About me
G'day, legends. If you're reading this, you might know a bit about me already.
You know I don’t hold back on sharing relatable stories, speaking real and raw truths, and always hold people accountable for being the solution to their own problems. I am the creator of the global ZEROFKS movement, have a meditation app coming soon, host of the REAL, RAW, RELATABLE podcast, a coach, keynote speaker, and run workshops that help bring people’s souls back to life and save their fks for the things that matter.
I wasn't always this way. I struggled through bulimia, drug use...
..people pleasing and coming to terms with sexual abuse. From the ages of 18- to 25-years old, I suffered from chronic nerve pain and a congenital brain malformation that culminated in brain surgery. When that didn’t fix me I became depressed and battled suicidal thoughts. I felt like I was at a dead end, until a neurology professor convinced me to shift my focus to the inside in order to help the outside. Everything changed after that. I swapped medicine for meditation, started listening to and moving my body, practiced visualisation, listened to my inner voice and completely rewired my brain. Ten months later, I was unrecognisable.
Life hasn't always been easy, but I've faced each challenge head and heart on and given rise to a force within me that is unstoppable.
I believe my experiences happened for a reason – to serve others and give them the same wake-up call that I so badly needed. I may have taken the long route, but I’m here to share the shortcuts. Thank you for trusting me with your journey – I can’t wait to meet the real you.
A successful movement requires amazing people to back it up. Five amazing ambassadors lead #ZFTuesday events across the country, so you always have someone to dance away your fks with. Here’s a little more about them.
Georgia Renee Pitts
Song to get her dancing:
Anything reggaeton, Latin or Zumba–cue Enrique Iglesias and Despacito by Luis Fonsi.
Favourite quote:
“Living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living life consciously, aware that each moment you breath is a gift.”–Oprah Winfrey
Allison Bell
Ally is an integrative nutritional health coach and works full time for a physiotherapist. She has a knack for making people laugh and feel safe and came across #ZFTuesday after a suicide attempt. It was one of the things that helped her rediscover her joy. “Being able to get out of my own head is what I believe saved my life,” says Ally. “It’s a community that I will treasure forever.”
Song to get her dancing:
Send Me On My Way by Rusted Root and somebody’s Watching Me by Rockwell.
Favourite quote:
“You’ve mastered survival mode, but now it’s time to live.”– Unknown
Krista Sullivan
Office administrator by day and oil lover by night, Krista loves off-grid camping, baking and lifting weights at the gym. Her superpower is being honest with people and listening to her intuition. For Krista, #ZFTuesday is about letting go of daily hang ups and remembering that there are more important things in life that deserve your energy. “It means showing up to lead and raise my own vibe to inspire people to raise theirs,” she says.
Song to get her dancing:
Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker, Waterloo by ABBA and Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5.
Favourite quote:
“Your perception of me is a reflection of you, my reaction to you isanawareness of me.”–Unknown
Danyel Waters
Danyel is a Nutritionist and Natural Health educator and has her own own line of Superfood Powders, Wholistic Health Essentials. She loves her big forest adventures & hikes, hang time with the family, humanitarian trips, hanging out with rad women and living a BIG life. Her SECRET superpower is being able to conjure up a big goal without knowing the exact path to how she’ll get there. To Dan, #ZFTuesday means no matter what she’s going through, the ability to move her body to process emotions and maybe inspire someone else to do the same, is a goddamned gift.
Song to get her dancing:
Elton John’s I’m Still Standing and Bruce Springsteen’s Dancing in The Dark are my dance
Favourite quote:
“If you aren’t in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I’m not interested in your feedback.” Brene Brown
Dominique Mathieson
Dom is a stay at home mum and works part time for a Urologist (although dancing is what she’s really, really good at)! Her superpower is being a mum and enjoys the jet ski life and spending most of her weekends out on the water, hanging out with family and friends, dancing around the house, going down the beach. To Dom, #ZFTuesday is that moment in time, where she feels completely free of everything and hasn’t a care in the world of what others think or what I’m thinking, it’s just her and the music.
Song to get her dancing:
Pump It Up by Endor.
