Over the past few years, I've heard a lot of stories that I never would have ever imagined, or expected to hear people share . . 💔I've had both men and women share with me the kinds of stories and trials that some might say would be enough to break a person . . I think that's what touches me the most, when I hear these stories . . 💙 Looking into the eyes of that person - seeing a mixture of tears and smiles - and knowing that abuse/trauma/addiction/exploitation are not just news stories. They happen to REAL people. 💫 . . But moreso, it’s about seeing the epitome of human resilience for what it is . . ✨ Knowing that despite the unimaginable pain they were once in - or still face - they are now living with purpose, and trying to make this world a better place for others . . A lot of these people say the same thing to me: they are living in order to help others; to share messages of hope; to turn their pain into purpose . . 📝 And - in their dreams - they see themselves one day writing a book and releasing it out into the world to continue the healing journey . . But the problem is - despite passion, enthusiasm, and maybe even a gift for writing - most will never go on to achieve this dream . Harsh, but true . . But the truth is, the only thing between those who dream of writing a book and DO IT, versus those who don't, is daily commitment . ✅ Daily commitment to doing 10 - 30 mins of writing a day (or at least a few times per week) . ✅ Daily commitment to researching and learning about how to GET BETTER at your goal . ✅ And most importantly, a commitment to honour your dreams by asking for SUPPORT when you’re overwhelmed and don't know how to take that next step . #commitment is the key . . 🙌🏻 SO...If you've been dreaming for years of writing and publishing your story, but don't know where to start...I can help. . 🔹 Due to demand, I've just re-opened my 'Write to Inspire' course - designed specifically for everyday people with remarkable stories of hope after adversity . . PM or jump on the #linkinbio to find out more.

One for all my fellow #anxietywarriors (and worriers 😂). . . . #truedat #nostigma #endstigma #mentalhealthmeme #everydaymentalhealth

🎧 Earlier this year, I was blessed to interview Kevin Hines for my newest volume of ‘Reasons to Live: One More Day, Every Day’ If you've already checked out my new book, you'll be able to read a snippet of this interview, however, I also wanted to release the raw audio file as there was so much great content that I think would really be of interest to those passionate about mental wellness . . 🎧 In this episode, we discuss: . . 🔹 How Kevin positively manages his bipolar, and why he doesn't see it as something to 'suffer' from . . 🔹 Why Kevin admitted himself into psychiatric care earlier this year & how he had skyrocketed into such severe mania, that he - at times - couldn't even recognise his wife . . 🔹 How caregivers can better care for their own mental health while looking after their loved ones (like Kevin's wife Margaret) . . 🔹 His thoughts on lived-experience organisations who censor survivors voices . . 🔹 And whether there's any validity to the idea that talking about suicide increases suicidality . . 🎧 Full interview in my bio link ❤️
