The sentence of 3 years and 10 months handed to a father who filmed himself abusing his child and distributed those recordings raises a question that so many survivors ask: When is enough, enough?🤬
🤮
The damage caused by this kind of abuse doesn’t end when the offending stops. It can leave a child with lifelong trauma that affects every part of their life. It impacts not only the child, but also the people who love them, who witness their pain, and who walk beside them through the years that follow.
😡💔
As someone who survived this type of abuse, I know firsthand that the effects reach far beyond childhood. It affected my physical and mental health, my relationships, how I saw myself, my ability to learn and succeed in education, and later my ability to find and maintain work. The consequences rippled through every part of my life and, ultimately, society bears those costs too.
💔
No sentence can undo the harm. But when a child’s lifetime of trauma is met with less than four years in prison, it sends a message that many survivors struggle to understand.
🖕
Children deserve better. Survivors deserve better. Accountability must reflect the profound and lasting harm these crimes cause.
When will enough be enough?
Please head on over to Road to Healing - Sam
and sign petitions, speak up, make this pathetic sentence a thing of the past

There is something beautifully simple, yet deeply profound, about how he explains this.
😳
I was raised in chaos and trauma. My brain didn't break—it adapted.
It learned to scan every room. Every change in tone. Every flicker across a face. Every tiny shift that might signal danger. All in an instant.
😳
Then add ADHD.
My mind doesn't stop. It remembers what people say, connects stories across years, and often sees patterns, truth, and risk long before others do.
🤬
I see people. Their kindness. Their pain. Their masks. Their lies.
Sometimes that's a gift.
Sometimes it's lonely.
Because speaking the truth can make you the problem.
But staying silent while you watch someone dangerous gain power can feel unbearable.
💔
For years I questioned myself instead. I overthought everything. I shrank. I apologised for instincts that had spent a lifetime keeping me alive.
I was exhausted.
❤️
Now I see my mind differently.
This isn't just trauma.
This is survival becoming wisdom.
My intuition. My deep reflection. My ability to connect the dots. These aren't flaws—they're some of the strongest parts of who I am.
I've also learned that healing isn't about becoming less aware. It's about choosing people and places where I no longer have to live on high alert.
I'm still flawed. I still get things wrong.
I'm not better than anyone else.
I'm not less than anyone else.
I'm just me.
And, finally, that feels enough.

Why can’t we take all of the decades of evidence and address the roof cause of the negative social issues that affect our county?
💔
Could we take all the evidence, the facts, the research and actually address the cause of incarceration?
🤦
Can we do this at a government level.?
🤬
Why are we still just punishing people for being disabled, sick, dying, poor, traumatised or abused ?
🤬
We see other countries address economic planning with a lens of equality and they improve outcomes a cross all p***c sectors.
Thus reducing the strain on public resources and improving economy.
❤️
Consider this real life example…
a little girl living in an environment suffering abuse that is designed to destroy little girls. You know what I mean.
She goes to school but she is hungry, there is no food at home, she is tired, she never sleeps properly in fear of that danger that comes in the night. She hasn’t had a bath for over a week, doesn’t own a hair brush and her clothing is dirty and ragged, the other students bully her because she is an easy victim.
💔
How is she to learn? How is she to get an education? How will she ever get a decent job?
💔
That little girl shop lifts, she steals shoes from doorsteps and clothing from people’s washing lines.
She sneaks into the back of supermarket loading areas and steals food, she breaks into people’s garages and cars for food and clothing.
💔
She is breaking the law, how should she be punished ?
💔
Many adults know what is happening for her, some harm her, some gossip about it and others can see enough to guess what is going on?
🤦
If you knew or suspected what was happening what would you do?
📢
The Facts tell us that as you read this there are tens of thousands of little boys and girls living in situations like this and many people know.
And as communities and a country we are not doing enough to make it change 😳
So what can you do as just one person?

