We all have giants that need slaying: this is the story of those who defeated theirs. Hi I’m Mopsey, a mother of two amazing sons. Having learned to slay my own giants, this is something very close to my heart. Having raised my sons singlehandedly whilst navigating the difficulties of a chronic medical condition, I have faced numerous health challenges, as well as many personal battles. The Story of You: Giant Slayer has been inspired by these events.
Growing up I was not a child who stood up for myself, and was of a quiet nature, a lot of the time I allowed others who did me wrong to get away with it by remaining silent. My mother's treatment towards me did not help and resulted in me being forced to leave home, which contributed to unexpected life events.
Life's difficulties however, and the battles faced serve as lessons to us all, that in spite of the struggles, we all have an innate ability to overcome emerging stronger, and wiser, having an unshakeable sense of self, whether facing social or peer pressure, your doubts and fears.
I have worked in the areas of education, both primary and secondary. My academic achievements include BPhil in Social Science from the University of Birmingham in the UK. I currently support adult learners.
