Thanks for stopping by to get to know me.

It is hard to see yourself past the GIRL.

A girl that grew up on the rough side of Sydney, who had her fair share of heart breaks and big mistakes.

I am like all the other women out there that felt insecure as a teen, trying to find my way through the crowds and looking for confidence in all the wrong places... I mean ALL the wrong places. Drugs. Sex. Partying. Body image. Boys.

That was me. Sound familiar?

I wandered the earth with no more than a backpack from the age of 17, knowing there was more to life, but struggling to put my finger on what it was. I was searching. I read enlightened books, investigated religions and philosophy and spent time reflecting in nature for the answers.

But the party scene kept finding me and off I would go back into another spin of wild nights and groggy days.

Whilst living in a van in Whistler with my fiance, true intervention occurred. I fell pregnant unexpectedly and that was the pivotal life changing moment I needed.

To know the love of a mother for her child. 

My little Braith showed me what I had been searching for...

love. connection. and the biggest learning was knowing that giving is far better than receiving. 

My baby didn't stay with me for long. His little life was 7 1/2 months short and he broke my heart when he left me... but he also healed it.

This little miracle came to teach me how to love beyond what I knew possible.

I had two precious boys shortly after, Oska and Banjo who continue to light up my world and teach me daily.

I have seen the dark days of divorce, embraced being a single Mama, given my heart to a man I adore (and challenges me significantly) and became a step-mum to his 3 children.

I've suffered severe depression on and off for the past 6 years, all whilst trying to support my family as we grieved the loss of my eldest step son in early 2020.
