Me, My Health & I, Lilydale (2025)

11/05/2025

Becoming a mother sparked a sequence of quiet, yet powerful shifts — from who I was,
to who I long to become.

My children are the only force
that have stirred something lasting and real within me.

Confrontingly, they hold up a mirror-reflecting the pain I carry, the patterns I repeat, and the parts of me I never meant to pass on.

They make me pause.
They make me soften.
They make me see … me.

Because of them, I choose differently.
I move more consciously.
I try — and try again — to do better.

My sons are my why.
The reason I stretch.
The reason I rise.
The reason I will never stop becoming.

With out a doubt, Motherhood has been my greatest (and at times rude) awakening — a gift of self discovery, where my sons are the teachers, and I am forever their student.

🌱 Self rediscovery is understanding that I AM everything I was searching for.

🌟Meet little Syn - the socially awkward little girl longing to be liked by anybody, somebody. She couldn't understand why she was different, facing relentless rejection for being not good enough in a world that seemed to want her to be nothing at all 🧒💔

I remember being in maybe grade 2 or 3, when an older boy upper cut me to the stomach. Unable to breathe and desperately trying to find my next breath, I fell to the ground cradling myself in the tanbark while everyone kept playing around me … no-one came to help me.

Another time the girls in my grade cornered me and released a barrage of kicks, punches, slaps and pinches on me. With my heart pounding and adrenaline surging, I fought back with all I had. Yet, the most crushing part was when a teacher came over and then simply walked away. Still, no-one came to help me.

But it’s ok 👌 Because these experiences would eventually become a source of learning and understanding.

You see - this little girl is me, and I am her and over time, I've learned to love every inch of her, flaws and all. 🤗💖 I help her heal daily, knowing that setting her free is the key to setting me free.

I look at this photo and embrace my own imperfections with love and acceptance. 🚀💪 Every tear shed, every moment of feeling less than, has fuelled my journey to renew my relationship with myself. 💖✨

Now, I stand tall as the advocate for that little girl within me. I've become the person who ensures I AM the one coming to help her, the friend who celebrates her uniqueness, and the ally who fights against the bullies of self-doubt. 🌈👭

Because here's the inspiration: a healing in her is a healing in me. 💖🌟 So here’s to turning pain into power, awkwardness into authenticity, rejection into resilience and to the little girl who eventually found her way back home - to herself. 🌠👧💕

🌟Fat, ugly, big b***d, physically and verbally bullied, excluded🌟

These are just few of the things I faced 👏🏼EVERY 👏🏼SINGLE 👏🏼DAY as a child.

Over the past twelve years, I've dedicated myself to healing and growing from my own past traumas, hurts, and limiting beliefs, like the pervasive feeling that "I am not enough."

My story is one of resilience and self-discovery. 🌱 I know what it's like to face verbal and physical bullying, to be excluded and isolated, and to feel the weight of constant disapproval from others. As I faced this daily onslaught of criticism throughout my childhood, I began to disapprove of and even dislike myself.

This took a toll on my physical, emotional, and mental well-being, affecting every aspect of my life and relationships for many years to come.

But my late twenties marked a turning point in my life.↪️ It was the beginning of my transformative journey towards self-rediscovery, where I uncovered the answers I had been seeking for so long: peace, love, acceptance, and validation, to name just a few. For the first time in my life, I took intentional control of my own destiny by reshaping how I perceived and believed in myself!

Today, my mission is to help other woman embark on a similar journey of self-empowerment and transformation. I've walked the path from anxiety and depression to self-acceptance, and I'm here to guide you through your unique process of change. ♥️

Are You Ready to Take the First Step?
Now, it's your turn to decide what happens next. If you're ready to transform your life, challenge your beliefs, and rediscover the real you, let's begin this journey together.

🌸 Like Yourself First 🌸

Do you ever find yourself craving the approval and validation of others? 🙋‍♀️ Well, you're not alone!

It's human nature to want to be liked, and it just so happens to be a need that is attached to most of us. But here's the scoop: needing to be liked stems from our own insecurities and a fear of rejection. 🙈 Anyone remember feeling rejected as a child? 🙋🏻‍♀️

But guess what? You don't have to live in the shadows of others' opinions. 🌄

🌈 Overcoming this craving for approval is all about self-validation and self-acceptance. 💖 When you truly embrace yourself, the need for external validation diminishes. 🌟

💪 Here are a few tips to help you on your journey:

1️⃣ Practice self-awareness: Understand where this need for approval comes from in your life.

2️⃣ Validate yourself

3️⃣ Approve of yourself

4️⃣ Set boundaries: Don't compromise your values to please others.

Now, here's the exciting part! 🎉 I'm here to help you achieve these four things. 🌠

Drop me a DM or visit my website (link in bio) to learn more about how we can start this transformative journey together. 🌻 Remember, the only person you need to be liked by, is YOURSELF! 🌈

💫 Your relationship with yourself is the cornerstone of all your other connections. 💫

I want to share a piece of my journey with my fellow Mothers. My relationship with myself was once so toxic that it poisoned those I loved the most. The poison, whether it was a trickle or a flood, took the form of blame, pain, shame, or anger — and was as unpredictable as it was corrosive.

In sharing this story with other Mothers and listening to my clients, I quickly learnt that my story was not unique to me … we all have a fractured relationship with ourselves in some capacity. Whether it’s we don’t like ourselves, we believe that we are not enough or not worthy … there is always something that needs healing.

