Because the messy middle is where real change happens

Why I Speak
Most people only share the highlight reel.
The glossy before-and-after.
But life doesn’t happen in neat chapters.
It happens in the messy middle - the part where you’re working it out, stumbling, rebuilding, and proving to yourself you can do hard things.
That’s the story I tell.
And it’s the story that inspires people to stop hiding, start healing, and believe that their past doesn’t define their future.
Signature Talks
The Messy Middle: Finding Strength in the In-Between
We live in a world obsessed with quick fixes and “overnight success.”
This keynote shines a light on the reality of resilience; finding courage when you’re not at rock bottom but not at the finish line either.
It’s about embracing uncertainty, pushing through discomfort, and trusting the climb.
​
Your Past Doesn’t Define Your Future
From a childhood on a council estate, to navigating a rare brain disease, grief, and burnout - my story is proof that where you start isn’t where you have to stay.
This talk helps audiences break free from old narratives, rewrite their own story, and create a future built on possibility, not limitation.
​
You can rewrite your story at any point.​
Doing Hard Things: Building Resilience in a Soft World
Technology, shortcuts, and instant gratification have made life easier - but not stronger.
This keynote challenges audiences to step outside their comfort zone, develop true resilience, and discover the confidence that comes from proving to yourself that you can do hard things.
​
Because anything worth having takes work.

Why It Matters
Because resilience is the skill that underpins everything.
We’re raising a generation that believes hard equals impossible.
We’re working in a culture that praises burnout and then wonders why mental health is at breaking point.
We’re living in a world where the truth gets lost behind the filter.
​
The messy middle is my reminder that:
-
Struggle is normal.
-
Growth is messy.
-
Your story has power.
And when people hear that truth, they realise they’re not broken. They’re building.
