This experience taught me the importance of empowering myself, leaning into vulnerability (because it was incredibly humiliating and embarrassing), developing my courage and above all else, advocating for myself. It can be so easy advocating for children, friends or loved ones when we see them being wronged, yet we rarely speak up for ourselves in the same way when we are being wronged. 

Fast forward through my messy 20's that were filled with, yet again, some more gritty unhappy experiences. I'm not saying there's no ups, because there certainly was. I have found that transformative changes that have had profound impact on me stem from the painful emotions and experiences; c'est la vie. I started seeing a therapist in 2020/2021 where I was able to process my experiences over the 10 years that I had boxed up as 'deal with later'. I began to explore the new version of myself that wasn't chained to damaging behaviours and patterns within myself and my relationships. Through this journey I could see how I had become a natural Coach, Mentor and supporter, for all of those people around me, without even realising I was doing that. I lost my way by over serving everyone else but the one thing that stayed with me, was my innate passion to empower people. Through gaining the ICF Coaching qualification I have learnt how to apply my natural superpowers with a globally recognised regulatory Coaching body to help people get to where they desire to go in life.
