Why would I feel like I wasn’t good enough?
Actually, my late childhood and teenage years were marred by major depression, including a suicide attempt at the age of 14;
then bulimia and anorexia; which left me hospitalised for 3 months at 17.
And though it seems like a lifetime ago,
I still remember the darkness - the days I didn’t want to get out of bed,
to those I was in that much psychological pain, that I felt nothing at all.
And, as many of those with a mental illness would know; for years,
no one knew- or could make sense of it.
Especially as I was a straight A student, did well in sport and seemingly happy;
it seemed strange that I was suffering, or struggling with self worth. I mean -
It was a Saturday night, and I was frustrated that I couldn’t attend a friend's 18th birthday party - I was too unwell to be let out of the ward.
However, one night in hospital at the age of 17, I distinctly recall the moment that everything changed.
While this is something I understood and overcome after years of therapy,
at the time of hospitalisation, I did feel that way - so much so that I refused treatment, because I didn't think I 'deserved' it.
With that realisation, I knew recovery wasn't optional: it was the only way.
It was the only way I would truly live again - like, really live.
And I knew deep down, that's what I truly wanted - it's what we all want.
When this clicked, almost in an instant, I completely changed.
I began to fight for my life -
battling the voices in my head, engaging in my therapy,
and eating whatever I needed to.
And although the journey was nothing short of exhausting,
and sometimes I doubted if I would actually get better,
eventually, things shifted. I started to notice:
They say that when you're doing what you're meant to - things fall into place easily. And this is exactly what I found when with my work in sleep.
See, I knew I needed to support my intention to create happier, healthier lives with qualifications; so I studied - A Bachelor of Social Science (Psyschology), a certificate of Sleep. Psychology, a Diploma of Health Science (Nutritional Medicine) and a Certificate 3+4 in Fitness.
Through this process, I started coaching - first with various modalities - stress, weight loss... and then sleep.
My sleep clients saw rapid, transformation results - and initially, I thought nothing of it. After all, fixing sleep, for me, was easy.
I just combined my 9 years of studies, and applied the science in a straightforward, streamlined manner.
Second, within months of specialising in sleep,
I was asked - completely out of the blue -
by Sealy Posturepedic
to be their media spokesperson.
A few months later, again, completely out of the blue, Ikea asked me the same.
