I’m Clocking K’s for R U OK?

This July, I’m joining K’s for R U OK? to stay connected, develop healthy habits and help to create a world where we're connected and protected from suicide.


For some it’s for others. For me it’s my reality. I have many a day that I’m not ok. I’ve coped with a lot of heavy stuff over my years and it’s a massive load. 

Each week I'll be consistent in my clocking as I walk (run, wheel or ride) to help start more life-changing conversations. 

By donating to my page you are helping R U OK? provide free, essential resources to schools, workplaces, families, and communities across Australia. Giving them the tools and confidence to spot the signs and to start a conversation that could change the life of someone who's struggling. And you'll be putting a big smile on my face.

Thank you so much.

By inspiring people to take the time to ask “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about suicide.

Dune day

Wednesday 3rd Jul
I’m day 6 of 7 of my beautiful family holidays. Today Wes and the kids wanted to go sand dune riding. So we pile onto a 4x4 bus and we’re driven out to the sand dunes. 

I’m up and down the dunes, hiffing and puffing. My 3kms today was a bit harder than normal but climbing to the stop of the dune then boarding down  was fun. I did a Jamie and came off with my daughter Lilly on board (oppps) and it took me a good little while to get my guts up to try it again. 

But I did, eventually. I didn’t let the little hurdle hold me down. 

Ask R U Ok? Are you really ok?

Tuesday 2nd Jul
Many times in my life, I’ve been asked am I ok?
I instantly question  myself as to what reply I give.
My first reply is Yes I’m OK. Even if I’m really not ok. Even if I’m struggling. Especially if I’m struggling. 

When I’m struggling, it’s hard to tell. I put on a mask. This mask is born from need. Being neurodiverse, I masked throughout my life to fit in.  When I was in a DV relationship, I masked for survival. Now I mask to hide away my pain. Outwardly, I seem ok. I seem happy enough. Inwardly, I am struggling immensely and surviving everyday. 

The second response I have is NO! I’M NOT OK.
If I tell you I’m not ok, I’m on the brink, I’m fighting close to the edge. Im struggling to survive the fight in my mind. 

There’s a song that Taylor swift wrote. I listen to it most days. In her song titled “this is me trying” she talks about the strength of not following her fears to the bottom by driving off the cliff is the ultimate act of trying. 

So today, I am ok. I set some boundaries and asked for help when I needed it. I rested and replenished my self care cup a little. 

How are you? RU OK? RU really OK?
