If you have read ‘WHO AM I’ you’ll know by now that I have lived through some pretty dark times.

If you want to check out how I turned my mental health – and life – around despite a total breakdown, that’s blogs #1-4.

Or, for a pick and mix of my entrepeneurial activities start with any post from #5 onwards.

Whichever posts you choose, I promise you raw, unpolished, and honest text documenting my personal and professional growth.

Perhaps you’ll think I am too candid, but it is the only way I know how to be …
