MY WHY💛

There have been moments in my life where simply getting through the day felt like the hardest thing I’d ever had to do. I’ve smiled while I was breaking inside, carried struggles that no one else could see, and tried to be everything for everyone while quietly falling apart myself.

My children became my greatest purpose, but also my greatest motivation to keep fighting. Even on the days when it all felt so DARK and overwhelming, they still needed me. The guilt, the pressure, and the fear of not being enough can feel ALOT! but they’ve also taught me that true strength isn’t pretending you’re okay. It’s having the courage to say I’m NOT OKAY and allowing yourself to be supported.

Everything I’ve been through has shaped the kind of mother and woman I want to be. More than anything, I want my children to grow up knowing they never have to hide how they feel. I want them to know it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to ask for help, and it’s okay not to be strong all the time. Speaking up isn’t a sign of weakness it’s one of the bravest things a person can do.

My journey has also changed the way I see my business.

As the owner of BROW.CO I’ve realised that my treatment room is about so much more than creating beautiful brows. It’s become a place where women feel safe enough to take off the mask they wear for the rest of the world. Everyday I have the privilege of listening to stories of heartbreak, anxiety, loss, resilience, and hope. My clients have stood by me through some of my darkest moments, and I’ve been honoured to support many of them through theirs. We’ve shared laughter, tears, and conversations that remind me just how powerful genuine human connection can be.

Mental health has become something incredibly close to my heart because I know firsthand that someone can look like they’re coping while fighting a battle no one else can see. Sometimes all it takes is one conversation, one person checking in, or one moment of feeling truly heard to change someone’s day or even their life.

That’s why I’m taking on the 20 Hours for 20Talk Challenge.

I’m doing it for the conversations that saved me. For the people who reminded me I wasn’t alone. For my children, so they grow up in a world where talking about mental health is never something to be ashamed of. And for every person who’s silently struggling right now.

If sharing my story encourages even one person to reach out, ask for help, or simply check in on someone they love, then every hour will be worth it.

If you’re able to support my fundraiser by donating or sharing my page, I would be so incredibly grateful. Together, we can help more people feel seen, heard, and supported.

Thank you for supporting

20 Hours of Silence for Youth Mental Health.

I’m taking on the 20 Hours for 20Talk Challenge which will see me sitting in a 2×2 metre square in a warehouse, alongside 400 other participants, with no talking and no technology for 20 hours. All I’ll have are the essentials I bring with me: a chair, sleeping mat, journal, water, and food. No distractions.
