, loneliness, and isolation.
Finding my inner compass
Through these trials, a crucial lesson emerged: the importance of finding the inner you and trusting your instinct. I learned not to ignore that quiet, knowing voice inside. There was a pivotal moment when I was passed over for a role that, deep down, I knew should have been mine. This wasn't a setback; it was a powerful affirmation to be brave, to stand firm in my self-belief, and to advocate for my own worth. It taught me that true strength comes from within, from recognising your value even when others don't, and from having the courage to pursue your own path.
