Raised mainly by my incredible grandmother, I was bullied most of my childhood for being different, and for standing out and sharing my opinions. This continued as I got older, and began working. It was apparent even in the different industries I worked in. Retail, Hospitality, and especially in Mining.

Through different periods, I have hurt myself physically and contemplated ending my life. In the depths of all my negative emotions, I couldn't see another way out. I did what I thought I was supposed to. I read self help books. I listened to podcasts. I told people what I was feeling. I went to see the professionals. I gave anti-depression and anti-anxiety medication a go. I was still angry, sad, lost, lonely, depressed, and anxious. I didn't love myself. I didn't stay in jobs very long. I didn't have healthy relationships and I was constantly in a state of overwhelm and confusion.

The path went up and down. Flowing between periods where I felt like my head was floating above water, and others where I felt like I was drowning. I wanted to feel better. I wanted to be happy.

After a roller coaster of a relationship and managing to stay the course together, I got married to my beautiful partner Hayden and the following year, I gave birth to a magical little boy. Through the self help books that I had read, I knew about trauma and generational trauma. I started to think maybe there was more to this than I first thought. I also realised it was more important than ever to be the best role model I could be, and begin my healing journey so that I could prevent my son from carrying the burdens that I had.

I had been following a woman on Instagram who had also gone on her own healing journey and I watched her become an NLP Coach, and after thinking on it for longer than I should have, I decided to go ALL IN. I took the leap and I invested more money in myself than I ever had before. I did what it took to make it work. It was the best decision I ever made. I begun to heal the deepest, hidden parts of myself that I hadn't even been aware of. It changed my life!

Through my own journey of healing and self-mastery, I've grown more and more passionate about offering this solution to others who have been or are in my shoes and showing the world around me that you no longer need to carry the burdens either. There is a way up and out, and if you too go all in, choose yourself and do whatever it takes, you can create the life of your dreams!

I know how heavy it feels to keep carrying the weight of doubt and anxiety. You don’t have to do it alone. The Self-Belief Academy was built to help you take back control - one step at a time.
