Just the same old me….
New year, new me…. big things coming…. 2019 is my year….. I’m sorry but the rational and black and white person in me struggles with these new year sayings and concepts. It feels like everywhere I look around I have “BIG” things hitting me in my face in 2019. But I guess this really depends […]
Let me lean on you….
I have largely been honest about my anxiety journey right from the beginning when I was first hospitalised back in 2016. I have learnt so much in this journey – what are my triggers, what do I do when I need to manage my anxiety, sought treatment with intensive Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and obviously. But […]
Are you ok mumma? The cruelty of post-natal depression
I have been pretty open with most people that I had post natal depression with my first born son Levi but didn’t experience it with my second born, Beckham.

Cheers Darling

Getting divorced is such a roller coaster of emotions. No one day throughout it or even post it is the same. For me, what I really struggled with was letting go of what I had the ‘idea’ of what my life would look like or where I would end up. I had very strong ideals […]
Bali 101
Bali is a place that people say that you either love it or hate it. It’s a funny sort of country where the tourists live like kings yet the country has widespread poverty and many who live beneath the breadline. It’s somewhat dirty and if you aren’t careful – you get ripped off. That said, […]
Anxiety I got chu – living my best life!
In honour of RUOK? Day last week – I thought I might write about my mental health journey and some things that help me. I experience anxiety – it’s crap, it’s frustrating, it’s draining and some days it’s downright inconvenient but here’s the thing – it’s part of who I am, it contributes to me […]
