ReDiscovering Purpose: A Mission Close to My Heart

When you've spent years supporting someone else, it's easy to lose sight of who you are. That's the painful reality for millions of unpaid carers across the UK – a truth that's driven my work with Carers Wales over the past few years.

The "Rediscover You" course isn't just a program. It's a lifeline. It's about recognising the incredible individuals behind the caregiving – people with dreams, talents, and potential that haven't disappeared, just been put on pause.

Every time I hear a participant share their story of rediscovery, of reclaiming their confidence and reimagining their future, I'm reminded why this work matters so deeply. It's not about charity. It's about justice. It's about acknowledging the immense, often invisible contribution of carers and providing a genuine pathway back to themselves.

This isn't just professional work for me. It's personal. It's a commitment to those who give so much of themselves, often at the cost of their own aspirations.
