Spitting Image - Documentary Directed by Bailey Leis

When my client Bailey came to me asking if he could film his media assignment about my business & my story of why I do what I do.
I instantly felt anxious, I felt imposter syndrome, shock.. so any emotions.
It made me reflect A LOT & Realise...
6 years on after losing my mum, and I am doing what I said I wanted to do. Help my clients with their mental health, to help prioritise themselves & live a healthy lifestyle.
I ALSO realised I hadn't dropped the stigma of mental health myself..
any time I felt down or low, I would automatically think I was exactly like my mum. After being compared to her my whole life, how could you not?
Finally, I booked my psychiatrist appointment (After not getting anywhere for 3 months with my mental health care plan) Which was only a few weeks ago & I am still processing and finding the right phycologist to understand my childhood trauma, adult adhd, and severe anxiety.
I have always been taught to believe "everything happens for a reason".
I am so grateful for the people I have met throughout my life, that have influenced me, taught me & brought me to the place that I am today. Not every experience was perfect, nor did I handle it the best. I have definitely been running away.. since I was 16 from people that didn't get me.
I am loud, energetic and get distracted by 101 million things. But I am me.
Caring, loyal, always wanting to help others. Which defiantly can be taxing at times.
I am 26, I am young and still growing and learning. But I am passionate about what I do and thats why I keep pushing through. I make mistakes (Lots of them) But my intensions have always been in the right place and I know that at heart.
