I met Emma back in September 2017 when she attended my Training Company to do a course, she said "I just needed to do something" and here we are in 2020 and Emma is now completing 3 more Cert IV qualifications so she can help those in the community at risk.

Emma shares how Jamie was involved with drugs and gangs and how this life looked lavish on the outside but was very different on the inside. After Jamie was incarcerated Emma shares how he was never the same, jail changed him so profoundly and his mental health spiraled out of control.

As we continue to talk about what Emma was going through it's so very apparent how much she struggled with the loss of Jamie after he took his own life. Emma describes feeling numb and watching the world keep moving around her even though she felt numb and unable to go on.

We talk about what changed for Emma when she sat by the ocean as the sun came up and something inside told her their is more to life and its time to move on and start a journey, "I don't know what that is but I just have to do something". And so began hope and with the support of family and friends Emma started to do the work. Self Love, Self Care and just the idea of hope can change the world. I am so grateful for Emma's Courage and vulnerability in this podcast and I hope that it reaches those that need it most.
