STORIES OF LIFE, LOVE, LOSS AND REDISCOVERY.
SOME LIVED. SOME IMAGINED.
ALL WORTH TELLING.
SOME LIVED. SOME IMAGINED.
ALL WORTH TELLING.
I write about life. The good, the bad, the painful, the ridiculous and everything in between.
About growing up conditioned to believe who I should be, how I should behave and what was expected of me as a woman. About marriage, motherhood, culture, desire, shame and the often difficult journey of finding my own identity.
I write about domestic violence, the silence that surrounds it, the courage it takes to leave and the sometimes even greater challenge of learning to live again.
But my writing isn't only about survival.
It's about rediscovery. About relationships, sex, love, laughter, mistakes and second chances. About shedding the expectations of others and discovering the freedom to be unapologetically myself.
I didn't begin writing to inspire anyone. I began writing because I had stories to tell, and I wanted to tell them honestly. Without pretence, without embellishment and certainly without worrying about what anyone might think.
UNWEIGHED is my lived experience, told with all its darkness, humour and humanity.
SAMSARA takes me into the world of fiction, where imagination explores the mysteries of time, connection and the choices that shape our lives.
At 55, I'm still learning, still living, still loving and, perhaps most importantly, still discovering who I am.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
My writing moves between memoir, fiction, personal reflection and cultural commentary.
Sometimes raw, sometimes humorous, occasionally uncomfortable, but always honest.
I write about the things we're taught not to question, the experiences we're expected to keep quiet and the freedom that comes from finally living life on our own terms.
Unfiltered. Unconventional. Unapologetically me.
Not every story begins or ends on the pages of a book.
Through my Substack writing and TikTok videos, I share the thoughts, experiences and reflections that shape my life and my work.
From the raw, unfiltered stories behind UNWEIGHED to my Getting Older Is Realising… reflections, I explore everything from domestic violence, survival and reinvention to relationships, ageing, laughter and the freedom of finally being myself.
On Substack, you'll find my written reflections, personal, candid and sometimes provocative.
On TikTok, you'll hear the stories in my own voice. Unscripted, unpolished and unapologetically honest. Just me, sharing life as I've lived it.
Some stories will make you laugh. Others may make you uncomfortable. And perhaps, somewhere along the way, you'll recognise a little of yourself in mine.
