Why I do this work?
I grew up in an environment full of trauma, addiction, and instability. For years, resilience wasn’t a choice, or something I knew about, it was how I survived.
Now, I share my story to show that resilience isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you can build and should continue to build.
Through my storytelling full of learnt insights, I help others break cycles, strengthen resilience, and create the life they want.
Authentic Insights and Tools
Every week on Substack, I share reflections and practical tools to help you build resilience and break cycles. Alongside these, you’ll get exclusive content and behind-the-scenes updates I don’t share anywhere else.
Think of it as your toolkit for thriving.
Speaking
I love sharing stories with audiences around the world.
I’m an open book, and I draw on my own lived experiences to show what’s possible when you build resilience and break old cycles. My sessions are raw, honest, and a lot of fun. Resilience doesn’t have to feel heavy to be powerful.
At the heart of everything I share is a simple yet profound belief: we can all create lives that feel authentic, meaningful, and truly worth living. I don’t just talk about resilience as a concept, I show how it looks in practice, with tools and reflections people can take back into their own lives.
The audience doesn’t just hear inspiring stories. They’ll walk away feeling seen, energised, and equipped to face challenges with confidence. My goal is always the same: to help people focus on what truly matters, let go of what doesn’t, and strengthen their own resilience along the way.
But don’t just take my word for it, see what others have said below.

Lovely to meet you.
I believe knowledge is power and that by sharing our stories, we can break down stigma and create more compassionate communities. As a professional keynote speaker, I’ve had the privilege of delivering talks around the world since 2020, offering insights and lived experiences that help audiences reflect, connect, and grow.
My passion for mental well-being also led me to create The Open Drive podcast, where I share my journey of breaking free from cycles of addiction and mental health struggles in my family, and how those experiences shaped the life I’ve built today.
At the core of everything I do is a commitment to improving mental well-being through honest conversations, safe spaces, and self-care advocacy. I’m also completing a Bachelor of Psychology, further grounding my work in research and practice while staying true to the heart of my lived experience.
