“I walked away feeling deeply inspired and incredibly motivated.” That’s what readers are saying about Finding My Feet 💜

This book isn’t just a read — it’s a wake-up call to live boldly, love fully, and never stop fighting for your dreams.

Devyn's words captured exactly why I wrote this book: to remind us all that purpose, passion, and perseverance can carry us through anything.

Did you know that 1 in 15 people in South Africa is affected by a rare disease?
As someone living with a rare disease, this statistic hits home. Despite how common it is, awareness and support are still incredibly low.

That’s why I’m proud to take part in the #RareChain Challenge—a movement to amplify voices, share stories, and drive change for the rare disease community.

Rare disease fact: Many people living with rare conditions go years without a diagnosis, often feeling isolated or misunderstood.
But we are here. We are strong. And we deserve to be seen.

Now, I’m challenging:

Post a photo, share a fact or story, and keep the #RareChain going!

Let’s flood social media with awareness and advocacy—because no one should feel alone in their journey.

Today is Earth Day – and what a gift this planet

Today is Earth Day – and what a gift this planet is.

As someone who spends so much time outdoors, feeling the sun on my face and hearing the birds sing, I’m reminded every day how deeply connected we are to nature. This beautiful world gives us so much—peace, perspective, and a sense of possibility.

Let’s honour it by doing our part, no matter how small. Recycling, reusing, showing kindness to animals, or supporting causes that protect the environment—all of it matters. Just like accessibility and inclusion, change begins with awareness and intention.

Let’s be gentle with the Earth and with each other. We only have one planet—let’s love it well.

Last week, I finally took a moment to pause.

As someone who genuinely believes in the medical system—and has experienced just how vital treatment and medication can be—I also know that our bodies weren’t meant to carry the constant stress so many of us are under, day in and day out.

It had been a particularly tough couple of weeks health-wise. Between doctor’s appointments and the side effects of new medications, I was drained—physically and emotionally.

So last week, I gave myself what I truly needed: rest. I booked a facial (which came with an amazing massage), and for an entire hour, I just was. No rushing, no noise, no doing—just stillness. And it reminded me how powerful those quiet moments can be.

That’s why I’m so passionate about my speaking engagements. They’re more than just motivational talks—they’re intentional pauses in the workday, moments to reflect, reconnect, and breathe.

In the hustle of deliverables and deadlines, creating space for stillness can be a game-changer for wellbeing and mindset.

Let’s make more room for those moments—your teams will thank you for it.

What if true strength lies in being open to learni

What if true strength lies in being open to learning from others?

As someone living with a disability, I’ve come to understand that my journey offers people a chance to learn—not just about SMA or accessibility—but about humanity, resilience, and the power of perspective.

I don’t share my story for sympathy or applause. I share it to raise awareness, to spark understanding, and to encourage change.

Every day, I live in a world that often overlooks accessibility. But through my voice, my experiences, and my work with KmotivationSA, I get to shine a light on what inclusion should really look like.

Awareness is the first step. But what we do with that awareness is what matters most.

Whether you're a teacher, a colleague, a leader, or a friend—you have the chance to learn from the people around you. And sometimes, that learning starts with listening to someone whose life looks different from yours.

So here’s my ask: stay curious, stay open, and be a voice for accessibility.

Together, we can build a more inclusive world—one conversation, one lesson, one story at a time.

April is Stress Awareness Month – a time to paus

April is Stress Awareness Month – a time to pause, reflect, and prioritize our mental well-being.

Stress affects us all differently, but what unites us is the need to manage it in healthy, sustainable ways. Whether it’s taking a walk, talking to someone you trust, practicing mindfulness, or simply giving yourself permission to rest — your mental health matters.

It’s so important to take time to reset. Your body, mind, and soul deserve moments of stillness and care. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

Let’s use this month to break the stigma, start the conversation, and support one another. Remember: it’s okay to not be okay, and asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

Take a deep breath. You’ve got this.
