Since I was at school I was always the one my mates would turn to for a brain dump.
They’d vent to me and I’d seem to know what to say to help them feel better. ❤️🩹
It felt good for me too, so it seemed only natural to get into a career where I was helping others.
My identity was totally enmeshed with being the helper, the fixer… the one everyone turned to with their pain, their mess, their chaos.
And I loved it. 🥰
I genuinely loved helping people; I still do.
But not many people noticed when my life quietly imploded. 💣
Most of those that did notice didn’t have a fucking clue what to do; how to you help someone who always the one helping others?
What they didn’t see was me lying on the floor in 2010, emotionally and physically wrecked, wondering how the hell I ended up here – burnt out, broken, depressed, and completely hollow inside.
A shell of myself. 🐚
Over the previous few years, I’d:
🥺 lost friends to suicide
🥺 nearly lost my bro to suicide
🥺 ended a very unhealthy relationship
🥺 my ex tried to end his life when I left him
🥺 I was in chronic pain following a back injury and signed off work
For a few months there, life was a blur. 😶🌫️
A day felt like a week. A week felt like a month. A month felt like a year.
I could honestly see how people get to the point of wanting to die. 🥺
The worst part was I still tried to be the strong one… I just couldn’t be anymore, my body, mind and soul wouldn’t let me.
I have an extremely vulnerable memory of sitting naked in a bath while my best mate brushed my hair in one of the most kind and loving acts I’d ever experienced, while her partner cooked us dinner.
I stayed at theirs for a while and just let them take care of me; I’m so grateful to them for their love.
💣 BURNOUT + DEPRESSION DOESN’T ALWAYS LOOK LIKE A CRASH
Sometimes it looks like:
🚘 Crying in the car before work
🥹 Saying “I’m fine” when your eyes say otherwise
🙃 Being the one who always gives advice, but never asks for help
😤 Feeling resentful as hell but not knowing how to stop the people-pleasing
Sound familiar?
If you’ve always been “the strong one,” listen up…
That self-made role is slowly killing you.
🔥 FROM STRONG + BURNT OUT TO STRONG + THRIVING
After hitting what I like to call my “emotional rock-bottom with bonus physical pain,” I realised something had to change – and that something was me.
But I didn’t just magically wake up healed one day. 🤗
Over the next few months and years, I committed to a journey of self-discovery.
I built a system.
A way to get unstuck from the emotional shite I’d been drowning in.
That system became my From Surviving To Thriving program.
It’s the exact process I used to:
🤕 Rebuild my nervous system
🫶🏻 Learn how to love myself again
✋🏼 Stop attracting emotional leeches and start setting proper boundaries
💞 Create a life I actually wanted to live (including the dream man, dream biz and dream life in Aus)
Now?
I help other burnt-out peeps do the same.
If you’ve been:
🥹 Pretending you’re fine while secretly falling apart
💐 Giving to everyone but yourself
😩 Wanting change but not knowing where the fuck to start…
You’re exactly who I created this for.
🚀 It’s your turn now.
💥 You’ve survived. 💥 You’ve carried others. 💥 You’ve held it all together.
Now it’s time to rebuild – for you.
