A long story short

December 2012

 was the beginning of seriously planning my suicide.... December 2019 I’ve just finished delivering my resilience workshop with a another global organisation.
Back then I believed that resilience was the ability to keep going no matter what, to avoid any struggle and show up. That ideal drove me to a place where I felt the best thing to do for my children was to take my own life.

Today I have a new idea of resilience. One that is fluid, that allows me to struggle and ask for help. One that allows me to keep my head up and shoulders back in spite of my internal struggles. One that embraces vulnerability and keeps me reachable. One that helps me to understand what I feel, know what I need as a result and be able to communicate that within my activities and relationships.

Rather than driving me to suicide, this idea of resilience has helped to deliver emotional resilience training to village primary schools and global brands alike.
I don’t believe I’m a new person, I’m the same person, with the same emotions. The difference today lies within what I do with the energy of those emotions.
I believe in change...
