Sometimes there is a story that comes across your path that is not just inspirational, it is heart warming, genuine and eye opening.

Allow me to introduce you to Jane… All the way from the Netherlands!!

I won’t go in to too much detail here because I really want Jane to tell you her story herself and I can’t wait to hear your comments about the strength, tenacity and courage she has developed over the years through her internal struggle!!

This episode really made me take stock of my own journey and how we are all so incredibly different when it comes to depression, turmoil and the way we find inner peace. Jane is a shinning example of possibility through an alternative path using medication and I’m sure you will be moved by the person she has become as a result!!!
