My story
My journey from self-loathing to becoming a Self-Love Expert & Empowerment Coach
It all started at the age of 18, when I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, my world changed so quickly, from a once energetic social kinda gal, to feeling lost, scared, numb and quite honestly, depressed.
This is when I experienced my first spiritual awakening. 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...
It of course, like anything in life has been far from linear. If I was to tell the entire story here, I’d be close to writing a book (which one day, I will) so I aim to keep it as brief as possible, but will also try to give you a real, honest picture of what it’s been like.
After my diagnosis in 2009, I had my first inpatient hospital admission, which I wasn’t prepared for. It was demeaning, degrading and the treatment completely disgusting. In some ways I do believe that admission made things worse for me mentally there was very little support and very fee that understood.
I discharged myself after a few months because it was becoming more detrimental than helpful. A few months after that, with no after support, I began to relapse. This time I tried to manage on my own fearful of going back into hospital.
I ‘coped’ as well as I could but I felt alone in this battle, 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.
Despite what I was going through, I tried to carry on as 'normal' I applied for and got into university, but was far from living my ‘best life’.
They say uni years are the best years of your life, mine definitely weren’t. I felt isolated because I couldn't describe what I was going through, I just wanted to fit in and be 'normal' but I couldn't. I had to deliberately distance myself as I didn’t know how else to manage. It was all too much, too overwhelming and my anxiety was eating me alive. It was a horribly lonely place to be,.
I managed to graduate after 5 long years and several more unfortunate hospital admissions, it was far from easy. BUT, I was SO proud of myself after being told on many occasions by that it wasn’t possible for me and that I should just give up. Instead that gave me the drive to keep going and see it through.
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 all, anorexia. Despite my setbacks, I have remained strong enough to know I had more to give and much more to see in life. I had a purpose and a calling...
I’ve had many spiritual awakenings on this crazy journey, and in my last hospital admission, something changed...
I felt positive, empowered and determined to get better, to get my life back on track and do all the things that I dreamed of. After all, the only person stopping me was myself! Anorexia did not, and I wasn't going to let it takeover my life.
From there, I read a lot 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 whether that was social media accounts, news outlets, email subscriptions, unhelpful apps, you name it, I ditched it. All so that I could start living in a way that felt wholesome and nourishing, allowing me to grow and expand as a person.
I began to rediscover myself through meditation, journaling, working with coaches, doing a deep dive to uncover old limiting beliefs. I was fully committed to changing my life for the better and this is exactly why I now 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 f*cking amazing!! Because it is POSSIBLE and you deserve it!
We only get one life and it’s my mission to help other women live it in a way that feels incredible, not by the means of society or other people.
