My love for animals, especially dogs, runs deep. In June 2024, I walked 177 miles solo along the Offa’s Dyke, the border between England and Wales raising funds for SHARE Rescue, a Husky charity close to my heart. Through my ongoing B1G1 contributions, I’ve also created over 100,000 positive impacts for dogs in Nepal. You can read more about my donations on my Giving Back page here.

My Journey: From Adversity to Strength

 

Life has tested me in ways I never expected. I’ve faced more than my share of challenges, serious illness, accidents, heartbreak, loss and setbacks that could have stopped me in my tracks. Instead, each challenge built my resilience, sharpened my mindset, and gave me the unwavering determination and grit to not just survive, but to thrive.

 

I dealt with thrombosis in my late teens, a dislocated knee at 20 that ended my ballet career, and years of managing gastritis. I’ve endured severe and hemiplegic migraines, multiple gynaecological operations leading to a radical hysterectomy, and later breast cancer requiring a mastectomy and reconstruction. Along the way there were bouts of diverticulitis, recurring UTIs, pneumonia and a systemic autoimmune disease. Add to that a car accident and periods of deep mental health struggles, and you might wonder how I’m still standing.

 

My challenges didn’t begin with ill health though. As an only child attending a private girls’ school, I never quite fit in. I learned early on that if no one else had my back, I had to have my own. That isolation, and years of ballet discipline, forged a fierce independence and a perfectionist drive, that still fuels me today.

 

Here’s the truth: none of those experiences broke me. They built me! They shaped the mindset I live and teach today, stop waiting for approval, stop following the herd, and start building a life on your own terms.

 

​Major Illnesses in Brief

​

💜 30s: A radical hysterectomy due to adenomyosis.

💜 Post-surgery: Panic attacks and agoraphobia, so I didn’t leave the house for three years.

💜 40s: Diagnosed with scleroderma, a systemic autoimmune disease. Doctors said I had a very poor prognosis without aggressive treatments, but I reversed my symptoms in three months through big lifestyle and dietary changes.

💜 50s: Diagnosed with breast cancer, leading to a mastectomy and reconstruction. I was told it would be a 6 week recovery, but I was doing my yoga, driving, walking Kita and 90% back to normal after just 11 days!

​

These weren’t just health battles, they were defining moments. Through relentless research, mindset shifts, and radical lifestyle and dietary changes, I took control of my health, my body, my mind and my future.

​

Although my scars remain, cancer is behind me. My mission is clear: to help others facing serious illness and life challenges to not just survive, but thrive.
