On this episode I speak to Alesha Kerry who I met during a project I was part of in Queenstown in NZ where I spent 7 days working as a model. The 18th of June 2018 marked 1 year of recovery for this amazing person.

After 6 years of battle with depression she hit rock bottom. On the 18th of June last year Alesha was rushed to hospital and put in emergency care for 20 hours fighting for her life. Once stable she was transferred to the cardiac ward for a further 4 days. 1 year ago she was dying in her flat bedroom alone, because  depression got on top of her. A long journey followed with the amazing support of her family and close friends.

We go over her whole history, how everything happened, which lead Alesha to a life mission which involves the creation of her just recent business that is impacting people’s lives, this one is a beautiful and touching story that not only few people experience, but a large number of individuals that suffer from depression and who feel helpless, but if you ever feel that way or just a little down, reach out, there is always someone there for you, speak up, we love you.
