Hi there – and thanks for stopping by again. If you’ve been here for the first couple of posts, welcome back! If this is your first time, I’m really glad you’ve found this little corner of the internet.

I wanted to take a moment today to share a bit more about why I started One Brave Day. For me, it’s a space to reflect on my mind, my day, and the little moments in between. If my stories and thoughts happen to help someone, that’s a bonus. And hey, if it ever grows enough to keep me going and maybe support a brew or two, I’ll add a donation link – because why not? Life’s a journey, and I’m learning to take it one brave day at a time.

Its been over ten years since I got my official diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder – but my mental health journey began way before that. Since I was 18, I have been in and out of services, with a handful of different diagnoses along the way. BPD isn’t always easy to spot or understand, and public opinion can be pretty harsh. But I’ve actively worked on healing, fixing myself and finding that little light in dark moments.

This blog is a way of showing that process – the good, messy and all the bits in between.

With this space, I want to create something brutally honest, and I will not sugar coat the difficulties of having BPD, though I wish to share without judgement. Life isn’t perfect, and I am far from it, though I believe there id courage in just showing up, even of those tough days.

I hope this blog can be a gentle reminder that you’re not alone – whether you’re navigating mental health challenges, craving a little travel inspiration, or just looking for a quiet moment of calm in your day.
There will be stories of adventure, reflections on growth and maybe a few laughs along the way. Most of all, this is a place for kindness, resilience, and finding that light in unexpected places.

I’m excited to share more of my journey with you in the weeks and months ahead. I’d love for you to stick around, join the conversation, and share your own stories if you feel like it.

Here’s to taking those steps – together.

THank you so much for reading and for being part of this journey. Your support means the world, whether you’re here to share your journey, or have a read. Feel free to connect with me on insta, leave a comment, or just drop by whenever you need a little encouragement.

Until next time – take care of yourself, and remember: every day is a chance to be brave.

With warmth
