The Gown Before the Surgery

I grew up in the UK and came to Australia as a backpacker over 18 years ago. I immediately fell in love with the Land Down Under and so here I am nearly two decades later with an Australian husband and two little boys. At age of 3 and 7 they keep me very busy and on my toes. Over the last decade I have faced some real challenges in my life. Not only have I fought with my mental health I have also battled breast cancer. Despite these experiences I have been sharing my story in the hope of helping others. I have spoken at a few charity events, been blogging about my journey, was a guest on a local radio station and raised money for the local cancer centre. So today, not only am I a mum, a wife, a business owner I also see myself as a mental health warrior and I am a breast cancer survivor!
