not just surviving -
winning the fight
Hi, I’m Corenne. I’ve lived through a few battles — cancer, self-doubt,
and learning to understand a neurodivergent brain that never quite fit the mould.
Boxing became my therapy, writing became my voice, and somewhere in between I found myself again.
Today, I write about healing, identity, and the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding life on my terms.
I share my stories with honesty, humour, and the occasional jab
(because what’s life without a little fight?).
"fall in love with yourself,
with life, and then
with whoever you want."
life. healing. writing.
one post at a time.
I write about the things that make us human —
the battles we fight quietly,
the laughter that sneaks in anyway,
and the lessons that come with starting over
(again and again).
"I'm not fragile like a flower,
I'm fragile like a bomb."
Stories That Heal. Stories That Hurt (in the Best Way).
Beyond the blog, I write fiction and memoir — stories rooted in truth, resilience, and survival.
My current project, Here Lies Vincent Jacobs, began as a short story and is slowly growing into a novel about secrets and revenge.
If you enjoy raw, emotional storytelling with a side of rebellion and reflection, this is where you’ll find it.
"nothing is more important than laughter.
it is strength to laugh and
abandon oneself, to be light.
tragedy is the most ridiculous thing."
How I Fought Back —
and Found Myself in the Ring
Cancer tried to take everything — my body, my strength, my fire.
Boxing gave it all back.
What started as physical recovery became something deeper: discipline, power, and self-belief.
Every punch was a reminder that I was still here, still capable, still fighting.
Now, the ring isn’t just where I train — it’s where I remember who I am.
"at the end of the day
we can endure much more
than we think we can."
healing isn't linear
It’s messy, unpredictable, and sometimes downright ridiculous.
But it’s also beautiful.
If my story resonates, come along for the ride.
