From Surviving to Thriving: My 20Talk Fundraiser Journey for Youth Mental Health
Hey everyone – Jenna here 👋I’ve always had a lot to say – stories, thoughts, passion, opinions – you name it. But this September, I’m doing something that might surprise you.
As part of the 20Hours20Talk Challenge, I’m going quiet. Not forever – just for 20 hours, a powerful symbolic act to reflect inward, strengthen my mental resilience, and most importantly – to shine a spotlight on something that deeply matters:
I’ve been blessed to have support: kind, professional mental health advocates, a loving community of friends and family, and tools like meditation, mindfulness, and soulful events that helped me reconnect with myself.
I’m proud to say…
I’m no longer just surviving.
I’m living. 💛
Now, I want to help others feel that same shift – that spark of light at the end of what can be a very dark tunnel.
This challenge isn’t just for funds.
It’s for hope.
It’s for growth.
It’s for the Jenna who used to feel lost – and for every other young person who needs to know: You’re not alone.
Let’s make noise for mental health…
Even if I’ll be quiet for 20 hours. ✌️🕊️
Peace, love & strength always,
Jenna
In Memory of My Brother in Heaven
I have struggled myself with depression and anxiety, had many hard day that I was supported by mental health services. Very grateful for the support I received.Loosing my brother to suicide was very difficult for me and my family. My hopes are that my efforts and fundraising will help someone to follow my step in strength and not loose hope on life itself as my brother did.
I hope this fundraiser creates futures for our youth growing up here in Australia where mother's and fathers can celebrate there children accomplishments and life joys. Prevent tears of grieving families over coffins.
Peace love and light to you all. ✌️☮️🙏
