Welcome to my Blog
This space is a personal extension of my journey – as a cancer coach, a survivor, and a woman who understands the emotional and physical rollercoaster that comes with a cancer diagnosis.
Here, I share stories from my own path, the lessons I’ve learned, and the moments that changed me. Some are raw, some are hopeful, and all are written with the intention of helping you feel a little more seen, a little more supported, and a little less alone.
Whether you’re navigating treatment, recovery, or supporting a loved one, I hope these reflections offer comfort, connection, and courage for whatever stage you’re in.

When It’s Time to Make That Big Decision
Big decisions rarely come easy. For me, it was the moment I realised it was time to hang up my trainers after decades of netball. Letting go of something meaningful is never simple, yet endings can create the space we need for new routines, fresh opportunities, and rediscovering who we are beyond old roles.
A Journey of Volunteering, Strength, and Pink Tutus
Big journeys often start with small steps — or in my case, a bright orange volunteer t-shirt and a pink tutu. From marshalling for Breast Cancer Now to running Race for Life in memory of my niece, these past weeks have shown me the true power of community, courage, and giving back.
What I Wish I Had Known Before My Cancer Diagnosis
It all started with a cup of tea I never expected — and a cancer diagnosis that changed everything. From information overload to unexpected tattoos, I learned lessons no leaflet could teach me. Most of all, I discovered that healing isn’t just about surviving treatment — it’s about reclaiming your energy, confidence, and life on the other side.
