Beauty In Strength; Growing Beyond Family Domestic Violence
“My mission is to end the cycle of domestic violence in Australia. To achieve this, I will continue to share lessons from my own background to empower others to take ownership of their lives, regardless of what may have happened in the past. With the right plan and support network in place, people are free to embrace the journey and live a life of passion, happiness and love.”
Living with domestic violence in my family has affected my outlook on life. What I experienced and what I witnessed as a child has led me to see the world from a different perspective to many other people. I have worked through my anger and depression by being involved in sport and that has given me a level of happiness and positivity in my life.
My story goes into the depth of my childhood. What I experienced and how I’ve now changed proves that no matter where you’ve come from or what you’ve been through, you can change your life if you really want to.
I wouldn’t say that I have it all figured out. I am still dealing with the struggles of my childhood today, but I am determined to be the best version of myself that I can be so that I can make a positive impact on other people’s lives.
I offer my experience in the hope that it will inspire at least one other person to go out and live their purpose and not be afraid of stepping into their true self.
You don’t have to have lived experienced of domestic violence to read my story. I share with you my lessons learned and how to work through challenges you may face in your life. These other challenges also include the loss of a miscarriage, my deceased father and how to find real love after coming from a broken home. I share my competition experiences and how I made it to competing on the world stage in CrossFit and being crowned Miss Figure Australia.
