In 2020, as I turned 37, I found myself reflecting deeply on my past. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at 36, and as I watched my own daughters, 14 and 10 at that time, I was transported back to my teen years. The emotions from that time came flooding back, the chaos, the fear, and the deep sense of isolation I felt as my mom battled cancer.

Six years after my mum’s initial breast cancer diagnosis, just before my 18th birthday, she passed away. That loss shaped me in ways I couldn’t fully understand at the time. Looking back, I realise how deeply I needed emotional tools to help me process what was happening. Without them, the pain and confusion I carried became my Achilles’ heel in adulthood.

Now, as a mum to two teenage girls and a BRCA1 gene carrier, I understand this journey from both sides, as the daughter who lived it and the mother who wants to do it differently.

That’s why I created the Unspoken Truths Guide. It’s designed to help you navigate your cancer journey with love and understanding. Inside, you’ll discover your daughter’s unspoken fears, emotional challenges, and heartfelt desires, along with simple ways to open up meaningful conversations that strengthen your bond without adding more stress.

I want to help your daughter find calm, confidence, and connection, even in the midst of uncertainty. Through my work, I aim to transform pain into purpose and resilience, equipping both of you with the tools to face and navigate isolation, fear, and grief with courage and grace.
