Yep, that really happened! It still makes me smile thinking about it. I’ve always loved getting involved in fun community events, and I’m definitely the kind of person who will say yes to something a bit different, especially if it involves movement, laughter, and good people.

“Each birth was amazing and showed me how incredible our bodies are!”

Something about me that not everyone knows is that I gave birth to my three children at home during planned homebirths.

Each birth was amazing and showed me how incredible our bodies are. A perfect day for me now would probably involve some beach or pool time, a massage, and a yummy meal out. I also relax and recharge by spending time in the sun, enjoying beautiful views, and doing some gentle movement.

I’m 45, married to Jason, who’s been by my side since high school. Our daughter, Letishia, is 21 now, and being her mum has been the joy of my life.

Meet Donna: A Journey of Self-Acceptance and Embracing New Adventures

Womens body positivity and Self-Acceptance banner

“I’m open to trying something new.”

Two years ago, I made a huge life change. I packed everything I owned into my car and drove from Melbourne to the Brisbane, where my sisters and their families live. I felt it was time for a fresh start. I’ve been working remotely for five years—three of those during lockdown and the last two on the Sunshine Coast in IT. I recently quit my job and am on the lookout for a new career!
