I love to speak about how I transformed my fear of death into a love for life. How after nearly a decade of being consumed by my cancer diagnosis, I found a way to ‘turn the volume’ down on catastrophic thoughts and worst case scenarios and let the light in. 

I passionately believe that the thoughts we think and where we choose to place our attention plays a huge part in how our lives unfold. Over the last decade, I’ve slowly but surely gathered an ‘emotional tool box’ that allows me to live a big, bold and optimistic life. 

Following my initial breast cancer diagnosis in 2010 as a single mum of a six year old and six month old triplets, I was paralysed with thoughts of recurrence and premature death. These thoughts dominated my life in every single way for years. 

After hitting a personal rock bottom in 2017,  I slowly began to commit to looking at life through a different lens. I began practising gratitude, running, consciously shifting my focus towards thoughts that felt good. 

Slowly, the darkness began to fade and I realised that it was safe for me to feel happy and hopeful about how life could be. 

My talks are warm, engaging, honest, anecdotal and relatable with transformative messages throughout. 

I am a mother, a wife, a friend, a vibrant, strong woman who happens to be living with a potentially life limiting disease. I spent too many years living as though I was dying and now, to share the profound advice offered by my eldest son on the day of my third diagnosis, I’ve found a way to ‘live like it’s not there’ 

We all have an ‘it’.  We all have challenges to face that can feel unsurmountable. 

By allowing ourselves to embrace a vision of the future we desire we can free ourselves from the constraints of the trauma of the past.
