“When life breaks you open, let the light pour through”
Finding my Sunshine, even on the darkest days - Stories of light, resilience, and radical compassion.
This space was built for disabled people, carers, parents fighting for their children, survivors rebuilding, and anyone who has ever had to prove they deserved help.
Start here, if your heart needs a place to land.
If you’ve ever felt like the world forgot how to hold people like you — soft, strong, complicated, hurting, rising — you’ve found your way home.
This is Finding My Sunshine.
A space stitched together with raw truth, radical hope, and the kind of tenderness that only comes from living through the dark. What follows is my story — but maybe, just maybe, you’ll find pieces of yours here too.
Welcome to Finding My Sunshine
“Created not as a platform — but as a lifeline.”
“If this space touches you, I’d love for you to share it. Send it to a friend. Post your favourite quote. Tell someone who needs to know they’re not alone.
That’s how we build light — together.”
You are seen. You are valued. You are welcome here.
Write to me.
I believe our stories are bridges between hearts. If something here has touched you — a piece of writing, a moment of recognition, something you’ve been carrying and finally felt seen in — I would genuinely love to hear from you. Share whatever feels right. A reflection. A story. A quiet moment of hope. Something you’re still working through. This is a safe space, and your words will be held with care and respect. I will never share anything publicly without your permission. I read every message. I may not be able to respond to all of them, but I promise: nothing goes unread.
One thing I want to be honest with you about: I am not a counsellor, therapist, or crisis support worker. I’m a fellow human — one who has walked through a lot of dark rooms and can sit beside you in yours. But I’m not equipped to carry the weight of someone else’s healing, and I wouldn’t want to pretend otherwise. If you’re in pain and need support beyond what a fellow traveller can offer, please reach out to someone who can hold that for you properly. You deserve that care.
