My name is Eila Jameson-Avey and I’m an author. After a battle with mental health, I wrote a book which was published. It was a dream I’d had since a child but never expected to fulfil. It was this dream that helped me overcome the mental health condition that crippled me for half a decade.

In these busy times, we are all too good at burying our real emotions and ignoring what their telling us. Having a dream and taking steps to fulfil it provides an escape from the day to day trials of everyday life and provides a sanctuary where we can succeed and enjoy the present.

In my talk, I share my experience and motivate others to realise their dreams and in the process maintain their mental health.
