This is not about us, this is Mandy’s Story.

Having a history of ADHD and PTSD and recently being given a diagnosis of Autism, Mandy gave up everything she knew of ‘normal’ life for the sake of her sanity.

She knew she was not managing with her traditional ‘9am – 5pm’ life and with the out break of Covid, knew she could spiral down into a deeper, dark place.

Mandy had to rely on herself and make changes for herself and that’s exactly what she did.

Quietly and without realising, the universe had been calling out to Mandy. Giving gentle, subtle hints, directing her back to the only place she had ever been truly happy. Portugal.

Sometimes you have to give up everything, to find out what’s important. Giving up ‘stuff’ can be easy, but would you give up daily access to your family, to live as the best version of yourself​?

Sometimes, in the giving up of things that’s when we find out what truly matters, where lifes’ real pleasures are, and what fills our mind with peace and calm.

After spending only a few hours with Mandy, I feel I had a small glimpse into her way to move forward, and into her plan for a much more fulfilled way of life.

Please keep an open mind and listen to the end, as we’ve all lived part of this story, whether we acknowledge it or not. Thank you and enjoy.
