So it's true what they say, you can't train for a marathon & complete the 42kms without it changing you & your entire outlook on life.
This run not only taught me so much about myself but this moment cemented how I'm going to live the rest of my life.
For 37kms my thoughts & I worked as a team, smiling, laughing & full of joy, which is just a dream come true. For the last 5km my bully voice wanted to rule the show but I know better than to believe a single word it has to say, so I just kept running & I finished strong. I know that just because you think a thought, it doesn't mean it's true.
Don't EVER let anyone (especially your own brain!) tell you that your dreams are too big, unrealistic or unachievable. You & only you get to decide who you are & what you are going to do with this very precious life we get to live.
I don't care what anybody says - if you have the guts to go after them & the grit to not give up on them, dreams really do come true ❤️
P.S they're my kids, my son gave me my medal, my daughter is wearing a home made shirt they all wrote on for me that morning & my 10 year old son finished the last 10km with me. When my bully voice got loud, his words of encouragement got louder - who you have by your side, matters! x

After an absolutely ripper of a summer break, I'm off to deliver my first Mental Health & Wellbeing session to Teachers for 2025 & I couldn't be more excited 🥳

"When all the kids in my class put up their hand to say that they struggle too, I just couldn't believe it. I just thought whaaaaat, all these people have problems & challenges too! And then people just started sharing that they have ADHD, Autism, grief, Anxiety, separated parents, mean nasty thoughts, body issues - I couldn't believe it. I just can't believe I'm really not alone in all of this"
I spent the day with year 4, 5 & 6 kids today & boy did we absolutely smash through the stigma, shame & embarrassment associated with struggling. It was s.p.e.c.i.a.l. We normalised alllll that comes with being an 8, 9 & 10 year old human - and there is a lot!
They were literally banging the door down at recess & lunch to come back in the room, hang out with me & keep the conversations going - conversations that are normally too confusing, hard & scary to have. How bloody good is that!
I then watched the sun go down in my happy place & went back to the school to spend the evening talking all things Mental Health & Wellbeing with parents.
Today has been a big, beautiful, important, soulful, pretty exhausting but very, very wonderful day ❤️
