I was deeply honoured to be named a Finalist in the 2025 Celebrate Women Awards, in the Real and Relatable Voice category, in partnership with Yeah The Girls 40 Plus.
This category recognised women whose honesty and vulnerability inspire others and being acknowledged for sharing my story was incredibly meaningful. My journey from debt, addiction and homelessness to financial freedom and emotional wellbeing has always been shared with one purpose – to help others feel less alone and to remind them that change is possible, no matter how hard the starting point.
Being a finalist reaffirmed why I continue to speak openly and honestly about lived experience. Real stories matter. Growth doesn’t require perfection, and even the most difficult chapters can become a source of strength, hope and connection for others.
I’m grateful for the support of everyone who has followed, shared and walked alongside me on this journey.
