DREAM JOB? Just signed it 🥹🥹🥹🥹
This week, I did a trial for a Man City footballer and they offered me the job on the spot(!!!)🥹 I can’t even explain how healing this is for me. Like what?? Wait? Do you actually want me??? Are you sure??? Me??? 🤣🤣
I’ve actually never done a trial and not got the job, but it’s still baffles me every single time, plus this felt high stakes because it’s the job iv always wanted.
Every day I question how the hell I got here (500 breakdowns) 🤣 I always say I’m so blessed that I love my job, but it’s not really a blessing because I know I’ve worked for it, and pursued it with an abnormal amount of resilience, and a sprinkle of delusion (and that’s on trauma😭😭xx)
I’m living proof that you don’t need the ‘normal’ route, you just need grit, resilience, and a refusal to give up!
By ‘living proof’ I mean, I am only 26, I’ve never worked in a restaurant, I am completely self-taught, I essentially harassed everyone in the industry until I got a trial🤣, I thought if I could just get the food onto the plate, I could prove my worth… and someone finally gave me a chance, so I ran with it. I went from running my own meal prep company to a Championship player, to a Premier League 2nd Team Player to a Premier League 1st Player, and now a 1st Prem Player in Manchester 🥹🥹
I’m out here trying to reverse food obsession and taking the focus away from calories - whilst also providing health, comfort, and love through all my food (to all my friends, if I’ve offered to cook for you, know you’ve got a special place in my heart).
The materialistic side of it doesn’t really matter to me, I spent so long so sad that I unknowingly built the resilience to make sure my adult life was filled with freedom, love, kindness, and authenticity. My friends all highlight this ♥️
I just want everyone to know that there’s no dream that’s too big, there’s no challenge that’s too hard, if I could give everyone a gift it would be the gift of self belief. You can fu***ng do it.
Love ya!

P.S. Delusion and resilience really will take you places 🤣
