A K' A DAY FOR 14 DAYS

I am swimming A K’ a day to raise awareness for women's postnatal mental health. I have experienced firsthand the overwhelming mental load that can tip us mothers over the edge. The fear of failure, the anxiety about what others think, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations can be like a heavy weight dragging you down, stopping you from catching your breath. 

In the face of these challenges, I found strength and resilience. I realised that true success is not defined by external validation but by our own sense of fulfilment and purpose. Closing my business, despite the fear of judgment, was a pivotal moment in my life. It made me confront the societal pressure to equate success with external accomplishments.

I am swimming for the mothers who, like me, have faced the daunting mental load and societal expectations. Swimming is my moving mediation and has been apart of me 'returning back into my body.' I want to break the stigma around postnatal mental health and encourage every woman to prioritise her well-being. By sharing my story and dedicating myself to this cause, I hope to inspire others to redefine success, embrace their journey, and seek support when needed.

Just as I overcame my fear of failure, I want to empower others to face their fears head-on and realise that success is a personal journey, unique to each individual. Through this swim, I aim to inspire you that strength lies in vulnerability, and true success is found in the pursuit of a meaningful and purposeful life.

All my love,
