Born a fighter

In all honesty, I'm not sure I would choose all the struggle I've had in my life. The pain of silently struggling as a child, of not fitting in but desperately wanting to, the fake friendships, camouflaging and the anxiety I felt on a daily basis going into school or a work setting. All of my struggles are more understood now as I'm sure I'm neurodivergent, which basically meant my nervous system was all over the place . Now I understand myself, my triggers, I can accommodate for myself and I'm thriving as a result . But there was a large chunk of my life where I was searching for something to help me with my struggles. But no matter what I tried, it never kept the pain and struggle away for long.

One thing that has helped me massively in my journey is helping other neurodivergent people, because I understand and know what it feels like to live in a world where you don't understand all the social rules and for me to understand how I'm actually feeling , it looks very different for me. During my training I came across a client who was discovering that she too could be neurodivergent and it was such a beautiful thing to walk her through that process , and support her in her diagnosis.

This experience made me realise my passion and my calling is to help and support neurodivergent people.I research and study for fun about this and it truely makes me feel so rewarded . I'm sure this is my calling in life and I feel blessed to be doing the work I do.

So maybe all that struggling, and being a fighter, wasn't for nothing at all. Maybe i went through exactly what I was meant to go through to get to to right now -a capable, strong woman who is following her dreams.

Much love,
