The truth behind why I became a Tropic Ambassador...
As a mum of five and a wife, I've spent my entire twenties and most of my thirties raising my family. It was a choice I made with all my heart, and one I would make again in a heartbeat. But if you're a parent, you'll know that loving it doesn't make it easy.
Being a parent is one of the most selfless things you can do. Every day, you give a little piece of yourself to the people you love most. Their needs come first. Their happiness comes first. Their dreams come first.
And before you know it, you're wondering where you went.
For years, every ounce of me was poured into six other people. That's just 16.6% each, and somehow it still never felt like enough. I was constantly trying to be everything to everyone. A present mum. A supportive wife. A good friend. A dedicated family member. Someone who exercised. Someone who had a career.
I kept adding more to my plate, even when there was nothing left to give.
The truth is, there were times I felt lost. Times I felt guilty for wanting something that was just mine. Times I wondered if I'd ever find something that made me feel like me again, rather than just the roles I fulfilled for everyone else.
Then Tropic came into my life.
At first, it was skincare. As a mum who had always searched for gentle, natural products for my children and myself, I fell in love with the products almost immediately.
But what surprised me was everything that came after.
I found a community. I found encouragement. I found women who understood the juggle, the exhaustion, the guilt, and the desire to be more than just what everyone else needed from you.
For the first time in a long time, I had something that belonged to me.
Something that brought me joy. Something that gave me purpose outside of the home. Something that reminded me that looking after myself wasn't selfish, it was necessary.
Along the way, I've earned extra income, travelled to amazing places, stepped outside my comfort zone, and created friendships that I know will last a lifetime.
But the biggest gift Tropic has given me isn't any of those things.
It gave me permission to find myself again.
To remember that I am not just a mum, not just a wife, not just the person holding everything together.
I am me.
And for the first time in a very long time, I make time for her too.
