I’m Trudi Jane, a writer and poet living in Tasmania, Australia.

 

My journey hasn’t always been an easy one. I left home at thirteen, navigating life on my own from an age when most are, and should still be cared for. My early experiences shaped so much of who I became, weaving through abuse, survival mode, co-dependency, people-pleasing, illness, loss, and eventually, transformation.

​

For years, I carried the weight of what had been. Then, in 2019, everything shifted. It was as if I stepped over an invisible threshold into a new way of seeing, a new way of being. Since then, I’ve had experiences that have deepened my understanding of life, love, and what it means to truly find peace within myself.

​

I don’t seek the spotlight, and often still feel rather socially awkward, but I do feel called to share what I’ve learned. I feel if my stories can offer someone a moment to pause, breathe, and believe that peace is possible for them, then that is enough. I know what it’s like to feel alone, but I also know now that healing, love, and meaning are always within reach.

​

These days, I maintain a small but loving circle that includes my ever-loyal dog, Cyril, who has walked beside me every step of the way into this new world, and my very healthy, deeply fulfilling relationship with my life partner DJ.

 

While I'm not huge on labels I can't avoid that my INFJ nature means I prefer depth over surface, presence over performance, and I find joy in the quiet beauty of life - the beach, the forests, waterfalls, rainy days, reading, and creating.

​

A little-known fact: powerlifting is my sport of choice. Despite the chaos of cancer treatments, grief, and loss these last years have brought I have been training for ten months now, finding strength in new places and working through hard things a little more every day.

​​

I run Awareness Through Writing online sessions periodically - sign up for my newsletter to stay updated (don’t worry, I won’t send more than one a month). If you’d like to hear from me more often, you’re welcome to join me on Facebook for daily posts and Substack, where I share reflections and longer stories at least weekly.

​

I also have some great items available on Etsy, where my words take shape in poetry prints, mugs and other meaningful creations. No books at this stage, but never say never, expect the unexpected and all that!

​

If you ever want to reach out, you can email me at trudijane396@gmail.com.

 

I’d love to hear from you.

​

Love always,

​

Trudi Jane
