This is me, a resilient happily single working parent, who has reflected on the deck of cards I was dealt, marked by adversity and triumphs.
I am proud of what I have overcome which stands as a testament to the determined strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of overcoming burnout to craft a life brimming with purpose and well-being.
In the backdrop of the modest 80s estate where I spent my childhood, the harsh realities of life took root. The eldest of five siblings, I witnessed my mother's abandonment at the tender age of 8 by a father who wielded not only physical and emotional abuse but also the betrayal of adultery. Despite the material comforts provided by my biological father, his abrupt departure plunged myself and my family into turmoil, grappling with the aftermath of his actions.
My childhood...
Metamorphosed into a traumatic ordeal, marked by financial struggles and societal judgment. Observing my mother's hardships and experiencing the cruelty of children within the estate, I vowed to rise above my circumstances. Despite the challenges, I became an unwavering pillar of support for my younger siblings, forging a bond that remains unbroken.
Navigating the complexities of secondary school life in inner London as a teenager, I faced threats and violence, risking being led down a dark path. Instead, I sought refuge in books, employing knowledge as a tool to escape the harsh realities surrounding me. The agonizing decision to leave home as a teenager stemmed from my deep understanding that staying would only continue the cycle of hardship for my siblings.
A supportive friend...
And a new-found family became my refuge, offering me a template of stability. However, a misguided pursuit of love led me into an unhealthy relationship, resulting in the birth of my first child, a daughter. Determined to break free from the cycle of abuse, I learned to drive, gaining independence and severing ties with the toxic influence in my life. Despite facing unimaginable challenges, including physical violence, my resilience steered me toward a turning point. Becoming a mother figure to my siblings, I acquired survival skills and relentlessly pursued a better life for my daughter. Confronting neglect, abuse, and daily fear, I hit my breaking point when a violent attack left me unrecognisable physically and emotionally.
Learning to drive became my lifeline...
Enabling me to break free from the cycle of abuse. With newfound independence, I separated from my abuser, hoping to shield my children from the trauma I endured. The reality of having no role models as parents, a mother who had suffered abuse, added another layer of anguish to my journey.
Entering a new chapter marked by marriage and the birth of another child, I confronted the harsh reality that hard work alone couldn't salvage a relationship tainted by lack of trust and respect. The subsequent unraveling of my marriage, coupled with my daughter leaving for university, the passing of a beloved pet, and my son's struggles with Tourette's syndrome, led me to a crossroads.
Choosing to prioritise my well-being...
And that of my children, I made the difficult decision to leave behind societal expectations of a conventional family and a dream home. In the face of adversity, I discovered freedom, happiness, and success in the well-being sector, leveraging my experiences in teaching and becoming a mindset and purpose coach.
My journey embodies a profound transformation during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the rollercoaster of emotions, I unearthed the inner strength needed to overcome burnout and prioritize my mental well-being. My story stands as a testament to the power of self-support and the importance of reaching out to those who care.
