As She Beasts is poised to make an even bigger impact in our local community in 2024, join us as we explore the journey of empowerment and transformation, one story at a time.

A Journey Through Struggles and Strength

Dealing with traumatic events can be incredibly overwhelming. I spent my formative years battling my own mental health while being surrounded by toxic people and environments.

I'll be honest with you: I've been through some dark times. I was the girl who faced multiple suicide attempts and engaged in self-harm.

But I’m here today, more resilient than ever, and I want to share my story to inspire others who may be going through similar challenges. I am the girl who lives with and has overcome:

• Trauma
• Struggling with food
• Depression
• Anxiety
• PTSD
• EUPD (BPD)

Finding She Beasts

I was introduced to She Beasts in February 2021 through a referral from Birmingham & Solihull Women's Aid (BSWA). What caught my attention was the empowering concept of She Beasts, especially their focus on making a positive impact in marginalized communities. Since then, I have been on a transformative journey—physically, mentally, and financially.

It’s important to note that domestic abuse encompasses more than just physical violence; it can take many forms. I was referred to IRIS through my GP and warned that if things didn’t change at home, my daughter’s well-being could be at risk. I couldn’t let that happen, so I made the challenging decision to leave.

My ultimate goal is to make my daughter proud and be the best mother I can be. To achieve this, I took the first step by investing in myself through counseling, volunteering for Women's Aid, and giving back to the organizations that supported me during my lowest moments.

A Transformative Journey with She Beasts

It was then that I first met Sadie, the founder of She Beasts. She passionately explained her concept and the incredible goals she wanted to achieve. I was absolutely blown away by her vision! At that time, I lacked the self-confidence to fully believe in myself, so my response was a cautiously optimistic "Yes." It’s amazing how much has changed since that initial meeting.

Although the entire process may seem unbelievable, it is absolutely possible. I am now a qualified content creator with a distinction grade, all funded by She Beasts. However, the process of online learning with external providers proved challenging. This is why the She Beasts Academy has now been set up.

The She Beasts Academy: Empowering Women Through Strength

The methodology of She Beasts centers around healing through strength, offering women who have experienced trauma the essential tools to rebuild their lives and emerge even stronger than before. Focusing on three core pillars—fitness, nutrition, and mindset—these transferable skills can significantly impact the healing and growth journey of survivors. It’s a complete transformation from the inside out.
