Learning to love yourself is one of the most difficult challenges we come up against at some stage in our lives. I certainly know and understand the difficulty of hating yourself at times, then having that chat with myself about loving me and being comfortable in my own skin and my own body. For me growing up […]

Im sitting in Starbucks sipping on my coffee after getting the bus into the city centre. On the bus I was scrolling through my inbox, briefly reading through messages, I only got through 6/7 messages as there is over 100k messages in my inbox. Message from women, men & Children…. all confiding in me, people […]
As most of you are aware, I recently started my clearbraces treatment. Getting braces is something iv wanted to do for a long time, growing up I had 2 teeth that I was very conscious about and when I would smile in pics I could see it very noticeably which bothered me a lot. As […]

It was great to be on the […]
At first when I received the email from the organisers of the Tara Costigan Foundation to fly to Canberra to speak at their summit I can honestly say I was absolutely stunned. I was in shock for many reasons, the main one was because they believed in me. I was truly honoured to have been […]
To my beautiful babies, my life, my world, my happiness. Words cannot describe how much I actually adore you guys, I love you with every fibre of my body. Its not easy at times raising you guys alone, its challenging, and sometimes lonely, sometimes I question myself, I ask if I’m good enough for you? […]
