Being told in grade 10 there was not many options in the work force for me with a grade D in English, lacking reading, spelling and dyslexia I started an apprenticeship as a carpenter. Then found an honest, caring boss and got into bathroom renovations and after 4 years moved to QLD and started my own bathroom renovation business.
After 5 years in business, winning multiple awards locally and nationally I started to get bored and wanted more from life so I had my fist child. I wasn’t aware of what to expect as I had never been around kids before. I can tolerate a lot as I was resilient however I was not ready for the heavily sleep deprivation a newborn can bring. With colic, reflux, allergy reactions to milk taking 4 months to find out, him sleeping for a maximum of 2 hour at a time whilst being held, not to mention the 30 min’s of bouncing to get to sleep it was still worth it.
Before Brandon was 2 we had our second child Xanthi and it hit us again, well it never stopped as it took until Brandon was 2 before he slept through the night. Xanthi had the same issues along with extra allergies to fructose, yippie we thought we had it covered. Along with sleep deprivation the GFC hit, my work crashed and both my wife and I had GAD, Depression, PSD and suicidal tendencies. In the same week we looked in our rear vision mirror and seen both our kids and kept pushing, they were worth everything; we didn’t know we were both in the same position until we shared our stories to each other a few days later.
We helped each other and kept going, supporting each other. Over the next few years even more things happened, my wife created a dance studio, I stopped working, the rent of the studio increased so much I became insolvent and we lost our house and cars; even after all of that, we still had our kids and we kept going.
As I felt I couldn’t work I applied to university and the funny thing was I got in. In the first year of uni we had our 3rd child and after completing my degree in Psychology and graduate certificate in Gestalt Therapy we had a fourth child.
You would think that we had been though our worst but it kept coming, for years nothing I did worked and kept ignoring my true self and natural talents. There were many signs over the years and partly why I competed a science degree, not to prove that I was good enough but to hopefully deny that what I experienced since I was 8 wasn’t true; being a psychic. Because I was not a believer, not to mention not fit the profile as I am quite large and strong built, I also thought that I couldn’t write and after uni I wrote 2 books and currently on my third. I ignored my gifts that much that I spent over fifty thousand over three years pushing in the wrong direction to prove I was right, well we all know that the ego doesn’t win.
During this time we also had an unexpected 5th child and well was defiantly worth it. With my dedication of helping people understand how to cope with their emotions I completed my first book The POWER Within, with the suicidal thoughts from young children and to help them not take their life and me writing my second book emotional residence and now with more knowledge, more drive I am writing them together to break the cycles of the why’s and how’s, to stop people self-sabotaging their life, avoiding their souls purpose and just be themselves. There is nothing going to stop me. Find the power within, your drive and passion, set your goals, let go of the past, understand your triggers and dissolve your blocks holding you back, let your soul talk and be you, just love. I am now a proud international soul medium reader, healer and author, who gave up their million-dollar award winning business to help other with their health and wellbeing, with my 5 wonderful kids and I wouldn’t change a thing in my past or present. As Kung Fu panda says “I am all of those things;” most defiantly a proud loving father.
