I thought I’d say Hi 👋 I'm Jess, mum to 2 kids, lover of the outdoors. Passionate about mental health & wellbeing. I've had a somewhat 'squiggly' career- Paediatrician turned primary teacher. Now educator, advocate, keynote speaker. I've not been here for a while so please stop and say hi!

I shared my TEDx talk to my 22k followers on X and got 2 likes. Yes 2 😢 Social media algorithms can make you feel strangely lonely. I thought I'd see what it's like here instead. The link's in my bio or below. Join me for 6 mins as I talk about reconnecting with my inner child.

I'm a doctor. I also happen to have experienced mental illness. For too long, I carried this secret with shame, Silenced by stigma. Today is #CrazySocs4Docs Day. A day to remember those we have lost & start conversations about mental health in healthcare. Show me your socks!

She was in her 40s. A resident doctor. Older than all her peers, she was different. She was the one who left on time and didn't bend over backwards to do more. Eyes rolled. People tutted. She wasn't committed. She lacked dedication. Then I became that woman. 🧵👇1/3

I set out to be a clinical doctor forever. Then life happened. I left medicine and, with that, felt completely lost. I have now found my way again, Navigating a path less trodden, But no less fulfilling. Careers are not linear.

Career paths, what people think (a straight arrow), what they actually are like (an arrow with a big loopy squiggle in the middle

I was a junior trainee. He was my senior. Inappropriate sexual comments, propositions, looks... I didn't know what to do and feared the consequences of telling someone... So I did nothing. We must prioritise creating sexually safe environments.

Exactly 2 years ago, I found the courage to join a choir. I've made friends, Reconnected with a hobby I loved as a child, And embraced my love of musicals. Today we started an 11 minute Wicked medley. Amazing! 🎵

Anyone who has seen me present will know I tend to use quotes from Bob's book, and this one always stands out to me: “In the end, it is about truly caring for every precious human being whose life we touch. It is about including everybody, not just the fortunate few or exceptionally talented."

Some of you might know me from X, Where, for 8 years I didn't dare show my face, Too afraid of the stigma associated with mental illness. But 2024 was a big one for me, One where I finally felt able to be myself. So, as we had into 2025, I wanted to say, There is hope. Things can be different.
