What you may have heard is that in 2025 I Ran Around Australia...










Please don’t get the wrong impression.
I haven’t always been a powerhouse.
Please don’t get the wrong impression. I haven’t always been a powerhouse.
I wasn’t born unbreakable.
I was built in the wreckage.
You know the saying “Diamonds are formed under pressure?”
Well that’s me, and now...
I’M LIKE A BIG YELLOW DIAMOND (much like the gift my Grandma gave me)
Some can’t handle it, some don’t like it,
but I’ll light up any room I walk in because I am UNAPPOLOGICALLY ME.
At 12, I grew up fast, becoming the carer for my siblings while Mum worked away.
At 14, I was sexually abused and lost my voice, my courage, and my confidence.
This escalated into my early twenties when I chose a career in the mining and construction world, long FIFO swings, intense isolation, and a lifestyle that slowly eroded my mental health.
Eventually, it broke me down so deeply that I no longer wanted to live.
My breaking point came in 2022 when a high-speed truck crash nearly ended everything. Lying awake in that hospital bed, in the silence I finally admitted the brutal truth... I didn’t want to die. I wanted the internal pain to end.
That night was the turning point. I was willing to let parts of the old me die if that’s what it took to become someone who actually wanted to be here.

All because I choose courage over comfort, authenticity over approval, and resilience over giving up.
I believe we must take responsibility for our mental fitness just as fiercely, if not more, than our physical fitness.
Life is here for creation. And to create, we must unlearn the beliefs that hold us back and relearn our true potential.
My story isn’t about running. It’s about rising. It’s about showing you that you, too, can overcome adversity, rewrite your story, and build a life aligned with your deepest values and aspirations.
JUST ONE MORE can change everything.

JUST ONE MORE Movement


To empower humans to build mental fitness, courage, and resilience through raw stories, keynotes, workshops and communities.
Turning pain into power and dreams into unbreakable reality.

Mental fitness isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s the whole damn game. We choose courage over comfort, own our fuck-ups out loud, stay messy and authentic.

My vibe is keeping it 100 % real and holding you accountable with heart. Ride-or-die humans who see you, hold you, and go to war for your dreams with you.

We move with freedom straight through the bloody chaos with rhythm and joy. Leading with curiosity for myself and every legend around me.

When people leave my orbit, I want them thinking: “She bloody saw me and she makes life feel bigger, brighter, and better.”

We never stop asking questions about ourselves, the world, the impossible. Curiosity is the fuel that turns “what if” into “watch this”.
Your MIND play's TRICKS on you- OK!
PLAY EM BACK...
I was about 26 when I FULLY started to play the tricks back AND EMBODY ALL the lessons I had accumulated over the years....
I only began my running journey in October 2022.
9 months later, I went on the run 1600kms with a coach who had no belief in me. Yet I KNEW it was possible because I harnessed my mind games. In 2025?
That's when I took it a level further and Ran 14,200kms Around Australia in 204 Days proofing that with the power of "JUST ONE MORE" you can overcome and achieve anything...
