About Me

I had definitely lost myself somewhere along the racetrack of life.

I had managed to retain my grasp on reality and sanity for a while as life started careering past at ever increasing speeds as I rapidly scaled the promotion ladder but, with hindsight, I suppose the bout of work-related stress in 2015 was inevitable.

Unfortunately this triggered over three years of debilitating anxiety and depression, while comfort eating resulted in the weight piling on, further impacting my physical and mental health.

Trying to come to terms with a number of bereavements in 2017 has forced me to reassess what I want from life.

Life is to be enjoyed, not endured.

Gordon B. Hinckley

I realised I was at a crossroads: I could continue blindly down the path I found myself on, complete with deep-seated mindsets that actively sabotage my best intentions, or I could try to rediscover myself.

Ultimately I made the choice to turn what has been a really difficult four years to my benefit, and this has given me the impetus to really take control of my health and mind.
