Justine’s life journey reads like a series of unimaginable challenges.

Her physical health has also been tested through chronic illness and multiple life-threatening diagnoses, including multiple sclerosis, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and an acquired brain injury. Yet Justine’s story is not about suffering—it is about moxie: courage, resilience, determination, and the refusal to be defined by hardship. Rather than becoming a catalogue of pain, her life has become a blueprint for growth, strength, and service. Through her work as an author, creative, and entrepreneur, Justine now uses her experiences to inspire and empower others to face their own challenges with courage and purpose. Her new book, Moxie, is a raw and honest reflection on adversity and resilience.
