Welcome, thanks for dropping in.

My name is Ali. I created this site to share my stories about overcoming the traumas in my life and how I have found happiness.

It is my mission to help women understand they are not alone and can also transform from survival mode, to thriving, as I have.

My world changed dramatically in October 2015 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It turned my life upside down as it also did for my husband and six children. It was a long road to recovery.

I was no stranger to this disease. My Mother and Grandmother both passed away after losing their own battles with breast cancer when I was just 16.

I spent 30 years struggling through life, feeling like a significant part of me was missing. I still do sometimes, but I have healed, and no longer sit in sadness.

My stories are about my adventures through life and grief. I share my experiences, thoughts and inner most feelings. It is my hope that you may connect with my words and draw strength for your own life.

I continually learn about myself and am no stranger to getting uncomfortable. For the last 20 years I have immersed myself into self development and doing “the work”. It hasn’t always been easy, particularly during my own breast cancer journey. However, what I have learned has helped me transform my life and as a result, it has become my passion to encourage and teach women to prioritise their own health and well being.

We are all affected in different ways by difficult life events, but how we choose to react to them determines our experiences for the better – or not.

The name of my blog, “Raw and Completely Beautiful”, means exactly that. The stories I share are raw. I am open and honest.

I am beautifully incomplete, but I am completely beautiful… we all are.

Join the Raw and Completely Beautiful community and follow my stories. Come and say hi!
