A Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Nadine Brown.
As a survivor of an abusive relationship, I understand the struggle to feel safe once you’re free.
Dealing with constant fear, even though you’re safe, is exhausting and confusing.
That is why The Resilient Blueprint exists. I wanted a resource site for others healing from an abusive relationship to have information, options, ideas, support and comfort at their fingertips.
Not a program. Not a plan. Not someone telling you what to do next or how long it should take. Things you can try, return to, or leave alone completely.
Not everything at The Resilient Blueprint is going to resonate with you, and that’s the point. Not everyone heals the same way, and what works for you now may not be what you need in six months. This is about finding what works for you to heal your way.
I’m still healing myself. There’s no real endgame to such a journey. I’ve found as I grow, my healing is different. My mindset changes, and while parts can feel uncomfortable and sometimes painful, the overwhelm has lessened, which means I get to view my emotions with interest rather than being overrun by them.
Healing has changed who I am and given me the strength to realise I was not living the life I wanted. I had accepted my life being steered by the whim of others in my world. I had settled. I don’t do that anymore. Now I have built the life of love and support with the right people in it. I have built boundaries for the first time in my life, and they have allowed me to thrive.
Overcoming my fears meant that I could actually live. I learnt to practice self-love and compassion, and I slowly developed my self-worth. I overcame the fear of having real love in my life (that was horrific and amazing all at the same time). I made plans and goals for my future instead of coasting along in autopilot and supporting others in their dreams. I changed my life completely, left Australia and now live in Bali with plans to continue to live in other countries around the world the way I have always wanted.
I’ve created a library that is continually growing, so you can learn, be inspired, get ideas and heal. It’s not intended to fix everything for you, and nothing can replace professional help if that’s what you need. It is created to be at your fingertips whenever you need a little bit of light, some understanding and to find what works for you.
