About Me

Hi, I’m Jadine Lydia.

I write words that move and manifest. My purpose is to inspire you, to give you hope in times of darkness, and to help you find strength when you feel lost.

My life story has been far from straightforward…

Having experienced multiple chronic health conditions for over a decade of my life, I’ve had to dig deep and pull myself out of some pretty dark places.

Writing has been and always will be – my medicine.

In the past decade of my life, I’ve overcome anxiety and depression, whilst learning to accept, heal, and thrive with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Postural Tachycardia Syndrome and a myriad of other mysterious diagnoses along the way.

I’ve navigated heartbreak and financial difficulties, I’ve lost people I love, I’ve lost myself (more than once), and somehow risen again. 

I’ve felt every emotion possible in this human experience:

pain, loss, love, hope, despair, grief, ecstasy, anger, frustration,

love – did I say love?

I pray, I pray a lot. I sing, I sing a lot. I dance, I dance a lot.

And through this dance of emotions, I’ve learnt to expand my capacity to hold the darkness and allow myself to experience more light.

I try to find love and hope, even in the darkest times.

Life isn’t always a happy-go-lucky place to be; I’ve learnt this the hard way.

I’ve also learnt that there is a force greater than anything that we could ever imagine, that guides us, moves us, and supports us in this life.

Writing connects me to the divine, and the divine knows the way.

I hope my writing moves you in the way that you need to be moved today.
