My story is a tale of transformation, resilience and the spirit to inspire others.
It began with a decision standing in my kitchen that I needed to change which surpassed the fear of the unknown. Opting for weight loss surgery was not just a physical transformation but a profound commitment to reclaiming my life. However, the path to self-discovery didn't end there.
As I embarked on my journey, I encountered hurdles and triumphs, moments of doubt intertwined with flashes of unwavering determination. Yet, amidst the highs and lows, there was a steadfast belief in the power of community, though at the time I didn't believe in myself enough to create a community. I do now. 10 years on.
The decision to undergo corrective plastic surgery was not merely about aesthetics but a testament to my commitment to self-love and acceptance. It was about embracing every scar, every imperfection, and wearing them as badges of honour—a testament to the battles fought and the victories earned.
My favourite quote ever is by Marilyn Monroe: "imperfection is beauty, madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring".
But my journey is not just about my own transformation; it's about creating a community of like-minded individuals—women with dreams as vast as the ocean and hearts as resilient as steel. It's about inspiring others to embark on their own journeys, armed with the knowledge that they are not alone—that every obstacle can be overcome with unwavering determination and unwavering support.
My vision as is to cultivate a space where women can come together to share their stories, their struggles, and their triumphs. It's a sanctuary where laughter echoes through the halls, tears are met with open arms, and dreams take flight on wings of hope.
Cooking is not just a passion of mine it's my therapy—a source of comfort and joy amidst life's chaos. I want to share that joy with others—to weave stories through recipes, to create moments of connection through the shared love of food.
A few other things about me! I'm a sucker for homewares, journals, candles, and my faithful companion, Koda. The gentle wag of her tail, and her floppy ears fill my heart, she's a big lady; a labrador great dane cross, she's so regal, cuddly and a big goof!
Every moment is an opportunity for growth, every setback a lesson in resilience. And as I continue my journey, I invite you to join me —to laugh, to cry, to dream, and to discover the boundless potential that lies within each and every one of us.
With Love
