This Didn’t Start With a Business Plan

It started with heartbreak. The kind that knocks the wind out of you. The kind that doesn’t just end a relationship — it ends your sense of self.

I went from married to betrayed to completely lost. I'd spent so long being wrapped up in someone else’s life that when it ended, I had no idea how to live mine. I couldn’t eat. Couldn’t sleep. I was in survival mode. I clung to TikTok and Instagram trying to find something — anything — that made the pain feel smaller.

I did things I used to roll my eyes at. Journaling. Affirmations. Walking. Breathing. I googled how the nervous system worked. I wanted to understand why I was shaking all the time. I needed a reason, and I needed a way through.

That’s how this started. With small, quiet efforts to get through the day.

And then, one day on the phone to a friend, she said, “There are just too many pricks in this world.” We both laughed, and for the first time in weeks, I felt a little less powerless. The name stuck.

Too Many Pricks was born from that moment — not as a business, not as a plan, but as a response to pain. A way to make sense of things.

And Then I Realised Something Bigger

I had support. I had therapy. I had education. I had a home. I had my dog getting me out of bed every day.

And I kept thinking — what happens to the women who don’t have those things?

What happens to the ones who are just as broken, but don’t have the same safety net? The ones who are alone in their pain? Who’ve been silenced, dismissed, pushed to the margins?

That thought stuck with me. And I couldn’t not do something with it.

So This Became Something Else Entirely

Too Many Pricks is now a not-for-profit platform. It’s for the women who feel lost. For the girls who’ve been told they’re too much, or not enough. For anyone trying to piece themselves back together after life tore them apart.

Everything here is free. Because healing shouldn't cost money.

No upsells. No life coaching. No pressure.

Just honest, simple tools that worked for me — and the opportunity to pay it forward.

Because sometimes the best way to process your own pain is to help someone else survive theirs.

We don’t believe in hoarding healing. If you have more than you need — space, time, stability — you can use that to quietly lift someone else.

That’s not charity. That’s community.

That’s how we chip away at the damage done by the pricks of the world — the systems, the betrayals, the people who take without thinking.

We're not here to fix everything. But we are here to do something.

Even if it’s small.
