A Heartfelt Thank You for the Kindness ❤️:

A Heartfelt Thank You for the Kindness ❤️ It’s always so lovely when people take the time to reach out to me privately with kindness, gratitude, encouragement or support. ❤️ Over the past month especially, I’ve received so many genuinely thoughtful, supportive and positive messages that I felt I needed to stop for a moment and acknowledge them all. Some people have reached out simply to check in on me or send a few kind words. Others have messaged to thank me for helping them personally, for speaking up about something that mattered to them, for sharing information that helped them, or simply for continuing to do the work that I do. Those messages mean an incredible amount to me. When somebody tells me that I’ve helped them, supported them, encouraged them, given them useful information, made them feel heard, or made some kind of positive difference in their life, I never take that lightly. The same goes for the people who have reached out just to say, “thank you for what you do.” Whet...

Floofy Bees, Small Wins & Reasons to Be Grateful 🐝🌼

Floofy Bees, Small Wins & Reasons to Be Grateful 🐝 🌼 Today was one of those days that reminded me why gratitude matters. I've been making a conscious effort recently to focus on the positives, especially when life feels overwhelming, so I picked up a daily gratitude journal from Tesco. It's a simple little thing, but sometimes the smallest tools can help shift your mindset and encourage you to notice the good that's already there. This week has given me plenty to be grateful for. I've lost 10lbs using Foodvisor, which feels like a huge achievement. Not because of the number itself, but because it's evidence that consistency adds up. When you live with chronic pain, disability, and fluctuating energy levels, progress rarely looks dramatic. More often, it's made up of tiny decisions repeated over and over again until one day you realise you've moved closer to your goal. I'm making plans, meeting goals, and continuing to move forward, even on the diff...

Becoming Who I Dreamed Of:

Becoming Who I Dreamed Of: I just wanted to take a moment to be present and truly appreciate how far I’ve come. There was a time I was bedbound and housebound, fighting every single day just to get through life — and if you had told me five years ago that I’d be stepping onto a movie set next month, she would have laughed in disbelief. Yet here we are. I work epically hard across everything I do, and because I’m always focused on future goals and building the next project, I don’t always stop to appreciate what I’ve already achieved. But today, I am. I’ve built incredible connections across the music industry, film industry, Juggalo fam communities, charities, advocacy groups, and community organisations. Behind the scenes, we’re still pushing forward with mental health awareness, supporting Let’s Talk North East CIC, setting up community spaces and continuing to create meaningful change. Creativity has honestly kept me alive. I love creating, building, connecting and helping people. A...

A Thank You as the Year Closes:

A Thank You as the Year Closes ❤️ As we celebrate Christmas and gently close the door on 2025, I want to take a moment to say a huge, heartfelt thank you to my spirit tribe, my community, and my colleagues. This year has been one of growth, challenge, and deep connection. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone I’ve worked alongside, to those who trusted me and allowed me the opportunity to support them, and to all the people I’ve met along the way through my advocacy and charity work. I also want to say a special thank you to those in the film and movie industry who welcomed me in and shared some truly great adventures with me this year. The creativity, collaboration, and moments behind the scenes have been a real joy and a reminder of why storytelling matters. Every conversation, shared moment, and act of kindness has mattered more than you probably realise. None of this work exists in isolation — it’s built through community, compassion, and mutual respect. Thank you for walking parts o...
