In fact just a decade ago you could have found me dressed strictly in black, trying to get away with wearing slippers as going out shoes, depressed, living on drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.
On Friday 30th September 2016, I tried to end my own life.
I took all the drugs, alcohol I could find, and declared to the universe that if I had no purpose, to take me. Like a miracle, I woke up the next morning. It was as though a completely different version of me 'walked in'. It was at that point that I knew, if I was still here I had something to share with the world.
Fast forward 12 months, July 2017 — I'd built a successful health company, and had a team of 37 people working for me. That day I drove my brand new BMW 442i out of the showroom. All of a sudden I realised... I had the cars, the clothes, the Tiffany earrings - but in that moment, I felt empty. In my gut I knew, this wasn't it, there had to be "more".
(By going down many rabbit holes 😂)
I grew up on a farm in a small town of 335 people outside of Hobart, Tasmania. A small place, with small-minded people, small opportunities, small ambitions.
I was the black sheep in a family where the core belief was, "You'll only ever get anything if you work hard and play it safe in life." For a kid with a wild imagination, ADHD, and dyslexia, that was a hard pill to swallow.
From the age of 8, I trained for soccer over 40 hours a week. I was part of the Tasmania Institute of Sport (TIS) and represented my state eight times. But a broken ankle shattered that dream.
Before I knew it, my obsession with approval drove me to depression and seeking ways to feel happy or numb myself: drugs, alcohol, gambling, bad company. Eventually, it all took its toll, leading to a suicide attempt in 2016.
That was the day I realized: Nope. That life is not for me.
But on that Friday in 2016, I decided to take back control of my mind and build a life I was proud of. A life where I could call the shots, do what I love, and do it my way.
