When Jessica was 8 years old she had the idea that she wanted a life that she was excited to wake up to. At the time, life didn’t feel like that. Her parents divorced when she was very young.
Depression ran through her family and she experienced her mother suffering with it. On the outside everything looked fine but inside she was quite an anxious child living with deep sadness.

When Jessica was a teenager she had her first full depressive episode which she recalls and descries vividly. She never thought she would ever be happy again. Thankfully her mother understood what she was going through. She felt hopeless and desperate and only ever looked forward to sleep.

Watch the full interview to hear how Jessica got through this and her next episode of depression too.

Jessica now lives in New Zealand. Through extensive yoga and coaching techniques Jessica was able to create the kind of life she was excited to wake up to and now she helps other do the same. She learnt how to manage her mind rather than let her mind manage her.
