It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and who better to chat to than Tabby! She’s a published writer, conversationalist, performance coach and mental health advocate and trainer.
Tabby has known a lot of loss in her short lifetime.
Her dad died when she was 16, she lost her brother in 2014 and then in late 2018 her husband Simon – the love of her life, best friend and business partner – passed away after a short time living with cancer.
Tabby is not scared to talk about death in an open, honest and engaging way that is not depressing and dark. In fact it is quite the opposite.
I recently had the honour and privilege of being a beta reader for Tabby’s upcoming book The Three Taboos: Cancer, Grief and Mental Health.
The way she writes about death is nothing short of beautiful. I emerged from the pages of her book with a renewed attitude to my own mortality and less fear around the fate that will happen to us all one day.
Tabby is fun, energetic, super smart and a lifelong performer. She knows how to entertain but she’s also a wealth of knowledge on all things mental health, stress, building confidence and living life to the full.
I hope you enjoy this gorgeous interview as much as I did.
