My Story

“Running wasn’t going to save me”.

For a long time I knew something was wrong - but I kept going, not sure what the problem was.

I believed I was chasing a dream, not realising I was actually running from myself.

I thought I was reaching for something bigger, but I was using it to outrun the thoughts I wasn't ready to face.

Afraid to Be Here

"The more I ran, the further I drifted from myself."

I wasn’t present, I lived in my head - always planning what was next and never living where I was. I wanted to be in the moment, more than anything, but the moment terrified me. Sitting still meant facing my thoughts. So I stayed distracted - and slowly drifted further from the life I actually wanted to live.

Trapped in Motion

"Moving isn’t the same as living."

The truth was - I wasn't happy.

Scared to confront I had wasted years of my life on something I didn’t even want.

But I kept moving - surviving far more than I was thriving. Going through the motions while quietly losing pieces of myself along the way.

It made no sense but I felt stuck.

I wasn’t chasing a dream anymore - I was sat on a broken down train I didn’t know how to get off.

Rooted in Fear, Not Hope

Fear kept me trapped. Fear of facing myself, fear of change, fear of starting over and slowly the fear took root. It grew into depression, anxiety, and isolation. I clung to a life that was hurting me and It shaped me quietly over time. Yet still, I stayed - not because I wanted too, but because I didn't know who I was without it.

"When fear takes root, it becomes the only thing that grows."

Moving Toward Myself

"I still feel fear, but it doesn’t stop me."

Now, I'm in my 40s.

I finally stopped running.

It’s still hard sometimes.

But this time, I'm moving toward myself.

Listening to how others coped made a real difference for me and that’s why I created this.

The truths we share become signposts for others on the same road.

You Are Already Enough

"You carry all you need to begin."

If you want to turn your pain into real purpose.

If you’re standing at the edge of a life you know could mean more - you’re not alone.

You don't have to wait until you feel ready.

Your struggles hold more meaning than you know.

You are already enough.
