Throughout most of my life, I kept my challenges private. I often felt like no one could really relate. It wasn’t easy to find someone who understood what I was going through. Honestly, there were times when just having someone to talk to would’ve made a big difference. Over time, I started asking myself, “Why is it still so hard for people to talk about their struggles?” I realized it’s not just about courage. For a lot of people it’s so much more. In the last few years, I’ve really focused on self-improvement. I started to feel better, stronger, but deep down, I always felt like something was missing. So, I left everything I was doing and made it my mission to figure out how I could make a difference.

That’s what inspired me to create Reach with Thomas. It’s not about fixing anyone or offering advice. It’s about finding someone who truly understands what you’re feeling. Because sometimes, the most powerful thing you can hear is, “I’ve been there too.”

I believe that talking about your mental health shouldn’t come with a price tag. Opening up is hard enough already. My hope is that Reach can change millions of lives, but even if it’s just for one person, then to me, it’s already worth it.
