My story

As a child, my dreams weren’t about flying to the moon, driving race cars, fighting fires or becoming a doctor… but they were big and I always felt like I was meant to change the world.

When I was 18 and received a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder, I felt those dreams shatter. Little did I know it was this diagnosis that would in fact light the path for me to follow. Fate had intervened and I soon realised that my mental illness was an initiation into my role as a Mental Health Warrior.

My personal journey has taught me that mental illness is not a life sentence . My healing has been a path through disconnection, isolation and disempowerment and I want others to know that there is a way to turn our stories of pain and trauma into empowerment, purpose and freedom.

I will be soon publishing my book –Mental Health Warrior– to encourage others to embrace their own healing journey and change the way the world sees and treats mental illness. And I need your help to do it.

What will my money go towards?

Your support for this book will extend far beyond publishing. By supporting this crowdfunding project, your money will allow for my book to be available worldwide through Amazon from 31st August 2019, and support me in opening opportunities so that I may spread an empowernig message around mental illness with thousands of people around the world. 

What's the book about?

Mental Health Warrior is the story of my own lived experiences with mental illness and a Bipolar Disorder diagnosis. It is about re-writing pain and trauma into empowerment, purpose and freedom, and documents my transformative journey from a mental health hospital to award-winning young entrepreneur with a multi-million dollar company, before answering the call to Medicine Woman. 

Why now?

While my journey continues, there's no time to waste in healing. Now is the time to start supporting our next generation leaders to be the best version of themselves. Did you know...

- One person dies every 40 seconds due to suicide (WHO)

- Suicide is the leading cause of death for people aged between 15-29 years old (WHO)

- One in four young people aged between 15-19 years old experience serious mental health issues (Black Dog Institute and Mission Australia)[PV1]

By the time you have finished reading this page, two people have lost their lives to suicide.

These stats are real, and you probably know this in your heart from the story of someone you know in your community, your own child or a loved one who has been at the mercy of mental illness.

If you or somebody you know has been in the grip of mental illness, you will know the profoundly debilitating effects it can have.

It’s time that we embrace mental health together.

This Pozible campaign is about more than funding a book, it is about taking a stand for de-stigmatising and embracing mental health.