But here's the thing: awareness is the first step towards transformation!!!!

My own awareness lead me to a profound shift in my way of being because of the renewal of my relationship with myself. Just as we invest in nurturing our connections with partners, children, and family, we must do the same for ourselves.

🌟 Today, I'm here to inspire you to embark on this transformative journey with me. 🌟

If you've ever felt that nagging sensation that your self-relationship needs a little more love, care, and understanding, I'm here to tell you - you're not alone. Let's embark on this path together and create your lasting change.

🌟 Embracing the Journey of Motherhood 🌟

Hey, incredible mamas! 👩‍👧‍👦✨

Let's talk about a journey that's truly heroic – our journey as mothers. 🦸‍♀️

It's a path filled with love, laughter, and the undeniable truth that our relationship with our children often becomes a mirror reflecting our own inner child wounds and scars. 💔💫

🔄 Many times, we find ourselves repeating generational cycles, not just in our actions, but in our thoughts and emotions too. 🔄 The patterns we've inherited from our own upbringing can sometimes sneak their way into our mothering journey, affecting how we raise our little ones. It's a challenge we all face.

But here's the incredible part of this journey – it's an opportunity for transformation and healing. 🌱💕

🌈 Step 1: Self-Reflection
Start by looking inward. What wounds from your own childhood might be influencing your parenting? Take a moment to reflect, journal, or talk to a trusted friend about it. Awareness is the first step toward change.

💖 Step 2: Self-Compassion
Be gentle with yourself. Recognize that healing takes time and effort. Treat your inner child with the same love and care you offer your children. You deserve it too.

🧘‍♀️ Step 3: Seek Support
Don't hesitate to seek support from myself who is a Mum of two, battled horrendous postnatal depression and transformed my approach to parenting.

🌻 Step 4: Mindful Parenting
Practice mindful parenting. Pause, breathe, and respond instead of reacting. Break the cycle by consciously choosing the kind of parent you want to be.

🌟 Step 5: Break the Chains
Remember, you have the power to break generational cycles. Your children can grow up in an environment of love, understanding, and emotional growth.

You have the strength to heal your inner child wounds and create a brighter, more loving path for yourself and your family. 🌟💪

Together, we can be the heroes of our own stories and give our children the gift of a truly transformative, loving, and nurturing upbringing. 💖👩‍👧‍👦✨

Celebrating My Unique Journey 🌸

Last week, I set out on a swimsuit adventure that marked a milestone in my self-rediscovery after my Explant Surgery.

Embracing my changing silhouette has opened a world of fashion creativity.

In my quest for the perfect one-piece swimsuit, I found true femininity and flattering beauty with . But I didn't stop there! A chic hat and cute denim shorts turned it into a complete look.

Big thanks to Caroline for creating an experience where I feel like the confident, beautiful woman I am. Can't wait for our upcoming holidays, where I'll be lounging by the pool in style.

P.S. My journey to self-love and body positivity post-Explant Surgery has been incredible. I've learned to adore my body in ways that make me feel stunning, and I've carefully chosen pieces that enhance my unique figure. 💖👙🌴

📸In this photo, a mere 1/60th of a second captures her radiating an aura of confidence and joy, yet it conceals the internal warfare that lurks beneath her smile.

What remains unseen was her cascade of harsh realities 🌊

The tumultuous waves of anxiety and depression, the relentless yearning to shed one's skin to become someone other than herself, and the haunting echoes of a pervasive belief that constantly whispered, your are not good enough.

Beyond the facade was an abyss of self-loathing, an internal battle that once consumed every facet of thought, and a relentless parade of insecurities that were the driving force behind her every decision.

She is me. She is you.

Looking at her is looking at my past, a reminder of the pain endured and the journey taken. Over twelve years have passed since this photo, and boy do I celebrate how far I've come. 🌟

In actual fact, it wasn’t long after this photo that it become my life purpose to renew my relationship with myself and begin to craft a life from opposing perspectives, something I had never done.

It hasn't been easy, but remember, after every storm comes a rainbow, and every single one of my challenges has ALWAYS provided an element of growth, resilience, and an evolved version of self. 💪🌱

Today, I wholeheartedly embrace the person I've become. My purpose has expanded to guide women who share my past struggles on a transformative journey of self-rediscovery and renewal.

🌈 Why wait any longer to embark on this incredible journey of self-discovery and create a life from a brand-new perspective?

Join me on this path of transformation! 🚀

Leave a ♥️ in the comments for this. Be deliberate in how you perceive yourself and others, your health depends on it!

08/08/2023

The most important relationship that you will ever have … is the one with yourself!

Everything that we seek from others, life and circumstances will not be found there.

We tend to chase highs for a living, we chase the need to be seen, heard, validated, approved of and praised to feel that temporary high of fulfilment where we think ‘Now I am successful, now I am worthy’.

The thing with temporary highs, is they are just that. TEMPORARY!

But what if everything we seeked, all that we desired had been available to us all along, peace, love and joy. That it was never something we had to find or gain.

What if all we had to do is give those needs that we seek from others to ourself! Approve of ourselves! Accept ourselves! Forgive ourselves!

It’s time to walk back home, where YOU have been waiting for YOURSELF this entire time, and nourish the ground you walk upon ♥️

Me, My Health & I
