The No-BS Journal
This Journal isn’t about sugarcoating life. There’s no “everything happens for a reason” here, no fluffy affirmations, no pretending I’ve got it all figured out. This is my no BS space to lay it all out my mess, my chaos, my survival. The days when my body won’t cooperate, my mind won’t stop racing, and the world feels like it’s moving forward without me.
This is where I get real about chronic illness, mental health struggles, trauma, and the uphill battle of just existing. It’s messy, it’s raw, and it’s honest the kind of honesty most people avoid.
Here, inspiration meets reality. Education meets raw truth. Awareness meets healing. And yeah… it’s basically my virtual journal, documenting the unfiltered truth of navigating a life that doesn’t come with an instruction manual.
You’ll read about the hard stuff the heartbreak, the isolation, the setbacks no one warns you about but also the wins, the small wins, and the unexpected moments of clarity that remind you: you can survive this, and you can rise from it stronger than you thought possible.
Topics include:
Domestic Violence and Healing – the ugly, the painful, the survival
Living With Chronic Illness and Pain – the days that feel impossible and the wins that keep you going
Reflections – raw thoughts, uncomfortable truths, and insights from the trenches
Life Unfiltered Series on Various Topics – deep dives into specific struggles, challenges, and growth areas so you can really learn, relate, and reflect
This space is for anyone who’s tired of pretending. For anyone who’s felt unseen, stuck, or defeated. Your pain doesn’t define you, your courage to rise does. Step in. Read, reflect, and claim your power.
45 has been one hell of a rollercoaster
And as I hit 46, I think it’s a pretty bloody good time to stop and actually look at what I’ve done.
This Year has been Shifts and Spaces
Letting things move, change, fall away and some days I honestly don’t have the words for what’s happening inside me
Following the Calling
Sometimes the spaces that call us the loudest are the ones that scare us the most.
August Reflection

Why I Keep Doing The Work.
These courses are part of my recovery.
They’re part of my therapy.
They’re part of how I keep learning about myself.
July Reflection
If I had to describe July in three words, they would be new beginnings, new spaces, and new energy.
Slightly Feral Tuesday

Creating some Kind of Normality.
Nothing feels settled. Nothing feels familiar. Every corner of my world feels temporary. And if I'm honest, that's hard for someone like me
May Reflection
It felt like every time I got my feet underneath me, something else came along and knocked me sideways.
Unhinged and healing
People see the beach photos, the yoga classes, the pole classes, the coffee moments, the grounding, the “healing girl” shit but they don’t see what it actually costs me behind the scenes
Finding Balance in the Small Moments
Living with a condition that affects every part of daily life means constantly learning how to listen, adjust, and honour what my body needs.
My Pole Class Journey
Reflecting on after completing ten classes, I can honestly say I almost ran after the first one.
Intentions for May
I’m choosing to keep showing up to the hard stuff therapy, movement, regulation
April Refection
April didn’t come in gently. It didn’t ease me into growth or wrap lessons in something soft. It forced me to face things I would’ve rather avoided.
My body. My triggers. My past. My reality.
Living in a World Obsessed With Smaller Bodies
We are living in a society where body image has become fixated on weight loss.

On the Days You Feel Like Disappearing
Not every day is going to feel good. Some days are heavy as hell. Some days you’re just not okay and that’s real
Life’s Little Reminder
I didn’t come here looking for anything deep. didn’t come here to have some big life-changing moment or suddenly “fix” myself
Reflection - Life Lately
Life has been full. Not chaotic full. Just movement full. The kind where you look at your camera roll and realise you’ve been living instead of just surviving
