My Inspirational Story

I was raped at knifepoint when I was 14 years old. I came to realise that there were so many people that would benefit from hearing my story of how I dealt with it, how I used an awful experience to push myself in life, how i became a very positive person and how i live life to the full. Most people I talk to have been through some kind of bad experience or truama, whether it is mental/physical abuse, domestic violence or the loss of a loved one.

The motivational talks that I offer are to show people that you can fight back and have control over your own life, you can lead a very happy life, you can challenge yourself, face your fears and follow your dreams….I did exactly that. Anytime is a good time to be happy..so why not start today?

My talk is an inspirational talk that looks at the following areas:

• Your own personal safety and awareness
• The effects of fear
• Put your life into perspective
• Face your fears
• Face your inner shadows; deal with your feelings and emotions
• People’s expectations of how you are expected to react to a situation
• Effects on your family and friends
• Letting go of any hate or anger, having control over your own life
• Help you not to be a ‘victim’ by fighting back
• Be a positive person
• Accepting what has happened in your life and moving forwards

How I can help you

My hope is to help as many people as I can, as I learned that words can be a very powerful thing. Powerful words have shaped me as a person and I know there are many women and men who have had similar experiences to me. If I can help at least one person by telling my story, if they can gain some strength or peace in themselves then I have done what I set out to do. I am not here to try and fix everyone; I just want to show people that you can be happy, confident and have an amazing life, regardless of what you have been through. Are your fears and your life experiences holding you back?

Always remember your own happiness lies within yourself

Thank you and I hope to inspire you soon
