Tayla Clement was born in Christchurch, New Zealand. She was born with moebius syndrome which affects one in three million people. Endured years of bullying in school because of how she looked. Six attempts to take her own life. Lied to parents about the bullying so they wouldn’t get upset.Her advice to victims of bullying: “Talk to someone you trust and over communicate your feelings. You can’t deal with negativity all on your own.” Age 15: Diagnosed with Extreme Clinical Depression, PTSD, experienced 8-9 seizures/day. The meaning you give your experiences can break you or empower you. She chooses the latter. That’s how she has come out of being a depressed teenager into a powerful individual. Like everyone she still has the hard days but has found tools and ways to help her deal with her day to day problems.Tayla’s passion is sharing her story to inspire people. She loves to help people feel happy. After the interview I was truly inspired by her story and her attitude.Connect with Tayla and follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taylaclementAbout David Mead:David played 14 years of professional rugby league, representing the Brisbane Broncos, Gold Coast Titans, Catalans Dragons, and captaining the PNG Kumuls.
