Where it all began...
MY WORLD CHANGED QUICKLY
It all started at the age of 18, when I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa. My world changed so quickly, from a once energetic, care free girl, to feeling lost, scared, numb, lonely & depressed.
This is when I experienced my first spiritual awakening after a near death experience which led me to speak up and finally ask for help. One thing I did know, was that I didn't want to die, and so my healing journey began...
After my diagnosis in 2009, I had my first long term inpatient hospital admission, which I wasn’t prepared for. It was completely demoralising and the treatment completely disgusting. In some ways I believe that admission made things worse for me mentally due to the environment, lack of care, support and understanding.
I ‘coped’ as well as I could...
BUT I FELT SO ALONE
People around me didn’t really understand. I was cold, miserable and really unsure of who I was. My life felt pointless and I felt completely worthless and lost.
They say uni years are the best years of your life, but mine definitely weren’t. I felt isolated and alone, I just wanted to fit in and be 'normal' but I couldn't. I had to deliberately distance myself from others on my course as I didn’t know how else to manage. It was all too much, too overwhelming and my anxiety was eating me alive (literally).
I managed to graduate after 5 long years and several more unfortunate hospital admissions in-between, it was far from easy, but I can proudly say, eventually I did graduate.
Many years of my life have been taken away due to one of the most severe mental health illnesses, with the highest mortality rate amongst them all, Anorexia. Despite my setbacks, I have never given up my fight, I have remained strong, I knew I had more to give and much more to see in life. I had a purpose and a calling...
I was ready to give up...
BUT SOMETHING SWITCHED IN MY BRAIN
It was in my last hospital admission I was ready to give up, I'd fought so hard for a decade, I was at breaking point and wanted to give up, I no longer wanted to be here. I realised the 'professionals' didn't really seem to care nor understand either, this is when something switched in my brain.
I'd fought for so long, I was not about to give in now and so, I did everything I could to get myself into the best place I could. After all, no one could do it for me.
I began to read lots of self-help and personal development books, I decluttered my space, my environment & my mind as well as removing everything that no longer served me. All so that I could start living in a way that felt wholesome and nourishing, allowing me to grow and expand as a person, in a way that felt fully aligned with the woman I wanted to become.
I began to rediscover myself, I worked with coaches and therapists. I was fully committed to changing my life for the better and this is exactly why I do what I do, helping other women live the life they desire, because no one should be left feeling stuck or unhappy; whether that's your mindset, your body, a job or relationship, it's time to change, take action and live life on YOUR terms, in a way that feels good to you! And I KNOW it's possible.
