Kerri-Ann is an avid storyteller and lover of all things beautiful.  Blessed to be a single mum to four amazing, incredible, talented and powerful kids, aged 18 to 11 years.

Yes! she is a one-person cheer squad. as  There was a time though, when this whole parenting thing was not my jam.  She was determined to be the next best thing to Tupperware, and have a powerful career conquering the business world.  But then he son Lachlan arrived (in a hurry I might add) 14 weeks early and weighing just 2 pounds.  “Seriously, how hard can this mum thing be?” .  She should have known at that point that her whole world was about to be turned upside down!

It turns out, it’s crazy hard to be a mum when you have no idea what you’re doing and what you’ve learnt so far is seriously outdated.  Fast forward 10 years she found herelf in a hospital meeting room, facing two women from the Department of Child Services asked her this question, “Are you fit to be Mother to your children?”

It was in this moment she realised that she would  never parent the same way again.  In fact, she would  never lve her life the same way again.  Overcoming grief, anxiety, depression, fear, co-dependency and more …. she found her why and discovered that awareness is key.  She now live a joyful confident life and my kids, well they are the reason I showed up.

HER legacy needed her!
