In so many ways I have had an extraordinary life. And that's not just referring to the many high points, but also the numerous challenges I’ve faced along the way. Everyone has highs and lows - that's life in all it's glory. I've learned that what matters most is not the actual events we experience, but rather who we decide to be in those moments.
So who am I?
I am a wife, a mum and stepmum, a nana, a sister, a friend. I know what it’s like to navigate the variable nature of relationships - to love hard, to offer support, and to put healthy boundaries in place when it's needed. I’ve lost my father, my mother, a son, and others, so I know the pain of grief and loss, and how to navigate through that pain to a place of peace.
I have also faced physical illness that seemed to have no solution, yet I found a way through it to a place of restored health and well-being. Life is a journey, full of twists and turns, and every new adventure brings new learnings. What I hope you can get a glimpse of here is that I know what it’s like to be stuck, and what it takes to come out the other side.
