I love sharing stories about my life, family, friends and my (mostly) fun memories.

I use my stories to deliver a more in-depth message.

To share MORE about me was not always easy. Still, here I am: revealing my painful past - I come from a family that had issues with addiction (drug, alcohol…). My parents divorced when I was really young. As a child witnessed domestic violence. I lost a young sister in tragic circumstances.

As I was becoming a grown woman, I was dealing with anxiety, lack of self-esteem, and sleeplessness after having my baby: suffered from postpartum depression. On top of everything else, when our son was only 8 months old, we thought we were losing him to cancer. Thankfully, after removing the tumour, he got the all-clear by the time he was 6.

My personal experience with mental health challenges, working through traumas and getting better is why I am here and started my blog.

I love helping people to reach their goals and leading quality family life through talking, sharing and making minor changes to achieve their dreams.

While sharing my stories, I am constantly studying & learning to ensure I provide the best hands-on advice and support for my readers.

Positivity

is my strength. I always see the glass half full. I can only promise my stories will reflect that.
