My Story

Hi,

I’m Katie and I’m strong and brave, at least that’s what people tell me.

In April 2021, my little girl died and it crushed me to the point where some days I felt like I couldn’t go on. Some days felt far too heavy and I felt weak and hopeless, but people kept telling me I was so strong, and so brave. It never really hit home. One day when I was listening to a friend talk about a friend of hers who’d suffered the most awful trauma, I thought, we are all strong and brave, we are all muddling through life, just trying to get by. And so, I decided I would put together a website, originally this website would cover everything but then I realised that maybe those women who needed support after loss wouldn't want to sift through other website "noise" so I also set up another site, purely for those looking for guidance after child loss, you can find that at www.aperfectpoppy.com

Strong & Brave  is a culmination of articles, posts, images, and videos amongst other things that have empowered me recently and throughout my life covering all things mind, body and soul.

Not every thing on Strong & Brave will appeal to every single woman, but hopefully every single woman can find something on here that helps her and she can relate to.

I hope you like it and it helps you feel a little stronger and braver.
