About

Hey you!

Firstly, thanks for stopping by.

If we haven’t met yet, I’m Kylie. I’m a wife, mother, business woman, and writer.

I believe I have a story worth sharing – and it’s one that has many twists and turns. I write with the hope of helping people just like you realise that even when times are tough, we can rise above and create our own life – a life worth living.

My Story

How IT ALL BEGAN

I grew up in a small country town on the outskirts of Auckland, New Zealand. I had an amazing childhood – raising animals on the farm and enjoying the classic kiwi lifestyle.

It wasn’t until I went to boarding school at the age of thirteen where life started to change. I went from being a kind-hearted country gal, to a rebellious and sarcastic teenager.

I was bullied for the first two years and it changed me. Even all these years later I still remember those times where I felt ridiculed, small, and insignificant.

It was around the age of sixteen that things started to take a turn; for the worse.

THREE SIGNIFICANT

LIFE CHALLENGES

A Deathly Love

ononI fell in love with a bad boy. It was that all-consuming-love, the kind that ends up getting you kicked out of home at the age of seventeen.

Then my life changed forever. A week after my eighteenth birthday, it happened.

I hit an oncoming car. And that man? He died – because of me.

A part of me died inside, and I went into a downward spiral. From that moment on life was never the same again.

An Engagement

I was a wreck after the accident. I drowned my sorrows and it took me years to recover from what happened.

A few years later, I fell in love again. And this time it was picture perfect. We had a puppy, brought a house together, and got engaged.

Alex and I built a life together. We had it all planned out. Until we didn’t.

A month before we are due to get married, Alex call’s it quits and ends our seven year relationship.

The Rebirth

At 26-years-old I sell our house, quit my corporate job, and travel abroad. The path to self-discovery begins.

After a year studying psychology and learning about myself, I start to rebuild.
That’s when I meet Jono – exactly one year after Alex and I separated.

A year later we are engaged. Another passes and we are married, and now we have a beautiful 3-year-old daughter together. But it hasn’t always been rainbows and lollipops.
