Why Steven Built This
There was always another woman at the heart of You Define You. My wife.
I'm Steven Jackson. I'm an accredited life coach, founder of You Define You, a father of three, and I lost my wife to suicide.
When you lose someone you love that way, you spend a lot of time looking backwards. At the conversations you had. The ones you didn't. The things you wish you'd understood. The moments that perhaps meant more than you realised at the time.
I wish she was still here. I wish she could see our children growing up. I wish our children still had their mum. I can't change any of that. I can't give my children their mum back. But I can decide what I do with what happened to our family. And that's a huge part of why I built You Define You.
Originally, we built it for men, because I knew how difficult men can find it to talk about what they're going through. How easy it is to say "I'm fine" and carry on. But there was always another part of this story. Because women can keep going too. They can work. Raise children. Laugh with friends. Look after everybody else. Be the woman everyone assumes is okay because she's always the woman who is okay. Until she isn't.
I don't want another woman to believe she has to reach that point before how she feels matters. And I never want another family to experience what ours has. That's why we built Becoming Her.
I wish we lived in a world where nobody needed it. We don't. So we're going to make damn sure it exists.
