Hello
For six years, I was a full-time carer for my dad and I do mean full-time.
For eight years after that, I was trying to survive the grief that caregiving left behind — the burnout, the identity loss, the exhaustion, the guilt, the anger, and the emptiness.
My Story
For six years, I was a full-time carer for my dad.
It was literally my whole life. I somehow managed to get a Master’s-level teaching qualification during that time — and honestly, I still don’t know how I did it. I just kept going because I had no other choice.
When my dad passed away in 2017, it felt like everything inside me collapsed.
I’ve described it before like this: I was like a bird that had lived in a cage for so long that when the door finally opened… I couldn’t leave. I didn’t know how to exist outside of that life.
I developed and was diagnosed with severe agoraphobia, severe OCD, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
I went from holding everything together to barely being able to leave my own house.
I tried to rebuild.
I started a candle business.
I filmed YouTube videos.
I even started gaining a little community.
But then my OCD hit a level I’d never experienced before, and I ended up with the crisis care team. That was my rock bottom. That moment where you know something has to change or you won’t make it.
So we moved to rural Scotland — slower, quieter, safer.
And I love it here… but geography doesn’t cure mental illness.
I still live with severe agoraphobia and OCD every single day.
That’s exactly why I had to find something I could do from home. A traditional job just isn’t possible for me — not with the life I live and the things I deal with.
So I started learning how to make money online, slowly, step by step. As someone trying to build a life that actually works for my reality.
And as things started working, I began creating digital products to show other people — especially people like me — exactly what I did. I’m not a guru. I’m not miles ahead.
I’m literally just a beginner who is five steps ahead, learning in real time and sharing the exact things that are helping me get real results.
Everything I make, I’ve tested myself.
Everything I teach comes from lived experience.
I’m building my business from home while living with mental illness — and my hope is to help other people who feel stuck, limited, or scared realise that they can build something too.
If you feel like “normal life” isn’t possible for you…
If you feel trapped by your circumstances…
I get it.
And everything I create is for people exactly like us.
