It’s 2016, I had graduated a few years earlier and I was living in QLD, working at lifespace, planting the seeds of my knowledge on the microbiome and gut health. I was having a great time on adventures and exploring the country.
Later that year I was called in to have a tonsillectomy due to their chronic enlarged size that was restricting airways.
Unfortunately, I had a few complications including a serious post-operative haemorrhage that was almost fatal (thankful for the Gold Coast University hospital for saving my life) and the lovely people we were staying with at Splendour in the grass.
I remember the ambulance ride deciding that if I made it out on the other side, I was going move back home to Melbourne and focus on what I want instead of living my life to please others.
Shortly after, I adopted Maxy, my furbaby and packed my bags to start a new life.