❤️ We do what we can, we step up
❤️ We donate, money, food or goods
❤️ We volunteer in our communities
❤️ We speak up when we see it
❤️ We refuse to keep secrets
❤️ We vote for it
❤️ We sign the petitions or create them
❤️ We make ending abuse and injustice more important than debates designed to divide us.

New Zealand and Scotland have a similar population size, but while our youth prison population hovers around 130 to 160, Scotland's is currently zero. It's an incredible feat given Glasgow was dubbed the murder capital of Europe by the WHO. It's all thanks to the country's Violence Reduction Unit, w...

The importance of understanding your mind and body as a an interconnected system.
🪢
Where each part of you is woven tightly with the next.
Independent Parts connecting to each other dependent on each other for the holistic structural well-being.
🪢
If one part fails or struggles, it cannot help but affect all other areas.
🪢
That is why  understanding your mind and body and what will be supportive of the stage of life you are in.

If you know me, you’ll know that activism isn’t something I do—it’s part of who I am.
I’ve spent most of my adult life challenging systems that harm people.
I carry a soapbox wherever I go, because I refuse to stand silently while people are treated unfairly, pushed aside, or denied the opportunities they deserve.
📢
I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of systemic failure. I know what it is to survive abuse, poverty, discrimination, and the barriers that can stand between a person and the life they are trying to build. I know what it is to fight for every inch of ground.
🤬
Those experiences nearly destroyed me. I still work to overcome those barriers every day.
🔥
They stoke my fire.
Today, I use my voice not just for myself, but for others. For women. For children. For whānau. For those who feel unheard. For those who are struggling. For those who have been told they don’t matter.
💔
That’s why I’m asking you to take a look at yeahnahbills.org.nz.
‼️
Read the proposed legislation. Read the submissions. Stay informed. And if there is something that matters to you, make a submission of your own.
🙏
Too often we think our voices don’t count. Too often we leave politics to politicians and decisions to other people.
🔥
But governments only have power because we give it to them.
Democracy belongs to all of us.
Your voice has power.
Use it to stand for equality.
Use it to stand for fairness.
Use it to stand for compassion.
Use it to stand for those who cannot stand alone.
Use it to help create a country where dignity, opportunity, and justice are available to everyone—not just the fortunate few.
❤️
Change doesn’t come from silence.
It comes from ordinary people who decide that enough is enough and choose to speak up.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If not us, then who?
If not now, then when?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Seas I’ve Sailed
Acrylic on canvas
🎨🌊
Over the past few months, I have poured myself into creating this painting,
The Seas I’ve Sailed.

Every brushstroke carries a piece of my story. A story of battles fought beneath the surface, of inner turmoil, grief, heartbreak, trauma, and the dark seasons that at times felt endless.
It reflects what it is like to feel alone in your pain, exhausted from constantly treading water, fighting with everything you have not to let the weight of it all pull you under.

Creating this piece has been an emotional journey. There are experiences that words never seem quite capable of holding,

Art has become a way to give those emotions a voice. Through colour, texture, light and shadow, I have been able to express feelings that often sit too deep for conversation.
While this painting tells part of my story, it is also a reflection of something universal.

Every one of us will face rough seas. We will encounter storms that test our strength, dark nights that challenge our hope, and moments where the shore seems impossibly far away.

But this painting is not about defeat.
It is about survival.
It is about finding the courage to keep going when the waves keep coming. It is about resilience born from adversity, strength forged through struggle, and the determination to hold on when letting go feels easier.
The darkness in this painting is real, but so is the light.
No matter how fierce the storm, dawn still comes. Healing is possible. Hope remains. And sometimes our greatest strength is simply taking one more breath, one more step, and choosing to keep going.

So if you are navigating rough seas right now, this is your reminder: hold on. Keep fighting. Trust that the light is still there, even if you cannot see it yet.
The seas I’ve sailed have shaped me, but they have not defined me.
And neither will yours. ❤️
