After going through domestic violence, mental health issues, suppressing my sexuality to fit into societal norms, being a young mother to three children one with a genetical disorder causing severe disabilities, mental health issues and moving to East Sussex away from everything and everyone I knew, I decided to put my own adventurous wants and my own wellbeing way up there on the top of the list and thought f#c# it, the only person stopping me for being myself and doing what I love is me. So after a ton of organising and lot’s meltdowns and doubts around leaving my disabled daughter, I did it. And my god I’m so glad I did! Being outdoors brings me a sense of freedom. It’s grounds my soul, slows my busy mind and brings me back to being Jade.
