From Caterpillar to Butterfly: My Journey
My Story
Hi, I’m Jamaine — a skills coach, ADHD coach, and advocate for mental health, with a Master’s degree in Psychology. My journey hasn’t been an easy one, but every struggle has shaped me into the woman I am today.
I’m a survivor of domestic abuse and have lived with ADHD and traits of Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder. Alongside this, I’ve faced challenges with PTSD, OCD, and depression. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how complex and overwhelming life can feel — but also how resilience and transformation are possible.
The Caterpillar Phase
As a single mother of children with neurodiversity and trauma-related challenges, life often felt like survival mode. I turned to emotional eating, withdrew from the world, and numbed myself to cope. This was my caterpillar phase — hidden away, carrying the weight of pain, unsure how to move forward.It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom that I realised something had to change. That moment became the beginning of my metamorphosis.
Finding My Strength
Finding My StrengthThrough self-reflection, therapy, education, and support, I began the slow and powerful process of change. I started to rebuild my routines, care for my body, and nurture my mind. Bit by bit, I broke free from old patterns and began to see the woman I was always meant to become.I emerged stronger, more capable, and more confident than I had ever been. My transformation became a reminder that, like a caterpillar, we all have the ability to rise above adversity and step into something greater.
Why I Created Caterpillar Rising
Rising is my way of turning pain into purpose. I want women to know they don’t have to struggle alone — that transformation is possible no matter how dark things feel.Through coaching, courses, and community, I help women shed the layers that no longer serve them and embrace the strength within. Just like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon, you too can emerge stronger, freer, and ready to rise into your most powerful self.
