"It got to the point where people began saying that I was physically there but mentally absent! I was en route to burning out so this break was well and truly needed!!
"I learned a lot about myself, the main thing being that somewhere deep inside me, I have a grit and determination will not allow me to break. I had multiple tests and situations that brought me close to breaking point but each time I realised that it was nothing a good cry and pulling up those big girl pants couldn’t sort out." Chloe went on to say that she would be focussing on being kinder to herself and looking after her mind, body and soul in 2025.
