I am an introvert who loves communicating with others, with a passion to live the best life I possibly can! I have a great ability to establish relationships with others and have always been told that I am a great listener and a very nurturing individual – something I’ve been aware of from a young age. 

However due to a childhood which left me with a lot of trauma, I struggled with low self-esteem from a young age. It was then that I decided that I wanted to create a more positive mindset for myself, and not settle for my current state of mind that only hindered me. I knew there was more to me and life, and I had to find out what that was. This was also around the time when I realised the power of relationships: the effect they have on us and who they can make us become. 

I realised the importance of surrounding yourself with mentally stable people who support and love you, and limiting the influence of the negative, toxic people who don’t. I had seen first-hand what harmful destructive people could do in relationships to others, and it was then, that I decided I was going to be a symbol of love in the relationships in my life. I knew though, that there was more for me to become and focus on. 

As mentioned above I wanted to create a more positive mindset, especially so I could deal with adversity better! Ever since then it’s become my purpose to empower others through helping them create a more positive mindset to overcome their life’s issues. This brings me onto self-love. Growing up in an environment where I received the unconditional love of one parent, and the anger and resentment of the other, I became quite dysfunctional myself. Although able to handle myself in social situations well, I was an often anxious, unconfident and very self-conscious young man.
