My story In my my childhood I was bullied and struggled a lot with the tragic loss of a sibling. I never expected this tragic loss to happen at such a young age,  I was 9 years old when my brother committed suicide  it left me broken.  I held on to this pain of loss for so long, I guess that is how Chill in my vein came to life. it was hard for me as that child who never got help like they do now. I was angry and took anger out on my family at the age of 16 & felt I was lied to until I demanded the truth about his death. Up to this day I felt I can accept his passing. Of course I struggled with serious mental health issues  back then and mental health services drug me up. Mental health team in NZ have a bad reputation anyways. Sadly I was sexually assaulted by a man who worked in mental health. I was under so much emotions, I went through mental health which did nothing to change how I felt about my lose.  I continued to find my way through teena...

Living with epilepsy

 Living with epilepsy and staying strong. When I was only 25 I was diagnosed with epilepsy, I had no idea that I was living with it since the day I was born and was not noticed. I want to be a voice for those with epilepsy who struggle to have their voices heard. Here are some information about epilepsy and how can you understand it better.  https://epilepsy.org.nz/understanding-epilepsy/ We are no different from anyone else on this planet and yet we are down graded by others with judgement. It’s not easy to be accepted as you and as a life coach with this kind of disability of my own even though I grew up knowing my mother was fighting for the disabled people’s rights at the Parliament in New Zealand. Every person with a disability deserves to have their rights and have it respected.  Learn how to handle epilepsy online course  https://epilepsy.org.nz/seizure-smart-online-learning/ I suffered from mostly absent seziures but everyone’s experience is different.

Life working in progress

Image
“Hi I’m Lori and I used to be a glorious mess. Now I’m a work in progress.” This is how I would introduce myself if there was a recovery group for adults dealing with the consequences of the dumb decisions they made in their teenage years. But who doesn't have issues in life? I’m no longer a teenager, but I still remember those years as a teenager; continually battling other people's expectations, desperate to be my own person but not knowing how to make good decisions on my own, not finding my ‘people’ and feeling the pressure to be like others in order to have some ‘people’, seeing the emotional pain that others were experiencing at the hands of the ‘cool kids’ and not being able to fix it, feeling like no-one really wanted to listen to ME. Even though I know how it felt to lose a sibling to suicide and struggle with depression as I went through that myself. My parents’ approach to parenting (which I thought was normal at the time) was based on not telling the truth about my ...

My negative experience of antidepressants

Image
When I was 16 I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, I also struggled with trauma after tragic loss of a sibling when I was 10 years old. I battled the life being a teenager who was bullied and didn't have a very good therapist to talk about my emotional pain I suffered from. Some how I found a way through my depression and the drugs of antidepressants did nothing just made me more suicidal than most people. So I stopped taking the drugs my mother had to fight for my rights to stop the drugs and found a way to over come my fears by learning self help tools from a book called heal your life by Louise Hay fantastic book! That's when my passion for life coaching started when I was 20 years old. I don't wish depression on anyone it is hard to get past the fears & doubts until you find support, hope is what helps you out of that negative hole. At the age of 30 I was sexually asulted by a man who I thought was my love but turned out to be a horrible nightmare. I was ...
