HOW THE F**K DID I LOSE MY TIARA?

A true story of glitter, grit, and being rescued from rock bottom—by the fire brigade, the police and ambulance. This is my journey, growing up dyslexic, bullied and placed on the “special bus” (you can imagine the ridicule). I used alcohol to mask deep-rooted low self-esteem, and ended up in a toxic relationship, pregnant and terrified. I escaped with my young son and borrowed £600 to buy a mobile caravan with no toilet, using a bucket as a toilet.

I threw myself into work and met a man who, like me, was trying to rebuild his life. He’d lost his home, his business — everything. We bonded through shared struggle and survival.

But behind the charm, he was hiding a serious drinking problem, one that would eventually spiral out of control, dragging everything down with it.

What I do know is this: we clung to each other in the chaos.
Even that wasn’t the worst of it — a multi-million-pound transfer, straight into Lehman Brothers, right before the world watched it crumble.

Meanwhile, I’d landed the biggest deal of my career — a global distribution contract spanning the USA, India, and across Europe. But just as things took off, his addiction spiralled. The man I once trusted turned violent.
The CPS stepped in. The courts got involved. I was homeless, broken, and forced to face the one thing I’d been running from: my own worth.

I hit rock bottom. I thought I’d failed my son. There was a moment I didn’t want to go on.
But I had to keep fighting.

This is a story of how a woman can lose everything to trauma, shame, and love gone wrong, and still rise.
It’s not polished or pretty. It’s raw, real, and unflinching.
This is the truth behind the tiara.
Not how I lost it — but how I rose without it.

“If you loved Maid, The Glass Castle, or The Pursuit of Happyness, this is for you.”
