My Dreams for Littlestlady.com

Hello there you lovely bunch,

How on earth are you?

Goodness me I’ve been busy and i guess if you are a reader of my blog you will of noticed Ive been a little quieter than usual.

This week on the blog I’m going to be explaining to you why I’ve been so quiet and talking to you about my dreams and goals for littlestlady.com

Now, this whole thing started out as a random idea. It was a mixture of noting my journey through therapy (Which at the time i didn’t know how successful it would be) wanting to help people with what id been through and also banishing my littlest lady title by showing the world (and those close to me) that i wasn’t actually such a little lady as id been through more than anyone could of ever imagined.

Over the years i have worked with some incredible companies and organisations especially sharing my story on The OCD Stories and working with The University of Cambridge.

You may of noticed of recent I’ve been a little quieter than usual on the internet front and thats because I’ve really pushing for this to be something more than just a website and blog.

Thats right. If you saw my recent story on Instagram you will of heard of my recent opportunities here in New Zealand where I was asked to speak to a panel of people about the positive outcomes working through trauma can have but that opportunity did not come in the easiest way.

Since I’ve been in New Zealand i really struggled to get anywhere here with working in person with organisations and getting into the community more and all my work was coming from either England or the US. If you don’t know New Zealand is in what many would call in ‘crisis’ in regards to Mental Health and Abuse rates and a mixture of this and not knowing really where to start left me struggling.

It had all started to get me and left me in a bit of a pickle and it had started to bug me as to what i was going to do next. I really had to make the decision of if i wanted to go back to England where pursuing my dreams may be easier and more accepted or if i would try and break New Zealand. I decided..

So what are my dreams for littlestlady.com?

My dreams for littlestlady.com really include expanding what I’m already doing. They include talking to real people in the flesh wether that being at talks,social groups or taking part or hosting events. I really want to raise my voice to a bigger audience and teach as many people as i can that trauma isn’t the end and breaking New Zealand meant contacting as many people as i could to get my voice heard.

I went on a mission of communication, meeting people and researching into what was going on here in New Zealand. I learnt about the health system, the options people have when struggling and what others are fighting for.

It unfortunately meant me taking time out of the front end of my blog but it was something I felt I needed to do after a small opportunity came to me and I felt like it could turn into more. Its so difficult to continue on with something when you just don’t feel you’re getting anywhere. My head had been jumbled for a while with what to do and what more I could do but its really about keeping that strong head and believing in yourself.

I don’t want to talk much about the opportunities until they are all confirmed but I have some very exciting things that could be happening in my life and for my blog.

This truly is what i am devoting my life too. Its my passion and its my focus in life. I feel my life and experiences taught me way too much to keep this all quiet and I’m more than willing to work my bottom off to get to where I want to be.

This also brings me to thanking you all from the bottom of my heart for the support and for taking time to read what I have to say and encourage me to pursue my dreams. This all would not be happening if you guys did not believe in me like you do. The support I have received from the start is beyond anything I could of ever imagined.

Truly, thank you thank you thank you.

I am so excited for what 2018 is going to bring and im excited for my first blog post of the year which I think a lot of you will be happy about.

Have the most wonderful Christmas and I hope you’re all making exciting plans for the new year!
